Lotus Biscoff sauce or spread (if you get the smooth spread we recommend you heat this up so it makes a lighter consistency for your martini.

Tomorrow is International Coffee Day (1 October) and JURA Australia has collaborated with Kirsten Tibballs, guest MasterChef judge and queen of desserts, to share cold brew inspired recipes using the recently launched JURA Z10 coffee machine.  The Z10 is the world’s first hot and cold brew fully automated coffee machine and this year’s celebrations are all about the cold brew trend.

My favourite is my No-Churn Coffee Ice Cream which I’m loving at the moment and the fact the machine produces such beautiful quality cold brew at the touch of a button certainly speeds up the process. The cold brew function in the JURA Z10 coffee machine is a breakthrough for coffee lovers, the flavour profile achieved from a cold extraction of freshly roasted beans is outstanding.
