About Us:

We are a small roastery located in Abbotsford, Victoria.  We pride ourselves on delivering excellent coffee and service to our customers and we always have something exciting on the boil.  (Pardon the pun.)  If you drop by to visit us, and you are most welcome to, there will always be people cupping up a new origin, extracting a new blend or just trying to one-up each other's latte art.  This spirit has seen us have a lot of fun in various competitions.  Our master roaster, Peter Wolff, has over twenty years of experience and we don't know how many medals.  This year our superstar barista David Makin represented Australia at the World Barista Competition.  Luca might have a shot in our annual sack race.

First Pour is located at 26 Bond Street, Abbotsford.  The roastery is next door, at 22 Bond Street.  We presume that number 24 is the weeds between the buildings.

Car: There is usually ample parking in Bond Street or directly outside First Pour, but note that Bond Street is no entry from Victoria Street.  If you are coming from Church Street (ie. coming from the city), turn left into South Audley Street, right at Southampton Crescent and right again into Bond Street.  If you are coming from Burnley Street, turn right into Duke Street, left at Southampton Crescent and left again into Bond Street.

Tram: The number 109 tram runs along Victoria street, from the City to Box Hill.  There is a stop at South Audley Street (Houghton's Dry Cleaners).

Hi Coffee Snobbers,

Come in and try our award winning coffees!

Hey guys,

It's been a while since our last update. As you all know, David Makin won the right to represent Australia at the 2008 World Barista Championships in Copenhagen Denmark. He placed 2nd in a field of over 50 nations.

In David's espresso blend, he really wanted a coffee that reminded him of his travels through Europe and America. His espresso blend comprises of 2 origins; firstly an El Salvador St. Helena for the coffee fruit notes and the sparkling acidity almost like a good quality riesling. He then rounded the blend off with the Brazil Daterra Vintage Reserve for the dry berry notes it adds through the middle of the cup.

Get in quick as this is a limited release and will not be repeated.

500 grams for $30. A must try coffee!

If we have enough left on Saturday 19th, I will run it through my 2nd grinder and pour espressos only for $3.


Cheers,

David Seng
