This Week in Coffee; Tuesday 5th of April

Things have been going well here at Moonhead HQ. After a break, I'm happy to be back and bringing you the stories about coffee from across the world. At the end of the newsletter this week, I've got links to updated Twitter lists.

Equipment

  • Weber Workshops launch the SG-1 burrs for £44k

It's nice to see Weber being able to laugh at themselves. Honestly, if any company would sell a set of stone burrs for £44,000 - it would be Weber!

  • Release of the Giga 10 from Jura

I've been able to confirm that these are now fully available to purchase and they look super interesting for a certain type of customer or business.

The Giga 10 now makes up the very top of Jura's offering and of prosumer machines in general. As such, it will straddle the line between home use and commercial use and I expect to see these in high-end estate agents and hairdressers soon enough.

The 10 is an extension of the original Giga 6 with some added features including more pre-programmed drinks but the big step up is the addition of cold brews and Americanos.
