A coffee trip to Melbourne

Melbourne's booming coffee culture has made it famous as Australia's "coffee capital". Fashionable coffee shops are scattered all over the city, while Melbourne's spacious streets are especially good places to explore mysterious coffee houses that are popular with locals.

On the edge of the city, there are also several famous coffee streets in Richmond, St Kilda, Fitzroy, South Melbourne (South Melbourne) and Prahran (Prahran), each with its own characteristics.

Coffee first entered Australia from the sea in 1788, but at that time the quality of coffee was not high. Until 1950, with the influx of European immigrants, high-quality espresso (Espresso Coffee) was introduced to Australia. With the introduction of espresso machines, coffee shops have rapidly gathered and developed in Melbourne's CBD and the shopping district on the edge of the city, and coffee has become the drink of choice for many Australians. According to statistics, the average Australian consumes 2.4 kilograms of coffee a year, compared with 0.6 kilograms 50 years ago.

Lygon Street Street, located in Carlton, is the Italian center of Melbourne and the birthplace of the city's famous coffee culture. In 1950, it was an Italian coffee shop on this street that introduced Melbourne's earliest espresso machine. Today, scholars and students from the nearby University of Melbourne often gather here to chat while tasting espresso, macchiato and latte, while shoppers can enjoy Taobao in a variety of nearby shops.

Many Melbourne coffee shops have a "Barista". The word "Barista" first appeared in Italy, where we call it "barista", a word that was unknown a few years ago but is now part of the vocabulary in Melbourne coffee shops. Some espresso shops pay extra to hire qualified baristas because they are proficient in how to make top-grade coffee with the same taste in a short period of time.

Stroll through downtown Melbourne and walk into famous coffee shops like Quists. Quists, the oldest barbecue restaurant in Melbourne, has grown since 1938 and prides itself on displaying old machines at that time. There are 16 different varieties of coffee sold here, as the valiant Napoleon the Great said, "food comes first", without lattes, mochas and cappuccinos. Melbourne cannot be called Melbourne.

Another famous coffee spot is Brunetti at the corner of Swanston Street and Flinders Lane. The flagship Italian store is located in the Carlton district, where coffee is on a par with delicious desserts and Italian hot chocolate with thick syrup.

There are also great cafes on the outskirts of Melbourne, including Cafe Racer in St.Kilda Marine Parade. Regular races are held there every weekend, and cyclists of all ages gather there for coffee, breakfast and delicious lunch, and stroll along the beach.

Like a tranquil harbor, the coffee shop in Melbourne is the best place to taste delicious coffee and enjoy roadside fashion catwalks.
