COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <bR> <div> That is fantastic!    Adam was soooo happy with his shoes - they were exactly what he wanted - and we can't believe you managed it all via emails, faxes and phone calls!!!! </div> <bR> <div> I couldn't have imagined Adam in anything else - plain old boring black or brown shoes just wouldn't have worked - and he was the most handsome groom ever - not biased at all!!<FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <bR> <div> We were shocked when Cosmo was interested in our wedding - we didn't know anything about it until they rang to check our details and get some more info!    Our photographers sent Cosmo some pics with a "what do you think" line - the next thing we knew, our big day is in a magazine!<FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <bR> <div> The day was a hoot - and it was the little things that we picked (like Adam's shoes) that made it just a little different but extra special!!!    It sure wasn't your typical "white" wedding and we've had so many people tell us they had a ball!    It truly was our perfect day. </div> <bR> <div> Thank you so much Ray - we hope more people get

column has been running, readers have shared the names of myriad people and places across Victoria that they frequent out of loyalty, admiration, interest and habit.   Emails have been witty, clever, opinionated, self-promoting, humble and inspiring.</div> <div> One place that stood out in the first batch was Octane, a coffee kiosk in McKillop Street in the city.</div> <div> Octane is a refuelling stop, and it doesn't pretend to be any more, with signature colours of orange and silver-grey, fresh, fast food and consistent, well-made coffee.   On my first visit, I was impressed with the clean appearance and simple philosophy of the place.   Partners Gabe Davidson and Kahlia Pyle are smart business people with a commitment to quality coffee, efficient service and a sharp eye for appealing, approachable staff.</div> <div> On a second visit, without having any idea who we were, Davidson began discussing water-quality problems with another companion of mine - someone who knew plenty about the importance of perfect water in the search for perfect coffee.   His passion for what he was doing, his knowledge and his commitment were notable.</div> <div> The coffees, on both occasions, were very good and made me want to know more about the place.</div> <div> A few weeks later, I spotted Davidson striding down Carlisle Street, Balaclava, with a toolbox in his hand.   He walked purposefully into a cafe and began to work with its barista at the coffee machine.</div> <div> Now I was really curious.</div> <div> So I made my way to Octane's more secret location on the top floor of the Baker Heart Research Institute and ordered a coffee and a snack: same slick appearance to the store, consistently good coffee and extremely pleasant service.</div> <div> Finally, I contacted Davidson and Pyle to get their story.   They are New Zealanders who moved to Melbourne just over five years ago and they were willing to share the NZ secret to good coffee.</div> <div> "It's because of geography and population size," says Pyle. "If you are going to open up a cafe, you just have to be better than the people down the road.   There is not the population to support average cafes."</div> <div> Davidson says he and Pyle began working together for NZ company Fuel Espresso. Davidson was promoted to head barista and Pyle took on a managerial role.   "When we came to Melbourne we always had the goal of setting up our own espresso bar," he says. "We spent our first three years trying to get the coffee flavour that people in Melbourne were after."</div> <div> They opened in McKillop Street in 2003.   A year later, while in Fawkner Park, they saw the opportunity to set up a coffee cart in the courtyard of the Baker Institute across the road.   The institute encouraged them to set up a cafe on its top floor instead.   Their third outlet, a custom-designed coffee cart in the forecourt of the Victorian County Court building, was set up eight months ago.   Because of the "pit-stop" nature of Octane, paper cups are used for larger coffees, although espressos are served in china cups.</div> <div> "Octane is not a cafe," says Pyle. "Our main focus is to provide excellent take-away coffee."</div> <div> But Davidson says they are so conscious of the environmental impact of what they are doing that each Octane outlet sponsors a child in a coffee-growing region.   The company measures its carbon emissions and plans to plant trees each year to offset the effect.   There are also plans for thermal travel mugs for regulars.</div> <div> One of the points made in the letters about Octane was the pair's commitment to perfection: they time their espresso shots to ensure the ultimate extraction (30-35 millilitres in 25-30 seconds is considered the standard).</div> <div> "Timing eliminates one variable in perfect coffee," says Pyle. "We like our baristas to time their shots, but we also have precision grinders, hand tampers and our baristas are taught to apply the same pressure every time."</div> <div> Octane has eight baristas - including Davidson and Pyle - and the pair says it chooses perfectionists, with the right attitude, passion for people and coffee, rather than those with formal qualifications.</div> <div> "We always use double shots and all of our staff are trained to recognise a perfect extraction. If it's not perfect, they throw it out.   For us it is all about consistent quality," says Davidson.</div> <div> They also work as consultants for Amanti Coffee, training baristas and as coffee-machine technicians - which explains my toolbox experience.</div> <div> They also claim their hot chocolate is extraordinary. "We have developed a blend of two West African cocoas, with the help of Craig McKenzie of Grounded Pleasures, which are high in cocoa butters and contain no sugar or milk.   