McCafe Coffee

Any idea of what coffee does McCafe use ?
Well, they use only 100% Arabica coffee beans, which are most sought after due to its quality
and richness of flavour . Each beans is a signature of its particular land of origin.

The McCafe blend is a balanced all - Arabica espresso with crisp fragrant wood notes,
suggestions of chocolate and nuts , medium bodied, and has a long rich finish. But it isn't just
the beans that make the perfect espresso. True coffee connoisseurs will know
that the perfect espresso is combination of :
- The Espresso Machine ( 25% )
- The Coffee Blend ( 25% )
- Baristas ( 50% )

Signature drinks :
Classic Cappuccino, soothing Himalayan Tea and indulgent Double Chocolate Frappe.

Preference : with cream or without cream ?
