QUOTE(arubin @ Oct 13 2015, 04:28 PM) Actually Starbucks gets good quality beans even at normal outlets. Better quality than what you can get in the supermarket. don't know if they are using good quality beans for brewing but they are selling stale beans at the shelves I just dunno how they manage to fuck it up when they make your coffee. But you ask any decent barrista who knows their stuff, they'll all tell you Starbucks makes the milk too hot. normal baristas will fakap good coffee beans cos they usually mess up the the timing and ratio... cup not full enough? for a longblack, topup with water for others, fill it up with milk |

QUOTE(la bella @ Oct 15 2015, 05:03 PM) No. They are different. It's machine vs handmade. The brewing method is different from normal espresso. Espresso is made by machine. how different is this from normal drip 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. ![]() a very good 250gm bag of single origin costs around RM50, minum until muntah also can |

QUOTE(Doomsday @ Oct 16 2015, 03:21 PM) I tasted Highlander before also.. somehow I like the choco characteristic of 22 Martin. 250gm RM 50+ with GST. Now thinking to get other brand to try or cheaper solution let me know if you get anything interesting, anyway, i've also tried highlander's columbia and papapehalta's sumatran single origin... machem kopi limau but the sumatran has this flowery fragrant, not bad if minus the sour taste... |

I bought 22 Martin for 2 times. 1st time is not Espresso Roast, the flavor not really sour but have strong choco flavor. 2nd time I get 22 Martin Espresso Roast, taste sour.. i'm using french press Not sure espresso roast is sour? Kupi masta can enlighten? by right blends usually don't taste as sour, might be under extraction, your water not hot enough? |

QUOTE(xpole @ Oct 18 2015, 09:28 AM) Why u guys complain about shit barista? You expect the barista do their job slow and nicely when there are many customers waiting for their drinks? they can do their job at normal speed and maintain quality... having a long queue does not give them the rights to downgrade the quality, no? |

QUOTE(xpole @ Oct 18 2015, 09:34 AM) You know right Starbucks is famous. well for many people, coffee is just another drinkFor 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". 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 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 |
