Our new blog post is live and it discusses current tech for the fast heating machinery we all desire.

Fellow Ode 2 grinder is in the house and I’m pleased to be able to give it a TC ✅. It is clean, quick and quiet and well and truly capable of choking the machine out of the box. Flavour profile? The espresso was great. 👌

According to the 📰 this morning, Gerry reckons you should part with $4295 for this 💩.

Come to us with your $4295 and rather than an average plastic appliance, you’ll get real espresso equipment which will last, rather than decay into a pile of microplastics. We’ll show you how to get the best from it too.

Choose wisely. Your morning cup depends on it!

Multiple full capacity roasts on the Aillio Australia R2 Pro today. Plenty of headspace to profile. You could easily get to 2nd crack in 10 minutes if you wanted that.

This is the best small electric roaster there is! 🎯

We’re all waiting for the ECM Espresso Machines Estetika and Technika VI as well as the R58 Tune. Why does it take so long?

Have a read over my recent blog post for an explanation. On a positive note, one of these has finally hit Aussie shores for importer evaluation.
