American is left shocked after tasting coffee in Australia for the first time
- Tilly Kearns brought boyfriend to Sydney
- He loved Aussie coffee
An American man has revealed his shock after drinking Australian coffee for the first time.
Olympic water polo player Tilly Kearns said that she’d told her American boyfriend Justin Dedich that Australian coffee was ‘much better’ than what’s served in the US, but he ‘didn’t believe her’.
After touching down in Sydney for a week, the US-based athlete decided to take Justin to try a cappuccino.
In a video, Justin stirs the velvety coffee before smelling it and taking a sip and giving his verdict.
‘It’s good s*** Matilda, it’s good s***,’ he said.

Tilly, who is the daughter of Rugby Union legend Phil Kearns, then laughs at her boyfriend’s reaction.
Dozens of people quickly went to the comments to berate Justin – who attends USC in California with Tilly and plays college football – for stirring the coffee.
‘Now teach him to stop stirring it and sip through the foam,’ wrote one.
‘He’s stirring the coffee, he should have his visa revoked,’ said another.
‘His face says it all on that second sip,’ wrote a third.
‘He shouldn’t have stirred lol but Oz coffee is the best,’ added another.
‘They don’t make real coffee in the USA at all, it’s all filtered disappointment in a cup,’ wrote a fifth.
In June, an American tourist was blasted online for claiming Australian coffee is ‘not worth the hype’.
Travel blogger Erin Fang posted a video to TikTok with her top four things tourists should not do when they land in Australia, saying not to ‘fall for the coffee’.
Her clip racked up more than 120,000 views and a barrage of comments from outraged Australians.
In the clip, she first advises tourists not to go to the Opera House for photos but instead get on the Manly Ferry for the best views of the iconic Sydney landmark.
‘Next up don’t fall for the coffee. Honestly we heard that Melbourne had the best coffee but it just didn’t live up to the hype,’ Erin, who spent a month travelling Australia, said.
‘However if you had to splurge on one definitely go with Patricia’s.’
