      Hey Julian - can I make a suggestion and sorry its OT....

      I think it would be good for you to do the course with another perosn from your establishment. When you leave the training, you can learn from each other and spur each other on to greater heights in coffee making. It would also provide you with a back up in case you arent there and if that were to happen, consistency for your customers.

        Agreed re the consistency.
        My experience this weekend in Terrigal where my morning coffee was well made and my afternoon one made by someone else was nowhere near as good, was disappointing.

            Good design for "cafe land"...i.e. it helps a lot with getting the whirlpool action happening without too much effort. The spout could be a bit better for latte art...but the major problem I have with it is that it is too bottom heavy to pour art.

            They come in 1 size only, 1L in 3 colours; each to match the pura milk colours.

              Finally got around to ordering a new jug after many months since starting this thread. My art since that time has been ok but normally too fat and ugly and not enough fine detail.

              First pour with the new one... OK Ive done better but its 100% or more on what Ive been able to do for months with my old one. Of particular interest in this photo is the detail in the leaves as I havent been able to do this for a while, not the symmetry which wasnt done well. Its the same type of jug I used at Epic so its not surprising results are improved again. I just felt so much more in control - the tip is a lot sharper so you can get right down to the surface, you can pour slowly when the jugs still half full without having it run down the front of the jug and onto the table (to avoid this I normally have to start pouring fairly fast which creates turbulence which messes up anything that might follow), and working with such a fine pencil I felt a lot more in control and could take my time on the art rather than having to rush it out to prevent any foam just glugging out and drowning it all.

              Highly recommended. I might even start selling these jugs myself.
