Bali boys hit Freo!

If you haven’t been to Hush on Market Street in Fremantle yet, make it your homework for this weekend. These guys have worked away diligently on their craft and are now making some of the best coffee in Perth. When I started to think about a place for some work experience for the Bali boys, it was top of the list. Owner Daniel was happy to oblige and I arrived this morning after the morning  rush was over with two very nervous Balinese baristas in tow. The boys were in luck as Michael was manning the Synesso and really helped the boys find their feet. Komang was thrown in first into the “shot monkey” slot and quickly got into the groove.

He looked very comfortable and pulled consistently great shots and quickly got the feel for working in a busy, high quality cafe. Meanwhile, Gede was keeping it real in the kitchen on dishes duty and quickly fell for the charms of the dishwasher (mechanical dishwasher, that is!) . Not too many of them in Ubud.

After an hour or so it was time to swap roles and Gede got into the swing of things quickly, also pulling great shots and showing the benefit of a solid week’s training.  Michael ran the boys through some latte art techniques and the boys performed admirably. After only a week’s training they could both easily hold their own in any cafe in Perth. Big thanks to all the baristas who helped out with them during the week.
