Welcome to the home of the Espresso Idiot, an antipodean espresso aficionado.

"Watching the preparation of, and then consuming, an espresso made by a master of the dark arts is one of the great joys in life. There is something satisfying about seeing a great product prepared by someone who truly understands the joy that is espresso. In this section I am on a quest to find first Sydney's and then the antipodes best" .

Espresso Reviews (Cafe Consumption)

EspressoIdiot.com is a guide for all lovers of espresso in the antipodes. Espresso Reviews (Cafe Consumption) is the section of this site that is devoted to the fine industry of providing espresso in a ready to drink form somewhere other than at your place.

There are many sites that concentrate on the cafe scene, so why have another one? The answer to that is simple. So many sites carry on about the ambience of a cafe, the decor and the service. Not many of them provide useful information on the coffee served. This site, and the Espresso Idiot concentrate on the quality of the coffee that is provided. This, and this alone, is the focus of this site. No matter how greasy the spoon may be, no matter how bleak and uninteresting the view is, nor how unfashionable the music, here at EspressoIdiot.com, coffee is king.

Below is a list of cafes where espresso has been reviewed by the Espresso Idiot. Simply click on the link to be taken to the Espresso Idiot's reveiw of the espresso served in that establishment. The name of the cafe is listed, followed by the district and city location of the cafe. As many espressos may be served by one establishment, if the cafe offers more than one type, and more than one has been reviewed, the listed beans sampled will be listed on the main page, and you can click through to a review of each. It's a simple format, and we hope you will find it useful for finding your next great espresso fix, or finding out what spots to avoid!
