I'm no barista but I do indulge in the very big coffee culture here in Melbourne. I don't make coffee myself, but I'm fairly well educated on all the techniques employed to make a good coffee.

@GregH, nice synesso you're using there (re: one of your posts earlier on in the thread). Those machines are great!

I think the chocolate on cappucino's is done by some places just as a light sprinkle of cocoa powder over the top, not all places do it though, so I don't think it's an "australian" thing. Also some places do use other ways of extracting coffee, the more common ones I've encountered are the siphon, clover, cold drip and french press.

My understanding is flat white and latte are the same, just that latte has a bit of foam over the top.

Applied some oakwood leather conditioner.

Walking to the post office knowing you've got something delivered, but not knowing which out of the several things you've ordered has arrived - and then finding out it's the one you were hoping for the most.

Peeling off those pore strips and seeing the little dirt things.

Alright, shall just order online then =) thanks!

What?! Where did you get that Miyake knockoff? (The dodecagon faced watch.)

Found it off some random site a year or two ago. Can't quite remember but it's great for everyday use. And yeh.. definitely a Miyake knock.

@DUM I found my dudley improved A LOT more and really quickly just from playing endless battles online. I was practicing lots of setups and combos in practice mode but wasn't able to execute them against a player - and he's much easier on a stick as well, but I guess most chars are.

Lol Benny I swear you've eaten at every single place that has a restaurant license in Melbourne. Gotta get some recommendations from you when I go again, cause the last time I went it was ave places. Lygon is mass overrated.

Really confused me for a sec, but just realised Raw Selvedge is Ben as well. I was thinking maybe I knew you cause I've just moved to Melbourne from Perth not long ago.

Yep, fair call. The one I'm talking about is kinda sandwiched between some thai and indian restaurants. TBH, haven't tried their non-asian flavours. I was just a little disappointed by passionflower cause it was somewhat pricy for what I thought was not particularly spectacular - as a comparison, I got this for only a couple of $$ more than a dessert at passionflower from "Cutler & Co."

It's been amazing exploring melbourne with this.

It was white - 5010xx stains...

Popped a tube riding - so I have a temporary wheel borrowed from a mate.
