Why is an espresso with milk called a ‘flat white’ in Aussie and NZ but nowhere else in the world?
For non-Aussies and Kiwi’s, a flat white is an espresso coffee, made with milk (but not as much milk as a latte), and not a lot of foam (so it’s not a cappucino either.) They only seem to be called ‘flat whites’ in Aus & NZ and I’m curious as to why. We also have the ‘short black’ (which anywhere else in the world would be called an espresso) and the ‘long black’ (a tall espresso.) Again – no idea why they’re called these names and I’d love to know why!
The greek guy at the cafe across the road always ‘corrects’ me if I ask for a Flat White. he’s like….”Latte, Latte”, it pisses me off, he should know better. One day I’m going to tell him where to stick his blardy Latte!

Remembering the History of Coffee
When you sit down to sip your freshly brewed coffee every morning, pressing a simple button and waiting for your one cup coffee maker to whip you up your daily dose of caffeine, you probably don’t think about the history of that finely roasted brew you’re drinking. It’s probably such a habit by now you don’t even think about the machine making it.
Your coffee is an afterthought and because of that you might take it for advantage, but try to keep in mind that with over 1000 years of history and billions of dollars in industry, the coffee bean is one of the most beloved natural resources in all of early morning rituals.
The first recorded consumption of coffee is too far back to properly nail down. There is one story of an Ethiopian shepherd who notices the effect of a certain red berry on his flock. He partakes of the berry and is scolded by a local monk, who then takes and uses the berries for the benefit of his order. Another story tells of a group of exiled Arabians who boil and eat the special fruit to survive in the desert. Their survival is taken as a sign and the plant is named for the town, Mocha.
The actual origin is debatable but the effects of those first Arab traders bringing back the plant to their plantations in 1000 AD is indisputable. The world’s first coffee shop opened in 1475 in Constantinople, the first execution over coffee occurred in 1511 (as a local governor attempted to ban it and the sultan had him executed), and in 1600 the Pope baptizes the drink instead of banning it, a show of respect to the Turkish “infidels” they fought in the crusades.
The history of coffee takes it through heads of state the world over, introduced to every new country founded by an explorer and serving as an incredibly powerful industry as Europe began colonization of South America. Coffee’s effect on the world is incredible as more than 70% of the population has at one point or another tasted the morning beverage and a good many of those drink it every day.
Coffee shops are the places of historians and world leaders, construction workers and college students. The soothing qualities of a simple cup of Joe are older than nations, and as you sit and sip your own cup of coffee on a Sunday morning, watching TV or reading the paper, try to remember what those little beans have been through for you.
Why Starbuck coffee popular in NZ but doesnt popular in AUS?
Why Starbuck coffee popular in NZ but doesnt popular in AUS??
Haha sorry but starbucks is as popular/unpopular in New Zealand as it is in Australia.
There are groups who love it and groups who hate it.
NZ has bloody fantastic coffee so the snobbery (justified in lots of ways imo) against starbucks exists here too.
What I would say is that there seems to be fewer starbucks in NZ. Unlike Australia where they are literally on every corner in some places (Melbourne – which surprised me because if there’s one place with great coffee it’s Melbourne) I think they didn’t do that to the same degree here.
So there’s less cannibalising of their customers (eg, if you have one starbucks which caters to 1000 people but then another 3 open bring the total to 4 starbucks, if the total population of 1000 people doesn’t change then each starbucks simply has fewer customers and appears unsuccessful.
Less of this – i think – in NZ.
Visit The Matakana Farmer’s Market This Weekend
If you live near Auckland and are looking for something unique to do this weekend, why not book yourself into a luxury lodge north of Auckland and enjoy a morning at the Matakana Farmer’s Market. This market is a tradition and is well-known around the country for its popularity. Every Saturday from 9am to 1pm, the Farmer’s Market is in full-bloom, filled with locals and growers alike, along with a sparse tourist here and there. Fresh produce, home baked goods and other amazing edibles line the rows of stalls to offer something for just about everyone. Add to that some beer that’s locally brewed and the standard morning coffee, and you can enjoy quite an amazing start your day.
There are plenty of accommodations that consider themselves a luxury lodge in NZ, but not all of them are in close proximity to the local Matakana Farmer’s Market. This is a weekly event that is held in Matakana, just north of the city of Warkworth in the North Island. Whether you are looking for a slice of local daily life, a chance to try some of the freshest, most delicious produce and other fine foods available in the country, or just a weekend away from the city, the farmer’s market is a great addition to your weekend plans.
The Matakana Farmer’s Market has made the list of things to see and do in New Zealand in many different places and for many different reasons. Once the market is over there are plenty of other attractions to entertain you. Of course an advantage of booking into a luxury lodge in NZ is the chance to fully relax and be pampered. Sometimes having a short break away from our busy lives is all we need to re-energise. The beauty of staying at a luxury lodge that is only a few hours’ drive from where you live is that you don’t waste too much time getting there. Upon arrival you then have plenty of time to sit and read or gaze out across the beautiful Matakana scenery.
Hosts of exquisite bed and breakfasts deliver exceptional service and really make all the difference when planning a weekend away compared to staying at a hotel for example. Luxury lodge accommodation in NZ is a great way to enjoy peace and quiet – something that is not always readily available at a busy motel, especially if it is a long weekend. Make your enquiries today and book in a Matakana weekend away.
Premium Coffee: Gourmet Coffee
In our society and culture today, coffee play a really large part. A lot of people can’t go through a stressful day without a perfect cup of Joe. It turned into a preferred brewed drink to help us excite our senses in the morning. Nowadays, it is being enjoyed as a form of relaxation. To unwind, some individuals even partake of a mug of coffee brewed from fresh gastronome coffee beans.
According to the coffee makers internet site, gourmand coffee beans are flamboyance only affluent folk can afford but other coffees are mostly cheap. Theres a big difference between the qualities of a regular coffee from connoisseur coffee.
Gourmet coffee beans are made of the best Arabica coffee beans which have been cultivated and handpicked in different states across the world. It includes nations like Brazil, Ethiopia and Saudi Arabia where the climate is often dry and hot. In reality there are a total of 53 coffee growing nations. The quality of the coffee they produce differs hugely.
This is the reason why there are many sorts of gourmand coffee beans to select from. You can try the following gastronome coffee beans if you like to cosset yourself and spend extravagantly for a cup of coffee.
Kopi Luwak. Is a “must” try for each coffee fanatics because this gastronome coffee beans is truthfully unique and galvanizing. Its origin could be traced to Sumatra, part of Indonesia where common palm civet cats are dominant that eats coffee cherries and pass the partly digested beans, which will be gathered for sanitation and roasting. This gourmet coffee beans costs as much as $50 for a single cup of joe or $200 a pound of the beans. This is little doubt the most high-priced coffee in the world.
Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee. It is cheapest gourmet coffee beans among the luxurious line of coffee beans that costs only $49 a pound. However , when buying it, you have to be extremely cautious as there are tricking brands that sell “mixed” Jamaican coffee that is made of miniscule amount of the authentic Blue Mountain coffee beans. What makes this gourmet coffee beans particular is that it produces a unusually sweet and splendidly intense aroma. Its tastes are nutty and fruity enough that folk who like their coffee creamy and sweet dont need sugar or cream.
connoisseur coffee beans are true indulgence for each coffee lover. They are available at groceries, local cafes and even on the web. For more information on the best coffee to be employed in your Nespresso essenza d90 visit www.coffeemakersguide.org today.
