Members: 24
Latest Activity: Oct 3
Kiwis are an inventive and adventerous bunch. A small country of 4 million, perched on the edge of the Pacific Basin, we like to think of ourselves as contributing above our body weight. A NZ'er was the first to split the Atom (Rutherford), climb Everest (Hillary), win the Rugby World cup- and more recently invent flat-whites and the Pavalova.
Kiwis are also found in great abundance outside of their cosy, clean green natural habitat. There are around 30,000 in London alone, and they make up a good proportion of coffee professionals in small Australian cities such as Sydney and Melbourne.
This group is for Kiwis everywhere and anywhere to talk coffee and to network.

- Hi Alun; would be good to meet up with you in person when you're in Welly; I know there's something I would like from Indo', but what exactly I'm not sure - maybe something from Bandung that might reflect the time in which my Dad lived there (1921-1946)?? Any thoughts?

- Hey Eddie, will probably be after Christmas now. I blew almost all my $$ on Euro when I was there. Tragic. Hoping December will be good to us so we can head down tentatively end of January. Will be to Welly as thats where the olds are. Can pop over the hill for a day trip, maybe stay the night. Want anything from Bandung?

- Just got back from Trieste- looked at Lever machines in Southern italy. Now... can anyone give me any idea what is happening in NZ retail wise?? I have seen some cafe businesses for sale at prices that are crazy. These are businesses with solid revenue numbers....

Wow... Maybe a bit of a misunderstanding in terms of lingo?
I am looking for a "nice" used Diedrich Roaster. For those who have used the Diedrich IR series, how do you like them?
If you have one, PM me...

To some degree i believe what they are saying. They could have said it with a little more finesse though.
The idea is that you can roast to taste the bean, or roast to taste the roast. The route that every great roaster is taking is to just roast ...
I agree with Mike. The problem is that a huge portion of naturals are really bad. We are typically exposed to the ones that are super high quality. We also cannot leave out the huge portions of Brazilian coffees that are natural processed. I find ...

Hey Joel you are right. As mentioned a Dark and oily bean post roast- should have been achieved...by the foresaid roaster using a roast profile. Having read the article again, believe the author (who I know is a member of BX) is a barista. Agree, ...
