One of the really nice things about this country is the coffee. We saw a few Starbucks in Auckland. We wonder why they bother. It must be a cultural, yuppie thing, because every tiny little jerk-water hole in the wall has espresso machines and serves outstanding coffee. A town may be so small that it doesn't have a gas station ( sorry, petrol station), but if it has a cafe, it has great coffee. In fact, outside of Starbucks, it's tough to find drip or filter coffee.
Back home, once you leave the major population centers (density 1 person per sq. meter) you are hard pressed to find decent coffee. All you get is Folgers Farmer Coffee. That stuff is about as good as boiled out stains from an old tablecloth.
