MCR is choosing the next Top 100 Coffee Spots Melbourne (2011) has to offer; we promised we would! However, this time, it’s you that will choose the ‘spots’, not us. That’s right, between now and the end of May 2010; we will be taking your nominations and votes for Melbourne’s hottest coffee spots.

Once we have the votes in, we’ll head out and review them, creating the “top 100 for 2011”. They will then get pushed onto the web and iPhone!

So what now? Here are the steps:

1. Get on www.melbbournecoffeereview.com and go to ‘HotShots’. (or go straight to hotshots.melbournecoffeereview.com).
2. Look for your favorite café and sms it’s MCR number to 0416905522.(eg:MCR001, lowercase is ok).
3. When you sms the first time it will create your account and register your vote (smart hey?), you’ll get an sms back with your account info and your vote confirmation.
4. When you log in, you can vote for other cafes.
5. That’s it!

IF your favorite café is not there then simply create an account via registration, and nominate a café. Give us a few hours and we’ll ok it, and then you can vote away, as can all your friends.

No this is not a premium sms (so we are not cashing in)! It’s a one off vote per café. You can vote for as many cafes as you want, your own sms costs apply.

If you are in the country, feel free to nominate great coffee shops, we are looking at having a section for regional VIC. If you are outside VIC or Australia, feel free to register cafes and vote, we’ll get to you eventually.

If you own a coffee shop, call me crazy, but I would be printing out your listing and getting my customers to vote like crazy, but that’s just me!

No, you can’t vote on the iPhone app yet, but we are working on it!!

Voting ends at the end of May 2010. Good luck and don’t break our database!!!
