I've recently discovered we grow our own coffee here. I'm going to order some next time I'm out.

I'm leaning towards either Zentveld or Bun Coffee

Has anyone tried any local coffee? I'd love to hear your recommendations.

When I was grinding my own (when we were on two incomes) I used to buy Bula coffee out of Fiji

Did you end up getting some? I bought a bag of Zentveld last year as a gift. It was the "Pacific Blend", so not entirely Australian, but I figured PNG is close enough, and the social mission thing for women in PNG seemed legit (and frankly made for better optics with the recipient).

I don't consider myself to have a particularly discerning palate but I quite liked the flavour -- definitely better than the cheap supermarket stuff.

I did actually!

And I’m in the same boat, I can’t discern what is good. I know it wasn’t bad, but I don’t have some fancy setup and for the effort it’s better to walk down the street to one of the many local cafes, which does a better job than I ever will.

I've had Jaques Coffee as a standard on the rotation for a few years now. They're onto something there. Plus it feels nice to know that my coffee has crossed a huge fuck-off desert, rather than a huge fuck-off sea 😂
