高雄都提咖啡

大學時代在台北常去的一家咖啡店叫「挪威森林」,在台大對面的巷子裡,老闆好像是韓國僑生?是一個靦腆但話不多的人,我大四的時候開始勤跑那裡,從政大到公館也不是很近的距離,大概就是從那時候開始迷戀上這種酸苦香醇的黑色液體。
在紐約唸書的這幾年,買全豆回家自己磨、自己煮,其實並不頂講究如何沖泡出一杯好咖啡,用螺旋槳式磨豆機「砍」豆子, 用最簡單家用式過濾型咖啡機煮,新鮮度或許遠勝於外面那種一杯一美元的「咖啡水」,但其實在萃取度、口感香氣的層次性上都沒特別留意,有點浪費了特地用全豆在家研磨的那份心意。
這次回高雄很意外地在我家附近發現「都提咖啡」這家非常特別的店,也才開始稍稍領略如何沖泡出一杯可以細細琢磨品味的咖啡。(在此以前我泡的都只是某種黑色提神劑而已呀)老闆跟員工都是所謂的咖啡達人,有代客烘培生豆,種類很多,他們對各產地及產品也都有相當程度的了解。特別的是他們鼓勵想要自己學習如何煮咖啡的顧客進吧台自己來動手,我這段時間就學了手沖單品,有圖有真相,以下就是我在他們店裡小試身手。

這家店裡面最特別的大概是那一群活力十足的頭家夥計跟客人,可以說店裡每天都洋溢著歡笑聲與咖啡香,如果來高雄不訪試著尋訪這間獨特的咖啡店。

高雄都提咖啡 有 “ 15 則迴響 ”

  1. 我是很喜歡喝咖啡的,只是我一喝了之後過三至四小時之後就會頭痛易怒,胸口發悶.一整天都十分鴉舒坦,但是我還是很喜歡喝……有時就忍不住時喝一杯喝時也顧不得那麼多了呵呵.

    我也很喜歡喝"冰鴛鴦","鴛鴦"就是咖啡+奶茶,喝後症狀也是一樣,這可真是~~~.不解呀.

  2. 有可能是你喝到太濃的萃取過度的咖啡了
    沖泡不得法的咖啡不但領略不到那種香醇美味反而會產生身體不適的症狀
    不過你連喝“鴛鴦“都會有咖啡因過量的症狀
    大概你真的很不適合喝咖啡吧
    不然你就每天喝 喝到上癮為止……

    其實還是適時適量就好了 別勉強
    有機會到香港再找你去喝一杯(應該是請你帶我去喝一杯)

  3. 好咖啡倒是不懂得帶你去喝,喜歡吃港菜就可以帶你到處吃一下.

    我覺得我的症狀是關心理投射的事了,不過不打緊這也是生活樂趣之一.

  4. Hi Eric,

    Just surfing your webite. This site is quite unique and interesting. Just wonder whether you study in social science (I guess),and how you do this terrific work in maintaing the site. 挪威森林 is one of my favor cafes in Taipei, which makes a little bit simiarity in the interest to you. Anyway, it is a nice experience to visit your site. See you.

  5. Thank you for the compliment. Indeed I am studying sociology right now but also interested in many other things. 挪威森林 was truly one of my favorites in those youthful days and I am glad to know that you have the same feeling for it. Sadly I just learn that it might be closed after years of struggling for survival. If you are in Taipei, you might go and pay a last visit.

  6. Actually, my favorite cafe’ in Taipei is Ole cafe’ in 健康路 which is difficult to find for first-time visitors. However, the aroma of coffee can guide you all the way to the cafe’. You must be a coffee lover. It is sad to know 挪威森林 is going to be closed. I have not been in Taiwan for a while. My current location is in down under (Sydney, Australia) which might be the only place that Starbuck is struggling and not so appealing to local people (Aussies). For black teas, I think Twinings is not bad, and Early Grey in the morning should be a great treat.

  7. Yes, Australia is loverly, but still have some problems of a big city like many car horns, inpatience, and many imigrants from China, India, and other developing contries. I am an “old" student working on PhD in Medicine in Sydney after more than 10 years of clinical practice in Taiwan and 1 year in Oklahoma city (2000-1).

  8. Same here. New York has a variety of immigrant communities. Cultural diversity could be a good thing in terms of colorful life styles and new experience. And yet sometimes it could be annoying. Anyway, it is nice to meet you.

  9. Agree. Both (Sydney and NY) are big cities. My impression of NY is in 2000 when I went to the city for a medical conference. It took me 2 hours from Newark airport to the hotel near the intersection of 7th Ave and 57th St. However, it is not bad for that visit including seeing central park, metropolitan museum, etc. Now, I wish that I could be there to watch MLB game.

  10. I am really loving the theme/design of your web site.
    Do you ever run into any web browser compatibility issues?
    A number of my blog readers have complained about my
    blog not operating correctly in Explorer but looks great in Chrome.
    Do you have any suggestions to help fix this problem?
