Melbourne Coffee Culture — A Quick Guide
If you have just moved to Melbourne or Scoresby, here is what you need to know:
- Flat white is the default — this is a Melbourne invention. Order it with confidence
- No drip coffee — if you want filter, ask for batch brew or pour-over
- Milk alternatives — oat milk is the standard non-dairy option. Most places charge $0.50–$1.00 extra
- Takeaway cup debate — bring a KeepCup. Seriously. Melbourne judges disposable cups
- Tip the barista — not mandatory in Australia, but a buck in the jar gets you remembered
- The 3pm coffee — Melburnians do not stop at one morning coffee. The afternoon pick-me-up is cultural
