Trapsuutjie Posted June 19, 2007 Report Share Posted June 19, 2007 Hallo everyone,I was wondering if anybody could give me a bit of advice on coffee in Australia that taste similar to Ricoffee, Nescafe and Frisco in South Africa. Since everything will be turned upside down when we land in Australia, a bit of familiar tasting "boeretroos" would probable be just the thing to get one through.Thank you.Trapsuutjie.

The Parsons Family Posted June 19, 2007 Report Share Posted June 19, 2007 HiIf you used to dink Nescafe Classic then it is here it is just called Nescafe Blend 43. Not sure about Frisco and Ricoffy as I don't know what they taste like Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Posted June 19, 2007 Report Share Posted June 19, 2007 Not being a coffee conoisseur myself, a couple of folks I know drink Nescafe Espresso.It might be worth a try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest colton Posted June 19, 2007 Report Share Posted June 19, 2007 I don't drink coffee but Hubby used to drink Ricoffy and here he likes Nescafe Mild Roast and Nescafe Blend 43. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noddy Posted June 19, 2007 Report Share Posted June 19, 2007 I used to drink Koffiehuis (similar to Frisco) in RSA and haven't found anything similar. Nescafe Blend43 compares to Nescafe but that's way too strong for me. I'd given up on coffee and was only drinking the 5 Roses tea that i brought over with me. BUT, surprise surprise... I found the Springbok shop on the Gold Coast and they had - you guessed it - Koffiehuis! I stocked up Koffiehuis and more 5 Roses cos those were running out. Found a stack of things in that shop and ended up shopping up a little storm. Hubby said - close your eyes and pay! Pam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leon Posted June 19, 2007 Report Share Posted June 19, 2007 TrapsuutjieIf you are a coffee connoisseur you will love Aus. This is where you will find the best coffee's in the world. The quality and taste of coffee here is far better than anywhere else. You need to experience a "Flat White" or ''Long Black" in any coffee shop in Aus to really apreciate the taste.With regards to instant coffee, you can buy a variety of different brands, personnally I prefer Nescafe Gold but your choices are endless.You can buy SA brands at the SA shops, but really Ricoffee, Frisco, Koffiehuis is not even coffee it is sigorei Nee regtig, ons bly mos darem nou in 'n eerste wereldse land!! I promise you "boeretroos" smaak baie lekkerder in Aus as in SA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TjaartvdW Posted June 19, 2007 Report Share Posted June 19, 2007 Do the Aussies have Jacobs (freeze dried) ???You have'nt had coffee until you've had Jacobs.NOW THERE'S A COFFEE SNOB FOR YOU Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noddy Posted June 20, 2007 Report Share Posted June 20, 2007 TrapsuutjieYou can buy SA brands at the SA shops, but really Ricoffee, Frisco, Koffiehuis is not even coffee it is sigorei Nee regtig, ons bly mos darem nou in 'n eerste wereldse land!!I'm confused - please help me understand... What on earth does living in a first world country have to do with whether you drink coffee or chicory? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Bronwyn Posted June 20, 2007 Report Share Posted June 20, 2007 The Nescafe here tastes just as k@k as it did in Pretoria. Sorry to say.U gotta buy the real stuff from coffee shops.But it costs a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mara Posted June 20, 2007 Report Share Posted June 20, 2007 Shame on you all, is it not time to realise that everybody has his own tastes?At home I drink Nescafe Gold, nothing wrong with it as far as I am concerned. When I am out and about town, I drink a flat white, something to look forward to.Shall we all try to be a little more tolerant about peoples choices! Come on kids, play nice now!

TjaartvdW Posted June 20, 2007 Report Share Posted June 20, 2007 (edited) There's chicory... and then there's coffeeyou go Leon (just stirring a little) pardon the pun Tjaart Edited June 20, 2007 by TjaartvdW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nilo Posted June 20, 2007 Report Share Posted June 20, 2007 The FUN about moving to a new country is to try everything at least once (Food that is)!I believe it is important not to cling to our old habbits too much, I realize we are creatures of habbit, but live a little you might be surprised what you like!Try moving to an Island in the Indian Ocean with a Forex problem! No cheese for months, potatoes (when you get it) that has started to grow before you get to use it etc. Australia is heaven! Ne Liezel?My advice is buy the little bottles and try various coffees etc until you find your brand. Hubby likes STRONG coffee and drinks Nescafe EspessoMyself and our son likes Nescafe Mild roastAs far as chicory is concerned - as far as I know it is a root similar to a potatoe that is used as a filler in coffee (to make is more and cheaper) same as pumpkin is used in jam.I need some advise too. What is a latte?LoviesNilo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enrica Posted June 21, 2007 Report Share Posted June 21, 2007 A "latte" is short for the Italian Cafe- Latte- which means Coffee with milk - a shot of cofee and the same amount of milk. Italian kids have this for breakfast with biscuits. Try an Affogatto - Yum - A Hot Expresso poured over Ice Cream or a Granita - Iced Expresso coffee.They have some great coffee shops here and most make really good coffee. Regarding so call instant coffess , I like Mocana coffee , otherwise I have expresso out of an expresso pot. One more coffee lover!!!!
