Sunday came and went in a blur … a great day, Sydney in full winter sunshine.
Two tents housed the two mistrals, a Clover and a cupping area, showcasing the Cup of Excellence winners from this year’s CoE selections and our siphon bar.
We were joined by our comrades from White Horse in Sutherland – Dom, Matt and Brian (thanks guys!), who worked with the Mecca crew serving up Beloya Selection 16 through the Clover and many a Dark Horse espresso. See you again next year!

Aroma Festival is an annual event held in The Rocks showcasing the best of coffee, chocolate, tea and spice. George St is blocked off and the area is taken over by merchants showing their wares. The Mecca crew will be participating in the Aroma Festival for the first time in 2009.

The Mecca stand will be located in First Fleet Park near the corner of George and Alfred St, Circular Quay. Like other stall holders we will be doing $2 coffees through our Espresso Machines and we will also be offering some wonderful coffees through our newly arrived Clover. Throughout the day we will also be holding cuppings, siphon demonstrations and other educational sessions.

Hope to see you there.

Our Clover has finally arrived. We are very excited to have yet another way of brewing and experiencing coffee.

Those familiar with the very limited edition Clover will know that it produces a fantastically clean extraction which really showcases the unique characteristics of a coffee.

We will be offering the Ethiopian Beloya, Kenya Gethumbwini Estate and the Rwanda Musasa this week and the new Honduras CoE at King Street soon.
