I like
the idea of Suspended Coffee. People
have a chance to beware of the needs of others, those less advantaged than
us. People of various types, including homeless,
jobless, refugees, asylum seekers, torture claimants, elderly and living on the
limited allowance from the Centrelink (equivalent to the Comprehensive Social
Security Assistance in Hong Kong), receive no or limited government financial
support. To them, a coffee is
luxury. To extend our concern and love
to others, the concept of Suspended Coffee was born. You and I can pay for a coffee which will be
given free to a person in need.
At the
time when I searched for cafés in Sydney doing Suspended Coffee, this café
became one of my target ones to visit.
Although
being situated in a quiet suburb in Concord, this café is popular and busy in
both daytime and nighttime.
They
roast their own coffee so as for freshness and quality control. The design of the exhausting pipes is
interesting because the few roasters all join to the main pipe for central
processing and outlet. People who have
concept about roasting must know that the greatest issue of roasting is the processing
of the heavy smoke (almost looks like a house on fire! LOL). You must appreciate their design here. As the name implies, they are using a lot of
organic beans which organic advocates would support.
Coffee
quality is undoubtedly satisfactory.
Apart from coffee, food was outstanding.
I went there with two groups of friends, one for dinner and one for
breakfast. We were all satisfied with
the food (and the price!) They also do
stone grilled pizza and dessert.
I like
the decoration here, probably because of the old historic items. Historic things always tell you and I about
the wisdom of our ancestors and how lucky we are for the things we are having.
Well
done Espresso Organica, for the food, the coffee and the concern about those in
need in the community!
很喜歡”預付咖啡”這個意念,讓我們能夠意識到社會上一些比我們不幸的人士。社會上不同人因各種原因,得不到或得到僅足餬口的政府經濟援助,這些人包括:無家可歸者、失業者、難民、尋求庛護的人士、酷刑聲稱者、老人及得到有限度社會保障的人士。對於他們來說,一杯咖啡簡直是奢侈品。基於以上的原因,預付咖啡的槪念產生了,好使有需要的人得到關懷。我們所付的預付咖啡,將會到有需要的人的手中。
當我在搜尋悉尼咖啡店中,有哪些是提供預付咖啡服務時,我找上這一家。它雖於位處於一個寧靜的小區Concord,但實是當地很受歡迎的咖啡店,無論日與夜,你都可以見到顧客在內光顧。
他們自家烘焙豆子,確保新鮮與質控。烘豆機的排氣管是特別設計的,把數個烘焙機的排氣孔都連上,集中處理與排氣。假如你對烘焙有認識的,大槪會了解控制烘焙後產生的煙,往往是最難處理的(控制得不好,整個室內空間可以像是著了火樣的誇張!) 因此,你也許會欣賞他們排氣的設計。同時,跟咖啡店的名字相關,你或許能想像到,他們用上不少有機豆子,因此,有機支持者大槪會喜愛他們。
他們的咖啡水準不用置疑,除咖啡以外,食物的質素也相當超水準!
我跟兩班朋友到這兒光顧過,一次是晚餐,另一次是早餐。我們對他們的食物也感到相當滿意(價錢也相當合理)!他們亦同時自家製作石烘意式薄餅及甜品。
我喜愛這兒的裝潢,也許因為那些帶歷史的物件,它們往往告訴你我,前人的生活智慧,以為我們現今有多幸福,能享有這麼多的東西。
為這咖啡店在食物、咖啡及對社區關懷上作出的種種而打氣!加油!!
