Hey Big Meow, if you're into quality coffee then we also would love to meet you. Pop into Epic Espresso in Outram Street, West Perth. We love coffee fanatics to drop in and taste and chat coffee. Cheers mate, Corey

aah, i must confess. i don't drink coffee... although i have been known to eat chocolate coated coffee beans LOL i was thinking today that maybe i should try and convert myself, but i am not confident enough in my own skills ;D however, i love making coffee. the smell of freshly ground beand is absolutely DELICIOUS, and i have yet to find a job that is as satisfying - the look on a persons face when you;ve made a good one. WOW to say the least. anyways, will do as suggested above. cheers

Hey Big Meow, This thread was just recently brought to my attention - firstly, an apology if there was any delay in reply to your request for information: I can't find any emails that I haven't answered recently so hopefully you've recieved a reply but in any case, feel free to call me anytime on 0439 511 881. Certainly a visit to Epic in west Perth is a great experience - the guys there are fanatics about all the minutae of espresso preparation and their ristrettos are some of the best in the country. Also, check out the new cafe in the CBD: Velvet Espresso on King Street - they're doing a great job as well. Again, apologies for my lack of response - feel free to call me and maybe drop through for a chat and a coffee at the Barista Academy. Cheers, Ben Bicknell ____________ Manager Head Trainer W.A.
