Australia has long enjoyed impressive and flavoursome coffee. Despite tea arriving with the First Fleet in 1788 and the British influence of tea-drinking dominating for a century, coffee saw a rise with the Temperance Movement lobbying for pub early closing times. Even then, it wasn’t until post World War 2 when European immigrants brought their coffee that a real coffee culture emerged, rising from the 1950s to today. It’s perhaps no surprise then that Starbucks failed to expand their empire here, with Australians finding their offerings inferior-tasting yet more expensive than local cafes. Starbucks made a loss of $105m during its first seven years of operation and closed 61 stores.
