What makes a good coffee? A good coffee is one that is smooth, not bitter nor weak. A good coffee is one which is satisfying, indulgent and a conversation facilitator. A good coffee gets me up on a Monday to fight off those work demons.
But what makes a GREAT coffee? Well, that comes down to passion. The passion of a Barista is easily measured in their ability to consistently deliver the perfect cup of coffee. So what determines the perfect cup of coffee? The extraction. Extraction involves forcing around 30mls of hot water, under pressure through well packed, finely ground coffee, if you want to get technical. To be able to do this successfully, one must have the passion and skill, and no doubt, patience to do so. One such Barista is Andrew Harrington from Twenty Eight Espresso in Northbridge.
Listening to Andrew talk about coffee and watching his face light up everytime he mentions the word 'coffee' is a sign of his true dedication. This is a place where not only one coffee will do. You will definitely need at least 2 or maybe 3...
Andrew's choice of bean is Campos and his focus, extraction. This is definitely the best coffee on he Lower North Shore. Forget Mosman and Neutral Bay, Twenty Eight Espresso sends these guys to the grinders (forgive the pun)!
Why not try a ristretto? It is absolutely wonderful, but completely satisfying when followed up by a piccolo latte. The menu, while not extensive, is fresh, light and quick. Twenty Eight's variety include a range of healthy sandwiches & wraps, toasted banana bread, muffins & friands.
