A true fan of cafes Te Aro and Crafted, to see Pilot's new Tasting Bar was like watching a child growing up and reaching for the stars. The space was designed like a Scandinavian dream, simple, open, bright, high ceilings and modern.
This Tasting Bar shouts experimentation and visitors, merchants alike should come open-minded to taste various styles and methods. After all, why else would you see those multi-thousand dollar machinery at the bar alone?
The Menu is simple as it should be and we went for the "Trust The Barista" tasting, the experience felt like a similar setup to a sushi bar or a whiskey bar as one coffee came after another as you finish and we were lucky we went when they were not busy since it's during most people's regular office hours.
I'm glad this place opened because there's still so much to discover and I'm certain the coffee I didn't like will be balanced with ones that I do. I'm sure the retailers/merchants that come here have as much fun as we do when they do tastings to determine their shop's coffee.
