The history of coffee in Australia
Why did Australia develop its own unique coffee culture?
As coffee culture was brought over by Italian immigrants in the late 1980s, a number of cafes opened in Australia, offering high-quality espresso-based coffee.
As a result, the coffee culture of espresso, which was introduced from Europe, has taken root in Australia rather than black coffee.
Having become established as a part of the culture, espresso continued to develop in its own unique way.
It is said that in this country, coffee is now consumed more than tea or water.
Australia is attracting attention from around the world as a leader in cafe culture, and the number of baristas in Japan who have studied in Australia is on the rise.

In Melbourne's city centre, cafes are so crowded that you can see one next to the other, and most of them are individually run coffee shops rather than chain stores.
In Australia, this coffee culture is firmly rooted in people's daily lives.
Types of coffee in Australia
So let's take a look at what types of coffee drinks are actually available in Australia.
Short Black: espresso
Espresso is the base of a coffee drink. It is called a short black.
You can enjoy its rich flavor, including its rich aroma and concentrated acidity.
Long Black: espresso + hot water
A single espresso coffee made by pouring hot water over it.
It's similar to the Americano, but it's actually a different drink.
A long black is made by pouring hot water into a cup first, followed by espresso, while an americano is made by pouring hot water over espresso.
In a long black, the espresso accumulates on top, so you can enjoy the concentrated flavor of the espresso at the beginning of the drink.
As you drink it, the espresso and hot water mix together, giving you a refreshing coffee experience.
On the other hand, an Americano has hot water and espresso mixed together from the start, so compared to a long black, it has a refreshing taste right from the start.
Macchiato: espresso + milk foam
A single or double espresso with a splash of frothed milk.
The small amount of milk used allows you to directly experience the flavor of the espresso.
Mocha: espresso + hot chocolate + steamed milk
Coffee made by pouring espresso over a small amount of hot chocolate and plenty of steamed milk.
The sweetness of the chocolate and the bitterness of the espresso combine to make this an easy drink even for those who don't like coffee.
Flat White: espresso + steamed milk (+ milk foam)
Coffee made by pouring twice the amount of frothed steamed milk over espresso.
It's similar to a caffe latte, but because it contains less milk, you can enjoy the flavor of the coffee while also tasting the sweetness of the milk.
Latte: espresso + hot milk (steamed milk) + milk foam
Espresso coffee with plenty of hot milk poured over it.
This is the most basic way to drink it.
Cappuccino: espresso + steamed milk + milk foam + chocolate powder
It is made by pouring equal parts of espresso with steamed and foamed milk.
The difference between this and a latte is that it has more foamed milk on top.
This will give the drink a fluffy, light mouthfeel.
We have explained the types of coffee drinks available in Australia.
There are still ways of drinking coffee around the world that are unfamiliar to Japan.
