NEW ROASTERY OPENING IN A FEW WEEKS !!!!

Yep, after constant bombardment by the public we are finally moving back into the city with our roastery.  Grin

The new site is an open warehouse and it is certainly beautiful.
Our gorgeous cast iron double wall drum roaster ( tweaked by Carlos)  from Portugal will be on display.
Our new SLAYER is on it's way from Seattle and will arrive in a few days.
We will have a SYNESSO operating as well. We will have the obligatory brewing, and Syphon choices too !
Our extremely passionate team is very excited to be a part of it all, as they will be able to delve into all areas coffee whereas a lot of the team did not have the time to earlier as we have been so busy getting the other OOMPH shops set up.
Oh and by the way to answer a couple of questions:
How are the Oomph! Shops going?
Liverpool st is still smashing out approx. 150 kilos per week solid.
Maquarie is pumping, and Alex is on house there, with Ben assist. ( he is extremely passionate and is on a steep learning curve and loving it)
Barrack st is setting new records every week, and Candy ( barista ) is doing a superb job on her 2 gp LM. She is one of the most consistent baristi in Hobart and I regularly drop in to have coffee there.
The Oomph! baristas are certainly impressive. Our blends in each shop change every week, and sometimes several times in a day. On Single Origin weeks the guys are not only getting hammered but are also changing coffees up to three times per day, as well as managing house blends. Consistency is something we are proud to say we are not. We change all the time ! The success of Oomph! is due to this amazing team to whom I am truly thankful. Every time I walk in I am hit with a wall of questions on the roast profile, the age, the blend makeup, cupping notes, etc etc. The enthusiams is fantastic. And that is on top of doing hard out ten hour shifts.
These are some of the hardest working, diligent, and consistently excellent baristas in the country, considering their workload, and the constantly changing coffees presented to them on a regular basis.  God Bless them.

Now, the roastery:
We are going to be featuring Sat. Morning cupping sessions.
The roasting team will have a full database of cupping notes on each Single Origin and we will be giving classes on cupping, and palate calibration.
A discussion on findings will take place afterwards and comparisons with roast team notes and those of the attending vistor cuppers (you ) will be compared.
We will be using our standard SCAAA cupping forms, although Azz is looking at doing some adjustments.
Our results will be posted weekly on our new website for those who would like to know, and to give a tasting and buying guide.

The warehouse will feature a full kitchen and chef, and the roaster and beans will be open to public to see.  Certain secrets will be protected of course  Wink   blend percentages, ramp profiles etc.

We will be offering the occasional Cup Of Excellence Coffees and as we regularly buy from Cup of Excellence top ranking producing farms  those coffee will be available for sale.

There will be a minimum of  18 Single Origin coffees within reach at all times. Roasting will be taking place 4 days per week. You can down your *SLAYER* produced espresso Grin Smiley
( Did I mention that we have a SLAYER about to arrive !!! )  
while you are watching the just crackling beans being poured out into the cooling tray !
Daino will be joining the roasting team, and so we are definately in for some fun times.
Will, Sam, and Ben are very keen to roast and each of our top guys will be doing their time through the new warehouse.

So, here is to being delightfully inconsistent in what we offer. No, I hope we can thrill you each time you come in with something different as we have done for years in the Oomph! shops.
