I wake up and get up at 2 or 3 am Perth time, while the Billy boils I feed the cat, start modems and tablet, turn on TV ch 24 or SBS news, make my coffee, nescafe, I love it's bitterness early in the AM, so in 5 minutes I am sitting down, watching the news, cats got breakfast, coffee in hand, I don't need no 24 hrs to wash last nights sh.t outta my mouth

As for coffee I did try the Moccona today.

I much preferred it to the Nescafe Blend (number)

However I did have a Lavazza today.

That was bloody nice but my stomach felt like a million butterflies after so I won't get it again.

Default Re: Coffee

My favourite coffee would have to be the wild bean cafe from the bp servos....i would have a maxi cappuccino everyday,sometimes two.

The only problem is if you times $5.50 x 356 it =$1958 per year it was costing a fortune.

So as others have mentioned on here i bought the breville barista express espresso machine and havent looked back,just as good as a cafe...just takes time initially to work out the machine and what bean you like.

I could have bought 10 of these machines with the money i have saved so far.

But every now and then i do buy one from a cafe,it does have that appeal to it.

When you can buy a good hamburger with the lot for $8 paying that for a coffee is ridiculous.

When I was on a tour through Japan 2 years ago on a bus, I'd always make the driver stop at a roadhouse type place that sold Starbucks.
Pretty much the only decent coffee I could find.
Their pastries were always good too.

$8 was a standard affair in the Sydney Hilton a couple of years ago. Someone had to pay for the renovations.
Burangaroo precinct (also Sydney) was well and truly climbing up to that price range pre covid.

Remember on a cruise to Steward Island from Oz, 4 days at sea drinking what must have been desalinated water coffee (or it was plain bilge water) the minute we landed, it was straight to the local chippy who happened to make the best (best cod n chips I've ever had too).
Didn't have any NZ currency so brided them with $15AU for a capp and a soy mocha, didn't care we needed it.

Cruise ship coffee is crap.

Default Re: Coffee

Proper passionate coffee shoppe owners are a funny bunch. One of the buildings i worked in the coffe shop owner was extremely proud and i was in good with him. He was an honest bloke, so upfront by saying the 1st coffee of the day is crap. Meaning untill the machines have warmed up theyre not as good. Still not bad, but not as good as his usuals. So he opened at 6am, and often if it was one of the 1st for the day they'd be free. This blokes food was top notch too. He employed 2 trained chefs, not just a few young sandwich mechanics. So on a couple of occasions during peak service if there was an electrical break down, if i was about he'd collar me and ask for help, then in true fashion price. If it was a 2 minute job with no parts id wave it. If it needed parts then yeah, an invoice. So, when id do a freebie, grease the wheels so to speak, coffees were now free, id get atleast 1 free lunch and subsequent lunches i was on the list for 50% off. A couple of times saving peak service time id be gifted lunch and go to the prefab case, so the glass refigerated thing with food prepared earlier only to be told no no no no no. Then have a sitdown menu thrust in my face. Decide what i wanted off that, only to get told in a very hospitable way, the chefs will whip you up something you will like. So i suspect the chefs werent allowed too much creative freedom, because they'd argue as to who did the cooking. So being a tradie in work gear covered in dust and crap getting a free next level lunch. Those were the days. So the prefab stuff in the case, it was made on site, but was good yet about $9.50 for a sandwich. The sitdown menu started at $20. So free or 50% off was a heaps good discount.

Yep, a good coffee place doesn't discriminate to what clothes you wear.

Sometimes after work in Sydney, getting back after lunch service had finished, (covered in sh*t) I would often wander across from the ol mans building (Darling Park) and be offered a great sit down cooked late lunch by one of the cafe owners there.
His staff would go out of their way to make sure patrons enjoyed the meals. Coffee was well above standard for Sydney.
Haven't been there since CV but hope they have all managed to keep the cafe alive.

Darling park? If its the same one, ive worked there before for the office of murrays coaches. Also i know the electrician who does the emergency lighting system as its the comander system, so a very 90s computerised monitored system thats extremely tempremental.
The bloke who'd give me discounts, his coffees were very good but not the best. The place next door did better coffees but didnt do food unless it was toast. And my apprentices i did encourage to get in good with my guy. And a few did. So i gave the heads up that next door sold better coffee with a stern warning. Coffee from next door is fine, but take a walk to the loading dock. My guy if he catches you, the discounts will be cut off like a deseised hand. And also tarnish all my greasing of gears.

