Clown Coffee at the Ca$ino

What is it about breakfast areas in hotels that results in crap coffee? My beautiful wife pampered me last weekend at the decadent Crown Casino hotel. We actually had a great time.

It was ‘nice’ and a much better brew that the Clown Coffee supplied earlier, but I would not say great.

It was a glorious morning though, sipping latte on the banks of the Yarra, with the Melbourne skyline before us. That would have to be the last balmy day for the year… surely. Melbourne cold, miserable weather,.. here she comes…
