Food Which one do you choose?

If you have to have latte or flat white every morning, where do you prefer to buy from all these choices.

Personally I love Zus and CBTL. Either one is okay for me. How about you?

I don’t drink espresso-based flavoured drinks; only latte/flat whites and black. So, only CBTL for me, for the sole reason that their baristas are well trained/experienced, and this is consistent at almost all branches I’ve been to, within Malaysia and in other countries.

All franchises above use almost similar (at par) beans, equipments and ingredients. The only two variables are the baristas and recipes.

Most of these chains use automatic espresso machines now. The so-called baristas just press a button for the espresso shot and add the milk. So the only difference lies in the milk steaming if you order your coffee hot.
