Charlie Brown Cafe Medan

Hi there coffee lovers.

"Two small jumps are better than three giant leaps over the haystack". Well i got that quote from my favorite blog named MY MILK TOOF. Although i don't know what it means, i really like the sound of it. I guess we all have some favorite quote aren't we? Something that will always motivate us to do what we like, and what we love. My favorite Quotes of all times is "If you can't tell the difference between playing and working, you have arrived". I love that sound, even you work hard, you still loving what you do. It's like endless fun. Playing while working. ^_^

Today we were hanging out to the Hermes Place. And we decided to try the new cafe "Charlie Brown Cafe"

Jl. R.W. Mongonsidi no 45 (Hermes Place), Medan, Sumatera Utara, Indonesia

This place has a Charlie Brown theme, all of the design from the walls and coffee table decorations is from this cartoon. I never saw any of the episode though, but i love Snoopy :)

I love the School Bus design

My favorite menu, Single Shot Espresso

They're also selling some Charlie Brown's souvenir at the souvenir shop :)

Western Foods are on the menu

My favorite Espresso Machine , Nuova Simonelli Aurelia, this baby got awarded by WBC as their standard machine for World Barista Championship 3 years straight.

 I'm also using Nuova Simonelli but i'm using the Musica :)

ESPRESSO JUDGMENT

The moment i took my first sip, i took my guess that the Bean Grinder is not in the proper size burr. It's too coarse, and watery. Too Acidic, i guess the beans is extracted under 20 sec. The Fragrance is nice, but pretty much weak Aftertaste. It's thin . The weakness is in the process on the Barista's hands. Others are good

That's all for the Espresso

But other drinks taste wonderful, this is my GF order, the Hot Chocolate. Many other kind of Hot Drinks too. They have great Drinks beside Espresso,.

Now this is my actual first post, since i never post anything new. I want to make some references about cafes   that for me is great to visit and have great skilled barista or  coffee brewer (in some parts they're also offer barista courses and trainings). This part of my blog is something i'd like to recommend to you about the greatness of their espresso based coffee and other drinks.

This place is great for a hangout too since its interior design is designed for middle to top class. The barista are really great to talk too, friendly, and they manage to make customers loyal to their coffee shop

This places is pretty much cozy, i couldn't manage to figure what is the interior theme, but i guess it's somehow has japanese culture, modern, and vintage part blend together.

This part is the zen garden, (i didn't manage to shoot the pool since i guess it's their privacy priority). 

They are also sell coffee beans in the left part of their coffee shop. They're selling many variant of coffee beans (Lintong, Toraja, Wayag, Mandhailing, and the fruity taste beans like Long Berry from Ethiopia)

 They're using the La Marzocco espresso machine, one of the best espresso machine in the history.

La Marzocco FB/80, with three group heads, its price is about £7590.00 or about IDR 107.000.000

o_o. They chose a really nice white milk color.

Now for the heart part

Their Espresso Judgment

i took single shot espresso, and we also can chose what beans what we want. This time i chose Long Berry beans, freshly roasted. The Fragrance is nice when i want to take my first sip. Acidity is blend with the sweetness and make great balance.From the Taste i could guess they extracted the beans about 22 to 24 seconds. Excellent Aftertaste. Full Bodied. This espresso is a total recommended for all espresso lovers out there.

My GF ordered Choco Vanilla Chip Blend Cream. 

It is delicious ^_^ 

This coffee shop is a recommended to you who like amazing taste , but they're not offering any cheap price though :)
