Mecca Espresso

去年朋友來這兒也到過這家咖啡店，著我來試試，可惜一直也沒有機會，直到今天。

愛這兒簡單的格局，絕不花巧；但也許因它鄰近就是TAFE，總覺它是為學生而設的咖啡店。

 

今天所選的：

先來一個single shot espresso, 它今天的單品是Guatemala La Saledad，強烈的果酸與辛辣令你醒神，而後給你橙／檸檬的餘韻口感。

 

再來一杯espresso，它沒有花巧的拉花，但奶泡打得很幼滑，入口是出奇的甜；沒錯，是甜，即使你心情是如何的不佳，本想哭的眼睛，也會把淚水收起，臉上泛起甜甜的微笑。

 

咖啡師說，內有30%是肯雅豆，其餘的大部份是埃塞俄比亞豆。

還得讚的，是它們烘的豆分不同品種，也以不同的烘焙度，建議你用不同的方法烹煮咖啡，例如是意式咖啡、虹吸壼或滴濾法。

 

I was recommended by a friend to try this café last year but haven’t had a chance until today.

Perhaps because of the close proximity to Ultimo TAFE, this café gives me the impression as a students’ café, being friendly and approachable.

Today’s Pick:

Single shot espresso of single origin Guatemala La Saledad: strong fruity acidity, spicy flavor, with an orange/lemon aftertaste.

The cappuccino didn’t have flourished art but the froth was so delicate that it gave a silky texture.  More importantly, it gave a surprise: strong sweetness that you would smile even if you were about to cry.  The barista said there were 30% of beans from Kenya while most of the remaining from Ethiopia.

They are not only roasting for cafés, but also individual customers.  You can pick from their variety of beans (different packages).  The recommended brewing methods (espresso, filter and siphon) make them very customer-friendly.
