Hi Brett Best bet from an almost local is Cleanskin /Saint coffee at Brendale. La Marzocco GB5 & Mazzer Roburs on the bench. No Food but good coffee.

Thanks mate... Advice greatfully received and passed on. I will be driving through the north side occasionally in the coming weeks so will try to sample also.

I'll be heading over to Bezzera sometime this week if all goes to plan for a same-day service of my '09. It means I need both good coffee nearish to Coopers Plains, hopefully somewhere that has free wi-fi so I can get some work done while I wait. I also need to trek over to Keperra (might be better to do it on my way up from the Sunny Coast) to pick up my ultra-cheap pot set for the KKTO, so I guess I could also go to anywhere in between to hang for most of the day. Any recommendations for those two locations?

I still think that the best, most consistent coffee can be found at my place!! Coffee Secrets Tokyo blend made on my Simonelli with Barambah organics milk - heaven. But if heaven is closed I like to go to Elixir - even though they can sometimes be a little inconsistent.

Campos was in the top 5 of the last Crema review You should give them a try if a chance presents itself Brisbane's Best Cafes 2011 judged on their coffee: 1. Cup Specialty 2. Dandelion & Driftwood 3. One Drop 4. Campos 5. Bunker KK

I can recommend Hamptons Home Living for coffee and breakfast. 80 Latrobe Terrace Brisbane QLD 4064 Barista Ben, former part owner of One Drop is working there, using St Ali beans. Well worth the visit IMOP

Quite surprised to see Bacano not get a mention here. My pick as the best coffee in the CBD and is definitely worth a visit if your in town. Some others worth a mention are Shucked and Divisione Tecnica both at newstead.

Cup specialty coffee and bunker would be two of my favorites .. followed by One Drop and Dandelion and Driftwood. There are others around but these guys are the most consistant in quality. Almost forgot Campos .. I try to get there at least once a month.

I was amazed at the Bunker... Not sure what coffee they are using now, but on more than one occasion when I have been. I have had great shots. Yet I have had poor shots from many other places using the same supplier and almost come to expect a less than ideal cup from that supplier. Then again, we all know that while the bean is a good proportion of the cup the person pulling the shot can always make a mess of the best beans.

Bunker very recently switched to 5 Senses beans .. I am heading there tomorrow morning as a matter of fact.

What time..... !!!!! I have to drop of the border at the Queensland Ballet at West end about 8:30 / 9:00 So could always try to catch up... Also an opportunity to see what the Bunker can do with a different bean :coffee2:

I'll be there around 8ish

I was at Bunker last week after hearing they switched to 5 senses. Vast improvement IMOP but I think Black Star roast a bit dark for me. They have 2 grinders running the Dark Hoarse blend I think as the house blend and a Yirgcheffe in the second grinder when I was there. I had to try both of course, and will be frequenting there more often now, as often as I can anyway

The Yerg was nice as a piccolo, but I do tend to like a heaver hit...

And here I am thinking you don't like African beans AM :rofl: I'm surprised you had it

Wife and I didnt want to drive to the city to any of the majors. Stumbled upon Simply Beans on Logan Road past Garden City. Joe Anapo has a Dietrich Roaster in a little boutique set up. He made me the best doppio ristretto I've had .. Like ever ...! Seriously! He also asked if I wanted 50ml or 30ml before grinding!!! This shot didnt come from a Slayeror a Sneezey!!! My wife's affogato was received with a gasp of delight (Martini glass) from all and sundry, and tasted spectacular. This is a lovely and passionate guy who has opened his own dream little shop and his results are spectacular. Not a compromise in sight. Someone pinch me and tell me it was all a dream. QUEENSLANDER!
