See how Taiwanese use motorcycles to sell coffee.
The 12-year-old Wolf motorcycle was hung with anti-nuclear flags and land justice scarves. On the action box in the back seat was a complete set of hand-brewed coffee equipment. "I hope to give people a choice so that those who can afford to drink coffee for only NT$50 (equivalent to 9.9 yuan) will not have only 7-ELEVEN to drink." The young coffee master "AA" opened a motorcycle coffee shop on the roadside. No matter it was a single item, fancy, hot or cold, a cup sold for 50 yuan. For a while, AA grabbed the coffee pot and renewed the cup for the guests indefinitely.
Although it is a motorcycle coffee stand, AA brews every cup of coffee very carefully. After the customer orders, he grinds the beans with a hand-shaking bean grinder on the spot, and the fresh and rich aroma is immediately dispersed in the air, and then carefully washed by hand; if the customer orders iced coffee, he puts ice cubes on the filter cup on the spot, so that the cold water near zero oozes the smell of the original beans. In order to avoid the interference of coffee beans with different roasting degrees, he also prepared two bean grinders to grind deep and light roasted beans separately.
At 3 p.m. on the streets of Taipei, the strange hand boom of the MRT project came and went, obscuring the voice of the customer ordering food. The loud noise of AA and other machines passed, saying: "Of course, there are cafes that invite me to be a bartender, but this loses my original intention."
$50 for a cup of coffee,$10 to help African children
Among the bustling crowd, there were bankers in suits who came to take out coffee, and mothers who took thermos cups to fill coffee, waiting for AA to make coffee, just in time to shop at the roadside stall and pick up a few favorite jeans to take away. When customers were scarce, the vendor selling cheap clothes next door would also happily come to replenish coffee with a kettle.
"Of course the police will issue a ticket. Let him do it!" Because "if I rent a store, it is impossible to sell you a cup of 50 yuan, in order to pay the rent, coffee shops have to change the price to 200 yuan, 300 yuan a cup, so that many people can not afford to drink." "The supermarket across the street will close next month because the landlord has raised the rent. "What do you think?" AA pointed to the MRT construction site behind him,"Because the MRT is about to open." Is there a reason for that?"
AA takes the $50 from the customer and immediately turns it around, putting $10 into the Aid to African Children donation box.
In order to resist soaring land prices in Taipei and landlords using the MRT to raise rents, he chose to use the old wolf to fight "guerrilla" in the city lanes, shuttling through the bustling streets of Taipei City such as Qingcheng Street, Nanjing East Road and Dunhua South Road.
Go wherever you need coffee.
Every Friday night for the past six months, he would ride to the "Anti-Nuclear 456" site in Freedom Square to provide free coffee; occasionally, he also supported 248 Agricultural Market, even the temple Zhongyuan Purdue, all of which had AA brewing coffee."Where I need coffee, I'll go there." Cai Yuhao, general manager of Lu Wenchuang, said that AA was present every Friday night at the anti-nuclear scene in Freedom Square. He made coffee for all people all night. He was impressed by AA, but he never listened to AA's introduction or publicity.
A spontaneous AA, with a bit of hippie style from the '60s. The reporter asked his name, he said: "Call me AA is good, because my wife called CC, we put together is the store name CA fly (coffee homonym), we are hiding from the police know."
AA smiled and said: "At that time in Danshui, I sold coffee, she sold clothes, saw the police came, she hid in a good position, I followed in, so we met." Because of hiding from the police acquaintance, and then become attached to the "CA fly" husband and wife file, now CC is responsible for selecting raw beans, roasting, mixing beans, so that AA out of the professional master level coffee.
"Take today's Yejia Xuefei as an example. I will prepare two packets of beans with different degrees of roasting. Slowly mix them and mix them slowly. Try to find the ratio that I like and that the customers will accept the most." Without the addition of high-end bar and expensive coffee equipment, AA coffee still exudes professional luster: "Try it!" It starts out sweet with sweet potato soup, cools, and turns into warm bread aromas; if it's made into iced coffee, it's obvious that stone fruit tastes."
"No one stipulates that high-end equipment can make good coffee. That's not the true meaning of coffee." AA excitedly used the simplest equipment to control the temperature, time, and ratio of mixed beans, and smiled and said: "Like ice drop coffee, why buy a set of thousands of ice drop pots?" I always go to the medical equipment store and buy a 60 yuan drip bag. I keep it at home and drink as much as I want. It's very easy to use!"
"What I look forward to most every Tuesday is hand-brewed roasted bean coffee with a charming smoky aroma and bright, sweet bitterness." Mr. Wu, who works in Dunhua South Road, also wrote: "Thank CC and AA for being driven away by the police, or the scorching sun, or the wind and rain, for insisting on providing a whole afternoon of excitement for the office workers nearby!"
Carry empty beer bottles and coffee beans for the environment
AA rummaged through his messy home, and revealed a face of distress: "You see, I carry a pile of recycled beer bottles, I hope guests do not use paper bags coffee beans, making garbage; beans finished, then take the bottle back to me to get ah!" But the guests all think it's troublesome and don't want to play with me. What should I do?"
Think about how to cut down on packaging garbage, buy drip packs instead of ice dryers, wear blue and white slippers, sloppily AA, have no fame store or competition award halo, and focus only on the coffee in front of you.
It seems that the legendary "barefoot doctor" reappeared in ancient times. With his sincere love for coffee and magical technology, the frugal housewife and the office worker whose salary was frozen could drink coffee brewed from coffee beans such as "Ye Jia Xue Fei" for 50 yuan. "Everyone is welcome to buy coffee and talk coffee. Of course, it would be better if we could meet in an anti-nuclear square!"
