I live as some know in Torquay about 20 mins from Central Geelong in Victoria.
Fortunately they have a great hospital there ( birth of child #5 last week)
Fortunately I do not go there too often!
Unfortunately I had the opportunity to try about 1 dozen different places for coffee over the last week,
not one repeat not on was acceptable on any level, I was shocked to say the least,
I drink short blacks generally and a long black over a meal,
over extracted, under extracted, insipid, weak, bitter, burnt, I have tried so many new ways to drink coffee! unfortunately
none correct!
I got sick of sending them back and ended up ordering cups of tea.
In the end my idea of a god shot was something I could drink!
Last year someone reviewed Geelong as a tourist destination and criticized the quality of coffee in the town as a drawback
for tourism,he was hailed down in a stream of protest! he was however in my experience correct.
Its a shame because the service and food is pretty good most places.(although slow mostly).
(my apologies here to Ken at Pannini cafe in Pakington street I was not in that area and his coffee is worth a visit)
oh well back home to look after the kids
