I have a love for coffee - dare I say an addiction. Yet, I find myself on the quest for the 'perfect' cup of coffee in Melbourne. When I mean perfect, I mean a coffee that you can rely on always being good, if not getting better each time. Too often I have been let down, disappointed, by my eagerness and anxiousness for that perfect cup of coffee from a cafe that did offer that the last time I was there - however, to my disappointment, this time, what can I say, it's just not good. This does have a tumbling effect...... bad coffee.... bad start to the morning.....There are however some places in the city that do a good cup of coffee, and I have found a few things from these places that may be reasons for good coffee. The first being the barista - the same person each time - this person knows the machine, understands how it works perfectly and how to 'play' the machine to get that perfect creaminess of milk. The second being the milk used - let me say I hate skinny milk in a latte - sure, there are people who do want it, however, I am finding that too many cafes instantly assume you want skinny milk, and to add to the shock - some don't stock full cream milk, or question the difference! Now lets not go there.......
The third being the cleanliness of the machine, and the forth being the coffee beans themselves, are they freshly roasted.....
I would love to hear from you, in particular, good experiences with coffee in Melbourne :)
