Melbourne International Coffee Expo (MICE) 2014

[JetBlack_Espresso]

We're exhibiting this year and we're at stand 94 (in the walkway between the Grand Pavilion and the Competition area - very close to some guy who runs a coffee forum ). We'll have some of our newest machines on display including the Profitec Pro 700 and Lelit Mara. Drop in and say hi.

Looking forward to seeing lots of CSers there and seeing what else is on display,

Looks like it's going to be a terrific few days, especially at the CoffeeSnobs Display - Should be great Andy...

Wish I could be there...

I can't go to MICE on Saturday.

If you're stranded Sunday, I can take you to the airport on my way home.

[Andy]

I'll be on the stand when you arrive else I would have offered to grab you from the airport.

Melbourne Airport is a bugger to get out of unless you are driving... State governments have talked about a train for 30 or 40 years but it still doesn't have one.

With any luck another CS'r sees this thread and can give you a lift... or you find a couple of others to split a cap fare.

Thanks Chokkidog.
Looking at the bus services I was wondering whether it was poor comprehension on my part.

The skybus was excellent last time I visited the CBD, wasn't so sure about its access to the showgrounds though.

Hi Ben,

Just in case you can't hook-up with someone else.

SkyBus - City. Airport. Express.

or the more complicated public route;

Bus Services - To and From the Airport - Melbourne Airport

Hi Folks,

I'm flying in at 11.30am on Saturday 17th and out at 4.30pm on Sunday.
I have not arranged a transfer yet and need to keep a lid on spending
Is anyone else making their way to/from the airport and MICE at this time?
