Coffee Planet gourmet coffee tasting

Say goodbye to morning coffee queues. Cafe latté, cappucino or macchiato? Guess this machine has got you covered with only the freshest coffee!

Wow! It’s definitely one of the freshest ideas to kick start your Thursday morning with some coffee tasting session at workplace. As cool as it sounds, but do go easy on the caffeine booster yea :P.

Coffee Planet is one of the latest additions to the world of gourmet coffee scene since 2 years ago. It is actually nice to have a chance to explore the various blends that each merchant has to offer, that is distinguished by its very own unique blend of coffee beans that are sourced from the best origins such as Brazil, Costa Rica, Indonesia and many more.

That very morning, our palates are amusingly treated with some fragrantly roasted coffee beans, which are of Medium Roasted type as well as Dark Roasted variants. Should you are up for a fuller body of coffee aroma, then the latter would be a good choice for it is roasted slightly longer till it reach some light burnt tinge. From far away, the aroma of the nice smell from the grinded coffee has wafted through the air of the pantry delightfully, which does help in waking up certain sleepy heads too :P

The advance of invention and technology has made life even much easier nowadays. By just merely clicking on one single button, and voila, you get your preferred cuppa served in less than 2 minutes! From that machine, you could actually opt to pamper your taste buds with 8 types of beverage, namely Espresso, Café Latte, Cappuccino, Mocha, Café Au Lait, Black Coffee, Hazelnut Coffee and Hot Chocolate. You can customize your own coffee by choosing the amount of milk that you wish to add. And by the way, I find that their milk packet quite intriguing. It is said to be pasteurized milk that comes in the form of those coarse salt-sized and is brought all the way from Italy. And so far, Coffee Planet is the only merchant using this Ristora granulized milk. Pretty interesting though. As such, I have chosen to try out three types, in order to better appreciate this gastronomy sensually. They are the Hot Chocolate, Black Coffee and Café Au Lait.

The Hot Chocolate, I personally find it a tad too dilute, but nevertheless, still comes with decent redolence of chocolaty flavor. As for the two buddies of coffee, the Café Au Lait (Dark Roasted Beans) is smoother at 50% added milk, compared to Café Latte, whilst the Black Coffee shines its way up from the Medium Roasted Beans type. It is very much milder and filled with the essence of the coffee beans, even at 50% added milk as well. Besides these, Hazelnut Coffee and Mocha are another best-seller over here with the former run out very fast.

                                                                  Black Coffee (Medium Roasted Beans )

                                                                          Hot Chocolate

                                                                       Café Au Lait (Dark Roasted Beans)

Overall, I enjoy this array of coffee very much and it would be great if there are more coffee appreciation workshops to be held in the vicinity of Golden Triangle. That way, we, the coffee aficionados gets to deepen our understanding on coffee enjoyment and its brewing, as well as picking up some basic skills in latte art perhaps? It would be really wonderful then when the public’s awareness are also brought to another higher level :D

They do have an outlet at KLCC. So head over to try it, and as its tagline goes, “If you want it, love it, then share the buzz around! “

Till then, Happy Weekend folks!
