Specialty coffee has a real definition beyond the marketing. The SCA scores coffee on a 100-point scale, and anything above 80 qualifies. But the number is just the start - it means every decision from plant variety to altitude to processing was made intentionally. This is your guide to what that looks like, and why it matters for the cup in front of you.
Melbourne didn't just adopt specialty coffee - it arguably invented the culture the rest of the world now follows. The flat white was perfected here. Single-origin espresso went mainstream here. And the expectation that even a corner shop should serve genuinely excellent coffee? That's Melbourne too. From warehouse roasteries in Collingwood to standing-room laneway bars in the CBD, this is our guide to the city's best.
