"What then is the fascination of a life with marionettes? Is it the pleasure of performing? The appeal of mastering an 'instrument' to the point of virtuosity? The transformation of one's own self? The process of emphathising with mind and soul, of feeling at one with music and movement that bring these much loved creatures to life?”

Gretel Aicher, Salzburg Marionette Theatre

Indeed, is Edward the master puppeteer of coffee?

He looks upon the roasting and serving of coffee as an art form in itself – creating the perfect tasting cup and social experience for the caffeine culture of Sydney.
