big ticks for corner lane - absolute ripperOriginally Posted by skippy
gee whiz on newy prices though, an absolute rort - you'd never get away with the outrageous graft you see in newcastle in sydney. i am flabbergasted at some of the gouging going on
How much is a macchiato going to set me back?
Euro at New Lambton does a pretty good coffee
if you're paying any more than $3 for a macchiato you are getting ripped imo
that being said, australia gouges you for everything.
the italians have the right idea. if yer standing up, espressos, macchiatos etc shouldn't cost more than $1.50, $2 at a push
#1 Coffee would be the ones they serve at the Edgeworth games not because it tastes great but because they have the ticker to take a dump into a blender, liquefy it, heat it up, then sell it to unsuspecting customers as coffee. 5/5.
something something cost of housing something something
OK
I love you like a brother but I'll throw hands for disrespect like this.
Not Maitland's fault. Just don't really fancy heading back up that way unless I install a DG course at Stockade Hill or the WWW.
Anyone tried the "killer coffee" branded beans?
No.
You should all try BOLT roasters. Amazing.
Sprocket Roasters. Support the guys that supported NewyHelps

Pretty good list.
My usual haunts for a quick coffee are The Locale and The Hood. Used to be huge into Corner Lane but found my last few to be a bit hit and miss.
Also, Swell on Llewelyn St is pretty solid. And Bolton Street Pantry.
If only they knew how to make coffee in western Sydney. Can't find anything better than a 7/10 around here, other than a few places in Parra.
I'm probably the inverse of a coffee snob - I drink anything and mostly enjoy it. The only coffee I don't like the taste of is Nescafe Blend 40 whatever, and that's because I've been drinking it every day at work for 8 years now
But I just don't understand coffee snobs, hey. Was with a small crew 2 weekends ago in Charlestown and we were heading into the square. One of the crew announces that there's a coffee shop that is not only the best in the square, but the best in town. We walked all the way to the old section, up the top, and ended up at some place I've already forgot the name of (from memory there was a tree in the logo, or on the shop, or something?). Anyway, the coffee was fine but nothing to rave home about. The guy who made us go there was basically staring at us with every sip, continually asking "how good is this". I've had way, way better from McCafe - McCafe are hit & miss but honestly, some of the coffees I've gotten from there have been sensational.
I struggle to find the motivation to care about particular coffee shops, and every single time I've been recommended from someone to go to a particular place the result is nowhere near the hype.
OK
Apothecary Cafe is now my local for work. Either that or Gloria Jeans...

Totally agree - same crowd who rave about all the different craft beers. TBH I try many coffees in Newy and Sydney - you only remember the crap ones and avoid those places.I'm probably the inverse of a coffee snob - I drink anything and mostly enjoy it.

The temperature is off at McDonald's. Can't make a good coffee for shit.I'm probably the inverse of a coffee snob - I drink anything and mostly enjoy it.

I'm a semi snob. There's some shit places out there.
If you mix cockroach piss and shit in with instant coffee it should taste similar to what you get from a commercial coffee machine.
The only difference is that the instant coffee will save you money.
No amount of cleaning no matter how fastidious can make any commercial coffee machine even remotely hygienic.
No clue when it comes to coffee, I don't drink much and pretty much only instant when I do.
I'm not a craft beer afficionado or anything close - but I think if anyone can't tell the difference between say a VB/New/etc and a pale ale you're kidding yourself. There are definitely beers I much prefer to others when given the choice.
