[–] RustyRaven@aussie.zone 9 points 3 years ago (1 child) There is a new coffee community that has just been created. I believe as Melbourneans we need to make sure we go and add our collective coffee wisdom. permalink fedilink source hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] 6368_39162@lemm.ee 6 points 3 years ago (5 children) Fetch your pitchforks, I don’t drink the stuff permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 10 child comments replies: [–] RustyRaven@aussie.zone 8 points 3 years ago We'll just keep that quietly to ourselves here.

It turns out I just hadn't tried good coffee (espresso). There are so many ways to have coffee too.. I did a bit of experimenting, started out with lattes with a couple of sugars and moved on to stronger brews over a few months. I'm not pounding triple shot long blacks or anything but I do love me a nice cup of Joe these days. Never ever touch instant coffee. I'm not even sure how people call that stuff coffee. I also thought beer was disgusting until I was 26. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] 6368_39162@lemm.ee 5 points 3 years ago (1 child) Rather like that coffee icecream with the choc almonds in it permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Mittens_meow@aussie.zone 1 point 3 years ago* Coffee gelato is my go to.
