Coming from the headquarter of Starbuck, I feel like I have to say something.

Don't get confused, Blue Mountain is a kind of coffee bean.

- ]) m; v7 t4 {4 H! C+ F6 Oexactly, Lap Hui made a little mistake on this. cappuccino, mocha and latte should taste almost the same if they use the same type of coffe beans, though not the same. cappuccino is 1/3 foarm, 1/3 milk and 1/3 espresso. mocha is just the same as latte, except that mocha is flavoured with chocolate syrup/powder. blue mountain is the most expensive bean on the consumer coffee market, almost 10 times more expensive than most house blends ---- > but i never tasted blue mountain. I really need to find a good coffee shop first as I dont want to get a good cup of coffee wasted by the barista. I love starbucks for latte, but most of their baristas dont really know much about coffee, most of their knowledge were all learnt from the coffee school, not from experience. Only experienced baristas can brew you the right cup of blue mountain.

無錯。其實咖啡同紅酒差不多﹐好難話邊杯好飲邊杯唔好飲﹐但從專家角度黎講就有得分沖得好或唔好喇。好咖啡未必會好飲﹐但唔好既咖啡就通常都唔會好飲得去邊。就好似音響發燒友鐘意既清脆高音﹐未必個個岩聽﹐暖既高音又係未必個個岩聽。

1 e- ^4 B& n& Y* x2 S+ P我自己就靜係鐘意飲LATTE無糖﹐有D朋友鐘意飲espresso﹐我自己就接受唔到喇。飲espresso﹐就係飲純咖啡同熱水既味道﹐沖得好既espresso係係應該有一片奶黃色既簿奶油層﹐而且你點吹距走都吹唔走。評咖啡係有好多criteria﹐例如普遍既色﹐香同味﹐而評咖啡就要評多幾樣﹕酸﹐濃﹐苦﹐after-taste (事後味道感覺)等等。仲有好多其他既術語﹐我到而家都未識分出黎。6 {0 h4 T  _* Y

點先為之一杯好咖啡? ---- 真係見仁見智﹐我自己就覺得濃而不苦或酸既咖啡就已經夠﹐溫度唔燙手﹐奶油香味重﹐最重要係D奶夠香滑夠鮮﹐所以我唔鐘意落糖。
