In short,

hkcoffee.com
- Chinese website but they speak English. Just call them.
- More than 30 single origin both green and roasted coffee and 5 espresso blends.
- Roast right away to your order at 100g minimum
- Offer delivery service
- Very friendly and approachable service.

just-java.com
- Owned by Paul Pratt, a famous coffee guy in HK.
- Back in retail business after 5 year hiatus, according to the website
- Minimum 225 g bag, mail delivery
- Freshly roasted few times over the week.
- Offer both regular and fair trade/organic coffee, approximately 10 single origin and some espresso blend
- Very professional service.

I recommend both places and they have different character/style, etc.

have you tried nespresso machines? They are great! I believe you can buy a system in HK as well and each espresso is about $.55/USD = $5HKD or so. Perfect little shots of espresso each time. www.nespresso.com

p.s. no, i don't work for them )))

My friends bought the machine that looks really cute and cost her HK$2,000+. She said it tasted great. However, she now prefers my simple pour over coffee with really freshly roasted bean to her nespresso system.

I suggest you try both. Try nespresso at City Super (I think they maintain the counter there), then you can drop by hkcoffee.com to try their coffee. You will realize why my friends now prefer just pour over coffee to coffee system.

And I don't work for hkcoffee.com Nor do I work for just-java.com too.

i agree nespresso is really to make espressos and not really cups of coffee. :-) nothing beats a freshly brewed cup of java - maybe go to indonesia and pick up some authentic java coffee! :-))
