    @sundogplanets there's a cafe in Newtown Wellington called "Black Coffee" and they serve good drip coffee if you need a hit

    If I remember, Flight Coffee also does a good speciality pour-over.

      Observations from a Canadian visiting New Zealand:

      -Making NZers say "Saskatchewan" is kind of hilarious
      -Roundabouts work really really well when everyone is used to them
      -Drip coffee apparently does not exist here (espresso-based coffee drinks only. Even at the one Dunkin Donuts I saw in a hideous mall I had to go inside in Auckland).
      -NZ signs do not play around (see example below)

        @sundogplanets Federal Delicatessen in Auckland has good proper brewed coffee. Owned by Al Brown and uses coffee from a roaster in Wellington

                Why would you want drip "coffee" when you could have coffee as intended?

                Oh, that sign is just if you run into that guy Cliff. He's pretty notorious in New Zealand.

                        @sundogplanets OK, but why would you want drip coffee when you could have espresso? I don't understand.

                                @grb090423 @sundogplanets Not exactly; with drip coffee the hot water passes through the coffee grounds once, while with percolated coffee, the coffee is continually boiled and passed through the coffee grounds until it’s undrinkable.

                                        @grb090423 @sundogplanets Not exactly; with drip coffee the hot water passes through the coffee grounds once, while with percolated coffee, the coffee is continually boiled and passed through the coffee grounds until it’s undrinkable.

                                        @carey @sundogplanets

                                        Is this a drip coffee machine?

                                          Observations from a Canadian visiting New Zealand:

                                          -Making NZers say "Saskatchewan" is kind of hilarious
                                          -Roundabouts work really really well when everyone is used to them
                                          -Drip coffee apparently does not exist here (espresso-based coffee drinks only. Even at the one Dunkin Donuts I saw in a hideous mall I had to go inside in Auckland).
                                          -NZ signs do not play around (see example below)
