Despite my previous high recommendation of this Cafe and its coffee, I have to comment that subsequent visits have had slightly problems here and there.One 1 day, me and a friend revisited here (on my recommendation, who's visited here before years ago but didn't particular enjoyed it). The barista making the latte/cappucino for us wasn't the boss or the short haired girl.

One 1 day, me and a friend revisited here (on my recommendation, who's visited here before years ago but didn't particular enjoyed it). The barista making the latte/cappucino for us wasn't the boss or the short haired girl. My cappucino had no taste at all.
Another time, ordered a double ristretto and out came a double espresso pulled too long. Waitress and barista obviously had some miscommunication. Look, I'm not fussed, afterall, as long as it came from a larger portafiler basket with 2 tips and enough coffee beans, I'm not fussed. (I just can't stand espressp/ristrettos coming from anything below single shots of 9g of grinded cofffee, as its often not pulled right.) Yet, on this occasion, my cappucino had a really good flavour.
1 other time, had a double ristretto. GOD SHOT. Pulled perfectly by the lady boss, who obviously knew what she was doing. Probably the best Ristretto Espresso shot I've had in Hong Kong ever - full bodied but super fresh and fruity, dark red crema with lots of bubby crema, something that's usually pulled from a portafilter less group handle. Amazing. (Helped by the fact that most of its competitions are roasted overseas and not as fresh).
However, on the same day - another cappucino with a great latte art, had barely any coffee taste, plus, the PURA milk they use was 'so so dei' on this occasion and over-powered the base. For some reason, Australian milk recently aren't very suitable for making coffee, as its very 'so'. Don't ask me why, but I've noticed it at several Cafes using Aussie milk, even one place using HK milk. As the barista, I think they should be aware of this and adjust accordingly to limit the damages!
Next time, I think I'll order skim milk coffees as a 'precaution'.
