          According to Dheza Maria Aguilar, “Most of us might not be aware that the Philippines is one of the few countries fortunate to have all four major coffee varieties present in our soil. We are actually situated in the Coffee Belt, the part of the globe which has only two seasons—wet and dry season” Manila Standard Today.  I am a curious how coffee cherry is made into a real coffee powder. Fortunately my class with Ms. Ines Cabarrus had a field trip in Boyd’s coffee factory. We went there last July 5, 2008 together with my classmates. And there is a guy who served us a double espresso cappuccino. He made 35 cups of coffee within 15 minutes.

              The coffee that served us was probably the best coffee I ever tasted. The froth of the Double Espresso Cappuccino is perfect. He uses only fresh milk in making froth. The coffee he used is freshly roasted and imported. The coffee bean he uses is Arabica, which is the best coffee bean commercially available. The Double Espresso Cappuccino taste a bit bitter but when added sugar its awesome. The sweetness and the bitterness of the coffee combined resulted in a coffee full of body, aroma and creamy.

                   Guess what? The guy, who served Double Espresso Cappuccino for us, is the owner of Figaro here in Manila. His name is Mr. Francisco. He is one of the pioneers when it comes to the coffee industry. I’m so curious what is the difference between the coffee from his store Figaro and the coffee in his factory. Because of my curiosity I went to one of Figaro’s branch in Rockwell Mall. I order the same coffee Mr. Francisco served to us the Double Espresso Cappuccino. And I must say the ambience of store will make your mouth water. I went there in my corporate uniform after my last class; the staff is very good you will know that they are well trained. The service is fantastic and accurate. The service staff is well trained to attend the need of the customer.

                         I am bit afraid whether the taste of the coffee is different or the same with Mr. Francisco’s coffee. But my expectation is met it tasted exactly the same. The coffee tasted not too bitter and the froth is perfected made and very creamy. The crema is sugary. For 100 of coffee is not that bad and heavy to your pocket. Afterwards receiving priceless service is worthless. I tell you Figaro Coffee will exceed probably Starbucks Coffee. If you want coffee that will feed your thirst, tension, and stressed go now to any Figaro’s branches nationwide.
