What is
?
Short Blk is short but sweet info and directions to 40 of Melbourne’s ‘Greatest Hits’ (cafes that serve up quality caffeinated goodness time and time again). No ratings and no reviews. Use it to find a cafe you really like, and then move on to the next one. It’s that simple. And yes, you do need to try them all. Is it an iPhone / iPad app? Funny you should ask! Just glue Short Blk to the back of any iPhone (Gen 1, 3G/3Gs compatible) or iPad and we guarantee that it will feel almost like one (although may void warranty). OK. NO, Short Blk is not an iPhone app. Like an iPhone, however, it is black, cool as hell and pocketable. Where Short Blk gets its edge is that it’s FREE and guaranteed not to ask you for money every month or tell you to top up (except on coffee). Now you show us an iPhone that can do that! You’re busy. We get it. You have better things to do than read pages and pages of coffee related dribble, right? You already know your latte from your flat white, and you want quality assured every time you fork out your hard earned for a coffee.
Behind the coffee Learn a little about the people and equipment behind your coffee, but not too much. Just enough to get you through that awkward tram ride, your short lunch break or mismatched blind date. Be loyal to us and we won’t cheat on you! At the back of Short Blk you will find the first ever Short Blk / Vitasoy loyalty card (it’s perforated, tear it out and stick it in your wallet or purse). Get it stamped by 8 cafes featured in this issue before issue 02 hits the streets (buying any style coffee gets you a stamp) and you’ll get 2 FREE Vitasoy coffees to wash the other 8 down with! P.S. Take note of the Vitasoy in your coffees - the ‘Cafe Series for Baristas’ soy milk that is likely being used to make it was developed under the watchful eye of Australian Barista Champion and runner-up World Barista of the Year, Melbourne’s own David Makin.
Note: If by chance you don’t have better things to
do than read coffee related dribble don’t feel bad because help is at hand... Contains Caffeine is Short Blk’s mothership and for those ‘Turners’ out there seeking coffee related dribble it will soon be their ‘Hooch’:
