Coffee Escapades -Starbucks Coffee

As I had written in my previous post here, I was all geared up and excited to go for the grand opening of Starbucks Coffee at Horniman Circle this weekend. However, when I had read that Starbucks India had decided to source its coffee from India and not internationally for the first time in their business history, I was a tad bit disappointed and my excitement had died down a bit. I know that this would only help to boost the Indian coffee plantations and the economy, but I still wanted to taste the famous Starbucks coffee that is known all over the world. However, I still made my way to Horniman Circle for the opening and then I saw the 3km long queue and changed my mind about going to Starbucks then and there itself and decided to wait for all the excitement to die down. 

So, while I was waiting, Starbucks had announced that it was opening two more outlets at Taj Palace and Tower Hotels at Apollo Bunder and at Oberoi Mall, Goregaon East on Dusshera! I couldn't believe my ears and my luck! The Oberoi Mall outlet is right next to my house. So, I went over yesterday for the inauguration and I am so happy I did.

Coffee!

There is only one thing that I am addicted to in this world and it is Coffee! Yes, I absolutely adore, love and can't live without it. Coffee to me is not just a pick-me-up drink, it is my remedy to everything. I have headache, I have coffee. My day is going bad, I have coffee and yes, if I am feeling sleepy, I have coffee! I know, I know, I am addicted to it. But, it is the most heavenly drink in the world! 

In my pursuit for the perfect coffee, I have tasted and drank coffee from a lot of places and to tell you the truth, it is very, very, very hard to get a place that makes that perfect cup of coffee in Mumbai. One place that makes a great cup of coffee in Mumbai is Moshe's. The coffee here, whether, it is their in-house coffee or the cappuccino, is made just the way I like it - aromatic, strong and smooth. I have heard that the secret behind their awesome coffee is that not only do they select their own coffee beans, but roast and grind them in house, making their coffee fresh.

Here is a picture of the cappuccino that I had today. Guess what! In the world of coffee art, Moshe's had the Facebook "f" on my coffee foam, instead of the usual leaves, smiley faces and hearts that come on the coffee.
