There are many unique coffee combinations for coffee connoisseurs.
Do you ever get bored when you drink the same type of coffee? This case happened to me some time ago. As a solution, I don't drink coffee for about a week. I did that on purpose so I miss coffee again.
Like to be able to fall in love with the same person, we have to give a little distance, and or find another way for us to love that thing again. And, sure enough. I long to drink coffee again.
This happened when I was still in the village where my brother lived for a few weeks ago. I'm looking for a coffee shop nearby with my partner. Then we decided to stop by at 85 Coffee which is located at. Banda Aceh City.
I don't want to expect much from this coffee shop. Because expectations often kill our feelings in the end. So, let's see what kind of coffee menu I ordered at 85 Coffee.
85 COFFEE
85 Coffee is not just a coffee shop. This place is quite crowded. That's because in this coffee shop visitors can do vehicle washing for motorbikes and cars.
I didn't have time to take pictures of the crowded main space of this place. The average visitor in the main space are male smoker. So I immediately left the space to find a more comfortable space.
Luckily, I found a comfortable outdoor space, even though it was a hot day. 85 Coffee has an outdoor space dominated by green space. It makes this outdoor space feel cool, with lots of plants arranged in this part.
While waiting for my coffee order to arrive, I also enjoy the atmosphere of this outdoor space. Puts me at ease with some of the elements that are here. I get some fresh air. Various ornamental plants arranged at several points make this place feel like in the backyard.
They are quite good at utilizing the area. Even though it's not too wide, the outdoor space feels spacious and not noisy. They put ornamental plants in the dividing wall area. Good multifunctional gift. Of course, this wall can be used as a nice background for visitors who want to take pictures in this place.
Equipped with the use of small pebbles on the ground, adding to the natural impression. Plus, some chair and table properties use wood material. To add a more modern relaxed impression, some chairs use iron material.
Soothing Water Element
There is one thing that caught my attention in 85 Coffee. They created an angle that uses the element of water using a pot made of natural stone. Planted with water plants, giving this area extra freshness. Deserves enough to be appreciated about this brilliant idea.
I sat near the area that has the water element. Suitable to provide peace for me in this place. Incidentally, my partner also decided to wash the car at this place. So our time can be used for several purposes at the same time today to save time.
My order came. I chose Butter Coffee after a long time I didn't drink coffee. The reason I chose this type of coffee is because I have never drunk coffee mixed with butter. At that time I imagined a delicious butter that I usually spread on warm toast, also butter for stir-fry some vegetables.
At first glance, there's nothing strange about the appearance of Butter Coffee. The bubbles on the coffee surface look normal like coffee in general. Then I took a sip of this coffee.
I took a closer look at the surface of the coffee after I drank it. I was quite surprised. You can see a lot of oil particles. Hmm, at that moment I immediately thought about whether it would be good for my body or not.
Drinking Butter Coffee was enough to give me an unforgettable experience for the first time. Coffee taste is not too pronounced. Precisely very dominant and feels like butter which is uncomfortable on my tongue. Maybe this is because the quality of the butter is not good. So, in my opinion, maybe there would be a better chance if they used a better quality butter which might give a better taste than this.
Yay or Nay?
Hmm, I have to be honest this time. Initially, I felt pretty excited about Butter Coffee, which I had never tried before. I thought it would be a combination of the taste of the delicious butter with the coffee which also smells good. But unfortunately this time I have to say NO to this type of coffee variation. This type of coffee is like losing the character of the coffee itself because butter is more dominant than coffee.
Even so, I'm not disappointed with sonce with this place. With $1 or idr 15,000, it's cheap and enough to make me forgive what happened to the cup of Butter Coffee I ordered.
Have you ever tried drinking coffee mixed with butter? What do you think? Even though I had a not-so-good first experience with Butter Coffee, next time I want to find Butter Coffee elsewhere. Maybe I'll have a better experience. Who knows.
