Melbourne coffee guide

[chartres]

So is the subject out yet?
On the website it appears as if the guide is being sold already. Anyone saw it anywhere in the shops? I dont know even why I am so interested, I have my favourite spots sorted out, but just out of curiosity I guess...

Re: Melbourne coffee guide

I cant say I take too much notice of the beans scale, as theres some (in the Sydney edition anyway) that get a heap of beans and you couldnt pay me to have coffee there, then theres others that i rank as pretty much the best in Sydney, and they get squat.

They would have been reviewed with Mark at the helm...

Nar KK....did you fail geography? Brisvegas is up North and Melboune is located just above the map o Tassie ;D

Re: Melbourne coffee guide

So because Brisbane doesnt have a coffee guide, does that mean that theres no good coffee up north? hahaha

Re: Melbourne coffee guide

Im very glad that they decided to give a separate score for coffee as well as for the cafe. I have only had a brief skim of the book, but it looks like this made it a lot easier for them to give credit where credit was due.

Cheers,
