Hong Kong Coffee

Just arrived back from HK where, predictably, coffee is bad news. They say its because there are no roasters in HK and so beans are degraded during importation. Maybe a new business opportunity for someone?

Re: Hong Kong Coffee

Hi Panda,

A cafe that can pull italian style espresso or capa is indeed hard to find in HK, I spend many days in HK just to look for a good cup of cappacinno the closest one I can find is COVA in festival walk in Kowloon Tong. HK is more into Syphon & filter coffee, I forget to said there are few COVA in Kowloon I been to three already, only the one at Festival Walk has reasonable quality, there are private roasters in HK as well, at least I managed to find one before I returned back to sydney three weeks ago, he has a small production, roast on order type of operation.
