I think its cool you can control the strength of your coffee, it's not like all other coffee shops stopped doing it the old fashioned way. Also if your sitting there for 20 mins and you don't notice everyone is getting a plank with beakers than I can't even.
Still a shorter line than Starbucks.
Not in seattle! We can just go one block and find another!

5 Starbucks on my 10 min walk to work in Toronto. When there is a line at one I just move to the next.
A whole block? North of 50th maybe...

No chance in hell mate, good coffee in Melbourne can cost as much as a lunch. I just make it at home.
EDIT: I'm thinking this guy is even going WTF!?!
New trend... lmfao. More like gimmick menu item at one cafe, posted to social networking to maximise outrage. Well probably, seeing as the woman that posted it left out where she got it and what exactly it was.
you can get a takeaway coffe premade for you by an artisan barista or whatever the fuck at every single street corner in melbourne- if she didn't want the gimmicky create-a-coffee why order it?
this thing is really dumb manufactured drama

I'm a big fan of deconstructed cookies. I love snorting flour on the flight table, and grinding my own cocoa chips into injectable dust!

hah.
this is like when you order a salad and get the ingredients for a salad.
anyways shouldn't it technically be a glass of microfoam milk which would have to be steamed which collapses quickly which is why you make a latte the way you do which is just one of many reasons this is dumb?

Ahh, a good old visit to the trendy cafe. Classic Melbourne.
it does kind of force re-examination and ridicule of a once familiar thing.

Wow, that is on a new level of deconstruction. Coca-Cola, can I start constructing my own Coke from raw ingredients?
Also, I have heard some shit about Australia.

"I like to make it in my mouth."
She was probably hired by them to make the post.
this is the only coffee available in melbourne so you're lucky you don't!
Thank god you don't drink coffee otherwise you would be forced to do so in a deconstructed fashion at this one place in Australia.
Also there was not 20 minute wait. She waited 20 minutes before realizing she wasn't getting a cup.
What is this even attempting to imply? It's not like all coffee drinkers suddenly have to buy coffee from this specific place from now on.
Edit: appears I'm a bit late in pointing this out. Point remains the same though.
The coffee didn't take 20 mins. She waited 20 mins for a cup that she thought was coming.
Lol, omg. and the cafe is the thing that's meant to be embarrassing here

Likely pulling a "new coke" as it's coined.

I am going to make it through this year if it kills me
Deconstructed omelette anyone?

Don't see how it's much different to getting a pot of tea and a cup of milk.
I think we can all just use "new shapes" in Aus now right? As the thing to say?

Coffee culture is absolutely hilarious to me. It sometimes goes farther than beer and wine culture. I have a friend who is a barista and coffee maniac. She brings a travel air press with her wherever she goes so she can make coffee no matter the situation. And goes out of her way to try different roasts and blends. I love her, but my god.
I have a feeling she would be into this.

Boom. An order of coffee should take exactly 1 minute. Grab the cup, pour it out, hand it over. A minute is probably too much time.

This is espresso coffee. It needs to be ground, packed, extracted and the milk (if applicable) heated. There are only 3 arms to a standard industrial espresso machine, so it's not going to be that quick unless you're the only one in line.
