Adelaide CBD, bud. A much needed hit of caffeine.

Yeah, I figured from the photo you weren't actually in an airport terminal...

I've never heard anyone rave about Hudson's Coffee, let alone someone I wouldn't have pegged as a coffee chain customer.

I actually don't mind McCafe coffee. Not the best by a long shot but not the worst either. I was surprised when I had it by its non shitness. McCafe scones on the other hand, give up.

I am probably a B/B- grade coffee snob, but then I don't drink that much of the stuff.

Standard order is just a regular cappuccino. No sugar, don't care what kind of milk, don't care where the beans came from, don't need the person making it to look like Josh Bruce. Etc.

If I have a coffee somewhere and don't like it, I just don't get it there again. No online reviews, no 'coffee in Melbourne is sooo much better'. If the office only has tinned Mild Roast or something then I just won't have any because I don't like it, but I'm not one of those insufferable ****s who does the '*siiiiigh*, we *only* have instant' thing like not having nice coffee is equivalent to doing forced labour down a coal mine. Have survived many working weeks without coffee and will continue to do so. It's just nice to enjoy from time to time AFAIC.

International Roast is about the only coffee I refuse to drink as it's cheap shitty garbage.

I usually drink Nescafe Gold barista style, not that it's any different to the old Nescafe Gold, they've just put barista on it to make it sound fancy.

I don't care what the packaging says, if my taste buds like it, I'll eat/drink it.

I once had a slice of Black & Gold raspberry cheesecake and thought it was amazing. I don't get coffee snobs and their derision of chain coffee houses. Hudson's, Gloria Jeans, even McCafe, make decent brews. I have had better, but the difference isn't all that noticeable. Hudson's Hazelnut Latte cannot be beaten though.

Yep, I said Hazelnut Latte. Try not to get your jimmies too rustled.

Gloria Jeans fund the Christian lobby, so I'm not buying whatever they sell.

Black and Gold or otherwise, raspberry cheesecake sounds horrific, but Coles mudcake (those little round ones they order frozen in bulk and defrost) is the ****.

Chain coffee houses cop shit because of crap like this:

Nobody should be ordering coffee in 20oz (since when did ounces become fashionable?) or larger vessels. That's just a bucket full of water/milk/sugar.

Chain anythings have a mass produced feel, so if you're buying a coffee from a little café you expect that you're going to get something a bit more effort has gone into - even though it's not necessarily going to be good.

Hazelnut latte doesn't sound that bad, depending on the sweetness. Jimmies unrustled.

I also take the opinion that coffee is a staple like hot chips, pizza, steak sandwich etc. It's been around long enough that people shouldn't **** it up. But bad coffee like soggy chips, oily pizza, chewy steak sandwiches still exists.

Honestly thinking you have over an hour left of your flight to go, take out your headphones to begin reading and the captain says "we will be making our descent in about 5 minutes". :thumbsu::thumbsu::thumbsu::thumbsu::thumbsu::thumbsu::thumbsu:

That's a massive tease though 'cause half the time it's another 30-45 minutes before you actually land after that!
 
Oh and don't get me started on the tossers that say make mine extra hot. Last time i checked everyone gets boiling water and boiling milk. How much hotter than boiling do you want it? Tossers. You have to wait until its cool enough to drink anyway. Just stfu and drink your coffee without pretending your all important and shit.

Nah IIRC it was about 20 mins later we landed. We left roughly an hour late due to the fog in Sydney and we touched down right on as scheduled. Got an amazing view of the sunset and then the city in lights.

I do enjoy a good plane landing when there's a view. This time last year landing in Paris at night was pretty awesome!

Actually many places for some reason only serve up luke-warm coffee. It's understandable, though I wouldn't ask for it myself. Coffee is not supposed to be piping hot for risk of the milk burning.
 
I'm sure lovely places like Gloria Jeans and Starbucks can arrange that for you.

Most decent baristas, however :D
