妈咪平时没什么爱好,唯独喜欢煮食,及近几年爱上饮咖啡,不过饮得并不考究,只要闻到咖啡香就好满足了.见到团购有优惠而且是间新店,反正差不多一半价钱就可以饮到人手亲自调较的咖啡,妈咪每次去街闻到咖啡香,不其然流露出喜悦的神色,每次想请她饮,她都推搪话贵,她说一样都是那些咖啡,不如回家饮即溶冲包剂,哈哈我妈咪就是如此了妈咪因为不太喜欢太重奶味饮品,那位年轻小伙子听到我同妈咪的对话,于是主动提议介绍美式咖啡,他说这款奶是分开上,客人可自己调较份量,见他年纪轻轻可能是个学徒吧!今日就是他为我们冲咖啡,不过都有位大姐姐从傍指点,我想她应该是位咖啡师吧!棒子咖啡~~今日我尝试用心去欣赏吓这杯咖啡,说真一句闻唔到浓烈的咖啡香,入口有少少苦但唔涩,好淳好滑,我都是那种不懂辨别咖啡好与怀的人,不过我蛮喜欢这杯咖啡的口感美式咖啡~~同样咖啡的香味唔够,我饮了一两口,无棒子咖啡那么滑,唔知是否同妈咪无落太多奶有关,但论味道我还是喜欢自己那杯饮完问妈咪意见,她话唔好饮,无咖啡味而且还差过家中自己冲的那种,可能今日她饮的这款唔太适合她口味,而且咖啡味唔够浓郁,不过觉得店员对客人,招待亲切有礼,亦感到他们对冲咖啡的热,店面细细但装修精致,设备好骨子,希望他们的努力,能碰上更多懂得欣赏的人

礼拜日时专登走去试杯咖啡，之前其实都揾过朋友探听，知道呢道一杯Syphon要$36，讲真，都真系几贵，不过都觉得要支持下，同试下。去到，专登叫左杯耶加雪夫，因为自己屋企都有豆，想试试自己冲成点。Barista姐姐都好Nice，最紧要系问佢嘅嘢都识答，证明唔系求其请个人返黎冲。冲嘅时候我全程都留意住每个细节，同我冲开嘅时间，温度都好唔同。一饮之下，有啲惊喜，入口不会有强烈嘅苦或酸味，好温和，入口舒服。而家香港识饮咖啡嘅人实在唔多，识欣赏精品咖啡嘅人更少，再加上见佢系公平贸易，虽然啲豆真系贵几多下，都要支持支持，所以买左包豆。返屋企调整左自己冲Syphon嘅方法，实在好左好多，$36学到嘢，值得～

时间系下昼2点几，系团购网买左$50蚊现金劵，所以走左去试!因为饮咖啡的口味好个人的，所以写评前我都系写一写我本人对咖啡的偏好先。我钟意中至深度烘焙的咖啡豆，酸味适中，甘味重，苦味少，意式冲泡的咖啡!间舖仔系吉XX超市收银处对出，只有两张椅，无食物供应的，我买的现金劵亦不能买店内售卖的公平贸易朱古力!我叫左一杯Espresso(DOUBLE)$18堂食，一杯冻Mocha拎走!刚刚$50收钱个男仔搅左几次都计错数，最后要个咖啡师过嚟搅!因为店内唯二果两张椅都有人坐，所以我站在则边饮!杯Espresso个样唔错，但饮左一啖我只可以讲句: It's not my cup of coffee!味道:香味不浓，酸味重，甘味少，苦味都几强，我落左一包糖唔得，要落等二包先中和到D苦味!饮完拎杯Mocha走，好多冰，唔知系咪因为咁，好淡，唔甜，虽然用同一只咖啡，但呢个就无乜苦味!我谂呢只咖啡豆烘焙应该比较低，如果用虹管冲可能会好饮d，意式机冲就好似唔系咁合我口味!返到屋企上OPEN RICE先知原来佢可以加钱拣用其他咖啡豆，下次我会试下叫咖啡豆冲的，睇下会唔会好D!

Aptly named Coffee Lab for its exploratory approach to experimenting with the world of coffee, they are the latest arm of the well known Xen Coffee, well known for their exceptional Siphon Coffees and specialty imports of ethically sourced Coffee Bean batches from around the globe. This cafe brand is housed by both coffee lover Dixon, as well as Helen, the Runner Up in the World Siphonist Championship 2010 in Japan last year. I have already tried her coffee before at Xen, but I came past here just to take a peek and there she was, so I know I was in for a treat!There are only 2 seats here however, reminding me of Kitamura Coffee and Wah Sing Coffee in Sai Wan, so you're literally sitting and watching over every move by the Siphonist/Barista up close and personal, it nearly makes you embarrassed to be watching up so close as you might disrupt their work!Coffee Lab's House Blend Espresso - Brazil, Yirgacheffe & Indonesian:- 1st of all, the beans look fairly light roasted for an Espresso extraction, it was still dark green to light brown at most. Very surprising.- The extracted Espresso had a Light Beige colour, medium-level crema and underneath a low-mid body.- This shot was surprisingly VERY balanced, no annoying jagged edges and very fragrant from the low level roasted beans' natural flavours, not from a toasty roasting. This was followed in the mouth with a balanced sweetness that is belied by its light roasting appearance.- And from what is predominantly unwashed processed beans, there was surprisingly very little earthiness present, it was almost like a honey-processed cup. The beans might have been self washed and cleaned in small batches before roasting? - This was an abnormality, a misnomer of a cup VS the visual que and expectations! Yet it was AMAZINGLY well structured and very daily drinkable, with a clean and middle lasting finish! FROM A BLEND USING WHAT IS A FAIRLY RECOGNISABLE BLEND AND AIMED AT THE MASS MARKET, EXCEPT THE INCLUSION OF A G-2 YIRGACHEFFE, THIS OUTCOME WAS UNEXPECTEDLY, HIGHLY ENJOYABLE. 5/5Siphon Brewed by Helen: Papua New Guinea AA:- The Siphoning Beam heater set up here is different from Xen's Coffee, with a much smaller footprint. But surprisingly it didn't take long until the cup arrived, may be Helen is too swift from her championship training!- Cup was quite scorching hot when it arrived, and upon the 1st sip, there was that distinctive Papua New Guinea wildness & dark liquorice like coating at the back of the mouth, which doesn't really leave until it cools right down, so it exists separately from the almost floral and acidic main frame. I've always found PNG 'different' in this aspect, so I guess that's why I wanted to re-try some as cafes in HK are importing more of it when it was largely ignored before. Halfway down it developed the promised ripe lemon citrusy tone, with a slight pluckering of the mouth lining from that and slightly gritty mouth feel, probably because its still fairly fresh beans. - When cooler, the cup settled down to tasting somewhere between Grapefruit (Helen's words) to a Sour Orange Marmalade with a zestiness, adjusted so that it never really drops off the cliff sharply in acidity, yet continuously playing with your mind as it oscillates back and forth between sanity and being too adventurous. Utterly well balanced! THE BEANS WERE ROASTED PERFECTLY AND MADE TO THE SAME HIGH STANDARDS BY HELEN. AMAZING WHAT SHE HAS COAXED OUT OF SOME BEANS NOT NECESSARILY BEST KNOWN FOR ITS CUPPING QUALITY AS A SINGLE ORIGIN. 5/5
