☆ LoCo (Local Coffee)'s Créme Brûlèe Latte ☆

~PREFACE~

I think I've referenced this relative one too many times so I'm gonna give them a name. Bruv, if you're reading this I'm sorry for doxxing your go-to spots 🙏 Anyway, relative lore, they're somewhat of a distant cousin and an avid coffee fan [bros got their own coffee making stuff from around the world which I would steal whenever I visit--]. And so it'll be more honourable, I'll be referring to them as "Cece (Calx's Cousin)" from now on.

Anyway, the footage is actually theirs because I just ordered the drink recently (yesterday) and it was through Grab food since the hotel I was staying in was somewhat far from another branch. And well I assume it's due to transportation... The drink's good sure but it's not so picture perfect when it arrived.

According to them, it's somewhat of a hidden café since you have to go inside a medical clinic to get to its entrance. And hey, if there's one thing I've learned about where to find coffee, it's usually when it's hidden-- Unfortunately, they said they haven't been there for awhile so they're not sure whether or not it's still open. But, they insisted I try the créme brûlèe latte.

Also, they briefly mentioned about how the coffee there is locally sourced and each one has their own flavour profiles. Unfortunately, I've never tried and neither them since they only ever ordered the same latte (after trying it, couldn't blame them).

Calinog - sweet, fruity, and floral notes Leon - well-balanced with notes of dark chocolate, nuts, and a hint of spice

~THOUGHTS~

Right off the bat, I am not surprised why they would highly recommend this to me. They mentioned how it's like Vietnamese egg coffee without the eggs due to the texture. Sure, it's not like the one in Meraki Cafe in Vietnam but it's akin to the ones content creators make (a more condensed milk-y texture than frothy).

I ordered mine with just 75% sweetness and it's still somewhat sweet. And their coffee is quite refreshing. It's cold brewed too, based on Cece's video. I'm assuming it used Calinog coffee beans since I did catch a mild almost fruity flavour from the coffee.

I shake mine well before drinking so the cream cheese flavour is very subtle. And I noticed a very light, sweet corn taste. Cece told me to have tried the cream cheese foam first before shaking it because I would've understood more of what they meant regarding how it's similar to Vietnamese egg coffee.

Other than that, I find it interesting since other such lattes tend to incorporate eggs. Actually making a créme brûlèe for it with the hard burnt sugar top. Nonetheless, the coffee was quite good.

Also, Cece gave me their footage since they stopped making private vlogs and didn't want the footage to never be put to use. Or at least, shown to the world.

“From Bean to Cup”: Nic Salerno’s ‘Espresso Chronicles’ and the love of specialty coffee in Australia.

Hey all! Together with the blog’s first guest, I have brewed something special for you.

Grab your favourite caffeinated beverage and allow me to introduce you to the first of many collaborations with thought leaders, business owners and individuals from the Southern European and Middle Eastern diaspora community.

The aim of working with fellow wogs is to highlight those who are making waves and leading the pack in what is the next generation of wog influence (wogfluence?) in Australia. Without further ado, I introduce to you Nic Salerno - Owner & Coffee Enthusiast at Espresso Chronicles.

Espresso Chronicles operates via e-commerce and is founded by Nic’s Coffee enthusiasm and entrepreneurship, informed by Italian-Australian heritage, and based in Sydney, Australia.

From recommending the ‘Best Brew in Town’, a collection of the best Cafes in Sydney to something more personal; a reel where Nic sits down with his Nonno to get his valued opinion on Perfetto Moka Hazelnut by Bialetti.

Nic's dedication to Coffee is evident in all facets of his business endeavour.

I came across Espresso Chronicles by participating in the brand’s regular Tik Tok lives earlier this year in March.

"Espresso Chronicles is not just a business, we are dedicated Coffee enthusiasts with a pure passion for the Coffee community." - Nic Salerno, Owner & Coffee Enthusiast

What captivated me the most was watching Nic come to life in the live sessions, which showcased an interactive and educational approach to coffee with an impeccable set design (you can see his marketing influence shine here), and an opportunity to discuss what coffee means for the viewers.

This really gave me an insight into Nic’s world and everything that made him tick and light up. A true joy to watch, in which he deploys a natural and relatable live stream approach to his viewers and loyal followers.

The business sells an array of items such as Coffee, Coffee Accessories and Coffee Makers including Grinders, Moka Pots, Cups & Christmas Specialty items (i.e. Panettone)

Products are sold online and are shipped nationwide, to New Zealand and selected international countries.

Espresso Chronicles aims to be a hub for anything coffee-related (not just product specific).

I chose to speak to Nic and this business due to the intent and meaningful story that informs the consumer and enthusiast on how he creates a hub for fellow coffee enthusiasts and showcases his passion for doing what truly makes you proud to represent culture (in your own special way).

In sitting down with Nic one-on-one, I was able to truly understand and immerse myself in his passion for coffee, in what has become a very personal experience for him. 

Growing up in an Italian household, coffee was at the centrepiece of every discussion and family visit.

“Coffee is the beverage that brings us together and evokes unity,” Nic relayed, and I 100% agree. Initially, going into coffee was not something on Nic’s radar, as his expertise lies in Marketing, Project Management and Buying, with a degree in Counselling in his back pocket also.

As Nic said, “Through life experiences, we naturally evolve into our true selves.”

The business evolved out of Nic’s true love and passion for espresso, in what became a joke amongst friends with the nickname “Mr Espresso.”

Nic became quite known for ordering his signature coffee whilst out and slowly the business morphed into a community of that same passion.

Through the creation of Espresso Chronicles, Nic has enabled a community of individuals with a special passion for the iconic (and very Italian) beverage and its methodology.

It’s been an amazing journey to see Nic and Espresso Chronicles grow in the 2 years of activation, which I have felt very privileged to have been a part of in the very initial stages as a customer and now, a collaborator.

I want to highlight that not only can wogs be proud of their heritage, and in Nic’s instance coffee, but through professionalism, passion and business expertise he has been able to create something that brings heritage and identity into play, in his own way.

Being proud of your roots is what makes us who we are and forms the fabric of our identity and leaning into where we are from and enhancing our identity's core values, makes us true representations of our higher self.

Drawing inspiration from origins is something to note here, and resonates well with the wogism ethos.

I want to thank Nic for his interest and time in being involved in the first wogism feature and collaboration.

It’s been a joy and pleasure to get to know him and I look forward to seeing what he has in store for Espresso Chronicles and his own journey in the coming months/years!

Should you have any questions or inquiries you can reach Espresso Chronicles on Instagram, Tik Tok and the Web.

Nic also writes a dedicated blog named “EC Coffee Break” which I urge you to give it a read; my favourite post would be How-To Make the Perfect Moka Coffee.

As always,

Stay well and be well.

up for some coffee date?

[batireads]

Here’s me trying to save money by adding vanilla flavored milk to my homemade cold brew.

These days it’s the little things I look forward to.

It used to be trips and reunions and weddings. It used to be sleepovers and cinemas and amusement parks.

Now it’s a cup of coffee.

Now, it’s a delicious story about people with very different lives from my own.

It’s a stroll outside in this apocalyptic climate.

It’s a phone call with my best friend.

It’s figuring out who the murderer is in whichever detective show I watch, before the reveal.

It’s listening to an audiobook late at night in bed, imagining vividly all the things being described.

Now I look forward to the little things, they keep me busy until the big things are back.
