starbucks roastery v2

The largest working roastery in Manhattan has just opened its doors. After Seattle, Shanghai, and Milan, this is one of four Starbucks Reserve Roasteries in the world. Each is designed to represent its city. In Manhattan, the pipes on the ceiling represent the subway system. This Roastery cafe covers an area of ​​23,000 square feet, Allowing people to experience the process of roasting coffee beans at a close distance. Bags of fresh beans go through thin pipes to the roasters, and end up in a big copper cask. When the bars run out of beans, they simply transfer them through the copper pipes. The experience bar allows people to enjoy an up close and personal experience with baristas and craft mixologists. Even if you’re not a coffee fanatic.
