I notice in the picture one of the barista is wearing a hat indoors, can't help but to wonder if Starbucks Reserve is bringing in their crew from coffea coffee? lel

Actually Starbucks gets good quality beans even at normal outlets. Better quality than what you can get in the supermarket.

I just dunno how they manage to fuck it up when they make your coffee. sweat.gif

But you ask any decent barrista who knows their stuff, they'll all tell you Starbucks makes the milk too hot.

RM5/hr have to do every thing.

a friend told me, Starbucks barista is not for human. the post as 'barista', you have to do every thing

wash plate, cups, throw rubbish, wipe table, make coffee, cashier, dessert and etc.

Starbucks reserve is a a new marketplace for the corporation to handle something called a super-premium market or in others the third wave of the cafe push globally.

I drink starbucks for free everyday.

Actually Starbucks gets good quality beans even at normal outlets. Better quality than what you can get in the supermarket.

I just dunno how they manage to fuck it up when they make your coffee. sweat.gif

But you ask any decent barrista who knows their stuff, they'll all tell you Starbucks makes the milk too hot.

It depends on the barrista also. Some makes it perfect. And some like "follow my mood".

Kns laa this branch... Last time I went there, I realize the price more expensive. I thought Starbuck also increased their price due to various economy factor.

So I ask the cashier is it true? He told me no, this branch is memang more expensive and high keras. I ask him again, so the beans are of better quality? No also. Only different is that outlet design are of designer's quality, nothing to do with the drink. So u are buying the environment...

I cannot accept such explanation as I dun feel anything special compare to other branches. Sit also not like lebih comfortable.

Will definitely boikot this branch... Bodo, if ppl dapao then u also wanna charge higher? Bean quality same only cibai Vincent tan... mad.gif

Agreed. Too watered down, even Colombia brew I tried in US also watered down (I tried homebrewed colombia beans bought in Giant Malaysia is better). Heck, Kapal Api is so far one of the best in my book.

I'm not coffee expert to be honest

I don't know how they gonna differentiate it but starbuck reserve claimed that they don't use the normal coffee beans that the current coffee joint so they charge it more due to its 'exclusivity' and rareness

No. They are different. It's machine vs handmade. The brewing method is different from normal espresso. Espresso is made by machine.
QUOTE
Espresso is coffee brewed by forcing a small amount of nearly boiling water under pressure through finely ground coffee


This Starbucks reserve coffee is made by pour-over manual brewing system. It's more rich and aromatic compared to machine made coffee. If you favor black coffee, this tastes better than espresso based americano. And not forget to mention that the beans are single origin beans compared to normal starbucks using mixed beans.

You bodo ke? I can easily afford. It's just that their coffee really sucks. If you can't tell the difference, than you need to get your tongue checked.

I prefer smaller non-chain cafes with better trained barristas and more flavorful beans.

If I do end up in a chain, I prefer either Plan BB, Artisan Roast, or even Espresso Lab. These places make a better cup of coffee than Starbucks, and they at least know what a Flat White is.

I only ever go to Starbucks when there is no better option, such as it's the only cafe with enough seating for the group. Or I got overruled by majority vote. It's alway my last choice when it comes to cafes.

Better take /k/ posers for a pinch of salt.

There are those who follow the barista, the barista leaves the cafe, so do the customers.

Also we have those who follow which roastery the cafe sources. Alot keep clear of green-badged cafes serving charcoal beans.

And then we have those sheep who follow the big brands like a cult. Doesn't matter, had iphone/mekbukpro starbucks. *Cough*
Then brag about quality.

Haha, I am not such an expert coffee connoisseur.

But I know just enough to be able to able to tell that Starbuck somehow makes a very flat coffee with no character. Which is odd, really, since their beans are actually quite decent when you go to take a look.

They also overheat their milk. I heard its because Malaysian customers (them ignorant fools) kept asking why the milk isn't hot enough. Good cafes stick to the proper temperature (65-70 celsius, as milk denatures above 70) and will only boil it (in other words, ruin the cup) on customer request.

Info for the sheep right there, on the nature and art of coffee. biggrin.gif

Starbucks also seems to specialize more in frappucinos, which is incidentally coffee made from lower quality beans than that which is used for hot coffee. Why lower quality? Because you can't fucking tell the difference in those sugar-loaded cups of crap. Some places do know how to make a good cold brew though.

I usually only ever drink hot coffee. Flat whites for preference. Lattes on occassion. Long black if they have really good beans and the barrista seems to know their stuff.

You bodo ke? I can easily afford. It's just that their coffee really sucks. If you can't tell the difference, than you need to get your tongue checked.

I prefer smaller non-chain cafes with better trained barristas and more flavorful beans.

If I do end up in a chain, I prefer either Plan BB, Artisan Roast, or even Espresso Lab. These places make a better cup of coffee than Starbucks, and they at least know what a Flat White is.

I only ever go to Starbucks when there is no better option, such as it's the only cafe with enough seating for the group. Or I got overruled by majority vote. It's alway my last choice when it comes to cafes.

Lol like I said, sometimes I still end up in Starbucks anyway despite my dislike of the chain. sweat.gif

No choice. Group say go, have to go lor. But I generally try to steer the choice away from Starbucks, Coffee Bean, or Pacific Coffee. I don't like those 3 chains. wink.gif

by right blends usually don't taste as sour, might be under extraction, your water not hot enough?

You know right Starbucks is famous.
For example you go Starbucks Setia Alam. It's crowded like pasar malam on Friday & Saturday night.

And one of our culture is "Tidak boleh tunggu lama lama, nanti marah, complain slow service".

well for many people, coffee is just another drink

only a handful of arses like me have expectation towards coffee and go anal over a messed up espresso to milk ratio in a cappuccino laugh.gif
that's why i said... shit baristas can't differentiate latte and cappuccino...
to them because of the long queue, just top up the cappuccino with milk, nobody's going to give a crap if it taste like latte anyway laugh.gif

Malaysia doesn't really have a coffee culture, more like a show off culture.

Starbucks fail in nations where coffee has some standard.

Likewise mass produced Asian food here don't work well.

i worked as a barista before. start work at 8am and continuous non stop until 11am + . This was in Melbourne CBD Queens St. There's absolutely no excuse to give bad coffee even if you have a long line of people waiting.

Somehow now we got coffee hierarchy:

Coffee for Upper tier - starfudge reserve

Coffee for Middle tier - starfudge/coffeebean/san francisco/etc

Coffee for lower tier - kopi o kaw << Always win and always be. Heck even the upper tier and middle tier still go for kopi o kaw

one thing I don't understand. if the place is so packed and full until no place to sit down, why would customers even bother buying a cup to go ?

after all the whole point of upmarket coffee is to sit there for a long time and show off right ?
