The Groundd Xpress is a really unique designed coffee brewer / travel cup!

The reusable stainless steel filter is great for coffee, tea and pretty much anything else you want to brew.

The best thing about this is you don’t need to clean it straight away, brew it and then drink out of it like a travel cup!

No one needs that much coffee 😫

Have you noticed this? Just from trial and error, these Hario v60 filters leave these big gaps between the wall of the dripper and the filter.

An easy work around is to just pull the mountain fold of the paper coffee filter slightly to open up the filter a bit more at the top and you get a way better result!

The Timemore Basic 3 is here and there are actually quite a few changes from the Basic 2 👀

Smaller, lighter, more sensitive at the low end, electromagnetic shielding, a redesigned silicone mat and three dedicated modes for Regular, Pour Over and Espresso.

But is it worth upgrading from the Basic 2? And what actually changed?

We’ve broken down all the differences between the Timemore Basic 2 and Basic 3 in our latest article, including which one makes sense depending on how you brew. ☕️

And yes… we’ll be stocking the Basic 3 soon! 👀

Extract Chilling is another form of what we’re calling post coffee extraction enhancements, improving coffee after brewing.
It’s definitely had more attention recently with the explosion of extract chilling, post mineralising coffee and drinking from specialty coffee cups.

What’s your take on this? Does it just make you wait longer for your coffee? ☕️

1 in 8 Aussie Cafes Closed In A Year
The problem isn’t the coffee. We spoke to the founder trying to fix the part nobody looks at.

Most conversation in specialty coffee sits at the two ends of the chain. The farm, the varietal, the roast curve. Then the cup, the grinder, the water. The middle gets almost no attention and the middle is where small coffee businesses quietly bleed time and money.

Australian cafes and restaurants closed at a rate of 12.03% in the twelve months to July 2026, almost double the national average across all industries. One in eight venues trading a year ago are gone.

We sat down with Lukas Martin, founder of a new Australian tool called Cafe Care Package, and his read on it was blunt.

“I think hospo is in a strange place right now. Because most people are going cheap, we are in the middle of a mediocrity crisis.”
His argument is that the fees and admin stacked on wholesale ordering are quietly pushing roasters to buy cheaper green coffee, and you can taste the result.

So he built something that takes a flat fee instead of a percentage, puts orders straight into Xero as drafts, and takes zero commission from cafes.

We asked him about the platform fees, the cafes who refuse to change how they order, and what a roaster actually does with the time back in our latest article published online now.

Brewing with Kàpi Dripper 😏

Happy Monday 😭

As the weather warms up start making cold brew and cold drip coffee at home!
My favourite is flash cold brew but when I’m making cold drip the valve-less design of the Delter cold drip coffee maker is the way to go.

The container system holds equal amounts water so there’s no need to adjust the valve as the pressure changes over time!
