Brisbane Coffee

Coffee and Brisbane, two words that really don't blend together well (with a few exceptions). Most places seem to either:

A - Not know how to actually pull a shot properly and it ends up burnt to the shithouse half of the time

B - Not know what the actual drink i am asking for is (a Short Macchiato isn't exactly mind blowingly difficult)

C - Have untrained staff who really don't care about the shit that they are handing out.

D - Serve it too hot! I'm sorry but a Macchiato (or espresso shot) should not be served boiling hot.

E - All or any combination of the above.

I suppose if people are having a latte with 10 sugars the burnt taste won't be present but for something like a macchiato it's blatently obvious and disgusting.

The exceptions to the Brisbane rule seem to be:

Cafe Modena (Corner or Creek and Adelaide Streets)
Naked Coffee (Elizabeth Street Arcade)

thats all...
