O for a beaker full of the warm South

I miss Australian coffee. Those little latte glasses filled with delicate brown and white froth. And the cups of flat white, still frothy on the top but with more substance underneath. And the artful patterns etched into the surface.

And having the mornings free to savour them. And a groovy Melbourne cafe to savour them in. And a handsome man to savour them with.

Coffee in London is not great, Ryan. Though, mskp, your friend might be interested in a new(ish) place called Flat White in Berwick Street that's on a mission to bring Aussie coffee to the city. I haven't tried it yet, but I've heard good things.
