Best mail delivery times for coffee


Recently some customers have given some honest comment on the inconsistency of delivery times so I'd thought I'd give some feedback. In the past we used to give end of Tuesday as the cut-off time for next day or day after arrival of your order. As I've got a little slack in my old age I've neglected to explain that any orders after Tuesday end bring us closer to the weekend which may hold up an order and also require newly roasted coffee to fill the order. If prompt and consitent delivery is important to you could I suggest you try and place your order on a Monday or before Tuesday end. Naturally we will always endevour to get mid and late week orders out as quickly as possible but the odds will be greater of the time stretching out.

Cocoa and chocolate - the real thing



The weathers gone cold which means hot chocolate sales will start to the rise. We carry three different cocoas - Brazil, Ivory Coast and French which are mixed with pure icing sugar to make drinking chocolate. If you've never compared drinking chocolate from the supermarket you'll be amazed by the difference. We supply in 400g and 2kg bags and you can use for chocolate in the cup or to make magnicent chocolate sauce by simply adding hot water to your consistancy and stiring. Beware you will want to eat straight from the cup!

Water quality and coffee machines

As I service machines for customers I'm noticing the quality of water declining. Probably as a result of the drought and increased chemical load in the water supply. Particularly in the older inner areas of Melbourne I'm seeing copper stain in water tanks. My recommendation is to buy a Brita filter jug and filter your tap water. They cost approx $25 for jug and $12 for filter. If the investment keeps your machine free of nasties it can only save you money over time.

Find the man between the coffee beans.




Doctors have concluded that if you find the man in 3 seconds that your right half of your brain is better developed than most people. If you find the man between 3 seconds and one minute, then your right half of the brain is developed normally. If you find the man between one minute and 3 minutes, then the right half of your brain is functioning slowly and you need to eat more protein. If you have not found the man after 3 minutes your right half of your brain is a mess, and the only advice is to look more for these types of exercises to make that part of the brainstronger. The man really is there.

In fact, once you find him, you cannot miss him afterwards!
