"before, I had no idea about coffee. I didn't know what was wrong with the milk bubbles in supermarkets or cafes, but my first latte was drunk at the Wild Stack Coffee, which opened me to a different level of thinking about coffee." Without any professional background, Huang Li Li, who graduated from higher vocational education, found the wild stack coffee next to the fishing port of Taiziliao in order to work and study, but before the interview, the boss who thought that stability was the core of making coffee was required to pass a "gold medal test" before he was willing to accept students, put a piece of tissue paper under it, put a can of gold beer bottle, and then pour water into the kettle by hand, and then pull the water column to the highest and thinnest. Until the water is collected when the surface tension is reached, when the bottle is wet, the water is cut off, and the tissue is wet, they fail directly. It must take a month to practice to pass the test, and then learn all kinds of coffee knowledge in the next step.

At the bar where I have worked in the Wild Stack for three years, there is always some concern that the guests will recognize the boss and only order coffee with the boss. "if people are different, the taste will be different." although he thinks he has brewed the coffee to a high level, mixed with setbacks and challenges. I happen to know the manager of Dading hardware Store, just as they are about to move the store, and there is already a space for manufacturers to make tea and chat. A chat became an opportunity for a cafe to settle in. At the end of 2014, when it was prepared from the wild stack and opened in early 2015, "hardware Coffee" was born. this bar is all hand-made, and in order to integrate into the hardware store, what we have to do is the most authentic industrial style. so the decoration is all made and made from this hardware store, so when you come into this space, there won't be a conflict between the two stores.

With the support of the wild stack owner and saving a sum of money, Huang Li-Kai came out to open his own hardware coffee in his junior year. Although he occupied a small area, he had all kinds of coffee beans. In addition to the choice of all kinds of coffee beans, no matter the style, hand flushing, siphon, or Philharmonic pressure. All kinds of brewing methods are fully equipped, and even nitrogen coffee, which is popular in recent years, is being tested.

The location of the shop is on the right-hand side of the northward direction of the Taiwan 17 line, and there is a lot of traffic. Many office workers who commute between Okayama and Youchang see signs when they stop at red lights and are curious to come in and order a cup of coffee. Later, the local residents, including Zi Guan, also gradually knew about it. The coffee shop opens from 7: 00 in the morning. In addition to allowing guests on their way to work to enjoy coffee in the morning, it also coincides with the time for guests to come to the hardware store to replenish their supplies and rush to the construction site at 8: 00. "A lot of guests are so busy that they happen to go out. Come in and have a quick cup of coffee to refresh yourself, and then continue to be busy." The design of the take-out bar is exactly in line with the space for people to have a short rest, and the height of leaning against the bar for a drink is just right. I hope everyone will feel happy and exciting when they come to the store.
