Tom remembers the coffee that made him embark on a career in the coffee industry. It was sourced, roasted and made with care - a truly memorable and delicious cup. He still recalls who made that coffee, how it tasted and today that business, twenty plus years later, is owned by the same barista. Plus, now they have become a great customer and friend of La Marzocco.
Once Tom discovered the world of coffee, there was no going back. Over the last 15 years he has worked his way through the coffee industry in the UK and NZ, and now heads up La Marzocco NZ, the machine manufacturer of choice for the NZ speciality coffee industry, plus the chosen machine manufacturer of choice for the NZ Specialty Coffee Association Latte Art and Barista Championships.
Tom loves the opportunity to talk coffee and encourages café owners to come chat to him about machines, beans, and everything in between.
“You’ll find that if you can invest in quality coffee equipment, you can create a frictionless workflow and achieve superior quality coffee every time.”
