    There is a new coffee community that has just been created. I believe as Melbourneans we need to make sure we go and add our collective coffee wisdom.

        We’ll just keep that quietly to ourselves here. Just, don’t go announcing such blasphemy in the coffee community, you could ruin our reputation!

          I shared that opinion for the first 35 years of my life. It turns out I just hadn’t tried good coffee (espresso). There are so many ways to have coffee too… I did a bit of experimenting, started out with lattes with a couple of sugars and moved on to stronger brews over a few months. I’m not pounding triple shot long blacks or anything but I do love me a nice cup of Joe these days.

          Never ever touch instant coffee. I’m not even sure how people call that stuff coffee.

          I also thought beer was disgusting until I was 26.

              Coffee gelato is my go to. I hate coffee as a drink unless it’s sugary Starbucks gunk!

              I only use it when very sleep deprived and struggle at work. I get shaky and heart palpitations

            Instant works is cheap and put tumeric pepper honey and soy in it tastes not bad. I gave trying to have fancy coffee at home years ago. Saved a fortune on buying average stove top stuff. It’s still not a huge step up from instand imo compared to the great stuff you can get everywhere in Melbourne.

            I still have some perculator coffee and a moka pot of course for when people come over.

          I don’t dislike it, but it makes me feel peculiar. Basically just don’t see what all the fuss is about and can’t be bothered.

        same here. Can’t even stand the smell. Don’t @me with “but you haven’t tried the right blend of cat crap organic hippie toe-picked steam froth!” I hate coffee and it’s not going into my mouth,.

        Look, I like Starbucks coffee. So I too am villainised.

        (I honestly don’t care how people drink their coffee, live and let live.
