Love this. I’m happy to pay more for a really good coffee. The problem is when you get a bad one - that’s now a lot of money wasted. Keen to try your recs now!
There's such a wide range of taste preferences that it's inevitable that you'll find a disappointing experience somewhere. Price isn't always a good proxy for quality, but it can certainly be a helpful guide at times. EG Coffix is very cheap and is not good. But Z is also cheap and is really good (they use specialty coffee so their 'cheapness' is more a reflection of their own business scale). It's the same with music too - nothing worse than buying an album only to find all but one song sucks!
I love that analogy! I have never even considered buying a coffee from Z. I usually go on reviews, or return to my faves. Up here we have Anastasis who makes some of the strongest possible coffee - it's too strong for me, but his organic blend is very nice.
I hear builders go in and order a 'cocaine' - it's literally four shots of black coffee.
I'll have to try that spot next time im up! Auckland has so many killer spots - Daily Daily on K Road has to be my favourite. And a quad shot would make my heart explode.
So well said! 🧡

That might kill me.
