Dead Man staff coffee tour. Need to do more of these. Blessed with lots of choices to cup coffee around in Melbourne. First stop Seven Seeds. The Brazil Ambiental stood out, really noticeable hazelnuts. The Kenya (whatever it was ) was delicious as well. There was also a surprise blend from another roaster on the table which tasted like, smelly socks and old tyres. Reminded me of when I did work experience as a mechanic back in high school. It really highlights the quality of what Seven Seeds does and the act of 'coffee washing' that some people can do in the name of specialty coffee. Was so surprised that a blend could taste so bad! Shameful. 

Next stop Coffee Supreme to get a rundown on the Slayer by Justin. I highly recommend anyone on the market for a coffee machine to go have a chat to Justin about the Slayer, I'm sure you'll walk away impressed with the level of knowledge he & his crew have on coffee machines and the commitment to the servicing & maintenance side of the Slayer. 
Final stop at Proud Mary for a pour over of Panama Don Pachi Geisha - Natural Process. Wow, Fruity as. Strawberries & a whole lot more! Y'all gotta get down and try that one. Also a syphon filter of Rwanda Abakundakawa COE #13. Sweet & caramelly. Some more espresso of I can't remember what and we all finished, Kelly, Pip & Toby No. 1 & myself with some mighty tasty lamb sandwiches.
