See ya on the 29th of June

l Hate Shopping ...
Especially when your shopping list looks something like this:
Not necessarily “retro”, but the old, well loved, shabby feel etc. Yes l have been checking out places for items to furnish Brother Espresso. Tables, chairs, lamps, a couch and the list goes on.

Tasting Tasting Tasting Tasting
Friday we spent the day with our roaster, it was a fantastic opportunity to work with him to develop our blends. The blends will be a combination of different regions and roast profiles (something for everyone). We may not have a roaster in-house but having this kind of access we might as well have.

Barista Position
Brother Espresso is currently in the process of establishing a specialty espresso bar in Brisbane.
We are currently looking for a motivated barista experienced in espresso prep etc. The position will include flexible hours and above award wage. The right person will be actively involved and have input into the setup of the business.
It would not be an immediate start but things are happening quite fast. We believe the location we are in the process of securing has real potential and our vision for the business is very exciting.
