Hi Brett and Coffee Forum community, Thanks for the welcome! And thanks KK and A. from admin for setting it all up, much appreciated. Apologies for the delay but I am now up and running and look forward to this new venture. I'm in my early 30's and have been in the coffee/cafe industry for a little over 8 years. The necessity for work whilst at uni was what started me on this little coffee journey. I think it is a great industry and community and look forward to getting to know you all. Cheers!

Welcome to the forum as both a sponsor and a member What part of Brisbane are you located, because if you are close I may pay you a visit KK

Hello to all, Okay, I am a naive late starter, in south east Qld that is going into the coffee business, because it is a passion and a longing. What I am hoping to find on this forum is a "Mentor" for my mobile business. I am aware of the pitfalls (well a lot of them) and the amount of hard work I am going to have to put in and although this is daunting, it is not too scary ???. The scary part is the actual start up and all the hoops I have to jump through(some of those hoops are flaming). :head: I am determined for this venture to work because I want it to.... so very much. Anyhoo, if there is some kind soul that will take pity on a poor, knowledge hungry, passionate, mature age entrepreneur, my (currently exploding) mind will be so very grateful. Just askin' ;D Cheers Dizzy :coffee2:

Hi DizzBean, welcome to the forum; it's been a little quiet over the Xmas/New Year period but there are plenty of people who can help answer various coffee questions, although am less certain about the number of members who have a mobile coffee business... anyway feel free to ask questions; am sure we'll be able to help with most things coffee-related!

Koffee_Kosmo · February 2017

I can probably help out in a roundabout way My extended family have run cafes and fast food for decades But that depends on your location because I am in Brisbane KK

I moved up from Melbourne a year ago after having run my own highly acclaimed cafes there for 12yrs (top 20 melbourne coffee destinations according to beanhunter and i was in the top 100 coffee destinations in The Age Good Cafe Guide for five years in a row! good luck with your venture and feel free to PM if I can be of any further assistance! best, Pat

DizzBean · February 2017

Thank you so much for the replies, I am happy to devour any advice that is thrown my way (buckets full are welcome). ;D I am situated half way between Brisbane and the Gold Coast so pretty close to you Koffee Kosmo. I am not familiar with forums as I rarely have much to say (except my worldly wisdom) so, lets just assume that I am completely clueless and tell me just how one would go about PM'ing someone here please. Otherwise post your infinite wisdom on here and I shall wait with baited breath (never really understood that analogy ::) ) Cheers DizzBean :coffee2:

Hi. I'm in Northern Tasmania near Launceston. Started four years ago with a Jura Ena One Touch (convenient, but weak). Have also had a Sunbeam 6910 which I eventually got to produce decent coffees by chucking the grinder that comes with it for a Breville SmartGrinder. Now a Breville Oracle. I roast in a Behmor 1600, getting very good results. Getting upgraditis and looking at good lever machines - up to the new fancy profiling machines. I really only make one or two coffees in a session (at most twice a day).

Brett H · April 2017

Welcome mate! Can you tell me... is coffee actually grown in Tasmania? You see there is a local business here in Brisbane advertising Tasmanian coffee. There no roast date but also no information about the provenance. I'm not interested In stale coffee but the assertion intrigues me. Welcome!

Koffee_Kosmo · April 2017

Welcome to the forum you Tassie Devil Last year I visited Tasmania and stopped into Burnie and Hobart KK

K_Bean_Coffee · April 2017

Welcome mate. I love Tassie - especially that overland track

If I can help cure that upgraditis get in touch. My K Bean Dream Machines website is right here: www.kbean.com.au The Profitec Pro 800 is amazing. Here's a YouTube link showing me pulling a Pro 800 shot:

Take a look

wfdTamar · April 2017

Jeez, isn't coffee a tropical crop? I think limited to northern Qld etc if at all in Aust. wouldn't it be? I wouldn't have thought there would be any way short of a lit & heated greenhouse to get it to grow in Tassie and that would be very expensive. That ad was probably just for Tassie roasted coffee. K Bean, been looking around your site. The Profitec 800 does look nice. Also seen that the (much more expensive - around $9000) ACS Vostok 1 group is coming soon (pre sales on some sites). Then I saw the ACS Vesuvius for under $4800 and it's interesting, but the Home Barista review didn't compare it well against the Profitec 700, but I suspect a bit of fiddling with the profiles may have changed that result.

Brett H · April 2017

Welcome mate! Agreed that as far south as norther NSW would be coffee friendly but I'm happy to be wrong. My big issue with the ACS machines is: insert Obi Wan: (he's more machine than espresso maker), but that's an argument for another thread.

Heya guys! Am new here, also post in another forum, but thought I'd join this one if you'll have me

. Recognise a few friendly faces here too :D Am 30 years old, live in Bannockburn, Victoria. Been coffee-ing for 8-10 years (honestly cannot remember haha...), have done a few years of barista work (chain and specialty coffee) in the past, love espresso but also filter brewing and roasting on my Behmor 1600. Much much more to learn for sure! Look forward to chatting with you all

About time I introduced myself [emoji6] recognise a few avatars and usernames; over there I'm Magic Matt (don't even order magics any more but kept the user name to annoy the grumpy old men of that forum [emoji48]). I'm a Taswegian living in Sydney via Melbourne and Canberra, mostly drink espresso at home with my ECM twins (Synchronika and V-Titan), but have been getting more into manual methods lately with Trinity One and pourover (have had an aeropress since forever).
