It would be very dependent on location in Australia. I live in Sydney and I am spoiled for choice. There is literally no road from my place without at least 1 good coffee place. There are 3 roasters within a 1000m radius to me. I can get a great coffee just about everywhere.

We can certainly support more coffee businesses, but you're not going to become huge doing it.

As a British expat, the whole coffee scene is quite an amazing thing about Sydney. I can get a reasonably good barista coffee almost anywhere - the hardware store, the swimming pool, the furniture shop, most pubs, at childrens activities etc.

There are 1 or 2 coffee shops on every street near where I work in an otherwise very industrial area. They put a fair amount of effort into making themselves unique in style and differentiating themselves.
