MELBOURNE has beaten Rome, Vienna and Sydney in being judged to have the best coffee in the world.
Travel website booking.com surveyed thousands of its users from around the world and found Melbourne was well and truly on top when it comes to coffee.
Barista at Brother Baba Budan Jos Turner said Melbourne baristas take pride in their coffee and it is appreciated by diners and tourists.
“The tourists love Melbourne because our coffee and cafe culture is a part of our lives and is a very unique thing to Melbourne,” Mr Turner said.
“There are many great specialty roasters in Melbourne that consistently strive for excellence and keep pushing us all to be the best we can be and there’s a great sense of community here that can’t be found in many other places around the world.”
It's pretty much because Melbourne is hugely multicultural. We have Starbucks on one corner, a Spanish Coffee cafe on another, then an italian coffee cafe on another.
Their lucky I don't live there, I'd put a couple shops out of business. I'm so
addicted to coffee.
I seriously need to stop with Coffee. I have one before work, like two at work, one after work, one when I get to my house and pass the cafe and that's JUST buying Latte's.
