Melbourne Coffee Culture — A Quick Guide

If you have just moved to Melbourne or Werribee, here is what you need to know:

1. Flat white is the default — this is a Melbourne invention. Order it with confidence
2. No drip coffee — if you want filter, ask for batch brew or pour-over
3. Milk alternatives — oat milk is the standard non-dairy option. Most places charge $0.50–$1.00 extra
4. Takeaway cup debate — bring a KeepCup. Seriously. Melbourne judges disposable cups
5. Tip the barista — not mandatory in Australia, but a buck in the jar gets you remembered
6. The 3pm coffee — Melburnians do not stop at one morning coffee. The afternoon pick-me-up is cultural

How to Find Your Regular

Every Werribee resident needs a regular cafe — the place where the barista starts making your order when they see you walk in. Here is how to find yours:

• Week 1: Try three different cafes near your home or office
• Week 2: Return to the one that got the milk temperature right
• Week 3: Start ordering “the usual”
• Week 4: You now have a regular
