[quote author=mwcalder link=topic=5569.msg47740#msg47740 date= Also, the area is quite 'bogan' [/quote] You can say that again. Noosa and surrounds has never been worse. It's morphing into Mooloolabah very quickly and will be a bad as the goldy in 3 years.

Hows the Cuban this year?

I think it's delicious through milk and alright black. A little too smokey for me but you can really get those malt sugar notes in the background. You can ask Chester as well!

Like all good Cubans, smooth with that lingering dirty ashtray taste :rofl: Coffee bar is looking good, Chester

I still have bad memories of a Cuban turquino I tried a few years back. Predominantly drying tobacco flavour - not really what I like in a coffee. Maybe they dried the beans on tobacco leaf 😉

Day something! Everybody is getting the hang of things now. Our barista's are working out ways of working with each other and we have done pretty well I think, considering we haven't got any food yet. We now have regulars who are in most days and word and when we get a food licence then I'm sure we will be pumping. Business has been pretty steady which is great. I think I have fairly got the knack of these Super Jolly grinders. Tiniest of tiny adjustments required and I've got my technique dialled in to give me 22g 80% of the time without the scales which is good to do in a rush. Going on holidays on Wednesday so not perfect timing but boy, all these 5am starts are getting to me! Just put on another barista to cover me ad then reduce the length of everyones shifts when I get back. All in all, pretty chuffed with how Zab

Just a quick update: food changes everything. Ever since we have gotten our food in, business has sky rocketed. People just want a coffee with something else! Getting a large takeaway trade with all the workers in the area and dine-ins with people having meetings and such. All the customers are loving the coffee and I'm loving the coffee that we are serving as well.

That's fantastic mate. Who'd have thought that the secret to a good coffee shop was good coffee 😉 Faith in the universe restored!

Great food, coffee, service and atmosphere are formulaes together with thorough market research for success for any aspiring wannabe cafe owners. Well done Michael. Keep it going.[emoji2]
