two trees cold press coffee bicycle — Coffee

Have your cold press coffee delivered by bike

24 Jan 2013

West End espresso bar Two Trees is raising funds via Pozible for a cold press delivery bike. Over the summer break, Two Trees was busy pumping out the cold press coffee for patrons, the preservative-free, natural, fairtrade and organic coffee a hit in our city’s heat. To make the cold press, coarsely ground beans are left to soak overnight, the slow process extracting any bitterness and acidity from the coffee. The black coffee is then topped up with Maleny or soy milk, with a smidge of vanilla added for sweetness. Wanting to bring this summer beverage to businesses in West End and Brisbane City, as well as weekend markets, Two Trees is opting for a nomadic bicycle with an attached cold trailer as its mode of transport. To support the team (and street food culture in general in Brisbane) pop over to the campaign here. more
