Mmmm, anyone for Coffee?

[wazkelly]

Felt bad about hijacking a newcomer’s thread over the past few days where he asked about using coffee as a stain. I think the consensus of opinion was that it would work, even if using decaf and that got me thinking about what people reckon is the best coffee?

I prefer to drink it but have tasted many ones that were more worthy of being used as a stain instead. This is what I use when making my own drop of coffee and if using instant The Green one does taste better than Moccona and costs about the same plus supposed to be better for you too.

For you folk in Perth or South West WA if you haven’t been to Yahava give yourself an uppercut as they have the best coffee I have tasted anywhere in this country and you are seriously missing out on some home grown goodness operating in your own backyard.

Interested to see what others reckon is their favourite coffee?

We did get a few degrees off course there didn't we?

After seeing a doco on how a lot of instant coffee is made I have refused to drink the stuff ever since...
Here in Perth we have a great coffee roasting company called Brasiliano.
I am enjoying a double shot espresso as I write this.

The inner west of Sydney has great coffee, unfortunately it is also overrun with "Coffee Culture" which has seemingly become more important than the actual coffee. I don't care if the Flat white or long black I ordered is single origin Guatemalan rainforest friendly picked by natives and roasted by descendants of Mayans (who happily now live in Annadale?!?!) why does it take 14 minutes to make?

Campos, no fuss good coffee, fewer variations on OTT marketing doublespeak.

Yeah, whats with this whole "deconstructed" coffee thing?
If I am paying $6 for a cup of coffee, I want it to arrive in one cup not coffee in one cup, milk in another pretty little jug.
Next thing is they will expect the customer to pick the beans, roast em, grind em and make a cuppa themselves and charge $20....

can't drink instant coffee out of a jar... I actually but a pretty good take away from the concourse of Flinders St Station in Melb...

nespresso pod machine at home - some say it isn't real coffee, but tastes fine and gives very consistent results

Yes, we appear to have reached Peak Pretentious Wonk in many parts of the country. Sydney and Melbourne especially so.

I like the fact that the pods can be cranked up to 11 and 12.

I used to work in a coffee shop but I'm not a snob. I really couldn't be bothered making brewed coffee, I'm yet to have one of those pod things that tasted any good, I just drink instant Moccona Expresso. I drink more tea than coffee really. I discovered coconut milk in matcha (green tea) and that's my go to day time drink (after breakfast which is just a cup of coffee)

We tend to drink the Moccona Classic at home and having spent 50+ years in IT it's fair to say I have a habit.

One of the guys on my car club forum is the man behind the Aldi coffee, he won the Australian barrista awards a few years ago and finished 4th in the world in 2014.

As an aside to his day job he used to play drums for James Morrison, his name is Craig Simon and has a bit of stuff with his trio up on YouTube
