If you’ve wandered through Northbridge recently, you may have stopped to admire the grassy piazza at the corner of Lake and James Streets. You may have even discovered the piazza’s best kept secret, Cnr. Tucked away under the huge TV screen, with tables overlooking the grassy expanse, Cnr. has been serving up outstanding coffee to lucky punters for just over two months.

Many years ago I stumbled across a book in a public library called ‘The 80/20 Principle’ which claims that it can help you get bigger returns on your efforts by applying a universal concept called ‘the Paretos principle’. Named after Italian economist, Vilfredo Pareto, its basic premise is that for most events, roughly 80% of the effects come from 20% of the causes. In essence, it’s saying to concentrate your scarce resources (time) on the areas that have the most impact.

On a recent coffee crawl, I couldn’t help but notice that the coffees I tasted were much cleaner, livelier, and more interesting than they were just a couple of years ago. Don’t get me wrong, I think the focus has always been on quality, it’s just that in recent years it feels as though there’s been a surge in the number of coffee professionals who are ready to break some boundaries and re-evaluate their options when it comes to providing a memorable coffee experience.
