We are refreshed, fully briefed, and ready to dive into pre-production, but first—an essential upgrade to the HQ that was directly inspired by our journey: a brand new, professional-grade office coffee machine!
After weeks spent driving over 7,000 km (sustainably, in our EV!) from Hong Kong, Franfurt, Salzburg, Wienna,Budapest, Venice, Florence, San Marino, Pisa, Cinque Terre, Monaco, Nice, Dijon, Versailles, Orleans to Paris, and through the Imperial Triangle, our team conducted what we’ll call a highly rigorous, quality assurance review of the continent’s finest caffeine.
This comprehensive, cross-border analysis confirmed what many coffee lovers already know: the simple, expertly pulled espresso remains the gold standard. And in this unofficial competition, Italy truly won the gold medal for its consistently perfect, high-octane brew.
The verdict was unanimous: to maintain the energy and exacting standards we achieved on the road, our in-house coffee game had to be lifted to a professional level.
Our new machine is an investment in team morale, productivity, and our commitment to avoiding substandard coffee now that we’re back home. We can now ensure every script review, every edit, and every client meeting is fuelled by consistently excellent espresso, latte, or flat white—made right here in the office. (Cappuccino is only available before noon as standard… – only the boss can change the time zone to Italy)
Welcome home, team, and welcome to the new era of JMA Films coffee!
Now that we have the fuel, it’s time to build. Stay tuned for updates on which locations from our European tour will feature in our next major project.
