Not To Be Missed...
Queensland
Barista Championship
The Queensland Barista Championship is being held in the Queens St Mall,
Brisbane tomorrow, Sunday 18th March.
The competition starts at
11:00am
The competition will be based on the World Barista Championship rules.
1) Baristas have 15 minutes to familiarize themselves with the espresso machine, set up their equipment, and adjust the grinder. Everything must be contained on the competition table.
2) When asked to proceed, the barista will start the timer and has 15 minutes to prepare and serve to the four sensory judges at the judging table: four espresso; four cappuccino; and four “signature” drinks. The order is at the discretion of the competitor.
The “signature” drink is any espresso-based non-alcoholic drink that you prepare during the competition. It is an opportunity to create a drink that has coffee flavours, and reflects the wider flavour combinations that are possible from espresso coffee. The barista will be asked to explain this drink to the judges.

Unfortunately Brother Espresso will not be represented this year, next year for sure.

QUT WIRELESS
Brother Espresso is pleased to announce that we have QUT Wireless signal strength so there is no longer any need to be tied to your desk.
ONE WEEK OLD TODAY
Well, Brother Epresso turned 1 week old today. What a first week it has been! The morning coffee trade is taking off and our lunch menu is growing by the day. Lunch is based around fresh ingredients which can either be mixed together to create an exciting salad or put inside a turkish pocket for a fantastic toasted sandwich option. If you haven't been down yet, or even if you have, come on down and say hi!

NOW OPEN ...
After many long months we opened our doors this morning! Brisbane finally has an espresso destination to rival anything found in Melbourne or Sydney. We all got put through our paces this morning when a building across the road had an evacuation and everyone decided it was a good excuse for a coffee. Come on down and check us out.
