Perth baristas wouldn't know what a good coffee was even if it slapped them in the face. I have to ask for 4 shots to make it taste like an actual coffee.

We're so spoiled in Melbourne.

They've got hard water there too. Unless they're softening it, could affect the taste as well.

Yep, partner and I are very much missing our delicious Melbourne water that we can drink straight from the tap. Almost everyone here has a filter for a reason haha

I think the baristas use too much milk in the coffees they make, to offset the hard water taste.
