2017 SCA Coffee Expo | Open new products

From April 20th to 23rd this year, the coffee show, SCA Global Coffee Expo, was held in Seattle, USA. What is noteworthy this time is the first exhibition held after the merger of SCAA (Specialty Coffee Association of America) and SCAE (Specialty Coffee Association ofEurope), which is of great significance.

I am very glad that BlackWaterIssue has shared the interesting new product information in the exhibition with you.

-Mahlkonig GH1, GH2-

The HEMRO Group's bean grinder, which was shown on HOTELEX in Shanghai this year under the name of HeyCafe, is sold under the Mahlkonig brand in the United States. This bean grinder is called GH1, GH2, has the advantages of reasonable price, and is equipped with Mahlkonig blades.

The biggest difference between GH1 and GH2 is the scale. GH2 can adjust a finer thickness than GH1.

-Aihui Pu Conserv-

IWIP, the water purifier sponsored by the World Barista Competition (World BaristaChampionship), introduced a mini version of the MRS 600 at the exhibition, which is more suitable for smaller boutique cafes.

The original MRS 600s can adjust the TDS value of water through the bypass system. However, because of the high price, small coffee shops are not easy to buy.

According to the demand of the market, IWIP listed "Conserv", which has a clean water capacity of 50 gallons a day. It has the functions of MRS 600series and introduces it to consumers at a reasonable price.

-Ditting 804 Lab Sweet-

Ditting, a famous bean grinder, showed the new model 804Lab Sweet. This new product is equipped with a different blade from the previous 804 model, which can improve the extraction yield.

-Bonavita electronic scale-

Bonavita electronic scale which can control extraction time and extraction weight at the same time. Recently, with the increasing number of Home Barista, bonavita takes advantage of the opportunity to chase and lead the consumption boom.

-Motif electronic scale-

The motif electronic scale can be connected to the mobile phone app, and all weighing details can be displayed on the mobile phone. There is no screen on the electronic scale. Looks like a small tray, emphasizing portability.

However, it is a slight pity that the motif weighing unit is not 0.1g, but 1g benchmark. Recently, there have been many accurate electronic scales in the boutique coffee market, so it seems that the weighing unit of motif is a little large.

But we have personally operated this electronic scale and experienced that it has a strong synchronization performance with app and does not feel the delay. And the function of automatically starting the alarm clock when the weight is set is of great help to the barista.

-The Book of Roast-

The Roast, a famous coffee roasting magazine, published the roasting reference book The Book of Roast. This 500-page book collects important articles from past "The Roast" and compiles them into a volume.

-The Orphan Espresso's hand punch pot-

The Orphan Espresso, an American manual bean grinder company, has launched a new hand-flushing pot. It is made of BPA Free, which is plastic but as soft as silica gel.

In particular, people who want to flush outdoors will like this product, which is easy to disassemble and carry.

-Ground Control Brewer-

An improved version of Ground Control Brewer, which was shown at last year's SCAA coffee show in Atlanta, is back in the public eye. The extracted coffee is sucked up by a vacuum pump to produce a good visual effect.

It takes 4-7 minutes to cook each time, and the TDS is 1.3-1.5.

-StrongHold The New S7-

The The New S7 model of the intelligent coffee roaster StrongHold is equipped with a larger touchpad than the previous model, which improves the convenience of users.

In order to bake novice, they will share the expert's baking curve with StrongHold users.

-Brewstar temperature-adjusted hand punch pot-

Touch the temperature adjustment of the hand punch pot. The touchpad is completely waterproof, so you don't have to worry about sprinkling water when cooking. You can choose different colors of hand pots.

-Juggler milk machine-

Juggler, a milk machine from Australia, is very popular at this exhibition.

This product has been put into use in many large-scale coffee shops in Australia, which is very suitable for coffee shops with large flow of people. However, if the milk supplier does not provide Juggler packaging, it is actually not easy to use. If milk suppliers in mainland China do not provide this service, it will be very difficult to introduce into the Chinese market.

-Pour Steady-

Pour Steady is a famous automatic brewing machine in the boutique coffee market in the United States.

In the actual coffee shop, this automatic brewing machine can complete the workload of more than one barista, which is suitable for coffee shops with large sales of hand-brewed coffee.

In particular, the blade diameter of the PKR-100 model is 100mm, and the speed of magic beans is 350rpm, which can restrain the heat of magic beans and preserve more coffee flavor.
