Hi guys,
I am a frenchman (I know it is bad
) I am a complete coffee lover. I would be interested if you guys could answer to some questions. I am curious to know more about how Aussies do appreciate and know about coffee (here in France, we often talk about australian people that are mad about coffee)
Is it true that Australian people are loving coffee? Is it a part of your culture? Or is it only for a small part of the population, a kind of elite?
In other world; are Aussies "connoisseur"? Do they appreciate coffee and make a difference between mainstream coffee and gourmet coffee? Are they really able to talk and hear about flavour, savor and aromas?
Is it true that we can find a lot of roasters/coffee shops in almost every streets? Is there lots of places for drinking excellent coffees? Is it true that we can buy good italian espresso machines and quality grinders in every supermarket? Do people own such (expensive) expresso machines and grinders? do they roast by themselves frequently?
If this is true, is it relevant comparing Australian coffee passion with our (as french) wine culture: I mean, you probably know that for us wine is very important, much more than a drink but a major part of our culture like cheese or gastronomy. I mean for most of us drinking wine is a kind of ritual, a social act shared with almost everybody. So could this be compared with coffee for you?
Last, if all of this is true, could you please tell me if it is a new recent culture (by new I mean less than 10 years) or if it is a much older one?
Sorry if I bothered you with all these questions, but it sounds sooo strange for me. I cannot imagin a population with a coffee culture. I would definitively like to know what is urban legend, myth and what is true and real.
Thank you very much for decypering my english and reading me!
Best
