I'm new here...

Springbok

Hi All, Wondered where most of you had gone..hope it wasnt something I said :o Well - in short - I am an African - born in Zambia and spent a long time in South Africa - migrated here with my family in 1999. Im an Electrical Engineer and am at present on the new Tunnel team in Brisbane. I developed a love for coffee and started slowly with some frustration at the mystery of coffee until I read an article on a Copffee ceremony in Ethiopia - started roasting my own beans in a pan, a neighbour gave me a Popcorn machine which I modified over several years - am now the owner of a Hottop and while I am pleased I still remember the excitement of popper roasting.. I prefer stove top espresso and ama sucker for new ways to brew coffee. All for now, Regards,

Next gathering I'll need to organise some of my homemade jerky or biltong so we can compete on flavour 🙂 - AM can be judge 😃 This thread needs to be renamed to "weird s*** we enjoy".

The Brisbane Meats.. sorry Meets are the best - please lets continue them I missed the last one with having to go to Goro on a breakdown.. The biltongs still good - its all I need from the old country. Glad and privileged to be a new Australian - and "Girt by sea"

Ditto! This forum has a really nice feel and I'm looking forward to your posts. Incidentally my mate who runs Underground Opera operates one of those big borers in your Tunnel. I've seen the way he navigates and drives so AM better keep half an eye on that deck he's mentioned!

I live in Adelaide, its a overgrown country town and a bit backwards. More good coffee shops would good but i reckon over the next few years there will be. Lets hope-so. Current fav drink - ristretto. Hi all.

Welcome to Crema AC, the friendly forum 😉 Your right Adelaide is a lot less frantic than Melb or Sydney, a good thing as far as I'm concerned, Adelaide is a delight to navigate. ;D

Hi and a warm welcome to you AdelCoffee Thats how I still see Brisbane as a huge country town KK

Welcome along 🙂 Adelaide has come a long way from closing down at 12 on a Saturday but still a long way to go. The coffee scene these days at least has a few good people getting in and making some noise and putting up some better coffees than it used to have a couple of years ago. At least for you guys you can jump a plane and be in Melbourne quicker than I can if you need a good coffee fix >😃

Hi AM, I have a dozen bags of Andy's beans and a Behmor that gets put on the bench every Saturday so I guess I can now boast that it's real coffee. Reg process a bit interesting (read long- really no biggie though) but hey, as forum owners we do what we have to do... TC Marc

Since when have we become a dating site ;D "...walks on the beach..." You do realise that this is the most written sentence in dating profiles the world over don't you 😛 Welcome anyway 😉
