Barista Express at Clifford Centre


The Coffee Concierge was hanging around Clifford Centre waiting for a meeting and in the meantime popped down to check out the Barista Express cafe on the first floor of Clifford Centre. It's fairly basic cafe with lots of red decor and cheery, quick staff. However while it lives up to being express, the quality of the coffee is to match.

I ordered the standard expresso and it showed up with little crema that dissipated within 20 seconds and hardly any aroma. The taste was markedly sour whether hot or cooled down. It had a slightly burnt taste to it and while it did still have a reasonably strong coffee flavour with a long aftertaste, I can't say that it's one I enjoyed very much. 'nuff said.

Cost: S$2.20
Flavour: 1 bean
