What’s going on behind the scenes at Single Origin roasters warehouse?

April 21, 2010

Coffee! You can sleep when you’re dead! I can’t help but just crack myself up laughing when I saw this sign post at the Single Origin warehouse and I am sure there are a lot of caffeine addicts out there can relate to it. I love coffee, but probably not as much as The Pom. [...]

Sensory Lab – David Jones, Melbourne CBD

March 17, 2010

A science laboratory or a cafe? I am no coffee connoisseur, actually far from it. But I do love my coffee, and know what I like when I tasted a good one. However, brewing coffee using a Syphon filter device and Bunsen burner is all a little too complicated for me, best to leave this [...]

Creme Brulee Trio

January 7, 2009

One of Amélie Poulain‘s† favorite moments is cracking créme brulée with a teaspoon – I agree whole heartedly. A tiny pot of creme custard sealed with a shiny layer of golden brown toffee, and the little “crack” sound when you hit it with the back of the teaspoon, that little short moment always bring out [...]

Porridge, Coffee, and a rainy Saturday morning

September 6, 2008

Winter has passed and welcome the spring. Unfortunately there is no sunshine, no spring breeze, but instead of heavy down pour, and gustly wind for the last few days. I had a lie in this morning snuggle up with Amelie (my Cavalier King Charles), listening to the pouring rain outside probably one of the best [...]
