Fräus’ “seriously rich” range of chocolate products is a result of blending the most precious and aromatic cacao, with a variety of natural products to create a drinking chocolate regarded amongst the worlds finest.

The range of Fräus flavours dates back to the old tradition of chocolate making by the European masters.

By blending the precious “Caraque”, regarded as the most aromatic and rare of Cocoa available, they were able to produce noble recipes exclusive to European royalty and eventually introduced into the circles of high society.

It is now our pleasure to bring to you Fräus’ unique range of the finest blends of drinking chocolate, obtained after years of experience in the “Chocolat” production. Enjoy!

Espresso Elements was tonight a finalist in the Cultural Award category at the Village Green VIC 1000 Programme awards celebration.

The Cultural Award category celebrates the greatest change in the personal culture of a business and highly active participation in the program.

Espresso Elements would like to thank Village Green and Bayside City Council for the opportunity and invaluable information made available to us during the program.  

Also thanks to our Staff who have embraced and implemented this new sustainable culture with gusto.

The VIC 1000 project is a three year pilot Sustainable Business Management Programme working with 1000 small to medium size enterprises (SME) in five regions throughout Victoria, facilitated by Village Green and supported by the Sustainability Fund.

Through better understanding of their business operations, participating businesses are empowered to reduce their level of environmental impact, while at the same time saving significant amounts on their operating costs. Working with local councils and trader groups to develop communal strategies, the programme brings benefits to both the businesses and residents of local communities.

Did you know?

Turkish bridegrooms were once required to make a promise during their wedding ceremonies to always provide their new wives with coffee. If they failed to do so, it was grounds for divorce!

Have you heard of the legend of “cowboy coffee“? It was said they made their coffee by putting ground coffee into a clean sock and immersed it in water heated over campfire. When ready, they would pour the coffee into tin cups and drink it. Even with a clean sock….YUCK!!

Another American legend has it that a cowboy used to pour the grounds in the bottom of the pot, add some egg shells (to settle the grounds?) pour in the water and boil. He would then drink the coffee while it was still bubbling. He called that “Cowboy Coffee“.
