    When I was working and I am about to go back in a couple of weeks. I always got my morning bucket of coffee (extra large) at a place near Spencer Street Station called Minx. It also helped that the barrista was quite nice to look at and remembered my name and order even though I only worked two days a week
    I love a good Latte or Cappuccino. Can't remember which brand they used...I will find out in a couple of weeks Lol!
    I always try and support independant coffee places.

    I usually go to a cafe if it is on the way to work & if their coffee is good, I'll keep going. One brand I prefer is Segafreddo - always have had good coffee when they use that brand

    Yep, I do.

    Ugees, Black Star or Cup in West End (Bris) or Brother Espresso (city/Bulimba) for coffee to drink.

    To make it at home, I don't buy a brand of coffee, I buy the beans from one of those places and grind them myself. I use a traditional stove top espresso maker, but we also have a Chemex and an Aeropresse. Both awesome.

    The Brunswick East Project in Melb is amazing, and Tre Bicchieri in Carlton North. Can't think where else off the top of my head.

    I've never been much of a coffee drinker until about a month ago, now I have a daily coffee. I make mine at work though. I have a grinder which lives in my desk drawer. It's become my morning ritural. Making my own coffee and then enjoy it while I read my emails and eat my breakfast at my desk is just my little indulgence.

    When we came to Melbourne in July there was an awesome coffee shop on Albert St in East Melbourne called funnily enough- Cafe on Albert St and they made the BEST coffee I have ever had. It was called Willy's and was obviously a pretty small brand . I can't wait to come back and go there again- the food was fantastic too.
    I find the barista makes a difference too- we buy coffees at the cafe down the road from work and can tell if the usual lady doesn't make it cause she is better than the owners LOL

    I love Java coffee, it's available at lots of places (and it's fair trade, which makes me feel better about drinking so much of it )
