A case of "coffee rage" is among a string of incidents that have landed a Nelson (NZ) man in prison. This from the Nelson Mail.
Ryan Alen Hobbs, 31, appeared in Nelson District Court for sentencing on Monday. His lawyer told the court the disorderly behaviour charge was laid after Hobbs suffered a case of "coffee rage" at Nelson's Yaza Cafe. Hobbs considered himself a coffee connoisseur, and was adamant he was being served coffee with curdled milk. Hobbs spat outside the cafe, but said this was to get the taste of the curdled milk out of his mouth, Mr Dollimore said. Judge Peter McAloon said as well as the new charges Hobbs was facing, he was also to be re- sentenced on previous crimes for which he had not completed his community work. The judge sentenced Hobbs to a total of six months in prison, and denied him leave to apply for home detention

It was probably soy milk...although those Nelson folk are mighty fussy.
Garrick_I'm keen to know how you rate the coffee at this establishment. Does it live down to its name?
actually, yaza is really great coffee. my sister's fave cafe in nelson. the coffee's really good and they do the most incredible focaccia sandwiches, and the tomato and basil soup is to die for. we love it, nelson's equiv to Oxford 130's, in vibe, decor and food. only bad thing is its location in that it fronts to a fairly unlively urban car park.
Now I remember it. I was trying to picture it more conventional places where it wasn't.
