So, I should state that I don't think I have a very refined or mature taste in coffee…I think I am very average that way. And that's why I liked the French Press so much because, back home, it was a very "forgiving" way to make a decent cup of coffee. I didn't really pay a lot of attention to the type of grind I used, sometimes I would stir it, sometimes I wouldn't, I would always put in boiling water and the coffee usually turned our pretty good. The only item I was picky about was the strength as I didn't like a weak coffee. Apart from that, the French Press has always been an easy, foolproof way to make a cup of coffee.
As far as coffee here Boblam07, I have only had cappuccino/lattes here at the usual suspects - Pacific Coffee (@the peak), Starbucks and McDonalds. In all situtions, the coffee is decent; sometimes good, sometimes pretty bad. There is a CoffTea café here in Kennedy Town that I have tried a few time and their coffees have always been good.
I should also mention that I went to the Nespresso shop yesterday to check out their machines. They offered me a cup of coffee. Cappuccino. I asked for the Arpeggio flavour as I have enjoyed that taste in the past. Verdict: it was a good cup of coffee, much better than what I was able to brew at home but it was not as good as what I remember having over the holidays back home. I think it was the milk they used instead of the cream/milk back home.
