Melbourne’s coffee
Famed for having some of the world’s best coffee, Melbourne’s roasters and baristas are some of the most accomplished and innovative in the world.
Melbourne’s love affair with coffee can be traced back to the arrival of Italian and Greek immigrants after World War II. With the years, Melbournians have come to expect the highest quality in their cup, and it’s become a daily routine for many Australians to head to their favorite local cafe in the morning and fuel up with a perfectly poured cup of coffee. Melbourne is said to have more cafes per person than any other city on the planet. Being one of the first places to embrace specialty coffee, locals are accustomed to cafes involved in all steps of the supply chain and want their coffee beans to be fair trade and freshly roasted.
