Hey that's pretty funny OE - $5.00 for a Vittoria apron! Do they allow the bids to go backwards? A 😉

Hi guys - the re-launch of the Hilton was a big thing in Sydney today... the only thing is the coffee they're using is supplied by a small boutique roaster called 'Single Origin'. Can't imagine the 'big V' will be happy about that - they no longer have a monopoly on the coffee used 'in the top restaurants'. Wonder how long it will take V. to buy single origin! lars :-/

Yeah I saw the article in the SMH that mentioned the Hilton account. Did you also notice they mentioned roasting between 750 and 1000kgs a week! Was that a typo? FC if you're reading this, do you think it was meant to read per month not per week? On a 15kg roaster that averages out to be nearly 62 roasts a week at full capacity... and they only open Monday to Friday. 12 roasts a day. that sounds like a fairly intense workload, but I'm not in a position to judge. Just thinking out loud as usual 🙂 -Stephen-

That roasting capacity is viable. In previous positions i have held, we roasted 1800Kg /day on a 90 Kilo roaster, thats 20-24 roasts a day, 5 days a week.
