A Treat for the Senses: Flavor, Culture, and Art Come Together in Breville Philippines Event

There’s something incredibly romantic about finding a deep interest in something. Whether it’s a hobby, a type of art, or even food, we can enrich our lives in many ways when we decide to pursue a passion that feels close to our soul.

Passion, culture, and taste are three worlds that definitely collided during Breville’s Coffee & Creations Event that was held at Rustan’s Ayala Cebu recently. The event, which was rooted in the world of coffee and its rich culture, branched out to the realm of art and candle-making during its three-day run.

The workshop opened with the Coffee & Canvas Painting Workshop with Philippine-based and award-winning contemporary modern artist Bisai. In a creative twist to the session, participants were given the chance to create their masterpieces using coffee as their medium. The results are artworks that are not only rustic but also authentic as the different shades of coffee were used to bring depth to the artwork using watercolor techniques. The participants also had the pleasure to enjoy sipping coffee during the session, all made from Breville’s top-of-the-line espresso machines.

The Coffee & Canvas Painting Workshop shows the versatility of coffee, not only as a medium that can tickle the taste but also the creativity of people. The same thing can be said for the Sip & Pour event with Chandler Candles which had its participants enjoy pouring their coffee and candles in a relaxing DIY session. Coffee-scented candles are not only relaxing to enjoy in your own home, but they're also the perfect holiday gift for loved ones who have a special spot in their heart for the drink.

The three-day event also had a special demo by Breville Philippines Corporate Chef Chad Datu who taught how to make Mediterranean Inspired Ciabatta Bread, another perfect munch that can be paired seamlessly with your favorite espresso. True enough, the Coffee & Creations Workshop is the perfect demonstration of how art, taste, and culture intertwine—all in a humble cup of coffee.

Breville Philippines has always been a true advocate of sharing the culture of coffee and the many ways it can enrich the lives of its enthusiasts, regardless of their level of mastery of the drink. The brand is the leading market provider of home lifestyle partners, most notably their line of espresso machines which brings the third-wave coffee experience right in the homes of coffee lovers.

One of its top-of-the-line espresso machines is the Barista Pro which is made for people who know and love their coffee to a tee but do not always have the luxury of time to make their brew.

With an intuitive interface that already sets the right dose of freshly ground beans, temperature, and water pressure, the Barista Pro delivers the perfect third-wave cup of coffee that’s world’s better than what can be picked up in retail coffee shops. Other features of the model include a ThermoJet heating system that uses 32 percent less energy (compared to a Thermoblock heating system) and powerful steam wands that can help create silky microfoam perfect for latte art.
