Melbourne is the coffee capital of Australia. In addition to the extremely high level of coffee beans, famous cafes such as Seven Seeds and Brother Baba Budan have also settled in the second largest city in Australia. Boutique manor coffee and Italian coffee are available. When coffee lovers plan a coffee trip to Melbourne, it must be worthwhile to plan a coffee trip. Here are the Australian coffee bean shopping spots and cafes that I often go to.

Where to buy Australian coffee beans:

McIvers @ Victoria Queen Market

Location: enter from the entrance opposite McDonald's, there is a Tea & Coffee shop, which is the one.

Coffee beans: from Papua New Guinea (PNG), Africa, Central and South America. If you don't know which one to buy at first, it is recommended to buy PNG or Cuban beans first. When you buy it, you can tell them what the cooking utensils are and ask them to help you grind it.

Seven Seeds

Melbourne's very famous cafe, many places use their beans, I have bought Colombian coffee, light roasted, slightly sour soft, silky smooth, is very atypical Colombian beans, live up to the reputation of Seven Seeds.

Location: 106114 Berkeley Street, Carlton. Take Tram19/59 from Elizabeth St to Stop 9 Hayamarket

Official website: http://sevenseeds.com.au/

Coffee beans: 250g about $15-25. I seldom come here to buy, because it is farther and more expensive.

The difference between Melbourne coffee beans and Taiwan coffee beans

Compared with the boutique coffee beans with special emphasis on the personality and flavor of coffee, the coffee beans in Melbourne are elegant without losing their personality and flavor, reflecting the Victorian cultural capital of Australia. If you are tired of putting too much emphasis on flavor beans in Taiwan, you can buy similar coffee beans in Melbourne to experience the balance of personality and elegance.

In other words, Taiwan coffee beans are the icing on the cake, while Melbourne coffee beans tend to provide timely help (Taiwan's mediocre beans have more distinctive flavor in Australia; Taiwan's beans with strong personalities are more balanced in Melbourne).

Melbourne Cafe Tour:

The following cafes are all famous cafes in Melbourne, each with different characteristics and are well worth visiting. Compared with Taiwan's cafes, which are open until night, the following cafes are open early, but only open until 5 p.m., it is recommended to confirm the business hours on the official website first. Melbourne has very few options for drinking coffee in the evening. I have also traveled to Melbourne with a group. I always go out to the cafe after six o'clock in the morning, go in at seven o'clock, have a cozy cup of coffee and then return to the hotel before eight o'clock.

Seven Seeds

All the coffee is good. If you must drink Long Black, Cold Drip (ice droplets) or Ice Coffee, you can come here, these three kinds of coffee are easy to step on mines in other places. The brewing method of individual coffee will be changed frequently, but they will only be brewed in one way that day, and Campos will provide 2-3 kinds.

Entrance to Berkeley Street

The decoration of the bar area and Melbourne Cafe is quite simple, and the space of Seven Seeds is very spacious and bright.

Brother Baba Budan

Address: 359 Little Bourke Street, Melbourne

Features: this one has the same system as Seven Seedsg, my most frequent cafe, because it is right in the city center and the staff is very friendly. The storefront is small and serves only simple desserts and no dinner, so people who come here come here for coffee and do not encounter people who come in groups to eat. It's a great choice for people who just want to have a comfortable cup of coffee and not be disturbed by others. I love the Cappuccino here.

Dead Man Expresso

Address: 35 Market Street, South Melbourne. Take Tram 112th to Stop 127York St

Features: this store is also small, serving simple breakfast and lunch, but I mostly only drink coffee. South Melbourne this area is quite leisurely, not as crowded and noisy as downtown, if you want to find a place for a quiet cup of coffee, you can come here, there is a great latte.

Campos Coffee

Address: 144Elgin Street, Carlton. Take Tram 1 Elgin St;Tram 8 to Stop 112 Elgin St;Tram 96 to Stop 15 Elgin St (to go a long way)

Features: the storefront is not large, but each seat is quite spacious, and there will not be many people. It is a good place with clean and quiet windows. I've had Long Black,Cold Drip and other ordinary coffee, which are good and won't step on land mines. There are also Central and South American and African beans sold here, which are cheaper than Seven Seeds. I have only bought Costa Rican beans once. Compared with the mediocrity of Costa Rican beans in Taiwan, the flavor here is much more obvious.
