OP, I think Vietnamese/Greek/Italian are a huge proportion of Australia and those groups all know good coffee. I think there are also like 200,000 Turkish people there? So yes, lots of good coffee.

its the fresh spring water we use to brew it, and the Meth we lovingly mix in amongst our organic fair trade beans for you the customer.

The electricity used to heat the water is produced by burning coal. It really makes a flavor difference.

New Orleans has chicory as a flavor enhancer for coffee; we have dried wombat shite.

Aussie baristas are hotter than their counterparts elsewhere. And their water is better.

Starbucks has bombed in Australia, and badly. I think that they had a 2.5% share of the market. Aussie coffee houses rule. Starbucks has a nasty aftertaste.

I once saw in here a thread about “Indicators that someone is pretentious” and one of the responses was buying coffee from Starbucks.
Only in the USA would Starbucks be considered anything other than swill.

We take it really seriously, to the point of an Australian winning barista of the year about 4 years ago. I looked for a June 2020 best coffee in Melbourne CBD article to give a sense of how much people care. Beans are the key thing, they completely define the experience, but even hyped places can have too milky drinks or have bland beans.
In short, I’ll drink Starbucks espresso when I’m overseas if there’s no other option as I’m realistic about caffeine headaches but it’s not good coffee. It tastes burnt.

Starbucks is disgusting. They don't make good coffee at all. McDonalds and Dunkin Donuts make much better coffee if we are talking about giant chains. And what's worse are all those nasty sugar bombs they call "coffee" that are basically just deserts.

Ok I would never think of Australian coffee as good. Yes Melbourne has pretty little lanes, but it just does *not* have a good coffee cultcha.

Is it true Starbucks went out of business in Australia because it couldn’t compete ?

Starfucks over estimated their growth potential in the 2000s, aggressively opening dozens of stores half of which closed 5 years later. They are still around today in smaller numbers, still expanding, but more slowly. They have recently branched into some supermarket pre-made coffees lines, roasted beans and mugs, perhaps to better gauge who their buyers are.
They really have no chance of gaining a huge share of the market here, people are fiercely loyal to their local barristers and enjoy their European notions that coffee shops should be romantic and individualised.

Koalas are fed coffee beans and they poop them out and their digestive juices changes the coffee flavor much in the same way civet poop coffee is prized for its nasty flavor.
Of course, the best Australian poop coffee comes from Helen Reddy's butt. You would think it would be Nicole Kidman's butt but there was some kind of interaction with the botox and instead of coffee we got the movie "Australia."
Sometimes you just shouldn't mess with nature, know what I mean?

People who like good coffee don't drink Starbucks, unless they prefer the flavored sweetened crap.

Is there a good brand of Aussie coffee you can get in the US? I'm curious now.

Australian coffee comes largely from Vietnamese coffee which are universally considered the worst beans grown anywhere, but they are cheap.
So if you think Australian coffee is good, then you're either just used to it, or you have a weird sense of what is good.

They triple the price and serve it with an accent, and cut off half the words they utter to you in this process.

I thought that it was from Africa. Like coffee consumed in Europe. North America gets its coffee from South America, right? Which is why it’s not so strong?

Australia has been growing its own coffee for a couple of years in North Queensland and a couple of other locations, going from just a few acres to around 600 tonnes per year. The farmers have embraced crops like coco and truffles and grapes that are not "supposed" to grown down under and are getting excellent results too.
