How to
define a good café? To me, putting aside
the quality of beans, consistency of brewing (barista skills) is of prime
importance. Di Bella Roasting Warehouse
was the first few cafés I visited when I started my coffee journey in Sydney. Each and every time of the subsequent visits,
coffee and food were of good quality.
Today I
brought a group of friends to come for a coffee gathering. The location is perfect, situated close to
Central Station. Most of the cafés in
Surry Hills close on the weekend. Di
Bella is one of the exceptions. The
place is quiet and you can enjoy good coffee chat with friends.
As
usual, apart from house-blend coffee, you can also enjoy single-origin coffee
here. Today, they had Costa Rican
coffee. My day was lightened up by this
well-prepared cappuccino with single-origin Costa Rican beans: well-frothed,
with chocolate flavor, medium after-taste and good temperature.
Each
plate of our ordered food was well-made with reasonable price and good portion
size. Flavour was good as well!
Wanna
try some cold-drip coffee? There you go
for a huge-sized cold-drip set which attracts your attention soon after you
enter the entrance.
If you
want to make some home-made coffee, there is a variety of different brewing
tools for you to choose, including mini-cold drip set, siphon set, mocha brewer,
plunger, hand-drip filter, etc.
For a
couple of lazy weekend mornings, I sat in this café reading books or observing
the baristas and customers. Life can be
simple and beautiful when you give yourself some quiet time to observe people
around us. I like Di Bella, and I liked
the moments spent there!

怎去定義一間咖啡店為好的咖啡店? 對我而言,若不把豆子的品質計算在內,沖煮咖啡技巧的一致性絕對是首要的重要性。這咖啡店是我來到悉尼以後,最先光顧的數間之一。往後的每一次光顧中,它的咖啡與食品質素,也相當之高。
今天,我帶一班朋友來這兒聚會。它的地點實在很好,因為就近就是中央火車站。同時Surry Hills一帶大部份的咖啡店,在週末都不營業,而Di Bella就是例外之一。這地方,基本上很寧靜,適合跟友人邊歎咖啡邊談心。
如常地,除了咖啡店的調配口味外,你也可以享用單品豆子。今天,我就選了一杯來自歌斯達黎加來的豆子。這一天,就因為這杯怡人的咖啡,整天的心情也被燃亮起:泡沬充份地打發、帶巧克力的味道、中度的餘韻感、溫度也適宜。
我們點選的每一碟食物也很好,不只做很美味和賣相好,價錢及份量也很合理。
想試一點冰滴咖啡嗎? 這兒有一座超大的冰滴咖啡壼,當你一進咖啡店,你的視綫會不期然被它吸引。
若你想試在家做咖啡,這兒有很多不同沖煮法所需的工具,包括:小型冰滴壼、虹吸壼、意式加熱煮咖啡壼、壓壼、手沖濾杯等。
有幾個懶懶的週未天,我坐在這兒看書,或觀察咖啡師與顧客。當你容許自己一點寧靜的時間去觀察身旁的人,生活其實是可以這樣簡單及美麗。我喜愛Di Bella,也喜愛在這兒渡過的時刻!
