Moses Chan shares his passion for coffee in his book

Moses Chan has written his first book called "My Coffee Guild" which in fact is a map of Cafes. It includes all the local Hong Kong coffee shops as well as cafes abroad. In his book, he makes recommendation on his favorite cafes.

"When I wrote this book, I felt modern day life is too fast, people are so busy earning a living. I hope people will take his time, say 5 minutes to drink his coffee and let that time stop. Even when heaven falls down, finish the coffee first! This book is dedicated to coffee lovers. In fact, the coffee industry is developing in Hong Kong, I would like to share my passion for coffee with everyone." Moses reckons cafe is the best place for social life, and to meet people as well as having a cup of coffee.

Moses said "I appreciate the way each cafe processes their coffee, from the way they blend the coffee to pouring it in a cup. Each cup of coffee has different flavors, such as sweet, sour, bitter or chocolate taste, and each flavor has been processed with hard work. In fact, my knowledge of coffee started from zero. I was a teenager in Australia when I had my first cup of coffee. A friend of mine put a cup of expresso in front of me, telling me that was a very strong cup of coffee, drink it like a man. I poured it into my throat straight away, and it was absolutely bitter! After that, I drank a lot of expresso to show that I am a man. I also tried different types of coffee, but I was not a coffee lover at that time yet. Until someone suggested to me not adding any sugar in my coffee, than I started to appreciate the real taste of coffee. I even looked it up in the internet to find out more about it. I discussed with some coffee expert, trying to understand more about coffee. I can say I am a coffee collector now; I have different coffee machines and blenders in my kitchen. I drink coffee whatever my mood is."
