Overview

This post is sponsored by our partners, the Aroma Festival.

For six days, Adore Estate’s nomadic coffee lab will call Playfair Street home as part of the Aroma Festival. Made out of two shipping containers, it’s an experimental cafe, where you can sample up to five different blends, watch a host of brewing methods in action, check out expert baristas working their magic and purchase specialty tools of the trade that you can test out at home. Over the past year or so, the lab has been popping up at all kinds of major food events, including the Sydney and Brisbane Fine Food Shows, the Melbourne International Coffee Expo and the Royal Easter Show.

Adore Estate Coffee, even more ubiquitous, has been adding some rather hefty accolades to its awards swag, including Silver at the Sydney Royal Fine Food Show in both 2014 and 2013. The team has been working hard at developing and perfecting the label’s five signature coffees: Pure Organic, a single origin from northern Peru; Mastro, a distinctive sweet, smooth blend that brings together Africa, Asia and the Americas; Jackson, a rich, chocolatey special; Florito, an intense blend of hill-cultivated beans from Guatemala and Costa Rica; and Jackson 5, a full-bodied, balanced number.

Try them all in one fell swoop from July 21-27. Opening hours will be 11am-2pm Monday-Friday, 10am-4pm Saturday and 10am-5pm Sunday.
