Can you define on the "unusual taste" :question: Like at that price, is he getting cheap "use by" milk :question:
I can't really describe the taste - only it has bean the same since I began going there, around 20 years ago, and it was always $2. I did ask about the price about 8-9 years ago .. and the owner, and old traditional Italian bloke, Sam - said that he owned the building and was doing ok.. and therefore no need to increase the price. It is a family business .. and the same people were working there today. It appears Sam is happy to provide locals with a decent coffee .. and sell beans .. which is all they do. There are other Cafes and food shops selling kebabs etc. I wish they had a Coffee/food mall like this in Werribee. Their house coffee is the Costa Rica, which has a unique flavour .. and not to everyones liking .. however, they have many regulars and provides an outdoor meeting place which has served Coburg's multicultural community extremely well for a very long time. I remember buying some Costa Rica beans back in the day to try out using my coffee machine at the time .. Delonghi or $200 Sunbeam?? .. and remember there was no sign of the flavour they produce using their equipment. * They have their range of roasted Coffee Mio beans on display in the window - in open hessian bags. Not big on storing in a cool dry place in a vacuum sealed container >😃 Probably doesn't matter what they do .. it always tastes the same. 10/10 for price, service .. and consistency. :thumb: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From where I am today .. I'd rate the coffee I had at Sams - 8.3/10 Wonder how I will go? ps. GO Brettmate! Seems a while since I've had a 9.3 or 9.4/10 😢 [Should be a green faced icon - for 'envy'] Last couple of Columbian Excelsos scored 9.1 and 9.15/10 which ended better than I started 😛 Oh .. I'm still trying to figure a way to get Jonty to serve me up with some more of his Ethiopian Yirg or Indian Tiger Mountain which blew me away .. both scoring 9.5/10 I think (Yirg did) Oily buggers .. only they were flappin amazing. They spoilt me .. and anything else doesn't seem to get close. :tear hair: I'm scratching to get out a 9.2/10 these days.