Don't think Murrays were in these three buildings, just Commonwealth and Rabobanks. The place with the beautiful upstairs park set between them.

I think its the same place going off the advertising on the buildings. Murrays had maybe a quarter floor.

Yep, that was on the drive in and out!
They said it was a future casino site, but we wouldn't be sinking 10" x10" Universal Columns to bedrock for a park?...its a long time ago Rocky, but all welds were ultrasounded before re-piling, but my 1975 memory is not my 2021 memory, positive it was casino site?

Billy in 1975 all that land where your picture is taken was part of the port of Sydney which stretched all the way down to what now is Darling harbour and Barangaroo.
I can see Pier 8 in the background, just in front of it now is where the Sydney pilot boats are based. There's a great cafe on that wharf, funnily enough called "Pier 8"
In 1975 Darling Harbour wasn't even there, as they didn't start building that precinct untill 1981. Didn't start developing barrangaroo until roughly 2010 with the casino building being finished as recently as 2019.

The casino was never allowed to be built past the projector line of Circular Quay ferry wharves but a certain Premier (who will remain nameless) gave it the go ahead despite all the protests from nearby Millers Point residents, City of Sydney council and NSW Heritage Council.
That area in your picture is now Barangaroo Park with a large man made hill in the middle hiding an underground carpark.

So back on coffee, Pier 8 cafe does really nice meals and coffee.

Fun fact nobody cares about. The very first day of my apprenticeship in 2006 was the fitout for murdock books on pier 8/9. Later on, snowy hydro, another office the company i worked for worked for moved from 50 bridge st to pier 8/9. The port authority still park their boats next door.

I remember Yahoo being in there above the Pier 8 cafe.
The little solid stone block building opposite (was a Waterboard switch room) recently became "Brix and Bean" coffee house. Great brekkys.
Partically know every good (eat in) brekky place in Sydney CBD.

Yeah the stone place you speak of is still there. It always seemed popular, but the snowy hydo office opened at 9, never booked a service call before 10 and smoko was at 9. This may sound super basic, but a short walk away down kent st, so north of the fire station, next to the tennis court, is a very wholesome mum and dad style sandwich shop. Their coffee, well, its coffee, nothing to write home about. But, and this might sound simple, but unlike most places in the city they dont have a menu per say. Plus, if you ask for white bread they actually have it. So none of this confused looks of we only have sourdough or soy and lindseed business. So if you ask for a chicken, mayo, lettuce and beetroot sandwich on white because thats what you feel like. Thats what you get.

Know it well and its been a sandwich shop since well before the 80's, next door is Glover Cottage, one of the first places I worked on as a first year apprentice.
That block sandstone wall on the drive next to the fire station I co built with Dianne (1st female Stonemasoness in Oz) who started at the same time.

Wouldn't go as far as master but have experimented a few times with the drip machines my BIL made for coffee shops and it's all in the ratio you use. Coffee shops here do a 7-1 water to coffee ratio to make the base batch and then can water it down from there. So either up the coffee or reduce the water and then see how it taste and whether you need to add a small amount of water afterwards.

I don't have a drip machine. Just a Hario cold brew pot. Have read that I might need to use coarser grind. Will try upping the dose as well.

The cold drip has given me an idea though. I previously filled up the coffee strainer section with water, then also filled up the jug as well. Then let it stew in the fridge for 24-48 hours. Might just let it drip, then just keep adding water to the coffee strainer section instead.

Already that price here in Canberra, I get a small double flat white. Went to Ona in Fyshwick. Small coffee, $5.20, extra shot, $1.50 and as I don't like the blend they use now I opted for their "original blend", $1.50 extra.

I am a coffee snob, but I literally said no thanks and walked out.

Coffee is my drug, but I won't pay over $5 for one......... yet

12 years ago it was $3.50 for a small double flat white, now it's generally $4.70ish, i'm ok with that.

Coffee, I order has been around $4.50-$5 for as long as I can remember, always been that extra charge for Soymilk.

The best way to get a deal on coffees is simple,. Find a place you like, get social with 1 or more of the staff. You know find out one of their interests. Even if its not something that interests you, still every other time ask hows their interest. So become more of a person then just a customer.
So its reverse customer service. It doesn't always work, but when it does you either get a higher quality service or discounts, like a large for the price of a small etc. Worst case you get greeted by name which is nice compared to a hi what would you like?.
