一直聽見很多食友對這所咖啡店正面的評價，也想試很久了，加上之前去The Blend of Danes的時候，連Craig也向我推薦這所店子，所以心存厚望，今天拉了女友來一起停一停，喝一杯心目中會很美味的咖啡。坐落於IFC的三樓，舖租一定甘過甘草茶，這也反映在咖啡的價錢上，這兒的價錢是要比The Blend of Danes的貴上近倍，但沒有辦法，事實如此，也只能希望能在中環喝一口妙絕的咖啡，大家安頓好之後，我就走了出去看有什麼好喝，這裡的款式也是一應俱全，由基本的Ristretto、Espresso、Cappuccino、Latte，到Long Black、Flat White、Iced Espresso及Affogato，選擇都真的挺多。店家用上的咖啡機當然屬專業級數，看來其穩定度會很高吧，加上現在是已經下午三時多，應該不用擔心這一點吧。要了一杯Tall的Cappuccino及一杯Double Espresso，看着由一位大件頊的男店員主理，為我們拉出Espresso及打奶泡，等了數分鐘就有得喝了。喝Espresso要快，其實一看起來已知出事，Crema是薄得過份的那個程度，然後也先

真係ＦＩＬＬ到一肚火因為weekend, 可能著得太casual, 所以被那裡的女barista歧視。態度極差!!! 好像不想serve我的!!!!!!心想：suen laaa 都是慕名而來試coffee的，所以不跟她計較。。。點知。。。真係人差沖Ｄ　Ｏ野都係衰！！！ordered two regular latte, please see the pictures as below:Latte 不合standard的! milk foam is more than 1cm! espresso is under-extracted!! very very weak!!! 奶唔夠綿滑！極over-heated!!! is over 60~65'CLatte Art sucks！好明顯係新手! 新手就咪咁串la! 自己Ｏ野都未得，Ｄ態度己經咁差！！！著得差唔代表唔識飲coffee的!

I noticed most of the coffee connoisseurs here order the likes of cappuccino, espresso, latte and mocha. However, since Fuel is a New Zealand brand (born and bred in Wellington, the capital) and New Zealanders love their flat white, it'd be wrong not to order one. For those who aren't accustomed to antipodean ways of coffee drinking, a flat white is a coffee beverage prepared by pouring steamed milk from the bottom of steaming pitcher over a single shot (30ml) or double shot (60ml) of espresso.

一殷時間會專登上門...也曾喜歡那espresso 雖則28元一個doppio 人比以前多了很多. 但不知怎的沙北化了...只是相聚的bar 不再像間有heart的啡店. espresso 留在口中的餘留,竟然是沒有的. picolo latte 奶泡多了過火.... 好在選擇還多的是. 留下那兒的金融才智在那裡吧...! 希望下次好返啦

I've tried Fuel's iced Latte over 10 times since late 2009.Fuel can deliver consistent quality of good and high quality service.Taste of coffee: strong, solid, not bitterOverall Grade:

Long story short, 在一日的咖啡 Quota 差不多用盡之前，我在 Fuel order 了杯 Espresso。女店員用 Dark blend 拉了一 shot 很滿 crema 但顏色不算漂亮的 Espresso 給我，一口喝下去，又是這種味 ，這咖啡的 Taste profile 和 Oscar's Espresso Bar 的很像，酸中帶微微的焦糖甜和香料味，只是這兒的味道 (尤其是酸味) 活潑很多，少了丁點複雜感，而 Body 沒有 Oscar 那邊那麼 Buttery... 到底是我味覺失調，飲得太多而 fragile，還是兩家 blender share 差不多的 blending philosophy?不過...$24 一個 shot 真的很貴，有不少去了 IFC 的租金和管理吧

As mentioned from the title. I enjoyed a nice tea time with u-buddy on a Sun afternoon. I had the Mocha - very nice it looked. As expected - very chocolaty, yet the coffee was still strong, balanced. And the texture was very thick. It could really fill up your stomach as the cup was not small!!!Nice service. The only thing gotta improve was the seating. I dun like the chairs, I could not sit comfortably there ... anywaz, the coffee chat outweighed the flaw =P

Finally gave this coffee shop a try. Maybe it has been quite highly regarded by others, so I had a pretty high expectation on their espresso based coffee. There were already a lot of foreigners in the coffee shop, which again gave me an impression that the coffee should be pretty good.Ordered a caffe latte and a whole wheat carrot cake. The latte tastes okay but too bitter. With my limited knowledge about espresso making, it should be either overly extracted or the beans being not fresh enough.

