STUFF ON THE SCENE
Stuff on the scene PUQPRESS Tamping is an important part of a barista’s craft, but doing it by hand hundreds of times a day allows inconsistency to creep in, let alone potential damage to your shoulders and wrists. The unparalleled engineering and state-of-the-art design of the Puqpress automatic tamper ensures perfectly compressed coffee grounds and a precisely level tamp – every time – while saving your body from those repetitive movements that eventually take a toll. The Puqpress automatic tamper frees you from worrying about a less-than-perfect extraction, allowing you to focus on the next customer and the next coffee. With more than 50 per cent of Australian cafés now trusting Puqpress, for a limited time only, get your hands on a free Q1 Puqpress with every Perfect Moose ordered. Because perfect milk deserves a perfect tamp. For more information, visit www.baristatechnology.com.au
DANDELION BLEND & DRIFTWOOD BLEND Dandelion & Driftwood is all about extending your palate experience and finding coffee that vibrates at your level. D&D offers two very distinct house blends representing the Yin & Yang of the business. Dandelion Blend in the cup displays delicate stone fruit flavours of mariposa plums and cherries that mellow and temper out with a residual sweetness. It showcases a medium body base and has refined yet nippy acidity. It is beautifully balanced and memorable. Driftwood Blend is deliciously viscous and displays heavy notes of molasses and cedar. In tasting, the cup reveals dark chocolate notes and a rich creaminess much like that of a ganache. With a hint of subtle apricots in the background, it is sure to delight. Enjoy at home or work.
