The Root of Australia's Unique Coffee Culture

The root lies in Australia's unique and rich coffee culture. Australia is the place with the most Italians outside of Italy. A large number of European immigrants from Italy, France, Turkey, and Hungary brought a strong coffee culture and excellent coffee brewing skills. On this land, various coffee cultures merged again, producing a more optimized local Australian coffee culture. This is why Starbucks, which once ambitiously entered the Australian coffee market, eventually had to withdraw in defeat.

Why Don't Australians Like Starbucks?

Starbucks entered the Australian market as early as 2000, opening nearly 90 stores at once. Eight years later, however, it closed 61 stores, leaving only about 20 outlets today, with almost only tourists visiting. The reason for Starbucks' defeat is related to Australia's mature coffee culture.

Australia's mature coffee culture originates from a large number of European immigrants, especially Italians, who not only brought coffee knowledge and roasting techniques but also allowed Espresso, Latte, and Cappuccino to gradually integrate into Australian life. Coupled with immigrants from Greece, Turkey, Hungary, and others, a unique and rich coffee belief formed locally in Australia. This is also why Australia and Italy became "the only two countries where Starbucks failed."

Australian Coffee Excellence

Australians' attention to coffee is like Chinese people's pickiness about tea - both visual and taste senses must be considered. Alice, a travel and lifestyle expert who grew up in Queensland, says: "Australians love drinking coffee so much that they can spend the whole day in coffee shops. Calculated by population proportion, Brisbane has the highest density of coffee shops in all of Australia." In the alleys of Brisbane, you can encounter a coffee shop every few steps. Among Alice's private list, Campos Coffee is her favorite.

Campos: The Classic Australian Coffee Brand

Among many Australian coffees, Campos is hailed as "the classic brand of Australian coffee." Not only is the coffee delicious, but Campos coffee beans are also internationally renowned, with many coffee shops specifying their beans. What exactly is Campos' magic? Let's take a closer look!

Campos has only 7 directly operated stores in Australia, among which the Brisbane flagship store is Alice's favorite where she often lingers. Hidden in a small alley, if not guided by an expert, tourists would not walk in here. You can say it's a secret realm - follow the small sign inside, and you'll find a different world.

Special Services: Cupping Room

Besides selling coffee and light meals, Campos Coffee in Brisbane also offers a special service: Cupping Room. Not only does it provide good coffee, but it also offers professional Coffee Cupping courses, allowing coffee enthusiasts to better distinguish what "specialty coffee" truly is.

Coffee Cupping Experience

Alice led us into a mysterious small booth, where the Coffee Cupping course was about to begin. On each person's table were placed 5 cups of ground coffee from different producing regions. Before tasting the coffee, several video clips would be played: to ensure 100% effective tracking of bean origins, Campos personally flies to various coffee producing regions to participate in the entire production and marketing process. Some say "every bean is a journey," which is truly reflected throughout this cupping course. Next comes "personal cupping," where instructors pour hot water into each cup. At this moment, coffee aroma fills the entire space. The course also explains different roasting methods, aromas, aftertastes, etc., from different regions, allowing participants to learn coffee knowledge through experience.

Beyond Coffee: Popular Brunch Menu

If you're like me, just an outsider who likes to drink coffee but doesn't know much about it, then you can look forward to the highlight next! The reason Campos is so popular goes beyond its attention to coffee quality - the brunch in the store is also a hugely popular item. Including "Big Breakfast Combo," "Avocado Toast," and "Eggs Benedict" are all popular must-orders, paired with a specialty coffee. No wonder Campos, in the star-studded Australian market, can still rise to become "the best-tasting coffee in Australians' hearts."

Australia: The Second Italy

Australia is the country with the most Italians besides Italy.

With their natural sensitivity and relentless pursuit of perfection, Australians' attention to coffee quality has long surpassed the tide of globalized brands. Coffee is not just a cup of coffee - it needs some beauty, some warmth, some story. A coffee shop is not just a coffee shop - it's more of a reliance, more of a taste, more of a life. When coffee culture becomes a belief, it naturally repels cookie-cutter coffee brands without personal style. As for what exactly makes Australian coffee shops different, I think only friends who have visited in person can truly understand (laughs).
