This Café Amazon belongs to a government owned energy company, Petroleum Authority of Thailand (PTT). As such, initially, Café Amazon are mostly in PTT’s gas station in an attempt to get more dollar out of travelers. Later, Café Amazon expands outside the gas station and uses a franchising business model to expand nationwide; you can now find Café Amazon anywhere in a gas station, as a standalone and in the shopping mall. Café Amazon is now the largest coffee chain by branches in Thailand.The co
As Café Amazon focuses on an entry level coffee, it’s my understanding that they serve mostly iced coffee drink with espresso as its coffee base; cold drink is much more popular than hot drink in Thailand, FYI. Nevertheless, what I tried here was espresso which I consider pushing the limit of this barista and this particular branch.
The resulting espresso had thick crema. It was quite bitter for my first sip. However, I got some sort of bitter sweet tone with latter sips. In addition to crema, the body is quite thick and full. Practically, this cup has no discernible amount of acidity and the coffee is roasted quite dark. All these tasting notes pointed to a high portion of Robusta in the cup.

Café Amazon has a reasonable service and the seating is quite comfortable so this is actually not bad. Of note is that all people around me, be it coffee people or general public, warns me that Café Amazon is not consistent across all branches i.e. you might not get a good cup of coffee like what I get. So my comment only pertains to this particular branch.
Other Info. :
If you are not sure about drinking coffee here, stick with iced drink which tends to be bestsellers and elsewhere even cafe that considered themselves third wave needs to sell iced drink in Thailand.
