I think we may have created a love affair. If you have ideas for a name, drop Alex at Biagio's a message ☺️
DON’T MIND ME ☕️
As you know, our coffee machine got an upgrade today as we welcomed our new retro piece of equipment to the Biagio’s family.
I was like a kid at Christmas this morning, but if I’m honest, a little nervous too.
My old machine and I understood each other. I’ve lovingly made coffees on that wonderful machine for almost 4 years, but I’ve always dreamed of a traditional lever machine, so when the opportunity arose, I jumped at the chance.
But upon install this morning, I found myself getting nervous, feeling disloyal to my old machine, apprehensive about whether it would live up to expectations and ultimately, make for an EVEN BETTER coffee experience for you guys.
Before we opened, I poured my first espresso…delicious!
Then another…delicious…
Then another, just to be sure…absolutely deeeeelicious!
Beautiful velvety crema, testament to our wonderful quality locally roasted Biagio’s coffee beans, but definitely made from the power of a machine that gives me the control over the pre-infusion and pressure curve of my shot.
Something other machines just don’t offer.
What I didn’t expect was a queue before we’d turned the sign to ‘open’ and jam packed coffee shop allllll day long, with no time to ease myself or my new machine into our new relationship.
So we were definitely put through our paces and it was the best way to trail run the first day with well over one hundred espresso shots being pulled…each one as perfect as the next (apart from the one that ended up on the floor and all over me during my ‘I’m adapting’ period 🫣)
Honestly, best espresso pull day of my life, so don’t mind me just polishing my new baby as we get ready to do it all again tomorrow.
See you tomorrow for an extra velvety, extra lovingly made and extra delicious Biagio’s coffee…
We’re open 10.30am - 3pm Thursday & Friday and then closed on Saturday this week.
Lots of love, from me and my new shiny machine, WHAT SHALL WE NAME HER? 🫶🏻 ☕️
