I’ve seen your different types of coffee. I spent 6 months in the states, all over. I had ONE good coffee in all that time. Went to thank the Barista - and she was Australian.

Wouldn't you know it, I've been all over Europe and they don't make it quite like I do at home either.

So what's this Australian secret coffee? If you don't tell me I know another Australian I can press.

I’m not from Australia. Coffee where I am is stronger and we don’t sell anything over a 12 ounce cup. Normal sizes are 6 or 8 ounce. Some short strong coffees are 2-4ounce, even with milk.

It’s not so much how they make it, it’s more that it’s so watered down with milk or flavourings. And wtf is that creamer stuff. I’ve never seen it anywhere except the US and Japan.

The creamers and syrups are very weird. Some people here are passionate about them too. It's always a mixed bag when someone says they're picky about their coffee.

My go-to is a big pour over, maybe 15g of coffee and 500mL of water. Of course, being American, I measure everything with plastic spoons from McDonalds instead of a scale. I like espresso too, but I'm not big on lattes. Generally no cream, sugar, or anything added.

On the other end of the spectrum is diner coffee. Usually strong but stale. It's not my favorite but it has a special place in my heart.

If you ever do meet an American coffee snob ask them what they like. We have a whole variety of them.
