Melbourne cafe owner brothers behind 'deconstructed' lattes deny they are too hipster

The 'too hipster' cafe which served writer Jamila Rizvi a 'deconstructed' coffee (bottom right) in three separate beakers which she photographed for Facebook in a post that went viral is owned by two brothers who really do believe in 'experimenting with the chemistry' of coffee and the 'the science behind' brewing. At Industry Beans cafe in north-eastern Melbourne Steve and Trevor Simmons (left) promote 'coffee chemistry' (inset), have scientific formulae such as 'sphereification' to turn 'coffee into a membrane' and say they source the finest beans globally 'from the slopes of Mount Kenya to the valleys of the Baru Volcano in Panama and Kirundo Province in North Eastern Burundi where they are hand picked at sunset'.

Texas town divided over controversial 'selfie statue' in public square

A Texas town has split over a new statue erected in the town square plaza, and now the rest of the internet is joining in the debate. The bronze art installation features two girls, who appear to be in their teens or 20s, smiling, crouching slightly, and posing for a cell phone selfie - and it's been placed in the middle of a busy public square in Sugar Land. But the 'selfie statue', as it's been dubbed, is not a prank or a joke - in fact, the town approved it back in 2014 as a way to 'provide and/or support activities and facilities that enrich the artistic, cultural, educational, and historical character of Sugar Land.'  Some residents are calling it ' embarrassing ' and saying they are 'worried about our generation', while others say critics need to lighten up.
