Coffee plunger in Melbourne?
May 6, 2014 5:52 PM Subscribe
I want to buy a coffee plunger (French press) somewhere local- either in Preston, Reservoir, Thornbury, Northcote, North Fitzroy or Coburg. I'm assuming a cafe might be a good bet, or a homewares store but I couldn't find anyone selling them in a few I tried on high st, Northcote yesterday. I'd like to avoid a mall.
Bonus points a for a recommendation for a good steel plunger? I know Bodum and Avanti are meant to be good but they're very expensive.

You could ring the business on this yellow pages list. There are a few wholesalers in that of equipment in that area who may sell retail. As to s/steel quality plungers, I have bought a few for our accommodation, all of them from 'deals' websites or Aldi for under $40 and they have all been good. They sure last longer than any Bodum glass plunger I've owned.

Response by poster: Willing to pay more if it means avoiding northland- not going there- bub doesn't like the bright lights and noise (nor does her mum, for that matter).

The Mediterranean supermarket on Sydney Road definitely has them. I'm unsure as to price. It's a little out of your target area, but only 10 mins drive/tram from Coburg.

Best answer: Did you check Durawear/Club Chef (291 High Street)?
Also, the Kmart website shows that they are available in the Northcote store (not fancy stainless steel ones, just cheapo ones).
I am trying to remember if Penny Farthing Espresso sells plungers. I think they have some other coffee brewing equipment (for sale with the beans near the front counter), but am not sure about plungers.
For a fancier plunger, I thinkKey Ingredients in Clifton Hill would be a good bet.

Best answer: Oh and maybe Coffee Mio roasters in Thornbury (on High St near 7 11) or Eureka Coffee/Growers Espresso in North Fitzroy.

I've been looking for one of these lately (in Brisbane) and having a hell of a time. Turns out Big W sells about nine different kinds of varying quality and cost.
