I'm looking for coffee lovers. I love my coffee to death. Every morning I'll have a cup of El Borbollon pressed with a cafetiere http://www.elborbollon.com/

It is by far the best coffee I've tasted in my life. Everything I want in a cup is there - low (or none) acidity, dark roast, strong aroma, hint of cocoa flavours and an amazing aftertaste.

I am in Bristol, UK and there is an amazing coffee roaster here (Two Day Coffee - as the name implies, roasts are never more than 2 days old) that sells speciality beans (10% of the world's coffee consumption is speciality beans, the remaining 90% is commercial crap). This includes the Cup of Excellence, an award given to the best grown beans (can be quite expensive too! - about £2.95 per 100g). Thankfully the El Borbollon is cheaper at £2.50 per 100g.

What's the point of this thread? I'm looking for local roasters in Malaysia (KL/PJ) that imports and roasts beans of this quality.

Also, looking for coffee addicts.

Have a great day.

Awesome! I'll check it out when I'm back home


@hiphopstar, your blog doesn't have anything that interests me sad.gif

@vermins, I haven't really bothered to find out, but Kopi Luwak isn't in the cupper's dictionary. There's not a big fan base and it seems more like something of shock value rather than a speciality bean.

hi there, I wonder what happened to my thread. Was it merged?

Is there a roaster in Malaysia that imports speciality beans? Any Cup of Excellence in Malaysia?

thanks for merging. I found kfchan's blog about coffee, looks interesting but doesn't reveal any local roasters.

I found a roaster on GoogleMaps. Dankoff Coffee Specialist Sdn Bhd.

Anyone knows what they are about?

Great. Where is this Coffex and do they roast too?


Added on December 21, 2009, 8:33 amI just visited their website. They claim to be specialty roasters but they have none on their eCatalog.

Naw, not interested in Coffex anymore. It doesn't seem to be single-estate coffee.

How can a company claim to provide specialty coffees when they are not specialty coffees?

Gah.

A coffee lover wouldn't depend on a machine to sort out his milk.

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