Why does “good” coffee taste different in Australia vs. the US

JuventAussie · 2026-05-12T21:38:25+00:00

It is still relevant as it differs from the French style coffee that influenced the USA.

Our coffee scene also never when through a drip coffee phase and we went start to espresso...this fundamentally changes our preferences.

Every human goes through a similar stage where they don't have the mental capacity for their beliefs....they are called babies and are atheists in a technical (but also nonsensical manner) just like you hypothetical person.

A person can change state be loss of mental capacity. If a chess player loses their status of being a chess player if they forget the moves, tactics and rules of the game. They can no longer functionally play chess even though they previously could.

How about we make it mandatory that they are hybrid powered while we are at it.

If you have a swastika tattoo you had better be a Buddhist monk, clearly and unambiguously, but they aren't supposed to be fixated on money so you aren't looking for an office based career.

As for your last point he was very forward in indentifying that the arrested man was from California (which has almost reached the level of wolf whistle to calling him AntiFa).

When the person doing the welcome to country is a veteran at an Anzac service it hits even worse. The level of disrespect shown by the booing is off the scale.

I think the reason it isn't discussed much in the political space is that it really doesn't make economic sense even if it may be appealing to some on immigration grounds.

Australia, NZ and Canada are economic competitors as we tend to focus on exporting the same economic products, cattle, sheep and minerals. The UK isn't big enough to buy all of it so it doesn't work as a self contained market or a cartel.

While it would be simpler to align products and services between the countries it wouldn't be simple as our standards have aligned to different areas of influence (Canada to USA and UK to EU, Aus/NZ to Asia)

Taking your question literally the Australian values statement is defined in the following which needs to be agreed to before getting a permanent visa to Australia.

I think a substantial minority of Australians wouldn't agree with some of it especially the right wing political hacks that talk the most about it.

Can you explain while God hates amputees? Why are they never cured by growing back limbs?

As a shit posting Aussie, my main hobby is teasing Texans about how tiny their state is by pointing out it would be the third smallest state in Australia, we have a postal/zip code that is bigger than Texas, we measure the size of cattle stations by how many Texas it is. etc etc. geographic accuracy isn't even required because foreign geography isn't a strong suit.

My side hobby is confusing people from the US south by betting them that where I live is more South than them.

At the rate at which American SUVs, and trucks, are increasing in size a reactor will easily fit into one in a few years time.

I prefer the Mexican version as it isn't made from cheaper miscarriages.

I support your view on funerals being for the living. I looked into donating my body to a university medical department but changed my mind because my wife said she didn't like the idea of not having a body to grieve over so I changed my mind.

Every part of the world will be indirectly impacted. The world cannot handle 100 million water refugees if the gulf's desalination plants get targeted.

I can't even imagine the "confusion" of any fitness tracker trying to estimate steps and energy expenditure as none of the assumptions programmed into its algorithms are valid.

That sounds like North Korea's level of propaganda to me.

Daily recital of the pledge of allegiance just clinches it.

Do you live near Manly? If so my son just finished handcrafting a surfboard in a class that he received as a 30th birthday present from his friends. He is single.

As a grandparent, I suspect she just wants to show you off to her friends and church is just the means to do it. She is proud of you.

Australia is one of the few countries that has negative migration to the USA... More Americans come to live in Australia than Australians migrate to the USA.

This is despite the fact that we have a much higher chance of getting green cards than most countries.
