Try try the best coffee in Melbourne right here

In Melbourne, people line up for their coffee.

I would absolutely rather abstain than drink crap coffee

And if I take a sip of a coffee and if I take a sip of a coffee and it's not

made right, bin straight away!

Luckily, we're totally spoilt for choice here.

You know anywhere in Melbourne I can kind of pick the specialty coffee place within

a kilometre to get to so.

I think this place is cool because it's run

by a social entrepreneur. It runs as a normal business and the profit gets sent back to

where the alcohol comes from. They have Mexican beers. They have Cuban rums all that sort

of stuff. So, yeah, social entrepreneurship. It's business with a cause not business for profit.

I would say a vast vast majority of people

would drink a milk-based coffee, espresso or latte.

Uhm, but there are a lot more people experimenting with and enjoying filtered coffee. Especially

with single origins and blends suited for filter. I think it's just testament to Melbournians

generally having a curious palette. So espresso generally you're talking about

different lengths of the shot and different ways that you can put the milk in. Basically,

we're looking at a 30ml shot and you go from there.

With filter styles, there's a few different ways to brew filter. You're probably looking

at a pour over, aero press, vacuum pot or syphon, and then my favourite kind of filtered

coffee is cold drip. And all it does is it requires a slightly different roast in the

coffee. So I would say slightly controversially slightly lighter roast.

Cold water in the top. Coffee in the middle drips through collected in the bottom here.

Ah and eight hours later you've got a gorgeous brew here. You are drinking cold black coffee

but if you can reconcile that it's a beautiful flavour.
