I walked around for two hours yesterday. Had a chat to a few people but didn't sample any coffees. I got there at 1015am and it looked like people were still getting into the swing. I ogled the 1 group slayer and a few small commercial lever machines plus a small roaster or two. Had grand plans to go back today and take pics, sample wares etc but it wasn't to be as I'm stuck down on the belleraine peninsula with no transport 🙁 flying home to sydney tomorrow. I'll definitely head back for mice 2015. I think you do need a second day. The first was just an all out assault on the eyes! So much to see 🙂

KK, I can't seem to upload photos La San Marco had a hybrid 3 group (2 standard groups, 1 Leva) which is an interesting concept and La Nuova Era have a new single group Leva using a Rancillio group which looked not bad. http://www.lasanmarco.com.au/coffee-news/la-san-marco-duale/

New members need to post at least once to be able to upload photos Normally that post is an introduction post 😉 So for the members I will post it for you [attach=1] PS welcome to the Crema Forum KK

Sorry, hi my name is Tim, live in Daylesford, Sales rep for Custom Coffees in Bendigo and used to go under the name 'La San Marco Melbourne' but have moved onto greener pastures (after 9 years!!) and felt I needed a new identity as I enjoy this forum from a personal perspective. My interest in the 'Duale' is not because I used to work for them but more for the fact it's a bit different and I had heard talk of it before leaving. They also have a single group Leva on the way. I enjoyed MICE yesterday, got a great run down of the San Remo Opera. That is a serious piece of machinery and I'll be interested if the high end machine consumers will give it a go. Attached is the La Nouva Era Leva and the Duale

Thanks for posting all! I haven't yet seen a machine that I'd trade my Diadema for so keep trying 😉

I'll be walking around this afternoon, but I need to find my spare camera first!

Something tells me CC could be returning with a very expensive new toy.

Hmmm, he might have to host the next gathering :thumb:

Hhhmmmm Might be the next sunshine coast host, you say. Might be some speculation of the silver streak getting an upgrade? Might be some speculation that CC were seen putting some serious time in at the slayer stands? Did they talk about custom paint, or timber sides? hmmmm, love speculation.

Darn you... Now I've got drool all over my ipad! Who knew that something called the ipad isn't absorbent.

Just another couple of Slayer machines. [attach=1] [attach=2] and this custom timber one was amazing in the flesh [attach=3] After playing on the black green one for a couple of hours now, and talking to a few shops here in Melbourne running them, then hearing the passion coming from Jason Prefontaine (one of the brains behind the machine) I can say we are honestly impressed by the control and tailoring I was able to achieve and the quality of shots I was pulling into the cup. One more day at Mice tomorrow to watch some more competitions, having a ball and will definitely need to detox when we get home. OH how about an 8 group Expobar

cosmic_couple22

Brett I understand, I have worn a hipster scarf all week to soak up the drool from all the bling on show.

Brett_H

I'd love to buy the 8 group, install it at home then post pictures with a complaint on coffeesnobs that I dont think it's consistent enough for my two lattes a day. They'd freak out... >😃

Well a very successful MICE, big crowds over the public days and lots of support and appreciation for all those competing. Stacks of great deals from most of the exhibitors and they were still showing enthusiasm even on day 4. Couple of things we bought Bonavita variable temp goose neck kettle, cheaper than wholesale, perfect for our pour over. A few really cheap rattleware jugs. :thumb:
