Guys, I'm currently paying RM42 for a tiny bucket of dark roasted illy beans. I assume this can be cheaper? I need beans for my grinder machine. Any ideas on where to go for good coffee beans? (also affordable).

Yup. Pavilion and Bangsar Village got.

I go to Citibank Puchong yesterday. I notice there is Pacific Coffee Company (Classy Starbucks style) in the new building in front of IOI Mall. Anyone have tried?

jaya grocer got the cheapest illy beans.

Bought Trung Nguyen Coffee beans/powder total in USD 18 for 1kg as following when I was in Hanoi early January this year, very nice and highly recommended.

a) 500g Espresso - Coffee bean ( http://www.trung-nguyen-online.com/about-espresso-coffee.php )
b) 250g Creative Five - Coffee powder ( http://www.trung-nguyen-online.com/about-c...bica-coffee.php )
c) 250g Legendee - Coffee powder (Kopi Luwak) - the highest grade (grade 10) of Trung Nguyen range ( http://www.trung-nguyen-online.com/about-legendee-coffee.php )

I was lucky to get cheaper price compared to listed price in the web, I bought the above via hotel receptionist. If you have a chance to Hanoi, don't miss this opportunity to get few pack of coffee bean/powder back.

if you want to taste good quality coffee, you can find it only at these 2 special place espressamente and the coffee ritual. others are just too commercialised.

Espressamente not commercialised? Illy is flipping everywhere du.

Agree.

Like Coffee Ritual, Typica Cafe in Shaw Parade also has syphon coffee and single origin blends, but is much pricier. They have some funky variations like 'pandan latte' and 'Soyaccino'; and some nice cakes too:

GL-08, Ground Floor,
Shaw Parade Plaza,
Changkat Thambi Dollah, KL.


Also, try Haikara-Style Bakery & Cafe in SS16 for charcoal-roasted coffee (RM7) and Jamaican Blue Mountain (RM17):

Ground floor,
E-Tiara Serv Apts,
Jalan SS16/1 (near Carrefour)

Is the Blue Mountain really that good? A lot of hype circulating around those beans. I don't see my roaster carrying it.

i am ok with the cup/size

Anyone tried Cafe Barbera in Bangsar? Address is below.

Acceptable or Noisy?

I dislike Noisy environment while having my beloved coffee
