At around midday security closed off the toilets. If it was for scheduled maintenance, I cant say. The whole upstairs area was chockers when I was up there, you could hardly move. I watched a bit of the latte art comp, then headed off to Lowenbrau.

I managed to get to the ECM guys with no problem and the loos were working too.

Ill probably be going to give Di Bartoli a hand.

Might get a spare minute to say hi then Chris.

I dont think you can handle seeing me twice in one lifetime Chris.

The ECM display always has a huge queue. Very hard to get in if you dont get there early.

Closing down the only public toilets in the building last year was a bit of a downside as well.

Ill be up there again this year. The plan is to play with the guys from ECM...

Drop in, have a look and play and identify yourself if youre gonna do the Aromafest 07 thing

I went to the Catering Trade Fair last year at Homebush and there were some guys there selling a very thick hot choc. Ive still got the program and some things from that show, I could have a dig for the name if you like.

Hi

I am trying to find a floor plan of the 2006 festival. Can you help. I am looking for the guys who were selling a new thick hot chocolate. Have not seen the product again. I do not think i have the correct name of the product.

Regards

Steven

Hey Matty G!

Its me. Your Aroma festival "mate". I was so inspired by that last hit from the Giotto that I had to join up with the snobs.

Ill verify everything Matt. I would drink Fijian Kava again before having another coffee from the Saeco!

ECM has never let me down at the aroma festival and now that I have a kitchen to put one in I am in the market. Just need to find a good deal.......

Dr. V. Welcome to the dark side, or are we the light side?

DR eh? When did you get that medical degree

Yes I look forward to the day you get the new addition to the family. Ill be round with a bag of home roast for sure. I was very tempted to trade up yesterday, but CFO made it clear that if a new appliance is to be bought its going to be a LCD TV first

Ive already forwarded some of the deals 2MCM was offering on the old classic from Talk Coffee so I would certainly give them and other sponsors a go. No B.S and they will back it up with heaps of advice, which you will definitely need!

Cheers,

Matt

It was a beautiful day, which sadly enough, drew huge crowds.

Only had one cuppa, down at the champions tent, prepared by Hazel. They were still setting the tent and machines up, and there was already a huge queue for Klaus (reigning WBC champion) on the Synesso. When the second machine came online, I jumped into that queue. Hazel was frantically trying to dial in the grinder. I was in no hurry, and was rewarded with a very nice shot. It was a double, because the single was being a pain in the arse. Thanks Hazel!

If I remember correctly, the coffee used was Numero Uno, roasted by Dean Morgan out in Emu Plains. Very nice indeed. The Synesso was using Byron Bay coffee, Id heard it was decent, but not spectacular.

Walked past the throng of people queueing up for a look at some toasters or sandwich presses and watched a little of the Latte Art Comp, some of the competitors were really nervous.

Got to meet Andy and Chris (2mcm), along with Framey and FC. Nice bunch of blokes.

Ended up at Lowenbrau with a plate of cheese spaetzle and a litre of dunkel weizen.
