    14 Reasons Australian Coffee Culture Cannot Be Beaten

    We got 99 problems but Starbucks ain't one.

    1. Aussies know that local coffee is the only coffee.

    2. So most of us are loyal to just one place.

    3. Which kind of explains why Starbucks has been such an epic failure around here.

    4. Because Melbourne has been voted as having the best coffee in the world.

    5. But apparently Adelaide is our coffee capital.

    6. So there's no better place to be for International Coffee Day.

    7. Or for the Melbourne International Coffee Expo.

    8. But every day in Australia is a great day for coffee.

    9. Because the flat white was invented in Australia and New Zealand.

    10. And if we're being honest, you'll be hard pressed to find a bad cup of coffee in any major city.

    11. Every cafe is sassier than the last.

    12. Which is why we don't mind paying $4 for a cup.

    13. Because we might live on a giant island in the middle of nowhere...

    14. But we're damned if we can't brew the best coffee you've ever tasted.
