    I’m from Australia, and visit Germany regularly.

    Australian coffee is sublime. Made manually, it’s a profession of pride for many, and in all my travels to many countries, the coffee of Australia has never been bested.

    German coffee is made through exact, automated machines, and it’s crap. It’s some of the worst coffee I’ve experienced.

    Machine after machine, I’ve tried them all, and I’ve given up.

    I don’t know what the human does, but whatever they do that the machine is not doing, makes av huge difference, and no manufacturer has cracked the magic formula yet.

      I’ve had the opposite experience, my regular coffee shop uses an automatic machine. They have the best espresso in the area, it might help that they roast their own beans.
