Brick-laying? Bar-tending? Baboon-impersonation?

But congrats! Yet another reason I need to get down to Taupo again at some point.

Yes, we're definitely pretty picky about our coffee... I travel across town just for a good coffee :D

I've never thought of using a emulsifier in coffee... cunning!
Ever heard of adding some salt to coffee... it blocks ion chanels in the 'bitter' receptors in the tongue.. I use a tiny pinch when using the french press at home, it allows me a longer brewing time (and a ritcher more complex flavour) without getting the excessive bitterness of a over-extraction IMHO.

.... and that photographer is a 'professional', I could take a better photo on my compact.

First off, let me congradulate you on your win. I'm very sure it was well deserved.

Secondly, you look quite handsome. Shame about the bad flash exposure. :)

Thirdly, I would love to try that drink. I'm not much of a coffee drinker, but hell, it sounds very tasty. Shame I can't come over there and help myself to it. :(