The taste is amazing," Davidson says.</div> <div> So to complete my research, I headed to the cart - a stainless-steel pod staffed by two charming and efficient baristas.   The hot chocolate was amazing - deep, dark, sweet and mysterious - and the coffee was a pleasant, reliably good brew.</div> </tD> </tR> </TABLE></B></div> <bR> <div> <B>Octane wanted to create a "retro" look which included </B></div> <div> <B>their </B><B>signature colours of orange & silver-gray </B></div> <div> <B>So we worked with Kahlia & Gabe to especially design the </B></div> <div> <B>bowling </B><B>shirts </B><B>now worn by all the Octane staff</B></div> <div> <B>If you'd like to know where the current & planned </B></div> <div> <B>Octane Expresso cafe kiosks are located</B></div> <div> <B>Or you'd like some info on becoming an expert "barista", </B></div> <div> <B>or buy the best Italian coffee brewing equipment, </B></div> <div> <B>or purchase their fabulous coffee blends</B></div> <div> <B>Then you need to contact Kahlia & Gabe on:</B></div> <div> <B>tel:  03 9600 2577</B></div> <div> <B>fax:  03 9670 8570</B></div> <div> <B>mob:  0400 993 051 </B>(Gabe)</div> <div> <B>mob:  0400 993 050 </B>(Kahlia)</div> <div> <A HREF="mailto:info@octanestations.com" TARGET="_top" TITLE="mailto:info@octanestations.com"><U><B>info@octanestations.com</B></U></A></div> <div> <A HREF="http://www.octanestations.com" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://www.octanestations.com"><U><B>www.octane stations.com</B></U></A><B> </B></div> <bR> <div> <A HREF="http://www.octane stations.com " TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://www.octane stations.com "><U><B><IMG SRC="4e7e19ab0.jpg" border=0 width="281" height="171" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></B></U></A></div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <div> <B><IMG SRC="4649c3160.gif" border=0 width="451" height="22" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></B></div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <div> <B>Loraine & David</B></div> <div> <B>"Stepping Out" Dance School</B></div> <bR> <div> <FONT SIZE="4" COLOR="#003366" FACE="Comic Sans MS" ><B>59 pairs of </B></FONT><FONT SIZE="4" COLOR="#0000FF" FACE="Comic Sans MS" ><B>g</B></FONT><FONT SIZE="4" COLOR="#FF0000" FACE="Comic Sans MS" ><B>o</B></FONT><B>r</B><FONT SIZE="4" COLOR="#FF00FF" FACE="Comic Sans MS" ><B>g</B></FONT><FONT SIZE="4" COLOR="#00FF00" FACE="Comic Sans MS" ><B>e</B></FONT><FONT SIZE="4" COLOR="#808000" FACE="Comic Sans MS" ><B>o</B></FONT><FONT SIZE="4" COLOR="#00FFFF" FACE="Comic Sans MS" ><B>u</B></FONT><B>s</B><FONT SIZE="4" COLOR="#333300" FACE="Comic Sans MS" ><B> </B></FONT><FONT SIZE="4" COLOR="#003366" FACE="Comic Sans MS" ><B>shoes !!!</B></FONT></div> <div> <B><IMG SRC="4a39d1980.jpg" border=0 width="209" height="152" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">     <IMG SRC="4ad675980.jpg" border=0 width="117" height="152" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></B></div> <div> <B>Yes, your eyes are not deceiving you...</B></div> <div> <FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#003366" FACE="Comic Sans MS" ><B>Loraine & David are the </B></FONT><FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#0000FF" FACE="Comic Sans MS" ><B>g</B></FONT><FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#FF0000" FACE="Comic Sans MS" ><B>o</B></FONT><B>r</B><FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#FF00FF" FACE="Comic Sans MS" ><B>g</B></FONT><FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#00FF00" FACE="Comic Sans MS" ><B>e</B></FONT><FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#808000" FACE="Comic Sans MS" ><B>o</B></FONT><FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#00FFFF" FACE="Comic Sans MS" ><B>u</B></FONT><B>s</B><FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#003366" FACE="Comic Sans MS" ><B> "record holders"...</B></FONT></div> <div> <B>Loraine has so far purchased 30 pairs of </B><FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#0000FF" FACE="Comic Sans MS" ><B>g</B></FONT><FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#FF0000" FACE="Comic Sans MS" ><B>o</B></FONT><FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#008000" FACE="Comic Sans MS" ><B>r</B></FONT><FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#FF00FF" FACE="Comic Sans MS" ><B>g</B></FONT><FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#00FF00" FACE="Comic Sans MS" ><B>e</B></FONT><FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#808000" FACE="Comic Sans MS" ><B>o</B></FONT><FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#00FFFF" FACE="Comic Sans MS" ><B>u</B></FONT><FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#008000" FACE="Comic Sans MS" ><B>s</B></FONT><B> shoes,</B><B> </B></div> <div> <B>& Da</B><B>vid has purchased 29 pairs </B><B>of </B><FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#0000FF" FACE="Comic Sans MS" ><B>g</B></FONT><FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#FF0000" FACE="Comic Sans MS" ><B>o</B></FONT><FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#008000" FACE="Comic Sans MS" ><B>r</B></FONT><FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#FF00FF" FACE="Comic Sans MS" ><B>g</B></FONT><FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#00FF00" FACE="Comic Sans MS" ><B>e</B></FONT><FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#808000" FACE="Comic Sans MS" ><B>o</B></FONT><FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#00FFFF" FACE="Comic Sans MS" ><B>u</B></FONT><FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#008000" FACE="Comic Sans MS" ><B>s</B></FONT><B> shoes</B><B>...</B></div> <div> <B>We jokin</B><B>gly (& fondly) refer to them as "Mr & Mrs Imelda"...</B></div> <div> <B>As well as having "incredibly good taste" in shoes, they're also </B></div> <div> <B>extremely delightful people, & just FABULOUS dancers -
