24.01.2022 Coffee is 99% water; the importance of it’s mineral content and how it interacts with your coffee can not be understated! Take your brew game to the next level with one of our Brew Water Mineral kits! Every kit sold comes with expert advice and guidance from Dr Monika Fekete.... Check them out through the link in our bio!

22.01.2022 Due to the incredible feedback from our previous post we are happy to announce our first ever online Water Workshop! This workshop will cover a wide range of topics including some specifics about brew water design and discovering how different minerals will effect the taste of your coffee! The workshop will run on Wednesday the 20th of May (3:00pm - 5:00pm AEST).... Follow the link in our bio to secure your spot; spaces are limited so make sure you get in quick! If for whatever reason you are unable to attend the time/date we have organised contact [email protected] and we will try our best to accomodate.

22.01.2022 As the popularity of Cold Coffee continues to rise around the world many speciality roasters are looking for the edge in the cold coffee market! We recently caught up with Nolan of @proudmarycoffee and discussed their switch from traditional cold brew methods to the newer ‘Snapchill’ or ‘Flashbrewed’ methods for their Nitro systems. The main benefit of this switch being a more delicate and complex brew that arises from brewing the coffee hot and cooling it down quite rapidly...; compared to traditional cold brew which has significantly less acidity and bitterness. Will Snapchill (Or Flashbrew) methods become the norm? Or will this be a passing fad with traditional methods reigning supreme? Let us know in the comments below!

19.01.2022 Activated Charcoal has a multitude of uses; it can be used to remove phenolic contaminants from waste water, it’s also used in the Swiss Water method for decaffeinating coffee but what else could it be used for? In this most recent article from Dr Monika Fekete she explores the potential for it to be used to remove bitterness from coffee. Check it out through the link in our bio or in the June edition of @beanscenemag

15.01.2022 Meet the incredible @sophie__sson ! Sophie starting working with us back in April after attending a couple of Monika’s workshops and even volunteering as a test subject for an experiment .

Massive thanks to @onacoffee and @devin_loong for the coffee used in this experiment as well as @aislinn.cullen for all your help and advice with the acids kit!

04.01.2022 ‘Science and research are more important than ever in keeping our industry sustainable’ A very interesting read by the Global Coffee Report touching on the ongoing partnership between the Simonelli Group and the Coffee Science Foundation. ‘We believe this foundation will benefit the wider community and unlock the answers to many unanswered questions in the scientific evolution of our industry’ says Lauro Fioretti, Simonelli Group Project Manager (pictured)....
