Join us at 2pm on Friday at @melbournecoffeeexpo (stand #220) as Sarah Palmer from @synessofactory demos the new Synesso S200 espresso machine! Having pioneered reliable, highly temperature stable espresso machines for many years out of their Seattle based workshop, the release of the S200 is an exciting new addition for the team at Synesso. Utilising their tried and true multi-boiler technology, the S200 offers up a great entry level option, making excellent coffee even more approachable. #MICE2018 #SynessoS200 #newproduct

5 Senses tasting flight at MICE 2018 ☕, whoever thought of this idea in genius. It was a winner last year and they killed it again this year, @5sensescoffee 🙌. My favourite coffee were the Colombia La Esperanza (natural) juicy & sweet.. and the Colombia Leonid Ramirez (black honey) because I like a bit of funk in my life 🕺. . .

Liquid gold 💖☕ Honestly still reeling from an overwhelming experience in MICE 2018. I loved seeing all the gorgeous espresso machines too 💖 the people at @5sensescoffee were really welcoming and they even let me have a peek behind the bar. Just being in that environment where everyone is just really passionate and enthusiastic about coffee lets me realize I still have a lot to learn. One thing I do regret is that I didn’t get there early enough to be really able to explore…and that I felt like a shy potato pretty much. Maybe I should go back next year?
