Starbucks Pike Place Roast Coffee using a Pour Over Filter

What makes Starbucks different is their passion for coffee and nothing else. This week I took the opportunity to try out their famous "Pike Place Roast" brewed using a Pour Over filter.

The result a clean full bodied coffee which is smooth and well balanced. Perfect for that anytime coffee.

A Tall Pike Place Roast - Americano comes for Rs. 185 (2.8 $US) . Well worth the price. For this the coffee master "Ranjit" used up 30 grams of Pike Place beans in about 354 ml of hot water. The beans were finely ground to a filter grind (level 4).

You can watch the video to understand the brewing process or scroll down to read further.

More about the experience:

The story of the Pike Place Roast is as follows:

The Pour Over Filter looks like this:

A Filter paper is placed into the mug on top. This filter paper has a slightly higher level of thickness from regular filters and it ensures that all coffee residue, coffee bean oils and coffee crema are held back while only the purest brew trickles down into the coffee pot.

Clean and Smooth Pike Place brew in the coffee pot ready for consumption :)

The filter has really done an excellent job as you can see in the image above. The filter was first invented in 1908 by a German entrepreneur by name Amalie Auguste Melitta Bentz.

The coffee was simply refreshing and clear. Do try it.

Happy Brewing and Coffee Tasting :)

Cheers.

A new Starbucks Coffee experience in Mumbai

I just had an amazing Starbucks coffee experience. They have opened a new store in Mumbai at Lokhandwala Complex which is a first of its kind in India. It's called the Starbucks Coffee Forward Neighbourhood store. The place has a different vibe. Its more experimental, more modern, more lively. The staff is eager to assist you as the place does seem to get to you at first as its completely different in setup from a regular Starbucks outlet. The food section is small yet different. They have a limited selection of croissants, sandwiches and desserts, which are all unique. The brewing station is managed by Starbucks Coffee Masters in black aprons. They have on offer seven different blends of coffee - Pike Place Roast, Kenya, Ethiopia, India Estates Blend, Sumatra, Caffe Verona and the Italian Roast. What's strikingly different at this outlet is the collection of Coffee Makers aka Brewers. They strictly use the following: Siphon brewer Chemex bre...
