因為有一張別人送的Starbucks $25 禮券,所以吃完午飯,來喝杯咖啡。薄荷朱古力咖啡(Mint Mocha) ($34) :略甜,沒什麼薄荷味,咖啡味不足,不夠香,似喝濃濃的朱古力。若當朱古力來喝是不錯的,但以咖啡來說則只是一般。因為用了$25禮券,所以加$9便有一杯。下次試試Latte或Espresso,希望咖啡味會香濃一些。

Believe it or not, I do not detest Starbucks: if I am honest to myself, I used to enjoy their weakish coffees with cakes on the odd occasions, plus there's no doubt their Green Tea Frappucino & Sausage Rolls ain't half-bad. I shall admit I still eat it once every 1 or 2 weeks as lunch! They also offer comfy sofa's for power-nap sessions if you manage to hog one. Upon seeing Starbuck Commercials introducing their new global blend based on Chinese Yunnan Beans, I thought why not? Bring

Believe it or not, I do not detest Starbucks: if I am honest to myself, I used to enjoy their weakish coffees with cakes on the odd occasions, plus there's no doubt their Green Tea Frappucino & Sausage Rolls ain't half-bad.
I shall admit I still eat it once every 1 or 2 weeks as lunch! They also offer comfy sofa's for power-nap sessions if you manage to hog one. Upon seeing Starbuck Commercials introducing their new global blend based on Chinese Yunnan Beans, I thought why not? Bring it on. SO MY 1ST EXPERIENCE OF IT CAME FROM FREE SAMPLES HANDED OUT by Starbucks Staff as a Dripped coffee, which tasted awkwardly grey & dishwasher-water like, but I was still not persuaded eitherway. Are Yunnan (雲南) beans blended together with other Asian Pacific 100% Arabica beans really that bad, just like their Black Truffles sux? Am I being too Xenophilious? Or is it really because Starbucks can't make coffees, considering most outlets now operate on Super-Auto machines and the remaining few outlets are being phrased out from their Semi-Auto machine stages, where one can't tell the difference between ash-water and real espresso. Well I was about to find out the truth TONIGHT, as I self-volunteered to work for Starbucks for 20 minutes, all in the comfort of my house!

NOTE: as mentioned on previous ARCAFFE review, the machine @ home is a domestic type around 1/20th the price of a true commercial-grade machine. The biggest drawback is it doesn't hold consistent enough temperatures plus it pulsates like a Cosine-wave: it's 'ON' for 0.3s then turns to 'OFF' for 0.5s-0.3s, even at Max Settings. The very short 0.3s 'ON' cycle is a terminal weakness as the coffee-cake is not subjected enough to continous, pressurised extraction such as what true espresso's need to be extracted at. Therefore, my experience says that Espresso Shots made from my Sunbeam Machine are @ Max 70-75% of what commercial machines can produce in terms of flavour depth. Its MILK FROTH QUALITY is also too weak, around 25% capacity. >_< So, others should mentally extrapolate these following data for your own reference.


******************************
ESPRESSO SHOT 1 - 94C Degrees Nominal
On a typical benchmark grind setting, this poured rather poorly. This Blend likes finer-grind adjustments! This end resultant cup was thin ashy-water with a mild-acid beneath, although already better than typical Starbuck shots! ^_^' Really poor shot personally, discarded down the sink.
SCORE: 1.5/5
ESPRESSO SHOT 2 - 92C Degrees
I felt the beans were slightly over-roasted and unfresh, despite it being a new batch roasted in America then imported back into China!
I adjusted down the machine temperature to see if it carried any fruity body. This 2nd shot, with completely re-tuned Grinder & Machine Temperature settings was ok-good, completely different from what one would expect from ANY Starbucks outlets. Mildly sweet & not acrid for once, for some reason I stopped this shot a bit short for an Espresso. The Crema and Viscosity were thicker than expected and it held up, but I think botherline so! The description says it should be Mid-bodied, Mildly Acidic and Herbal: pretty spot on, except it tastes Chinese Medicine like Herbal and not the Italian fresh grassy-herbs I had in my mind! SCORE: 3.5/5
ESPRESSO SHOT 3 - 92C 'Nominal' Degrees, Tighter Grind, ~9-10g Grind Size in Single Basket, 15ml Shot, 30 secs.
Adjusted the Grind and Tamping pressure again, Temperature held constant. This was deliberately poured as a ristretto-spectrum style for fun and testing the YUNNAN BLEND's all rounded-ness. It ended up being pretty-good for a Starbucks coffee, but one can tell its NOT high quality arabica beans as its lacking the desired complex layering & flavour profiles, it wasn't too 'Ethiopian Arabica Bean' aromatic! Not surprising, considering Yunnan coffee is now mostly sourced from lesser catimor rather than bourbon or typica arabicas, due to its versatility and resistance to rust. Surprisingly, the finish lingered enough for around 5 secs. *One must remember this experiment was done on a home-machine, so it should fare better in commercial machines. SCORE: 3.9/5

CAPPUCINO - 92C Degrees
It was mildly sweet but perhaps its my machine's limitations, it didn't carry as much aroma or flavours as I'd envisioned, instead carrying a bit of 鐵打酒 influence. Or perhaps its just a poor base shot, or the barista not being able to make this coffee properly? One should never discount all possibilities! >.< SCORE: 4/5
CAFFE LATTE - 92C Degrees
This unfortunately, I made with a mediocre-plus Espresso shot base. It was pleasant and I would happily drink this, but knowing it wasn't perfectly made to its 100% potential. Milk-froth a bit thin compared to commercial steam wand. SCORE: 4/5
************************

