Post subject: Coffee: Best & Worst - Brands or Cafes/Restaurants | |
|
Probably easiest to start with worst I think. And I reckon MACCAS. Yuk. Closely followed by the Pancake Parlour or any joint that uses Coffex coffee.
Best: I love Grinders. Vittoria have a couple of good ones. Hungry Jacks coffee isn't all that bad for what it is, it certainly smashes Maccas. Starbucks I reckon is probably the best of the chain cafes.
I'm mainly looking forward to hearing what others rate as their best coffees. _________________ - "Number 42? I see you've got Darren Millane in the Heaven footy side"

Gloria Jeans across the board have pretty crap coffee in my opinion.The "baristas" are just taught the basic make up of each drink on the menu without really knowing how to make a coffee.(I use to work for Gloria Jeans so I aint talking out my bum).Starbucks is usually abit hot,but American coffee is.Although Starbucks do make an awesome caramel iced coffee there.
Best coffee place I know of is Peaberry's in Charman Rd,Cheltenham.Think they use Gigantie(?) coffee. _________________ Collingwood:Not just a club,but a way of life!

Starbucks would be the WORST coffee I've ever had followed by McDonalds and Gloria Jeans.
I stick to small coffee shops. There is a coffee shop in the BHP Building on Collins Street...they make an awesome coffee in there. _________________ Insert useless signature here -----> |

The best coffee I used to have came of the American naval ships, based in Japan. Called ? (name escapes me at the moment..I'll find out!). Needless to say it came in a can via vending machine hot or cold and made by the Coca- Cola company.
Really gave you a buzz!
Georgia Coffee...thats it (phew! I wouldnt sleep tonight if I didnt find out!) _________________ Enjoy yourself. Its later than you think! |

I'm not into coffee. I drink instant nescafe in the morning purely for the caffiene hit. If I get dragged to a coffee shop, I'll ask for an OJ or a pepsi. _________________ Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down. |

Don't drink it either. But if I do happen to have one, it doesn't matter what it is, lots of milk and sugar.

I'm a big iced coffee fan. Haven't drunk enough of the real stuff to form an opinion yet... all kind of tastes the same. One condition though is no sugar and probably a little more milk. _________________ "Every time we witness an injustice and do not act, we train our character to be passive in its presence." – Julian Assange |

Im actually a tea drinker as a rule. At home I have tea. At work we have an Aromas, so their coffee is nice (and the chicks are friendly), so I get that, as something different. _________________ Enjoy yourself. Its later than you think! |

I love Japanese Green Tea. I've also got this really nice Herbal Tea at home that has orange skin, popcorn, lemon, lime and some other stuff in it. I have it before I go to the gym and it peaks my energy levels right up. _________________ Insert useless signature here -----> |

Best at the supermarket is Illy (an Italian brand). I have a few places around uni I go, especially Lygon Street. As a rule I avoid the big chains, not because of morals etc. but as a rule their baristas generally aren't as well trained as smaller established cafes. Nothing like a good latte, although an espresso if I need a caffeine hit never goes astray. As a rule I drink leaf tea (family drinks a lot of it), it only takes 5 minutes more to brew and is a much better drink. (Manildra?) from Mildura is a good tea. Like their normal blend but also occasionally like Earl Grey. _________________ WELLLINGHAM ROVES IT....AND KICKS THE GOAL!!!!
