Double Espresso Please!: Chase the rider

Chase the rider

A quick stop on the way to a wedding shoot and so we slip by the Chase the Rider in Jindalee. The place is pumping for a tiny hole in the wall style cafe.
We wait for a reasonable amount of time and the service is also acceptable.
I'm am happy with my coffee all be it served in a 12oz cup. 30mls is a cup that size just seems a bit of a let down. But it was well made and had the desired affect.

Let's go shoot wedding guests! ;)

A bit about Stefan and coffee...

Stefan, and he loves a double espresso! See Doppio

Having had many years of coffee experience behind him he knows a good coffee from a bad one. As a Coffee sommelier he has worked with coffee in one way or another for over twenty years and has a strong passion for well made coffee.

Recently he is working as a Coffee Trainer, teaching domestic and commercial coffee skills. This training includes learning good habits to help you work cleanly, efficiently and to help maintain your machine.

Stefan has worked with many different coffee companies and cafes: including Gaggia coffee machines as a demonstrator, Jasper coffee (Melbourne), as a coffee sales specialist and Barista and more recently as a Customer Support and Training coordinator for Blue Sky Coffee.

Having had limited experience with roasting we can assume that the roaster has presented a good batch and the comments will be about the "coffee maker", for the most part.

There are a few things that a typical "Barista*" can do to ruin the hard work of the roaster and that yield an average coffee experience.

But if the cup is good, your going to hear high praise and we encourage you to go there and have your own experience of it and let us know if we where just there on a good day or if we can herald to the world...

"A great espresso lives here!"

*Barista is used very loosely here.