ALL IN ALL, FOR HKD $90/250g,
THE 'SOUTH OF THE CLOUD' BLEND BY STARBUCKS IS ACTUALLY OK-GOOD.
ITS FLAVOUR IS UNIQUE BUT LACKS DEPTH OF ESSENTIAL ARABICA BEAN COFFEE OILS. YUNNAN BEANS NOWADAYS ARE MOSTLY BASED ON 'CATIMOR' ARABICA VARIETY THAN TYPICA OR BOURBON, DUE TO ITS RESISTANCE TO WEATHER AND RUST. I DON'T EXPECT THIS TO TASTE GOOD @ ACTUAL STARBUCKS SHOPS, AS IT DOESN'T CARRY ENOUGH FLAVOURS OR POTENTIAL TO BLUFF ITS WAY ON SUPER-AUTO MACHINES, OR THE SCARCE REMAINING SEMI-AUTOMATIC MACHINES OPERATED BY STAFF WHO DON'T CALIBRATE THE BEAN FOR ITS TIGHT, NARROW WORKING WINDOW!


I'D SAY ITS NOT AS BOLD AS IT CLAIMS TO BE, COMPARED TO THEIR TYPICAL DARK ESPRESSO BLEND ANYWAY. YUNNAN COFFEE HAVE ALWAYS BEEN PART OF STARBUCK'S 'NORMAL BLEND' AS A FILLER, ITS JUST THAT THIS TIME - IT RECEIVES A MARKETABLE 'SOUTH OF THE CLOUD' LOGO AND CENTRAL ATTENTION AS A CORE BEAN IN A BLEND, WITHIN AN ALL ASIAN-PACIFIC SOURCED BEAN SHOOTOUT!
MID '4' I GUESS? BUT ONLY WHEN MADE BY BABEDOLPHIN, COZ HE'S PROBABLY UP HIMSELF AND THINK HE'S KNOWLEDGEABLE & A WANNABE COFFEE EXPERT, OR ELSE, HAS ENOUGH 'BLUFFING SKILLS' TO BE ELIBIGLE AS A FEARSOME POKER PLAYER 1 DAY!

Starbucks 的聖誕紅杯又出場了! 今次要試試新出的 Dark Cherry Mocha。要了 Short Light and Light Whip 的 ($31) --> Barista 主動問我要多甜定少甜, 多Whip 定少 Whip, 值得一讚。自行加了朱古力粉 (本來想用作裝飾的, 但朱古力粉倒出來時已結成一舊舊, 好難看) 。味道嘛…基本上是有兒童咳水味的朱古力奶! (我想只有兒童的咳水才有櫻桃味的吧。) 朱古力味倒還有一點, 但咖啡味則是完全喝不出來, yuck。今年的聖誕紅杯是以聖誕鹿為主題, 我喜歡。另試食了Gingerbread Loaf Cake (去年也有的), 麻麻地啦, 太乾身了。

這日吃完午飯想飲番杯coffee,來到starbucks收銀姐姐介紹我飲聖誕限定版coffeeDark Cherry Mocha﹗入口很甜,一陣櫻桃咳藥水味,咖啡的香氣給藥水味搶了,只剩下一杯甜糖水﹗一日都係自己貪新鮮之過﹗怪不了人﹗所以雖然唔好飲,都不可以給它一個喊評呢﹗

雖然中秋節剛過, 都快快手寫番篇月餅啦!其實我吃的不是正路的星巴克月餅 (有一次來試食了今年的兩款各一小件, 難食到呢...) 而是放在餅櫃內的 Raspberry Moonlight Mousse Cake ($27)。這件餅活脫脫是一個月餅的形狀和包裝了嘛, 連餅上都放了個"月"字的朱古力牌, 真是此地無銀。別理是不是真正的月餅了, 現在香港幾多月餅是 "正常" 的呢?樣子是不錯, 味道就爭少少。白色慕絲外層只是一味的甜, 吃不出其他味道來, 反而裡面的紅莓醬餡料還更好吃。都係得啖笑應下節算了。另點了一杯 Tall Iced Black Tea ($20), 唔其實即是普通紅茶的味道啦, 但吃月餅總要飲杯茶消下滯的對嗎?

OK this is yet another addition to the ever-growing SB family...there's just a branch across the street and now they can still afford to have another one, awesomeWhile you may think the coffee and the food in every SB shop may be the same, 蛇竇 is the word to describe this particular branch. There is an area round the corner that is pretty much secluded and no one will notice you there...surely it will become one of the nearby offices' Snake King favourites.This time I tried the Souffle Cheese Cak

OK this is yet another addition to the ever-growing SB family...there's just a branch across the street and now they can still afford to have another one, awesome

While you may think the coffee and the food in every SB shop may be the same, 蛇竇 is the word to describe this particular branch. There is an area round the corner that is pretty much secluded and no one will notice you there...surely it will become one of the nearby offices' Snake King favourites.

This time I tried the Souffle Cheese Cake ($25). It's like your usual spongy Japanese chesse cake and it's not too sweet or heavy. It's simple comfort food but nothing impressive lah.

Strange that they have NO iced Tazo teas on the menu (I don't like sweetened tea) so I had to order a hot one (Tall $20) and ask the staff to give me a cup of ice. Why just hasn't anyone thought of this?

That said, now there's one point that has made me a die-hard supporter of SB - free Wifi. Like McDonald's Starbucks nows offers 20 mins of free Wifi courtesy of Y5Zone.
