A girl in Hong Kong has given her approval to the sale of a $125 specialty coffee in Sheung Wan, citing the “high-quality feeling” she experienced. However, some netizens have criticised the expensive cup of coffee, which was recommended by a barista at a local café. The coffee in question was made using CM Washed beans and netizens claimed the product was not worth the price. While some agreed with the criticism, others pointed out that the high cost of coffee in Hong Kong is largely due to high rental costs in the city. There were also suggestions that the taste of coffee varies from person to person and the barista may have simply recommended a coffee that did not appeal to the poster’s taste.
Some netizens recently posted on the Facebook group “Hong Kong Cafe Concern Group”, saying that when they visited a café in Sheung Wan, they were recommended to drink a cup of the most expensive coffee in the store, and the menu marked “Our Roasted Coffee” belonging to the café. When I drink it, I feel that the product is not right. It does not have the “high-quality and high-quality feeling” described by the barista, and the criticism is that it is inferior and super expensive. As soon as the post was posted, netizens reacted with mixed reactions. Some people pointed out that Cafés in Hong Kong are expensive because of the location rent. Drinking coffee in Hong Kong feels like being “stupid”, but some people who have studied coffee refuted that coffee has different flavor characteristics. It might just be that the coffee this time is not to the owner’s taste. It is suggested that the owner can give an opinion to the clerk on the spot.
