Coffee & Coffee Place Reviews

Dogs are probably cleaner than the chopping boards.

i love dogs, i have an awesome labrador myself

just dont wanna eat breakfast with them

[johntheclaret]

A few of the boys had ‘breakfast’ at a Swedish Tart’s at Semaphore before our game on Saturday. 10/10

That would explain why they were knackered by the end of the 1st qtr

Had breakfast and coffee on the way down to Compass this morning at Third Time Lucky on Henley Beach Road, Lockleys.

Pretty trendy joint. The scrambled eggs were good but needed a fair bit of salt and pepper.

The coffee was really good. Its annoying that all the best places are out of my way for the morning commute.

~ food was served on a plate
~ no dogs were present

Coffee in bowls, dogs around food shitting all over the joint, no thanks

Throw in an eggs benny with packet ham and you've got the worst breakfast imaginable

I probably should have mentioned the dogs were at the outside tables. They dont let them in.

I love making coffee for people in my jib using an expresso machine. It was a bit daunting for me at first as I'd never drank coffee in my life and my work doesn't have a temperature guage for the milk (so we go by feel) and doesn't have a button for set amounts of espresso shots both of which I was trained with originally. (And my Mum and missus only drink instant)
I've only ever had to make hot chocolates, flat whites, lattes and cappuccinos so far. What are peoples hints/gripes for these and what other coffees should I train up in to make?
Cheers!

Get a temp gauge for the milk.
Milk has to be spot on otherwise cappuccinos and lattes especially taste terrible.

Yeah I might do that. I love the fact that there's a real art to making a good coffee, a lot harder than pouring a beer!
Cheers for the advice!

This actually makes a lot of difference

Well behaved dogs at the outside tables are fine imo

That'd be a thermometer.

That goes without saying............doesn’t it?
Surely no place allows dogs inside?

Agreed, temp is essential for consistency.

The other thing I would recommend is getting a good conical grinder and grinding fresh

You can experiment with different sizes and tamping pressures too - finely ground and tightly packed means the water will take longer to move through the coffee and it will be stronger and more bitter

Large granules and loosely lacked it will be thin and watery and no cremer

Sheik would prefer it the other way around as he usually eats outside to have a choof.

We do have a grinder and grind them fresh.

I think I've got the tamping pressure down pat after initially packing them too tight.

Not over here thankfully but it’s still rife in other parts of the world

I thought it was implied. By the looks of things, people thought I meant inside.
