The Fracino Cherub is one of the best kept secrets when it comes to heat exchange coffee machines available on the Australian market.
At just over $2000, this machine has a class leading capacity of a 2.3 litre boiler and 2400W element. Finally we have a high-end domestic / small office coffee machines with a high capacity, fast recovery boiler. One current user of the machine in Brisbane, uses it for their hair salon and will routinely make a few coffees and a couple cups of tea and still maintain stable temperatures and pressures (most similar machines would leave you waiting a minute or two).
Being a UK built machine, I must confess that it first it was a bit of an unknown and I was a little skeptical. However, having used the machine for a while, testing it out at a few smaller events (10-20 people) and hearing feedback from other users, I am convinced that the Fracino Cherub offers a very competitive option for those considering getting their first heat exchange coffee machine and wanting to maximise their value for money.

How best to store coffee
For those who love coffee, have purchased a machine for at home and enjoy good fresh coffee, there is nothing more frustrating that having it all ruined by coffee beans that aren’t at their best. Yet when it comes to storing coffee beans, good info can be hard to find… so after some research and testing, here is some of the best tips on how to store your coffee.
Coffee - Blends vs Single Origin
Coffee Blend or Single Origin:
Coffees are supplied either as a single origin (coffee from one specific area, e.g. Sumatra) or as a blend. As each coffee has its own individual attributes, coffee is most commonly consumed as a blend so that various attributes can be combined to give a more ‘complete’ and balanced flavour.
