I want to drink - not watch!

Then, buy a coffee machine and you can enjoy good espresso everyday at home.  

現在我每天都飲用滴灟咖啡, 在日本城, 用十數元買了個灟斗似的物體, 將咖啡濾紙摺了邊沿位置後, 放於斗中, fit 到爆。
　
啡豆方面, 試過許多, 都是 Ground Coffee, 即已磨成粉, 暫不打算買啡豆作即磨。
　
正統的分量是：
　　　　　　　　8 g 粉　：　180 ml　（普通啡杯）
　
分量呢樣野，都係憑經驗，各人的喜好矣，不用這麼精確。

How was the program?

Now it is not only Monkey pick tea, there is Monkey pick coffee.

There is also a coffee bean which was process by a kitten, the way they make it is that they let the kitten swallow the bean and wait it come out from the other end. Do you believe it?

You must be kidding.

This coffee is from Indonesia.  Itis called Luwak coffee.  It is much more expensive than the Blue Mountian.  

For the program, it is really interetsing.  You can also visit their website:

去SPOON 或 CAPRICE 喝 一杯 Luwak Coffee , 加埋一承惠一百八幾元，真係幾昴貴。

Yes, I did.
But I tried it in an other restaurant and I received a certificate after drinking this coffee.
It is not easy to describe it.
I tried it black and there wasn't any hint of bitterness.
The smoothness and the pleasant earthy flavor teased my palate after the cup was empty.

早前嘗過印尼著名咖啡品牌 Bari Dancer 所出的咖啡，覺得味道有點兒另類，未知有否嘗過呢？

唔好意思，我未聽過呢個品牌，所以也未嚐過其所出的咖啡，你能否多作介紹，如那裡可以購買和這品牌的咖啡種類？

Bari Dancer 在佐敦道裕華國貨地庫有售，標榜是100% Arabica
以 Ground Coffee 包裝出售。
　

近來反而喜歡到灣仔華潤大廈那間華潤超市買咖啡，可以買原粒啡豆，亦可以買即磨的啡粉，以100g.為最低消費重量，價錢以100g.計是：意大利、瑞士，賣$18, 莫加特濃$24，牙買加藍山$45。
　
以Pacific Coffee個網頁講，啡豆磨後，最好在五天內飲用，所以，100g.頗合適，然而，他們以透明膠袋作包裝，我不太喜歡，所以，買後，都會裝入舊啡袋，封口方面是摺兩摺，再加公文夾。
　
若以250g的份量來說，意大利 = 18 x 2.5 = $45，價錢與UCC差不多。
　
不過，即磨是會香許多的，有時放超過一星期，香味明顯減退。

Pacific Coffee serves lousy coffee  

若然是對咖啡機有興趣的話，我倒提議一個地方，尖東永安地庫，平均價在二千樓下，比起銅鑼灣SOGO所擺放的平許多

It is not easy and worthwhile to keep a coffee machine in HK. And drinking coffee has to be outside for enjoying the cafe atmosphere. A cozy cafe is the best, but nowadays not easy to find one.

Starbucks is just as bad.

but Starbucks at IFC has damn good view.

PCC is always "China style", you have to roll dice to see if you get good or bad coffee.

Starbucks is evenly average, not excellent coffee, but it's not that bad if you want something fast.  no different than 大家樂 or McDonalds.

if you want decent espresso style coffee in HK that's fastfood style, try Illy.  there's one in CWB past the elevators in Excelsior hotel, they also serve Macao's famous Lord Stow's portuguese egg tarts.  (famous doesn't = good)

It seems good!

I'm not a coffee lover and I seldom drink coffee, but if I try, I certainly try the most special ones.

Thanks for sharing.

Pacific Coffee serves lousy coffee  

　
什麼是 lousy coffee，很難說，每一日咖啡店都袛會 serve 一種特色的咖啡，比如某城市的口味，或某咖啡豆所製造的咖啡，其餘的，都是自家混合數種咖啡豆以造出一些多數人會喜歡的口味，再以此為基礎再加焦糖 / 克巧力 / 多奶 / 泡沬 ...... 之類的口味。
　
上好的咖啡並非每一個人都懂欣賞，亦不能照顧每一個人對咖啡豆的要求，所以，大部份人都接受的口味 = 最能賣錢的口味 = 最能維持生意額的口味。
　
好簡單，齋啡與牛奶咖啡的味道便完全不同，習慣飲用牛奶咖啡的人未必會喜歡齋啡，或甚至會抗拒也說不定，不信，到咖啡店要一杯 Expresso，Single Shoot 便可以了，若要了杯 Double Shoot 的話，飲唔慣可能會浪費。
