Roasting excellence rewarded

Australia

Anthony Papas is devoted to quality and flavor. Those attributes have led the business partner of coffee roaster Allpress to culinary glory, founding Sydney’s iconic Bayswater Brasserie, working as its executive chef as well as establishing a bakery of the same name that produces sourdough bread sought after across town.

Papas opened the Brasserie more than 25 years ago, long before Sydney had made itself a name on the global restaurant landscape. Cook books and a second restaurant in Sydney followed.

As Papas knows, quality and flavor don’t simply appear, they need to be understood, checked and improved. And he did just that working and learning in Michelin-starred kitchens in the Netherlands and the US.

First official energy test

Italy

Because climate change and energy costs are of concern to all of us, Dalla Corte has commissioned IMQ, The internationally renowned institute for product certification in the areas of quality and safety to conduct energy efficiency tests, which have already proven successful for many other electrical appliances, to develop a neutral test process.

"This test procedure ensures that from now on there is more transparency and comparability in the market," according to Dalla Corte. "Two-, three- and four-grouped machines from the Evolution Series were tested under different conditions, such as 24-hour operation, standby and so on. The results now firmly establish Dalla Corte as setting the industry standard for espresso machines."

Dalla Corte claims that it now provides the first true comparison for energy efficiency in the industry and challenges its competitors to come up with increasingly better more energy efficient products.
