  1. Carpe Diem Black Reverse Calf 6 Hole Work Boots. Carpe Diem boots are some of the most well constructed and subtle boots no longer available. Rare to see these pop up, don't miss your chance to own a piece of history.

    Really nice worn in condition. The soles have been vibramed front and heels, but could probably use new front rubber added. Original soles still in excellent condition.

    - Measurements -

    Outsole - 12.5 inches

    Height - 7 inches

    Heel - 1 inch

    PLEASE MAKE OFFERS AROUND $1000

  2. favourite spots are Seven Seeds (BBB & Clieu), St Ali (outpost, etc), Dead Man, Market Lane, Proud Mary, Cup of Truth... yet to go to Auction Rooms, as I'm never in North Melbourne, but heard it's excellent

    To be honest I'm not that impressed with places like 3 bags full, APTE and their other cafes, a bit too family friendly if you know what I mean.

    this is out of date now, and missing cafes, but some background on places:

  3. Which Intelligentsia location or locations did you hit...it'd be a shame if you visited the one I work at, and we didn't get a chance to geek out on superfuture AND coffee stuff.

    Went to the city Chicago location, didn't have much time to check out many spots in LA. I had mixed feelings about LA, but I need to go back and hang out with locals, rather than try to entertain ourselves.

    I've served/talked to many Aussies and they tend to agree when it comes to milk based drinks (lattes) that they have it better at home. I'd have to disagree when it comes to cappuccinos (I've been told numerous Aus cafes serve them with chocolate??? wtf??) and I've also been told that drip coffee rarely exists down under...by drip I'm talking chemex/clover/siphon/pour over etc. not nasty burnt brewer sludge, I could be wrong..shed some light?

    oh and down there it's flat white not latte correct?

    Yeah Australian coffee culture is all about milk coffe drinks, but with a recent surge in quality 3rd wave places, drip, clover, siphon, and the likes are becoming more popular.

    In the US, the only difference I noticed between a latte and a cappuccino was the size of the cup, but here a cappuccino is around coffee, 1/3 steamed warm milk, 1/3 frothy milk, with a sprinkle of cocoa on top. It's served in a ceramic cup with a handle.

    A latte is similar with 1/3 coffee, mostly steamed warm milk, then letting about 1cm of foam sit on the top. It's served in a "latte glass" (glass, no handle)

    A flat white (in melbourne at least) is basically a latte served in a cappuccino cup.

    Espresso machines rule most cafes, LMs, Hydras and increasingly Slayers are pretty common, but more and more you see the fancy equipment, like clovers, siphons, etc.

    I've been cutting my own hair for almost 3 years, no idea what to do with it. It's basically an exaggerated emo cut (shorter back, fringe past my chin) always combed back suggestions?
