In honour of Cup Day! 🐎

Four blends. One glass. A Cup Day photo finish.

The Christmas Blend came from the outside to take it.

Which one’s in your martini?

A few weeks of daily use. The honest review of the Breville Barista Express. ☕️⚙️

The grinder adjusts on the side. The gauge tells you if your grind and dose are in range, genuinely useful starting out.

One real limitation: no brewing and steaming at once.

Start with the forgiving one, while your getting the machine worked out, shop the Espresso Blend, link in bio.

Five things Pete would tell anyone with a Barista Express.

👉 Filtered water, not tap.
👉 Beans roasted fresh!
👉 18g in, 36g out, 25–30 seconds. Get scales.
👉 Use the gauge on the front.
👉 Blind filter and a cleaning tab, once a week.

Save this one. You’ll want it Sunday morning. ☀️

Twenty years ago, if something brown came out of the machine and looked a bit like coffee, you’d decided you were making coffee. 👍

Cappuccinos that looked like a pavlova had landed from space. Milk texture wasn’t a thing. Then someone worked out you could put a little heart on top and everyone lost their minds. 🤯

Now it’s every cup, every day, and the customer knows exactly what they like. Which is the hard part, and the whole job.

Tag the person who still orders a cappuccino with chocolate on top. 👇

Twenty years around commercial machines, and this is what’s on the benches at home. 🏠☕️

Same Barista Express a lot of you have. Out of the box: filter baskets, the water filter that actually matters, descaler, a cleaning disc, a steam tip, and a distribution tool that isn’t the best tamp but does the job.

Got the same one? Save this, Thursday is for you. 👀

Ten years, one tree, about fifty grams of coffee, and a room full of people who taste coffee for a living.

Pete's own assessment: not going to flood the market any time soon.

So, would you buy a bag of Bathurst coffee? Trick question. There isn't a bag. There's fifty grams and a very honest team. 😁

23/10/2026

Not a small roastery, and that’s the point.

Big enough to have people whose entire job is roast profiles and cupping, including cupping before approving coffee contracts. And the call on whether a coffee goes in the blend is still made by the people who taste it.

That’s the bit that matters.

It starts with the beans and ends with the showing off 🖼️

22/10/2026

First roast was disappointing. Pete says so himself. 😥

Ten years of growing, three processing methods, and the first batch through the little sample roaster came out dark on the outside. The beans he'd been practising on were a well-grown Colombian. This is low-altitude coffee off a potted tree, and the density caught Pete out.

Second roast was better. Third was better again, even at ten or twelve grams. 🙌

Could be an appalling cup. Could be really interesting. He's on the optimistic side.

The tasting is next. Are you optimistic like Pete?

18/10/2026

Three methods, one tree, and no idea yet which one works.

👉 Natural: the whole cherry left to dry down like a sultana.
👉 Washed: skin off, 24 hours in water to ferment, down to the parchment.
👉 Honey: skin off but the sticky mucilage left on, which should push a little sweetness into the bean.

Ten years to get a crop worth processing, and Pete's split it three ways rather than bet the lot on one.

The Roast on Thursday. What is your pick for a tasting?
