Driven for a passion for coffee and a search for the truth about espresso, Christine connects with baristas and coffee experts around the world, refining her skills, knowledge and research – to become the ultimate authority on everything about espresso. 

With over 20 years of experience in teaching and working in the hospitality industry, Christine decided to do something different. In 1999, she established Coffee Education Network and since then has helped thousands to improve their espresso techniques and to more fully appreciate the espresso concept. As well as teaching classes, she also presents at conferences, social functions and events. 

Christine’s expensive research about espresso was the start of a journey she now shares with her husband Paul. Together they continue on a crusade that leads them all over Australia – from coffee plantations in north Queensland and northern New South Wales to Melbourne and Sydney for discussions with roasters and blenders. 

Pursuit of excellence in espresso also takes Christine and Paul beyond Australia – to Europe, collecting conversations with espresso experts and stories from historical cafes; to South America, visiting coffee plantations; and to the Middle East, the historical home of coffee.