終於試了，Cappuccino 真不錯的，奶foam夠濃又幼細，coffee底亦夠味。Best in 中上環? 我覺得 one of the best la閉在環境唔夠relaxing，始終IFC的open area嫲，周圍氣氛同格局緊緊張張的，影響到欣賞coffee，對我而言小店適合D

來過幾次，但是不知道該怎麼寫食評，我只能算是喜歡喝咖啡，與在這裡出沒的太多咖啡高手道行相差太多。不過為了讓我的OpenRice裡的開飯食行蹤也加上這一家，硬著頭皮也要來說說我與Fuel的故事。第一次來是2008年9月，Bear Sterns、Merrill Lynch分別倒下，AIG、BOA爛帳纏身，股市、債市亂七八糟，週遭的朋友包括自己都是人人自危，但是莫名其妙卻老是在天天加班，整個心情低潮到不行。雷曼倒下的那個週末，決定對自己好一點，到IFC買一副昂貴的墨鏡，店裡的Sales還跟我閒聊「很多什麼什麼兄弟的客戶都沒有到店裡消費了」，苦笑隨便打幾個哈哈付了錢，隨後上了手扶梯到Fuel的樓層，遠遠看到一位女店員酷似王菲在重慶森林裡的造型，正好大力女王想要喝杯飲料，便在Fuel的吧檯前坐下。已經不記得那天我點的是什麼咖啡了，只記得不喝咖啡的大力女王那天很難得點了「Iced Espresso」，咖啡泡非常的綿密，咖啡略帶點苦但不澀，可能是我喝過最好喝的冰咖啡。聽著大力女王與「王菲」有一句沒一句的聊著，「王菲」嘰哩聒啦的快樂語調也多少感染了我，喝完咖啡離開心情也好了許多。好喝的咖啡、嘰哩聒啦的

For $30+ it's not cheap and it's not in the best location in IFC (Simply Life, Isola, RED etc have that), but if it's brilliant espresso-based coffee you want, this place can't be beat. On par, or even better than Crema in TST East, also a haunt for in-the-know coffee lovers.

Just having a very weak cappuccino there, unbelievably weak!!I drink at here b4, it is V nice, n even might be best in IFC. (not during lunch time, and a year ago) But today I am so disappointed. (during lunch time) I wait 15 minutes to get my cup after paid, and the Cappuccino is just like a cup heated up PURE milk topped with chocolate, but seems like without coffee.You charge me $36 for a regular sized coffee and I don’t expect a cup of hot PURE milk. $36, I can go straight to citysuper to g

這裡真的要專登上來....次次都係 也不會逗留多過五分鐘 為的是呷一口...可以停留的三十分鐘. 但為何喜歡上從OZ / KIWI 來的espresso ? 反而至憎cova？ 口味而已

打 完 波 & 行 得 多 令 雙 腳 太 疲 倦來 到 IFC 找 個 地 方 飲 下 野, 傾 下 偈 順 便 充 充 氣本 想 去 LGB, 但 又 不 太 想 吃 Macaron, 又 上 了 一 層 去 Fuel acheter un café pour relaxer.人 不 算 少, 但 也 有 位 坐. 但 椅 子 不 是 很 舒 服, 背 部 不 是 軟 軟 的, 不 能 真 正 的 relax地 半 躺 半 坐Caffe mocha賣 相 是 如 此 的 討 好, 令 人 眼 前 一 亮朱 古 力 碎 灑 在 半 邊 幼 滑 的 泡 上而 令 我 喜 愛 的 是 杯 的 顏 色, 那 種 綠 青 是 給 人 聯 想 到 古 老 的 瓷 器, 加 上 一 條 幼 幼的 金 邊 又 加 上 了 高 貴 的 感 覺, 就 令 人 覺 得 真 正 在 relax 地 high teaMocha 由espresso, chocolate, milk and foam 組 成 (有 錯 請 提 醒)比 例 出 錯 都 會 影 響 味 道, 但 最 重 要 都 是 espress

30-9-2009中環的「疑似咖啡專門店」特別多, 知道呢度有「真正」的咖啡店, 想試好耐了, 奈何 lunch hour 經常爆滿, 是日放工後終於來了. 叫了 caffe latte (regular $36)... 面頭奶泡十分幼滑, 下面的咖啡夠厚, 十分香濃, 甘而不苦澀, 正 好喜歡呢度的出品, 極力推介!環境開揚, 位置較隱閉, 蛇王或飲嘢傾偈都一流; 店員們幾友善, 感覺好舒服的一個地方.放低 $36, 會再來的.
