Bump.
I drive past Zentvelds everytime I'm visiting the SIL at Newrybar as they are just up the road.
I live with a barista and I service a few machines yet we don't make coffee at home, it's a going out thing :o
When in Byron I drink at Bayleaf, who are very, very consistent and roast their own beans with a roastery opposite the café in Marvel St.
