Another big plug for Vietnamese coffee.

The stuff is magical, in partial thanks to the French influence in Vietnam. Cold or hot, absolutely the best.

Also, since moving down under, I've gotten hooked on these bad boys:

I was always a "typical" coffee drinker in Calgary, never one for lattes and such, but down here the coffee culture is a bit of a mixture of styles. These flat whites (basically a latte but served in a normal take-away sized cup or mug) are a thing of beauty. Otherwise it's just whatever fresh ground stuff I can get for my plunger.

In Calgary i went from Second Cup to Timmys to Starbucks to the roadside Diner stuff (which has its own charms).
