      I Tryed Shell. (Shell Select)
      They work in here our local brand Called "Kahve Dünyası (Coffee World)"
      They had 7k dollar Machines (which is maybe low for you but 1 Dollar was 20 Local Money in here)
      I Drink quite lot, Espically on our 1 week holiday, Which is very good.
      Machines Will Grind and Serve,Paper cup and sugar etc. free.

    As an American, I'm shocked that you can actually get espresso and cappuccino at a gas station. All of those look better than the gross drip coffee that's been sitting out all day that you see in most American gas stations.

      As a fellow American, I agree. Considering what we pay for burnt coffee and the current value of the euro, we’ve been duped…

    I think the quality of the coffee is only due to the quality of the machine and the quality of the beans... if someone gets a strange taste or smell might be due to the saturation of the olfactory system with hydrocarbons from the station environment. in my country (Portugal) you can find excellent expresso, 0.7Eur and in a porcelain cup in almost all stations

    Nice video. Here in Brazil it is becoming more and more common to find manual espresso makers at gas stations...The problem is that 90% of the time the clerks can't use them properly

  • @sarunasliutkus2932

    Here in Lithuania the situation is probably the same. Those bitter, ashy, rubbery espresso's is killing. Since I don't like latte or cappucino which probably would hide that coffee taste the only option I get is to make my own at home and fill my thermos. That's it.
    Not long ago tried espresso at my local town, one sip was enough to throw away whole cup..

  • @kulter20

    So I'm a truck driver and often get some coffee at a gas station. Most of the time I go to the Shell Cafe which has some pretty alright cappuccino's. They get made by the 'barista's' on the spot. But it's often a hit or miss with them. Sometimes they're at a good extraction, other times they are either under or over extracted. Esso has some decent as well. But I'll always swear by my own freshly made coffee at home.

    some years back I remember that I was suprised when I crossed czech border and I saw quite a lot of ''Autogrill'' bistros at gas stations... unfortunatelly, the czech Autogrill doesn't make the good italian espresso like the italian Autogrill, just ugly brown brew, like others do. However, in France, Germany, Belgium and the Netherlands, coffee at the highway is very bad as well...

  • @isloth75

    What I really want to know is what water do these places use. Are they really using the regular tap water & if so, how old are those pipes & is it filtered?? An attendant at one station told me the water pipes were probably really old, like before the 70s! Bad deal if u want to avoid lead. I mean do these places even test their water?

    8 is a pretty high (too high) score for a gas station espresso. If we consider, 10 is "God shot" specialty coffee espresso, than then it should be much lower than 8. For the next challenge I propose, coffee in fine dining restaurants. Maybe even Michelin star ones. I hear coffee is pretty average in this places, which shouldn't be the case since the chefs are such fanatics about every detail, they even pay attention to the flowers on the table. It's very sad if they look over, coffee quality.

    • @EuropeanCoffeeTrip
      @EuropeanCoffeeTrip  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thanks for the comment! Our 10 in this challenge was an average (good tasting) espresso in a specialty cafe (I don’t think we mentioned “god shot” in the video).
