Re: Adelaide
Hi guys, I went to the Central Market tonight too.
Purely to buy some coffee. Not sure if I am able to mention from who?
Got some Ethiopian Harrar, my first SO coffee to try. 8-)
Bought a blend as well.
Always love going to the Central Market.
Will have to try SC but will have to get up there and back in a lunch time.
Been trying to find a list of what they sell.

Re: Adelaide
Yes, Greg, SC was definitely on the agenda but we couldnt get the
timing right. Nonetheless we had a lively and pleasant early morning
discussion and breakfast at Lucias. The Central Market is definitely
much more civilized early in the morning. Was there earlier this
evening, noisy and hectic, but did discover a source of 87% dark
chocolate.
Id add the nicely spicy Yirgacheffe to your SC list, especially
as espresso.
Hope things are going well in Perth ...

Re: Adelaide
Probably too late on this one, but make an effort to get to Simply Coffee on Rundle St in Kent Town. The 104 or 106 bus takes you along North Tce and its only a couple of blocks to Simply Coffee. Its an experience I can tell you; dozens of bean varieties, equipment, and the enormous roaster in the front of the shop. Its the sort of place you can sit and just absorb the atmosphere, not to mention theyre passionate about what they make! If youre latte drinker I highly recommend the Indian Elephant and Indian Tiger blends. Panama is another great one but a little milder.

Re: Adelaide
Well, there was a meeting of coffeesnobs at the bright start of 730am today. Hazbean, Mrs Hazbean and myself met up with Grendal at Lucias in the Central Market for breakfast and coffee and had a wee chat.
I took a couple pics with my phone that I will post later, as I am sure Grendel has some of us too!!!
I need to go and have a wee nanna nap :

Re: Adelaide
Id be keen to catch up there on the morning of the 8th - I have a 9 am start for the days sessions so bright and early would work for me - it will be a nice walk to start the day by the sound of things.

Re: Adelaide
Having been to Simply Coffee yesterday to meet up with Coretto I think that would be the best place for us to meet up. It is quiet and unobtrusive and the coffee is very nice with a good variety. I even picked up some Tiger Mountain yesterday to take home. They were delicious this morning with my breakfast.
I dont know about hazbean but I can meet you on the 8th or the 9th.

Re: Adelaide
That wouldnt be Rundle Park Lands would it?Originally posted by lucinda link=1168509579/0#9 date=1169035890you just keep following Rundle mall, Rundle street, Rundle road through the park lands to get there.
Imaginative lot.
Why is it called Adelaide then instead of Rundleaide?

Re: Adelaide
Try Simply Coffee in Kent town - about a twenty minute walk from Rundle Mall. Basically you just keep following Rundle mall, Rundle street, Rundle road through the park lands to get there.
Monjava is a couple of streets over from Simply coffee, although I dont think they have relocated their roastery to the kent town premises yet.
Rio is a bit (quite a bit) further away, in Norwood.

Re: Adelaide
Well, Ill be there on the 7th for sure and Staying pretty much on Rundle Mall so any coffee places near there will get a visit from me as I wander.
If I have the chance to go check out a roastery (maybe Rio or something like that) Ill give it a try.

Re: Adelaide
The markets are fully open on Tuesday, Thursday and Fridays although Lucias and some of the other places are open everyday.
The only day I am not available is the 24th as I have a herceptin treatment. I am sure I can catch up any other time. It would be nice to put a face to the posts.

Re: Adelaide
Looks great!
I am a huge fan of the Adelaide markets and I am hoping well be meeting in the Hilton - which from memory is practically on top of the markets.
Ill know more of my schedule next week but Id love to catch up with other CSers if I have the chance.
