This shop is solely dedicated to coffee, with 30 to 40 kinds of coffee beans on the menu. Coffee beans are roasted daily to provide freshness to customers. Whether you're a coffee rookie or addict, you can find something here to suit your needs. The selection is quite complete, from top-grade Jamaica Blue Mountain No. 1 coffee (with certificate) and Hawaii Kona Extra Fancy (NT$600-NT$2,400 per pound) to more common varieties of coffee, like Colombia, Ethiopia Djimmah Mocha and Indonesia Sumatra Mandhelin (NT$240-320 per pound). Indonesia Sumatra Kopi Leak (with certificate) and El Salvador Hot Spring beans are also available here. If customers can't find the beans they're looking for here, Original Coffee's management will try and locate them. Because the shop only sells fresh-roasted beans, customers should call in advance for orders, even if it's only half a pound. Coffee pots, grinders, European rock sugar and coffee filters, along with other accessories, are all carried here.
