greetings from sunny queensland!

well... here i am again on the sunshine coast, where we will be based until the end of the month, and where getting a decent coffee is proving to be... er... baffling to say the least! I mean how can you charge $4 for a cup of java and then serve crap?

thanks to Pioneer coffee i had a bloody great double shot latte at the airport, which I needed to wash down the gloria jeans cup of burned char that i had took one sip of at melbourne airport, before rapidly disgarding...

thankfully the outlaws have a filter system so we've been drinking some decent brew at home, but I'm just not game to touch anything when I go out, as very little seems to make the grade!

I think a trip to Pioneer at Yandina is in order to restore my faith in mankind...

having said that I am considering my next move in the coffee industry so perhaps a relocation to the coast is not out of the question!

watch this space!

cheers and happy (belated) new years!

Pat

PS - we're limited to dial up at the outlaws place so I may only be posting sporadically till the end of the month!

Hey Pat - happy new year! Does that mean you've sold your cafe? Maybe a life of leisure lies ahead for you now! -A 8-)

Hi all. My family lives on the coast as well ,and so did I for a while. I found it quite hard as well to get a decent cup while visiting. I guess people up north are cought in the franchice world , needing education on the subject of coffee. Good luck on your next venture Pat.
