Darkstar Coffee
Co fermentation session with Marcus at the La Marzocco Open House ☕
Marcus dived into how co fermented coffee is made, what actually happens during fermentation and how different fruits can completely shape the final cup.
Marcus walked everyone through the process of our newest blend - Strawberry Shortcake, followed by tasting sessions that gave people a chance to experience just how much processing impacts flavour.
From fermentation tanks to the final brew - it was a great chance to slow it down, ask questions and give it a taste!

A recap of our La Marzocco open house event at Darkstar.
We had coffee professionals in the space sharing knowledge, pouring shots, talking technique and breaking down what goes into making great coffee on La Marzocco home machines.
From machine demos to hands on tastings, latte art sessions and co fermentation conversations, it was a full morning of learning directly from people who live and breathe coffee every day.
A big thank you to La Marzocco for sharing their expertise and giving everyone the chance to learn more about getting the best out of a home setup.
And thank you to everyone who came down, asked questions and got involved. ☕️

Home Barista Training ☕️
Learn how to make cafe quality coffee from your own kitchen, using the same techniques and standards used behind the bar.
This is hands-on training that takes you through everything from espresso extraction and grinder calibration, to milk texturing and how to pour silky milk for latte art.
You’ll learn how to understand your machine, dial in your coffee, improve consistency and troubleshoot when things don’t taste quite right.
All taught in a relaxed at-home session, so you can practice in your own space with your own setup, where it matters most.

There’s something about slow mornings that change the whole feel of the day.
The hum of the machine, the steam rising, the rhythm of it all filling the kitchen, while everything else can wait.
Enjoying every sip, intentionally, like a small act of care for yourself before anything else asks for your attention.
It sets the tone for everything that follows ☕️
Is your coffee tasting sour or bitter? 🤔
It usually comes down to one thing…your grind.
Marcus explains why this happens and how to fix this.
Summary tip - aim for a 1:2 ratio and around 30 seconds for a balanced shot ☕️
