Hi, i didn't see any thread on coffee making method. Hence i would like to start one here. Been a addicted to Melbourne coffee since i am back from there. They seriosly having a stong coffee culture there. Love love love their latte. The creama is perfectly there. Espresso in the other hand are an eye opener there. To cut the crap, here to share my method of brewing my own cup of coffee.. Btw, i am using I using the following bean. Proud Mary Angel Wing (Hse blend), Seven seeds single origin - Honduras Finca El Naranjo and Nicaragua Javanica, Highlander Supremo Blend (Hse Blend), Tesco finest Costa Rica (This is ground coffee)

My coffee toy



French Press - Cappuccino

1. Freshly grind 7-8g of fresh coffee bean (coarse type)
2. 100ml hot water bout 90 deg ish. (boiled it until bubbling and rest it for 20 seconds)
3. Pour the water into the freshly grinded coffee in the french press.
4. Set timer for 3 minutes.
5. While waiting for coffee, boiled Farmhouse milk for 45 seconds
6. Pour out press coffee into coffee mug
7. Pour the Farmhouse milk into a cup and frothed it with milk frother.
8. Slowly pour out the milk and used spoon to block the foam.
9. Lastly pour the foam on top and sprinkle some chocolate powder/cinnamon/nutmeg (whichever u like) on the foam.
* add chocolate syrup or powder if wanna make mocha

Finished product

Since you mentioned Melbourne, would have expect you to use moka pot.

I am actually searching for Bialetti Brikka that are different from conventional moka pot but couldnt find (or at least see it) it anywhere in Msia or Melb. This Bialetti Brikka can produce crema!
Know where i can get it?

If you can't it in Melbourne, you are unlikely to find in KL.

Same like above. Just that i pour in the froth milk first.

What kind of cappuccino blasphemy is this!? Skimmed milk? Boiled? Yuck! I spot the Aeropress among your coffee toys and yet you went with the French press. Really? And I didn't see a grinder in the picture, but I sure hope you didn't use a blade grinder to go with that French press.

I'm sure you love your coffee but even Starbucks put more love into their coffee making. You have an Aeropress, use it. It has the best extraction outside of an espresso machine. And throw away that skimmed milk and get yourself REAL milk. That disgusting thing has no place in the kitchen.

I belive everyone having their own taste. My cappucino could be your latte and my defination of the taste might be different from you. Doesnt need all the bashing bro..

Here i prefer French Press as Aeropress tend to be too smooth. I prefer my coffee to be a little dirty. Btw, i do interchange French Press and Aeropress accordingly. If using Aeropress i prefer it to be inverted method as i find Aeropress coffee filters out oil. Oh yeah, i do own a Skerton grinder.

Skim milk is used as it produce nicely froth milk as it bubble rather fine. Yes, i prefer full cream Farmhouse over any skim milk. Appreciate your feedback bro but stay the bashing low. Afterall, we are here to share and learn.

Try add in some brown sugars, it works wonder

anybody knows where i can buy mocha or cappuccino powder in KL?? i just want the cheaper once not the one in the groceries.... so expensive! i wanted to create my own mocha shake with whip cream... yum yum!

Thank god, faith in humanity restored. I thought you're just just a crazy coffee bandwagoner. And I understand what you mean about Aeropress being too smooth, though I reckon it's more to do with sediments and steep time than coffee oil, but I'm not 100% on this. But whatever floats your boat....

Still, skimmed milk is EVIL. It's devil food. It should be banned forever and people who drink it should be thrown in jail.

Yes, smooth here being defined by the sendiment. Just to add up the filteration of the oil as well. The grind setting for Aeropress need to be finer comparable with French Press which is coarse grind.

Are coffee sugar crystals just a gimmick or a "real" thing?

Example:

I bought a bag last time in Mauritius but I couldn't taste any difference ... granted I'm not a big coffee person so I don't have particularly refined taste buds anyways.

I did hear b4 this type of sugar but didnt try b4. Dun think it will make any noticeable taste.

Hi I like coffee too, but cannot afford to buy from Starbuk, coffee bean, everyday, please advice what to buy - equipment and bean, that I can enjoy every morning in office.

I saw a show by Moses Chen,from TVB, he have set of travel kit to make coffee, where can I get it ah?

For a starter u may want to invest in a basic tools like frech press (recommend Bodum brand) and a Hario Skerton grinder. Buy freshly roasted bean and grind yourself for maximum freshness. Total cost might below rm300

Coffee bean may get from myespresso. Higlander Supremo blend.

wow,
nice topic, i really like this,

want to share with you the Vietnamese coffee.
http://www.trung-nguyen-online.com/about-v...mese-coffee.php

quite cheap to make a cup of coffee, (20 RM for 250gram coffee and 6RM for filter).

anyone here using Syphon to brew coffee? I'm getting my beans (primarily Kenya AA/Columbia) from Taiwan.

Haven't venture into Syphon though I heard a lot of it. Would love to try it soon. Currently in love with Proud Mary House blend.

I believe Vietnam coffee are using drip style. Didn't get any Vietnam fresh bean on hand yet. Would love to try some too.

yes, i have some and want to share with you. are you in KL? i also love your coffee marking style.
