Canned Starbucks DOUBLE SHOT

I used to worked at Starbucks as a brista for several years, making coffee is one of the best jobs i’ve did and drinking my own made cup of coffee is even better, sadly after several years i have to made a career change, boredom and craving for more $$$ made me decided to change job but deep down in me being a barista is the best jobs so far i’ve had. Every barista have their own favorite drinks and i have few, and one of it is Starbucks Iced Shaken Double Shot.

Espresso Con Panna and Espresso Doppio just a small can cost rm12 each

Our own local Starbucks used to have this on their beverage menu, that was years ago, i remembered meeting my old Starbucks colleague and asking for this drinks and she said there is no plan for comeback, too bad this is such a good drink, very strong sweet and most importantly refreshing. Luckily i have chance to have this fine beverage and relived my glorious Starbucks memory again,  but it’s not the original hand made Iced Shaken Double Shot it was a canned Double Shot beverage, i spotted it during my monthly grocery shopping at Village Grocer Bangsar last week and without hesitated  i grab 2 canned and throw it in my grocery basket, a can of Espresso Con Panna and a can of Espresso Doppio.

Imported from japan

Knowingly well that it cost me 12 a can, i carefully crack open the can and pour it some in the cup, first i tried Espresso Con Panna, Con Panna is an italian word for cream so this is espresso with cream, it tasted almost the same as the original ones but lack of freshness, regular coffee drinker usually knows how fresh coffee taste like very different with canned coffee but then again anything canned is hardly fresh.

Espresso Con Panna taste refreshing, mild coffe drinker can have this because it's sweetned, too bad it's too costly.

Espresso Doppio mean Double Espresso, this one is very very strong because it’s double shot and it’s not sweetened at all, i’m having a hard time finishing this can even if it’s a small can, it does keeps me awake the whole night. I don’t think i will be buying this beverage again it’s not the taste that repelled me but the price is, rm 12 for such a small drink and it’s not even freshly made, since i know the recipe and perfect way of making it i will try to make it on my own just have to wait to get my own Bialetti stove top coffee maker, this will produced great home made espresso similar like the ones you get at Starbucks, most Italians use this. i just have to wait until i win my bid at e-bay, the new ones cost rm189.

9cup Bialetti stove top coffee maker Italian made, i've been hesitating to get this, trying to find cheaper ones from e-bay. it's on my b'day lists, Cary please take note
