"One of my biggest focuses was to make it very simple, with the least amount of parts that can break or wear out. If they do, like the heating elements, the motor, the bearings, the fan, it will be stupid-simple to service and exchange. Anyone who knows how to use a screwdriver can change out the part."

A large lever sits atop a small stack of brewing equipment, and you use that lever to create the bars of pressure necessary to get espresso.

Coffee brimming with lemon myrtle cream. Matcha banked with strawberry-lychee foam. Cold brew with choc-orange froth thick enough to stuff a pillow. Every caffeinated drink I've ordered in Sydney recently has the appearance of a generously frosted cake. It's a trend you'll see or sip across Australia, from Toasted Carine's iced latte with maple cold foam in Perth to Le Bajo's chilled oolong tea with raspberry cream in Melbourne.
In a move that challenges both quality control and marketing norms in specialty coffee, Pennsylvania-based roaster Passenger Coffee is releasing a high-end coffee harvested 10 years ago. The company described this week's release of a Kenya Kiriani Peaberry from the 2016 harvest - frozen as green coffee at peak freshness - as "proof of concept" for its long-term green coffee freezing program.
Whether you prefer a classic flavor like caramel or want something a bit more unique like French toast, we tried to cover the gamut of flavors.
