We get it, Melbourne; you love your coffee. Cold drip, single origin, pour-over brewing. Okay, fine, we can deal with all that. But this time, you’ve taken it too far.
When Mamamia’s former editor-in-chief, Jamila Rizvi, walked into one of your coffee shops, eager for a warm cup of liquid-gold bean juice, you gave her this instead:

What in the name of Gloria Jean is THAT?
"Sorry Melbourne but no. No no no no no," wrote Rizvi on Facebook. "Hipsterism has gone too far when your coffee comes deconstructed."
The poor soul waited a whole 20 minutes for "an actual cup" before she realised that she must instead settle for a vessel that seems to have been plucked straight from a science lab supply cupboard.
Thankfully, the people seem to share her sentiment.
"Next stage? I'll just get a chopping board with a bunch of actual coffee beans and an upside down hat on it," Rizvi fumed. "This must stop, dear Melbourne. This must stop."

Reading this from my home in Berlin and it makes me homesick! ahhh Melbourne and your expensive, ridiculous coffees...
Hipsters make me feel ill.
They have taken over one of my locals. I'm eternally grateful for the other local a few doors away that is still strictly for normal unbearded people who don't all look the same.
