Coffees Fourth Wave - Designer Coffee Created Naturally

Friday, April 23rd, 2010

Flavoured coffee has been around for years and was probably most popularised by the likes of Starbucks and other fast-food style coffee chains who use sickly sweet flavouring as a way to disguise their poor quality coffee product, in my opinion. Personally I cannot understand why people would want to flavour their coffee; however there are very ..

The Evolution of Tea

Friday, April 23rd, 2010
The range of tea options available in Australia has come a long way. Leading the flavoured teas in Australia and tackling the coffee world head on is the Chai Latte.   A popular request at any cafe.

Scotch and its Global Offspring

Mon, 06 Sep 2010 07:00:00 PDT

Like Champagne, only whisky from Scotland can be called Scotch - but there's a whole lot more to learn about this incredibly diverse brown liquor. [Click here to to view this content at Broadsheet Melbourne.]


The Little Ox

Mon, 06 Sep 2010 22:58:17 PDT

Vote for this HotShot Cafe It’s all about the vibe, and the vibe is good. This little gem has been pumping out good vibrations for months, and MCR has only just managed to ‘drop by’. Clean, funky and authentic is all I can say. It’s a cool Melb afternoon, and school is out,.. clearly the barista here is the school master and he knows his stuff. I received my short macc post haste and I...

It’s been a while

Sun, 05 Sep 2010 16:28:43 PDT

Hi all, well it has been quite a while since our last post. Things have been busy, really busy . So here is the latest. You will no longer see Dale’s happy face around the cafe, about 5 months ago he traveled to the mighty U.S to do a roasting course, spent a week learning about the intricacies of “Californian Peaches”, among other things. As a result Dale and his Dad, Michael, now do all of...

Location: Gold Coast, Australia smooth creamy coffee, good service


Espresso Lab Microroasters, Woodstock, Cape Town, South Africa

Sat, 04 Sep 2010 07:35:29 PDT

Location: Cape Town, South Africa An espresso bar/roastery one would expect to see in Scandinavia. Nice clean lines, white and black interior, sweet GB/5 & Mazzer grind-on-demand setups, Aeropress and V60 Buono kettles all back up their awesome team and amazing coffees micro roasted on-site with a stunning Diedrich roaster. Some of the best coffees I've tasted the last year or two (locally...


Sacred Cafe, Holloway, London, United Kingdom

Sat, 04 Sep 2010 04:22:24 PDT

Location: London, United Kingdom Great coffee in an unlikely location: a new development of apartment blocks and studios just off the Holloway Rd. Coffee has an antipodean feel with flat whites and the like, competently drawn from the Marzocca by pleasant staff (also mainly from down under too). Free wifi, mags and newspapers to read. Didn\'t try the food but looked good.


Tomdickandharry's, Falls Creek, Victoria, Australia

Fri, 03 Sep 2010 19:48:28 PDT

Location: Victoria, Australia Located at the new Quay West development at Falls Creek this cafe is pretty much what you would expect for a new shiny resort. Needing to tailor their coffee to the mass / general public it\'s a pretty bland cafe blend Piazza bean. The staff DO make the most of this inoffensive bean and make a pretty consistent brew. I recommend a double shot in your latte or flat...


Pearl, Woolloongabba, Brisbane, Australia

Location: Brisbane, Australia Poor service, rude staff but good coffee and atmosphere.


True To The Bean, Katoomba, , Australia

Fri, 03 Sep 2010 06:16:55 PDT

Location: , Australia Great coffee, the best in Katoomba! They use Coffee Alchemy from Hazel De Los Reyos, in Marrikville and they use a Kees Van Der Westen two group Mirage. The waffles are very good, not like u expect though! Try them with cinnamon and maple syrup and ice cream!


Rouge, Armadale, Melbourne, Australia

Fri, 03 Sep 2010 01:01:39 PDT

Location: Melbourne, Australia Great little French provincial style cafe. Had a great big breakfast of Eggs Benedict on Brioche and a fantastic latte. Was creamy and chocolaty just like I like it. Highly recommended if you are a local looking for a great coffee and something rich to eat, or even if you are just passing through.


Freestyle Espresso, South Melbourne, Melbourne, Australia

Fri, 03 Sep 2010 02:57:06 PDT

Location: Melbourne, Australia I discovered this delightful little place the other week whilst frequenting the South Melbourne Market and have since been back 4 times!! It's a newcomer to the Melbourne cafe scene and whilst small, it "packs a punch" in terms of friendly, welcoming staff, delicious food (all house-made, of course) and best of all my personal fav, Allpress coffee! Freestyle is...


Kafe Mument, Clayton, Melbourne, Australia

Thu, 02 Sep 2010 15:03:08 PDT

Location: Melbourne, Australia The skinny latte here is drinkable, breakfast service is fantastic! Egg and bacon available in sandwiches and muffins.


Little Willy's, Northbridge, Perth, Australia

Wed, 01 Sep 2010 22:47:12 PDT

Location: Perth, Australia Great new cafe in Northbridge, opened by the same crew from 'the dancing goat' in Cottesloe. Fiori beans, talented and experienced baristas, friendly service and good seating options make for a sure winner IMO.


Introducing... 'The Toshi'

Wed, 01 Sep 2010 09:15:00 PDT

by Market Lane With all the practice and skill in the world, you still need good equipment to make great coffee. A sturdy, comfortable, and sexy milk jug makes a big difference to the capricious art of stretching milk (well, maybe not the sexy part, but if you have to have a milk jug sitting on your bench top...). So we at Market Lane are proud to present a high quality stainless steel 12 oz...
