After the old forum software breaking in a way that we were unable to fix, we've migrated the site to a new platform.
Some elements aren't working as we'd hoped - some avatars didn't survive the transition, and we're still having issues with attachments that weren't added as inline images, but we're hoping to have that all sorted out soon.
First, and definitely last, visit..........
Tonight, while waiting near Brisbane airport, I decided to try a coffee from somewhere I hadn’t been before. :-X
After ordering, I was distracted by something on my phone and looked up in time to see the barista dip/scoop the group handle/portafilter into an open container of pre-ground coffee! Who knows how old and stale it was??? At the time I was there (half a hour before closing), it could have been hours.
I suppose I should have walked away but had prepaid so said nothing. Decided to vote with my feet and not return.
My usual cafe would never ever do this, always grinding fresh as I guess most cafes would.
I’m guessing the container was excess coffee from overground doses levelled off from portafilters.
Still scarred, 3 hours later. Urghhh.
PS. Tasted pretty ordinary as well..........

Lucky you don't live in Noosa ! There is some dectent coffee around but you really need to hunt to find it! The other day I went to a place on Hastings Street and watched them put one cup under one spout and leave the other to drain into the drip tray, which might not be so bad in isolation, buy the split all of their shots into 8oz takeaway, giving you effectively 40ml yeild from say, 9 to 11gm of coffee (shudder) unless you want to pay an extra 50c for a 'double shot' of coffee brining the price of an 8oz cup on regular milk to $5 - which I don't begrudge paying for am amazing coffee, but I do for an inferior one!
