Coffee

When I was in Chile good coffee was hard to find.. in actual fact it was almost impossible to get a good coffee as they don't seem to know the art of making a good one.. they have La Cimbali coffee machines yet they lack the know how.. and seeing I'm not like garrick, in that I can tell the barrista exactly how to make it (I have never brewed my own)so i just had to survive on tea (I'm a caffeine addict).. so now that i'm in Perth i've been to almost all of my favourite cafes.. I've been drinking coffee like its bottled water!!..


Ashamed to admit this but Starbucks was as good as it got in Chile

Oh the SHAME.. a Starbucks Cup with my name on it..

130s + Cafe Cafe Subiaco.. Nice coffee and a great atmosphere

Ginos in Freo + Just Espresso in Como..

the best cafe in Perth.. Cimbalinos in Dalkeith also one in West Perth notice names on the wall

Rocket fuel.. good coffee if ur in a hurry and milkd is a great place to catch up

Rossos in the city.. Very good coffee but expensive when u have to pay for parking

thanks mate, i needed to remember what good coffee looked like (unfortunately i won't get to remember what it tastes like). despite doing my best to tell the baristas here how to make coffee (un latte corto, con doble espresso- ristretto por favor! pero no muy caliente - ciento-veinte grados mas o menos) it still will always taste like a starbucks effort - i.e. crap (simone ignores my tanty's in starbucks now).

how i miss a flat white from rosso early on a friday morning with rayzo and hardy boy, or 130's every saturday morning with my wife, or cafe cafe most mornings before work, or cimbas on a sunday afternoon.

dont take these places for granted perth!

no worries garrick.. the coffee scene will still be here when u get back and unlike other things it wont change.. much... although i have noticed that certain cafes are now a little expensive but its all good cos the coffee is great..
