But mention Patricia Coffee Brewers and your barista’s eyes will take on a dreamy sheen. It’s the kind of place that every coffee pro dreams of opening.]]> http://www.corridorkitchen.com/2013/11/patricia-coffee-brewers-melbourne/feed/ 5 http://www.corridorkitchen.com/2013/02/cafe-review-naked-espresso-melbourne-cbd/ http://www.corridorkitchen.com/2013/02/cafe-review-naked-espresso-melbourne-cbd/#comments Fri, 22 Feb 2013 06:37:03 +0000 http://www.corridorkitchen.com/?p=5117 The last couple of times I was in the Melbourne CBD, I made a beeline for Naked Espresso, a cute and well known place on Little Bourke Street. These guys use naked portafilters for their espresso (hence their name) but they also tick the specialty coffee box with their selection of ‘new brew’ techniques such as aeropress and pourover. This place is a coffee nerd’s paradise; their blackboards list the day’s brews complete with tasting notes, and they sell enough different beans, gadgets and paraphernalia to keep the caffeine-obsessed happy for yonks. The coffee menu changes often, with appearances from the likes of Market Lane, Axil Coffee Roasters and even Naked’s own house blend. On my most recent visit, there were couple of Market lane single O’s on offer for syphon/pourover/aeropress, the house blend for espresso-based coffees and an Axil single origin as their guest coffee.]]> http://www.corridorkitchen.com/2013/02/cafe-review-naked-espresso-melbourne-cbd/feed/ 7 http://www.corridorkitchen.com/2012/04/the-black-coffee-pop-up-sydney/ http://www.corridorkitchen.com/2012/04/the-black-coffee-pop-up-sydney/#comments Thu, 19 Apr 2012 20:34:28 +0000 http://www.corridorkitchen.com/?p=3396 When I say coffee, I mean espresso. So it’s easy to forget that there’s more than one way to brew a bean. Luckily, the Black Coffee Pop-up is in Sydney this week showing off the ins and outs of non-espresso coffee methods, brewing pour-over, siphon and the aero-press coffees from 19-22 April at Outré Gallery in Surry Hills.]]> http://www.corridorkitchen.com/2012/04/the-black-coffee-pop-up-sydney/feed/ 8
