GREAT TURNOUT FOR SYPHON DEMO

Syphon Master
The Syphon filter had it’s ‘night of nights’ last night with the
2006 Japanese Syphon Champion, Mieko, putting on a world
class display of vac-pot brew style.
There were attendees from Melbournes fine establishments as well
as our neighbours to the north, Sydney.
The night kicked off with mingling over Mieko’s syphon brewed
Kenyan French Mission and Cup of Excellence El Salvador.
Parties were introduced and with the help of Mori (Japanese Interpretter)
Mieko wowed us with her smoothly tuned Syphon brewing skills. Like an
experienced barista working the Synesso she looked one with her tri-Syphon
setup.
Questions were fired from the crowd and related back via the interpretter.
Coffee industry folk who attended left with a greater understanding of a brewing
style that makes up 30- 40% of the coffee drank in Japan.
Hopefully, with a little time and good work us in Oz can put out some quality Syphon brews.
Big thankyous go out to Mieko, Toshi Ishiwata, Salvatore Malatesta, Luke Mutton and the few
who brought along some divine coffees to sample. Namely Brother Buba Budan, Ristretto from Perth, Auction Rooms and The Source from Sydney.
Stay tuned for some pics of the night and a detailed Syphon how-to analyses.
