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

Actual Wing On Dept. store?

Pacific Coffee serves lousy coffee  

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)

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 bittern ...

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.

澳門近澳電/海富花園左右有間檀香山(有好多其他同名店, 我只去呢間).

去過你就知"港式"既TOP咖啡係乜.  我飲開brazilian santos.  仲要加多杯"機茶" (用espresso機出既紅茶), 超正.

點解我成日針對現時既港食? 因為用心度連澳門都不如....

同樣, 新馬路噴水池Watson's樓下間Singing Bean...  入去試下佢地D蛋糕 (尤其係個CARAMEL CRUNCH).  食過就明...

No taste, no coffee aroma, no after-taste. That is BAD!

No taste，這點很少會遇到，可能我要求低，雀巢最基本的那隻即溶咖啡，我都覺得taste good 　No taste，都試過，Robert Timms 有隻Freeze dry 的即溶咖啡(銀色蓋)，就真係冇味。:sle ...

Try McCafe. Much better than PC and SB.

每一間 Super Sandwiches 都標榜選用illy咖啡，他們會放許多罐illy(銀色圓罐紅色字)在當眼處。套餐(三文治或意粉)可選咖啡為餐飲，加$5則轉為cappuccino，最近都試過要了一份三文治餐配Cappuccino，杯啡確實 ...

所以先要去正式illy飲....

Well. I agree with u. But for the balance of comforatble sitting environment and taste of coffee. I think Starbucks is the best among the three franchise shops.

For ambience, SB is best. For quality, McCafe is really not bad and also good value.

COVA 的即磨咖啡重正, 比 illy 好得多. 只可惜分店不多

I must respectfully disagree here. Illy is really good but not many outlets.

COVA is just expensive.

Illy is good but the coffee is roasted in Italy and shipped to here.  Taste may be affected.

In fact, freshly grinded coffee is much better.  Cova is one of the oldest restaurant with good cafe in Milano (just learn from the program "The Great Italian Cafe").  Although it is expensive, it is worth....

They are still roasted in Italy and shipped to HK?

usually, i'll just associate what you said with:
different people different tastes

i also quite like cova, but they're not the same thing as illy, at least not in HK.  Cova has restaurants and restaurant style food.  Illy AFAIK serves Starbucks/PC style fast food coffee.  so, unless you are referring to their beans which you bring home to brew your own cup of coffee, please stop comparing the two as the same thing.

if you are talking about their beans, then i have no idea what you are getting at.  If Illy's coffee is roasted in Italy and shipped here, then wouldn't Cova do the same?  If it's roasted in Hong Kong, then i question their standards and quality of roasting in Hong Kong.


btw, on a side note, stay away from Cafe Zambra's coffee (Stewart rd. and Jaffe rd. in Wanchai, next to Tom Lee).  Quite bad and even more over-roasted than Starbucks.

我又唔覺得PPC如你們講得那麼差, 較為喜歡SB也許是基於口味吧,..

Bad? It is TERRIBLE!
