Coffee
HOW DO YOU LIKE YOUR COFFEE?
Come in and we’ll put together your regular espresso.
Are you partial to a flat white, cappuccino, long black, latte?
Do you change your coffee up in Summertime for long, cool things like iced latte, iced long black or an espresso frappe?
LOCOMOTIVE STATION COFFEE VALUES
1. No charge for alternative milks.
As customers we don’t like being charge more because we chose an equal quantity of one milk over another.
2. Two standard sizes:
Cup Size : One shot in a cup
Mug Size : Two shots in a mug
Medium, small and large capacities vary between venues. We like to keep it simple, especially before we’ve had a coffee.
Of course, you can change it up. Maybe you’re like Sue who likes a quarter strength, mug size cappuccino with two sugars. Or our other Sue who likes a half strength, mug size cappuccino with no sugar but extra chocolate sprinkle. Or are you like Tilly’s Dad who has two shots in a cup size latte?
3. Good coffee all the way to the bottom.
We aim to serve coffee that tastes, “Mmm. Nice [sigh],” from the first sip to the last drop in the bottom.
TAKE US HOME

ABOUT LOCO COLD BREW
1. Loco Cold Brew is made in small batches.
2. A gentle process means cold brew is smoother than espresso.
3. Loco Cold Brew can be kept in the fridge for up to a week** and still taste great.
4. A 500ml bottle should give you ten cup portions or five double shot mugs.
5. Pour into a cup or glass and add your choice:
- hot water = long black
- cold water and ice = iced long black
- hot milk = flat white
- cold milk and ice = iced latte
Then sweeteners, flavours or just your mouth.
** We have no control over what happens to the cold brew once it’s in your possession. If you take it for a camel ride in the desert maybe put it in a little esky to keep cool or it might not taste the same. Also, if you do this, let us know how it goes.
ABOUT OUR BEANS
At Locomotive Station you’ll get good coffee. We’d like to take credit for this but, no. Most of what happens in your cup is the result of our roasters, their obsession with their craft and commitment to people like us.
Scott, Simon and Kevin at Short St get us beans that are full flavoured enough to hold their own in a variety of milks while consistently smooth when drunk black.
While in our custody, we coddle the beans and hand the brew over the counter to you. How this happens is also due to Kevin. He taught us a fraction of what he knows about coffee. Thank heavens because if he brain dumped everything it’d be like Cate Blanchett being pulverised by knowledge when the pointy skull spoke to her in Indiana Jones. Simon and Scott are more patient with us than crystal alien overlords would be. Of this, we are appreciative.
We’re one of only two coffee shops on the coast serving Short St coffee. And we drink coffee at the other one, too.
