To be honest based on your previous posts I don't think you are in a position to offer any comment on coffee culture in Australia because your opinion is so far off the mark.
As for your friends who you were visiting with not being able to show you a place to get coffee except Starbuck's I have no answer.....they weren't by any chance international students where they? Reason I ask is that the only people I ever saw at Starbuck's were international (usually from Asia) students.
I was trying to be nice and let this slide, but I didn't sit well with me.

"• Instant coffee comprises 80% of total sales, with a value at $516 million, though this percentage is declining slowly. "
Obviously, I have no clue of what I'm talking about.
bensyd, before you exclude my opinion of coffee in Australia, perhaps you'd best do some reading. It seems that my opinion isn't off the mark after all or should I take your word over the Australia Coffee Traders Association.
