Brilliant - even saved me the expense of the "Shopping trip in Melbourne" bribe that I thought Id be up for The reports from last year make it sound like an opportunity too good to miss.

Pleasantly surprised that Cafebiz is back in Sydney and I have a chance to participate in the much vaunted Beanology. Ive got my ticket.

The new venue in Sydney looks great and I think the room we have above the exhibition hall should be perfect for this.

The sessions on the Monday will be the same as on Sunday to allow people to see the competitions and the trade floor as well as spending a day in Beanology.

Its going to be a great couple of days.

CoffeeSnobs Beanology 2012

SUNDAY 18th MARCH



and the same sessions also on

MONDAY 19th MARCH



CafeBiz 2012


This year CafeBiz will be in Sydney at:

Australian Technology Park
Locomotive Street
Eveleigh NSW 2015

(easiest access is train to Redfern Station, Exit via Platform 10)

Sessions will be a mixture of presentations, questions and hands-on with plenty of interesting coffees and coffee making equipment available to play with during the day.

Sessions are:

10:00am   
Cup Profile
One of the most important aspects of coffee is the "Cup Profile" of a specific lot. In order to talk about good quality, you need to start digging into the story and history of that specific coffee. This doesnt stop on the country or the region; there’s a much broader range of variables and information you need to take into account like its complete traceability, process, drying method, and varietals involved. By having a clear picture of these aspects you can expect a certain profile or even have a sense of better blend development and roasting profiles.

11:00am
Coffee Roaster Blending Techniques   
Coffee is blended together by coffee roasters for a variety of reasons. Generally this is done to produce a better beverage than if the coffees were standalone but this is not always the sole intention and blending can be undertaken for a number of other reasons.
These sessions will focus on the reasons for blending coffee and the techniques that a roaster can use to optimise their blended coffee results.

Break --- 12:00 - 1:00 ---


1:00pm
Same Coffee, Different Results.
Using simple equipment and some good software you can get a much better idea of what’s happening inside the roaster and more importantly be able to replicate it next time. In this session we will look at the equipment needed to monitor the roast and will explore the same coffee roasted to different profiles. You will see and then more importantly taste the difference that profiling can make on the same bean during the hands-on component of this session.

2:00pm
Branding & Marketing
Not only does your business have a brand, you also need to identify what your own personal brand is and that should be explored, promoted and then marketed.  This session will be hosted by the founder of Di  Bella coffee, Phillip Di  Bella who has in 10 short years taken the Di  Bella brand to dizzy heights and has an amazing track record in the coffee business of knowing how to efficiently market and build product demand.

3:00pm
Stovetops aint stovetops...
Craig Hirons going to run a session showing in detail how and why Ottos brewing system is capable of pulling espresso shots, rather than the longer brew we all expect from a stovetop coffee machine. The session will involve detailed discussion around Ottos brewing system, with demonstrations of course.
Additionally, Craig will be demonstrating the new induction cooktop designed specifically for 0tto, and suitable for stainless steel kettles. The induction tops scheduled for launch in April this year.
