Have had some decent coffee at Campos in Melbourne since. Don’t get me wrong, Melbourne has some pretty bad coffee as well

How surprising! A Melbourne coffee critic that only likes coffee roasted in Melbourne.
HaHa

Maree, this is a review about The Premises, not Kitcch. Dan, a long macchiato has ~130ml of hot water, ~30ml of (liquid) espresso and dash of milk, it is supposed to be hot. I highly doubt that these guys would be ‘burning’ your coffee, due to their pedigree. Maybe you could try a different way of drinking coffee? Order a magic, which has no hot water and a little bit more milk. You should also try there filter coffee as it’s a great way to experience different coffee flavor profiles each day.

Comment on MamaNee Thai Restaurant by Stephen

THis place is such a find. Real Thai food, not the super sweet farang style that is usually served up in Thai restarants that cater to western tastes. Be sure to ask for “Thai style not australian style”.

Premises coffee was horrendous – it was SCORCHING hot!!! Anybody that KNOWS their coffee knows that the taste is spoilt when coffee is too hot, as they burn the coffee beans – never again. Menu looks alright, but now not tempted to try, as coffee was that bad. Also, as my coffee is a long macc and has a little milk – coffee had a horroble taste, as obviously milk was overheated….Fruits of PASSION all the way!

I’m guessing when you’re looking at the summary, it’s appearing in miles. I’ve never had that problem, and 5 minute/km would translate to between 7 and 8 minute/miles.

Ive JUST bought this one and have had one issue right off the bat… Eg. Do a 4km run in 20 mins – It’s obvious the average pace should read 5mins/km at the end of the sesh, but it will say 7 or 8 mins. Anyone else had this problem?
The pace is spot on WHILE running, but when I stop it at the end, the summary is WAY off!
Help?
