Phil Coffee Company is among cafés mentioned in Sprudge’s article “7 Good Cafes In Sukhumvit, Bangkok: The Sprudge Coffee Guide” which concentrated on the Ekkamai/Thonglor area a al Sheung Wan in Hong Kong. And the café seems to be well regarded for its green bean quality so much so that once I mentioned about this café, most Thai cafés told me that I should drop by to try varieties of quality green beans. So I did. Notice the entrance, it states very clear that there is no parking inside! An

I talked to barista, saying that it’s sweet n blackberry but other tasting notes were quite subdued. The barista suggested me to add some water to the shot! Normally, I wouldn’t buy this method as my belief is that the taste was pretty much dictated after you finished the pull and adding water won’t give much help to more taste ie if it had those tastes, it already should show and nothing much you can do to improve it. However, I had to admit this barista knew what he is doing and those tasting note, be it lime, chocolate, brown sugar etc. were much clearer this way. Though this method comes at the expense of body which makes the cup now tastes closer to concentrated drip than espresso. You can’t win ‘em all!
Other Info. :
Try Single Origin and expensive beans that is the top of Phil's recommended list
