It just keeps getting better. This place is on my hit list, having knocked back some soul soothing flat whites at Mart and St Ali yesterday (first time for the latter; loved it). I'm a Melbourne coffee geek living in the land of tea bags (London) and they just don't get it - so nice to be back here where people write posts about coffee machines and roasting beans.

There are better beans about then single origin Ipanema though and I wonder why you would go to all that trouble and then choose to brand yourself, however superficially in the same perceived plane as Starbucks. Cheers Stephen Hi Ed

He's one of those people who always brings things together with an elegant poise and unpretentious way of serving great coffee. Looking forward to hearing more about Proud Mary. And Bad Mary too if you run into her Ed :) I expect great things from Nolan every time he goes into a new cafe.

The massive 6 group is presumably to run the three single origins and two blends they were offering. I thought the name was Proud Mary's, or did I mishear?
