【Introduction】:Melbourne will again host next year’s International Coffee Expo - which will take place at the Melbourne Showground’s in March 2016 - My Destination takes a look back at Australia’s coffee history.
Unbeknown to many people, the lands down under have been producing the coffee crop for almost 200 years.Australian-grown coffee is renowned for its distinctive bold, sweet, chocolaty flavours. It tends to be low in caffeine and pesticide-free, with most plantations favouring organic growing conditions. The country is best known for its Arabica beans, due to the ideal climatic conditions and fertile soil common of the land. It all began in 1832 when a small plantation was created at Kangaroo Point in Brisbane. Yet the industry later suffered a financial nose-dive, and for some 60 years only a handful of coffee plantations survived.The invention of the mechanical harvester in the 1980s then saved the industry and brought it back into motion. The harvester, dubbed ‘Coffee Shuttle #1’, dramatically cut labour and production costs, thus allowing beans to fully ripen before being picked.The machine revolutionised the process, and marked the beginnings of today’s coffee industry
Today, Melbourne is famed for its vibrant café culture, with coffee shops lining every street corner. Its history began on Bourke Hill, and in the 1900s the city saw numerous roasting houses sprouting along its streets.Bourke Street is home to the famous Florentines restaurant, which houses Melbourne’s first espresso machine from 1901, as well as Pellegrini’s Bar - one of the first cafes to import a Gaggia machine in the 1950s.These new water-driven espresso machines made a more flavoursome brew, far less bitter than their predecessors. Gradually, people were lured away from the traditional tearooms, and an explosion of coffee shops sparked throughout the city, one that has been growing ever since.
The Melbourne International Coffee Expo (MICE) is a celebration of this success.In the western world, cafes have fast become the preferred meeting place for workers and friends alike, all choosing to converse over an espresso or a flat white. Returning in 2016 the Melbourne International coffee expo celebrates its fifth year and is well respected and non throughout the Asia Pacific region as there must go to a then for anyone involved in coffee. With a cafe owners, restaurantaurs, right through to distributors, manufacturers and not forgetting talented baristas, this is a calendar event not to be missed.
