At just $2.47, Mr Christopoulos’ espresso trumps even global juggernaut McDonalds who are charging $4.15 for their smallest coffee cup size.

“I’m local and look at the amount of people that go past here each day, and what a local hub this is, I wanted to breathe life into something that was dead,” he said.

“We’ve got to get people back to the local cafe.”
