Espresso cant drink? haha..well for me i 50/50 agree lo...hahah. When i just started to learn about coffee basics.. that ws wat i think oso, but then i learned about it and started to accept it.
 When on one learning session with my boss, i took like 5 shots of espresso, one after the other... to be shown how the taste can be affected... tummy does feel a bit itchy tho..hahha.. that's my highest record, 5 shots in a short period of time. Miss those days..hahahaa |

Well, erm. to giv u a rough idea... its like u put about 3 teaspoon of nescafe and mayb like 3 tablespoons of hot water... stir it well, no sugar no nothing.. juz plain nescafe and water.. then u drink.. it's something like that la... but the exact taste of espresso and nescafe would not be the same.. juz giving u a rough idea/heheh. correct if i'm wrong guyz.

let's see... one shots, one mouth, one go and all the way;
one smell of it, one look at it, you can tell right away if the coffeebean is good, if the barrister is good. without sugar, without hesitation espresso is for those who's on the go sadly those who's cheap in general will order espresso coz it's cheap only to be shitfaced when they try not to waste it thick and rough, strong and kicking, these are the character of a small cup of it. if it's thin, taste icky, the bean is bad, the barrista know nothing about coffee, well sucks to be us where people dont exactly know how to sit down and enjoy, what exactly is the Art of such Brew. [edit] record 9 shots. twice perday, it totally f***ed up my bio clock and i stayed awake for 36 hours and it was FUN kekekkekekekkekekekkekekke note: my avatar is a coffee mug This post has been edited by Pepper: Dec 3 2008, 09:29 AM |

Everyday I take double shot + Cigarette before leaving to work. I feel fresh entire day working for 9-10 hours . I bought espresso bean from starbuck and
grind everyday at home. More save! For me Starbucks has better espresso bean rather than the other because its taste bitter, strong and extra bold. I prefer not to use sugar because it will affect the taste of bean itself. However you can choose to add some non sugar ice cream with your espresso.

Wondering what brand of coffee is good here in Malaysia ?
Have gone thru a "canister" of Nescafe regular, Nescafe Gold, IndoCoffee, and some designer Italian coffee since getting back. Not bothering with the Italian one since I got it in a hamper and havent seen it on shop shelfs here before. I realize some take coffee drinking as an "art" , but I would really like to try some local brands here. |
