been going there since I was a kid when my mum introduced me to it. My mum used to work at the top end of collins street and has known it since the late 50's ....a real institution....

whenever I'm in town I have to go there for a couple of macchiato's too!

have a look at this then:

temperature control made easy for pretty much any machine... I've been considering it for my Silvia for about a year now and not done it yet...

what a great idea i will look into them seriously, will keep you posted thanks for the info

Wow now this post is something different,
what a great mob of connoisseurs. From all over.

For those interested, and that pm'd me when i do the replies i''' let you know what I am up to and can organise.

As far as the local scene goes, I am not a major player, we just have a wide circle of friends and word of mouth goes a long way. We are happy doing it that way.
As small as the local market is, it is still cut-throat.
Roasters advertise as roasters but won't roast if you don't sell to them, others won't roast if you plan on selling, just in case you sell against them. The list goes on.

Anyway back to the topic,
Echidna has some interesting points on the new machines, adjustable temperatures, personally I would love one of the machines we came across when we were in italy 18 months ago ( didn't get the names,let alone hte operating temp) the temp was low, so you didn;'t get a mouth scarring on the first sip. As you do in some places here.

I used to think that too until I was introduced to real coffee about five or six years ago.
I've loved the aroma since I was a kid, but was a confirmed tea drinker until I had the good stuff.
