Think Tank Coffee set to take on Australian notNeutral distributorship
Announcement posted by Harvest Ideas 10 Mar 2015
Think Tank Coffee announces plans to take on the Australian distributorship rights of the premium commercial grade crockery, by notNeutral design house Rios Clementi Hale Studios (California).
The range features specialty Lino porcelain coffee cup collection designed in collaboration with baristas from famed USA roaster Intelligentsia, and the Gino dripper introduced to complement the Lino range, found in specialty cafes world wide.
The Lino coffee cup range, already recognised for product and design excellence, combines the ideal shape and functionality. A distinctive feature of the Lino cup is the curved inner cup, allowing the optimal flow of liquids and maintaining the barista’s perfect pour. The inside ‘bowl’ shape also gives the customer better enjoyment of the coffee aroma.
These cups have a thick base for heat retention and a finer rim for a pleasant mouthfeel. The handle has been designed as a logical extension of the cup, providing the ideal thumb resting position for naturally balancing the cup in the hand.
The entire Lino range features:
- espresso (3oz)
- single cappuccino (5oz)
- double cappuccino (6oz)
- small latte (8oz)
- large latte (12oz) and,
- filter coffee cup (10oz mug), fits the Gino coffee dripper for filter brew coffee.
LINO was awarded Best New Product by the Specialty Coffee Association of America (SCAA) in 2010 and named a Finalist at the 2011 International Design Excellence Awards. Dishwasher and microwave safe, the restaurant-grade fine porcelain Lino cups will be the premium cup range offered by Think Tank Coffee.
The GINO dripper took home the SCAA Best New Product of 2014, and the People's Choice Award for Best Consumer Coffee Serving Equipment.
