In Hong Kong, which is full of international atmosphere, the Australian style of life has also become popular in recent years. Using coffee beans from New Zealand and making Australian espresso, "Winstons Coffee" emphasizes that the skill of Barista is as important as the source quality of coffee beans. Smiling waiters and authentic desserts, no wonder the store is always crowded with coffee addicts from all over the world.

The day I first met Winstons Coffee, I was attracted by their small open-air bar and special signature letters. unfortunately, they were not open that day, so I had to put my face on their glass door and look inside more carefully. Only to find that they used the top Italian La Marzocco coffee machine, I made up my mind to come back on a special day next time.

There are only eight seats in the coffee shop, and the open bar relieves the crowded and small space.

When I visited Winstons Coffee for the second time, there were only eight seats in the store. The bean grinder was running, and the Espresso aroma extracted from the ground coffee powder filled this small space. Fortunately, the open bar window relieves the feeling of crowding in the room.

Australian coffee is very particular about the use of cups, Flat White will be filled in mugs. (HK $35 / Cup)

Piccolo, also known as small latte, is suitable for people who like milk but do not want to drink too much. There is only 100ML in a cup, which can be consumed in one or two mouthfuls. (HK $30 / Cup)

The small blackboard hanging behind the barista's work area has a series of coffee I am familiar with, such as Long Black, Piccolo, Affogato and so on. Before Simon, one of the owners of the coffee shop, arrived, I could not help but order my favorite Flat White, sipping this cup of milk coffee with only 0.5cm milk foam and a crisp thumb biscuit on the plate. At that moment, the scene around me really seemed to come to the Australian city, and they did bring the Australian version of espresso to Hong Kong.

Simon, from the middle of England, fell in love with Australian coffee when he was young, working in Australia and New Zealand on holiday, and especially went to study. Except that he liked coffee very much, when Simon came to Hong Kong, because he couldn't find a coffee shop to his satisfaction, he partnered with his friends and opened a Winstons Coffee in Sai Ying Pun.

"since you emphasize that you sell Australian coffee, how is it different from ordinary Italian coffee?" I asked Simon curiously, "A good barista is as important as using good coffee beans!" Simon believes that Australian coffee shops attach great importance to the skills of baristas. Baristas are like the stars and signs of coffee shops. If you have good beans but no good skills, beans will not show the most perfect flavor.

In particular, a cup of coffee with milk, choosing high-quality fresh milk and beating milk foam can also make a cup of coffee the difference between heaven and hell. Simon recalls that when he was on holiday in Australia, he often went there to drink coffee made by a barista.

This cup of coffee martini retains the strong aroma of Espresso coffee and the sweet taste of blending wine. (HK $100 / Cup)

Simon now blends "Coffee Martini," and he says the recipe for good taste is fresh Espresso, a selection of coffee wine and coffee syrup.

During the day is a coffee shop, at night Winstons Coffee will turn into a mini-bar, and sell the popular "Espresso Martini Italian concentrated martini". But in my experience, not all coffee martinis taste good. Simon generously shared his know-how, must use the freshest Espresso Shot, in order to retain the coffee oil extracted from coffee, so that martini drink a layer of fine foam, he also chose full-scented coffee wine and coffee syrup, sip this cup of colorful coffee martini, sweet cold coffee beans and wine, let me deeply intoxicated.
