So I am a week in with the daily driver TCA on my bench and it’s been an interesting journey. Here are some initial rough and dirty thoughts on the experience so far. Pros: Cons: Pro or Con? In summary: What do you think? To be continued…..

Machines: 2023 was a year when not much happened. Not too many new releases and it really was a case of “Little to see here…” We’ll keep it brief this year, but as always, if you have something in mind, just call for a chat. We call them as we see them and with 100%

We’re really sad to advise that we have had to reconsider free post on your coffee and cocoa orders. With recent changes to Australia post pricing which occur every 6 months, we have reached a point where the postage component on coffee orders can exceed 25% of purchase price for lots of orders and something

We get asked this question all of the time and it’s why it’s great to have a chat before you purchase your kit. The thing about real espresso equipment over department store appliances is that you can pretty much guarantee that the coffee will be way, way superior. Another bonus is that if you care

TC has an unwritten rule that on any holiday involving a road trip, an espresso machine and grinder must accompany the bags, food and wine. The usual go to kit is Olympia Express manufactured in the form of a Cremina and Moca SD grinder, but this time we decided to mix it up a little

Pre Christmas post is now limited to subsidised express post only- to maximise your chances of receiving your order in time.  Smaller items: Australia Post/Sendle. We offer Sendle ($200 maximum included insurance) or Australia Post ($100 insurance included) Additional insurance is via prior arrangement and at extra cost.

Times have been tough all around the world. Many lives have never experienced war or depression, but 2020 and 2021 have impacted on all of us, no matter where we live or what we do. The coffee industry is equally doing it tough. The $5 cup of coffee? Why? A huge variety of factors influence
