    The problem is I keep going to Melbourne and State in Australia can match Melb coffees, have you noticed?

    I have not had good coffee in Melbourne so I can't comment.

    Yes- though I wouldn't know if it was the real thing or counterfeit in a packet that just said Luwak since I had it in Ubud Bali. Tasted like really strong crap coffee. I did have it as an espresso shot though

    Just outside of Ubud you can go where they harvest it... on a side note, easy to get good coffee ( not Kopi Luwak) in Bali or Jakarta.

    Try the "Monjava" 'Espresso' pods. They're a SA based group, and make the most acceptable Nespresso pods I've tried. I only drink espresso or long black..

    Monjava is a black and orange box, the IGAs near me have them, I guess most others would too..

    I am liking the Grinders intensity 9 pods from Coles at the moment. Having said that I'm probably not a really coffee drinker- I hate it bitter and like a chocolatey flavour. And I can only do latte/cappuccinos, if no milk or really strong I can't do it.

    A good friend of mine who is very into his coffee (think international barista competition) recommended the Breville Dual Boiler to me as a home coffee machine. We've had it now for 18 months and love it.
