We can still find bargains at Coles lately, these $24 /kg beans are not going to stay cheap for long

I used to enjoy a 'flat white' Aussie style, but rarely visit cafes anymore. The daily ritual was as much an excuse to get out of the office, back then.
Now it's a pod, ristretto or arpeggio, from a machine, with a shot of soy milk. Maybe 2 a day. ...89c versus $6+
Downside as I'm not having much lactose these days, is that anything milk-based can be a bit turbulent on the tummy.

And I thought $7 for a cappuccino was expensive with weekend surcharge. For $13 it better be good coffee. $7 cappuccino was at a well known cafe in Flinders lane, Melbourne

I wondered why Coles Express stopped the gold coin coffees here locally. $2 for a cup of flat white and wasn't too bad for this arabica coffee lover. Those were nice beans.
Higher prices are gonna quash margins thus, um, adjustments are made.
On a different note.
Found this a little earlier as posted 15 Aug 2025, a coffee alternative from Singapore.
Anyone trialled this yet?
It may have the flavour but what about the other goodies, ergo the volatile compounds that make a great coffee, great?

I found this: "While Prefer’s grounds are caffeine-free, the upside is the ability to add caffeine derived from tea and adjust levels as preferred." (https://esquiresg.com/introducing-bean-free-coffee-brand-prefer/) So no proper native caffeine? I'll think I'll pass...

Ciao Belli cafe Lismore NSW lunch-time, double shot long black mug, heated soy milk on side. Exceptionally well made, true Italiano. Order taken peremptorily but with cold friendless efficiency. Loitered over the coffee, phone scrolling for half an hour, was left alone, table not swept clean as a hint. Charged $5.50. Left a $10 tip for the above but also as a middle finger for judging me an old bum with three day growth, wearing trackies and only ordering coffee. Also you never know in Lismore when you're coming across a sourpuss who has been ruined by the last two floods. Added benefits of a country town: easy free parking, virtually all requirements in walking distance, less alienated populace, clean air ..
We couldn’t be happier for Daniella and Sabrina, who have put their hearts and Italian passion into bringing their beloved cafe back to life.
We're excited to see Ciao Belli thriving again and are so proud they’ve chosen to continue brewing with our beans.
Wishing you all the best on this new chapter

After 2 and a half years of being closed due to the devastating floods that hit the Northern Rivers in Feb 2022, @ciaobellicafe has officially reopened in a brand-new Lismore location.We couldn’t be happier for Daniella and Sabrina, who have put their hearts and Italian passion into bringing their beloved cafe back to life.

I buy coffee beans from a store which has a number of locations in Queensland. For sure it costs more but I am prepared to do that to support small Australian enterprises.

It was expensive crap imo
In the light of such a positive review from a connoisseur, I think I'll give that one a miss.

My Asian 'coffee' memory was the dreaded 3-in-1, which was a sachet of nescafé or equivalent, sugar and dehydrated milk powder.
only for the desperate

during times of hardship, especially WW2, all manner of substitutes were around.
Ersatz coffees are beverages made from roasted grains, roots, or other plant-based materials that are used to mimic the taste and appearance of coffee, often when real coffee is unavailable or unaffordable. They are frequently caffeine-free and can be made from ingredients like chicory, acorns, or roasted grains.
