Bay Beans is proud to announce that we have obtained distribution rights for Gaggia and Saeco espresso machines - thats pretty exciting news! In the comming weeks and months, I will add a few machines to the store and will build on that by offering you barista and coffee accessories like coffee tamps, knock boxes etc - pretty much what i use at home myself. 

25 years ago, Saeco, Italy’s leading espresso machine maker, invented the first fully automated espresso coffee machine, making it possible for coffee lovers to enjoy an indulgent Italian espresso in the comfort of home with the simple push of a button for the first time ever.  Fast forward to 2010, and the market is flooded with home coffee machines – but Saeco remains the original and the best because of its coffee expertise and development of innovative technology. Carrying forward a commitment to offer the very best in taste, design and performance – and celebrating 25 years since the first fully automated espresso machine was introduced to the market – Saeco is launching the next generation of coffee makers that go further than ever before, making enjoying coffee at home a deeply pleasurable experience every time.

Each month, I release a special bean specifically for our Premium Reserve bag. July's Premium Reserve is El Salvador - Finca La Fany.  Dark chocolaty cup with champagne acidity. Its on limited supply, so be quick if you want to taste this fantastic bean. 

This month I purchased a new stainless steel Coffee Tamp, for compacting my ground coffee in the espresso machine porta-filter basket. If you use an espresso machine, you would have received a basic tamp with your coffee machine - let me tell you this simple upgrade is a MASSIVE improvement, and it feels so great to use. Its very difficult to appreciate the difference if you haven't tried it. You can pay upwards of $150 for a coffee tamp of good quality, I bought mine for $50 - its stainless steel, very weighty, and feels perfect - I feel like  a real home barista now! If you would like one yourself, this is what I bought. For your chance to win one of these tamps for yourself, just send me your details

Bay Beans now delivers express by Courier. If you prefer to have your coffee delivered by Australia Post, just let me know. You may live on a farm, or only have access to a PO Box - where a courier may not be able to deliver to.
