📍 Milan Starbucks Reserve Roastery

Milan's Starbucks Reserve Roastery is located in the former stock exchange and main post office building. Since opening in 2018, it is the largest Starbucks in Europe, covering an area of over 2,300 square meters! Milan was initially selected as the site for Europe's Reserve Roastery because Howard Schultz (Howard Schultz), the former executive chairman and chief executive of Starbucks, visited this place in 1983, which inspired the idea to bring Starbucks here. There are only six Starbucks Reserve Roasteries in the world, and this is the second one I've visited. If you are interested, you can visit meTokyo Starbucks Reserve Roastery Experience huh!

Since marble is very common in high-end Italian coffee shops, unlike most Starbucks that use wood, the Milan branch chose Calacatta marble counters to enhance its sense of luxury. The entire branch wall is like a star, and you can see where each coffee bean is produced.

The Milan branch has several coffee areas, including coffee, wood-fired bread, food, retail, and cocktail bars. They specialize in coffee, cocktails and Italian wines, combining Starbucks and Italian specialties. In addition, the main bar also has an Affogato (Affogato) station unique to the Milan branch, with ice cream made with liquid nitrogen and concentrated coffee! Unfortunately, the two times I visited on this trip, they were sold out, and you can see how popular it was.

‍

Similarly, they also have coffee infused with liquid nitrogen, but they are also sold out! Finally, we ordered a cup of pistachio coffee and a cup of hazelnut coffee. Like other Reserve Roasters, the wooden plate was simple and beautiful with its unique logo.

‍

Every Starbucks Reserve Roastery has a huge roaster, and the coffee beans from this Milan roaster are mainly used in Starbucks branches in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa.

‍

You can also see the production process of Starbucks coffee beans from this transparent device! From roasting to packaging, the entire display has transformed into a Starbucks coffee experience.

Next to the stairs, a motorbike with a picture of the Kraken on the Starbucks trademark was parked. According to reports, in addition to the famous “Summon Kraken” allusion, since “Starbucks” is the boss in “Moby Dick,” trademark designer Terry Heckler (Terry Heckler) used sailing as a source of inspiration and finally decided to use Kraken as the Starbucks trademark.

‍

There is also a picture of a coffee farmer on the wall in front of the stairs. We are able to comfortably enjoy coffee behind the coffee shop, and we also want to thank this group of hardworking farmers.

‍

Finally, the restroom in the store also maintains the same light and luxurious design! The sink is similar in shape to the bar, which shows the interior designer's meticulous planning. This is my second time visiting the Starbucks Reserve Roastery. If you are interested, you can visit me Tokyo Starbucks Reserve Roastery Experience huh!
