When I googled "pour over hong kong reddit", project c came up a few times. I stopped by a few weeks ago -- the space is narrow and compact. The coffee is made and served bar-style, though there aren't any high-top chairs. For pour overs (or "hand drip," as it's called in HK), they offered nine different beans, and I could smell each one beforehand.
I tried the "Ethiopia Jabanto" beans (tasting notes: floral, blueberry, and apple compote) for 80 HKD, which is quite expensive. The crazy thing is, a 100g bag of the same beans was only 115 HKD. But hey, I'll pay a premium for a good pour over before committing to a whole bag.
They served the pour over in a paper cup, which I wasn't thrilled about since hot coffee in paper tends to pick up that unpleasant waxy flavor. Unfortunately, the coffee itself was muted and watery. It had some fruity notes, but nothing close to the vibrant blueberry flavor I expected. Overall, I was disappointed and didn't end up buying the beans. Apparently, project c is better known for its espresso shots, so maybe I should've ordered that instead. read more
