Twelve Dollars.

One of my New Year's Resolutions was to learn from the competition and steal ideas from cafes all over Melbourne.

Inspired by a recent visit to a new cafe in the city, I have placed the following sign above Caffe Cinque's menu board:

Caffe Cinque is pleased to announce the arrival of the Twelve Dollar Coffee, brewed from ethically sourced, single origin beans hand picked and roasted by virgins in third world countries.

Before placing an order, customers must be able to locate the following areas on a map; Veracruz, Chiapas, The Mauna Loa Volcano and Sulawesi

explain the difference between robusta and arabica,

describe coffee using three or more adjectives usually reserved for wine,

promise not ask for a refund upon realisation that the Twelve Dollar Coffee does not take the form of a mugacinno, frappacinno or mocha chai latte.
