Product Quality

Espresso, milk and water kept clean and balanced

A good piccolo should taste small, smooth and complete. The milk should round the espresso without hiding it, so the cup still tastes focused and full.

Market Lane Coffee's seasonal espresso can bring chocolate fudge, macadamia and dried apricot notes from São Benedito in Piatã, Bahia and San Antonio Selection in Inzá, Cauca. St David Dairy gives the milk a Victorian quality reference, Billi supports a clean filtered-water base, and ST. ALi shows how wholesale coffee service across Australia can help keep espresso drinks consistent.
