This place has been open for over 40 years and owner Lai Tseng-sheng is a coffee-business veteran with customers around the island. During his travels around the world, he is in the habit of bringing his moka pot (macchinetta) coffee maker as he learns more about coffee. In the process, he personally has collected a number of Italian moka pots, some of them rare, made by Arianina, Aroma, Gilda, Giannini, Stella and other brands, ranging in price from NT$2,900 to NT$8,500. The store also sells other Italian brand coffee machines and coffee bean grinders. As bean roasting is one of the biggest factors in making a perfect cup of coffee, the owner roasts imported coffee beans with a Probat roaster from Germany to accentuate the coffee's original layers of flavor. Mandheling coffee is sold for NT$400/pound and St. Helena coffee is NT$6,000/pound and available in limited quantities only (delivery available).--By Chloe Chang
