Cheapest Coffees in Melbourne CBD 2018 Edition

Talos2005 on 25/10/2018 - 14:12

Hi All;

Getting sick of paying $4.50 for decent coffee. Does anyone know where to get good coffee for around the $3 or lower mark. 7/11 Need not apply.

Thanks.

    Does a sample at nespresso count?

    For $1, what is wrong with 7/11 coffee? I have had worse for $4.50

      Tried it, and it wasn't to my liking.

      I love it… The price adds to the taste. McCafe do literally the worst coffee out there and seem to get away with a $4.50 price tag. I think if you are going ti rate 7/11 coffee you have to rate it against the other $1 alternatives, you cant say, I dont like 7/11 and I would rather buy Campos. Not an apples for apples comparison.

    Good idea to start this discussion OP. I am also keen on knowing this.

    There is 1 cafe outside Southern Cross station on Collins St that sell small $2.50 latte's of decent quality.

    It's this one: http://www.perkup.com.au/

      Used to be $2. Now they're price gouging…

    I don't know if they are still doing it
    Barista by Vue were doing $1 coffees BYO cup.

    5 senses coffee, so its decent.

    Are you flexible and mobile? Hey You promotes specials some cafes run each week and there are sometimes $2 ones and other pricing points.

    • Talos2005 on 25/10/2018 - 15:56

      I use Hey You on occasion but have never seen any discounts to coffees?

        Activate/check your emails.

    Coffee is a very subjective thing though; what one person likes, and thinks is a good price for the quality, another person will have an opposing view.
    For example, someone this morning ordered a cappuccino with honey - they obviously like that but I couldn't personally think of anything more disgusting.

    There are so many places, obviously, doing coffee in Melbourne; some are espresso machine based, with others doing single-origin specialty-grade pour-overs, etc.

    Pretty flexible.
    Just read that Barista by Vue only did the $1 coffee as part of it's opening special. But that is a good deal all the same…

    We cycle this thread in the beginning of warmer seasons?

    Is DIY an option? Like plunger or aeropress? Obviously doesn’t have the same taste as barista coffee, but definitely cheaper.
