    the 7-11 near the corner of Collins and Queen Street has (had?) an actual barista there to make it.. and only $1 which was pretty good

      Oh, he had official qualifications or was he just standing in front of the machine that dispenses coffee and doesn't need a barista's license to operate? :)

      well last time i was there, he pressed the buttons for the coffee and frothed the milk. While it wasn't like a normal cafe where he measures out the beans and puts in the press thing, for $1 it's drinkable

      I think this is the main thing we can take away from this; "it's only $1 so you get used to it", not" it's great and only $1", but "it's cheap so we can ignore it's other shortcomings". OzB in a nutshell sometimes :)

  That is more than double what their employees get paid an hour.

Might want to check out the Skip App for cheap coffee ($1,Free, etc). Loads of cafes listed in Melbourne. Just got my first free coffee this week.

  check out the Skip App
  
  Only for Skips?
alvinmk on 19/02/2016 - 10:32

I've used Skip in the past but no coffee shops near Parliament Station
- neil on 19/02/2016 - 10:35
  
  There are a few right next to the station:
  
  Little Bean Blue 15 Little Collins St
  
  Liaison Cafe, 22 Ridgway Place
  
  The Commune, 2 Parliament Place
  
  Five Plus Green Smoothie (Collins Place), Collins Place
alvinmk on 19/02/2016 - 10:39

I used to get Skip at Little Bean Blue. . Skip is not accurate. Bean Blue has stopped using Skip ages ago.
alvinmk on 19/02/2016 - 10:41

I will try the other coffee places and report back. Liaison is good and I'm in the market for coffee deals, not the normal $3.50-$3.80 per cuppa.
turbo77 on 19/02/2016 - 13:36

I get mine on the way to work from Shell coles express for 80cents! might not be premium beans does the job and the savings go into 98 for my car.

  Get an ING direct card, 'check' your balance at the ATM and then get the same coffee for 30c.
  - alvinmk on 19/02/2016 - 14:26
    
    @Plmko care to elaborate? ING giving $0.50 for coffee or just in general?
    - plmko on 19/02/2016 - 14:35
      
      It's the old Ozbargain trick:
      
      Check balance at Coles Express ATM (costs $1.50)
      
      Select 30c coffee voucher print-out
      
      Get Coffee
      
      Pay with ING paywave
      
      ING reimburses you $1.50 in fees and 2% cash back.
      
      Used to be free, but I think OzB people abused the hell out of it and they caught on, although ~0.29c is still good.

In Sydney, I'd say the average price for a regular is $3.80 and $4.50 for a large.

What would it be like in Melbourne?

  A lot of places sell Regular for $3.50 and $4.00 for Large
- bargain_knight on 19/02/2016 - 16:05
  
  Price of a regular coffee in Melbourne varies between $2.80 and $4. I would say in the city $3.80 is pretty common. The mean price is probably $3.50.

Do you drink coffee for the sake of it being cheap? Just get yourself a tin of international roast.

Any good bulletproof coffee on the GC or Brisbane?
ctrlaltdel on 20/02/2016 - 22:12

thanks OP, might check out Entrecote on Monday. are those prices for a small (regular) coffee?
- pavlos on 22/02/2016 - 17:26
  
  Yeah they are for a small/regular. I just tried it today, and won't be going back; if I'm going to buy a coffee I'd rather pay the extra ~$1.30 and get a decent one somewhere else… below par
Donaldhump on 21/02/2016 - 11:05

if you want a cheap coffee, make it at home, or at work

7/11 coffee taste like dog poo.

If you are into iced coffee then Romano's is a pretty good choice. $4.50 for a REALLY large cup (as big as Boost's cup) with free cream and ice cream on top. I have tried around 5 cafes using Skip and Romano's got the best value for iced coffee so far.
