roughly how much does freshly roasted coffee cost?

Thanks.

can i get any espresso machine (good brand not those low quality) with less thn RM2k??

Hey guys,

Just wanted to ask your opinions. So the other day I went to Artisans roast and ordered a filtered coffee. Personally I found it a little light and a slight tinge of sour. So I went online and it seems that everyone is chasing this lighter more acidic sort of coffee (unless I am much mistaken). Is it weird that I think a darker more bitter roast which would not be as sour is better? Or am I missing out on some flavor or taste that I did not really pick up from the cup? Could it be that what I am missing is the flavors of the coffee oil which would not be there because of the filtering?

Also I am looking to get a manual grinder to make some coffee with a french press. Can anyone recommend any coffee beans that might be worth trying?

Really cannot remember d.. but I wanted to test if I would like it (keeping mind open to new stuff). It would appear I should ask the barista for a darker roast next time. Just curious but what do you guys see in the lighter roast. Is there anything i should look out for when drinking it? A better understanding may give me a bit more appreciation for it.

Hi all, I’ve been a coffee drinker for a few years and with the recent major bloom in coffee cafes, I’m pretty interested to know the process behind it (i.e coffee beans type, flavours, extraction and brewing techniques)

Can anyone advice me on where and how should I start this new passion of mine? As a total newbie that is

i bought hario ceramic mill for few weeks already.
Somehow i feel that each grinding does not produce consistent coarseness. Does anyone realize that? Or maybe because I set a little bit too loose for coarse level? Does anyone have this problem?

And anyone here use hario v60 cone dripper? Any idea where i can find cheapest in town?
Just found out Parkson sell hario v60 for rm24, while in lelong sell for rm60+ above. It is the same right?

i've tried to regrind it second time for better consistency. No change in flavour or taste of coffee, or maybe i'm too new to justify. 

You can get a Porlex for around RM150. I got mine from eBay, inclusive of shipping from Japan.

Even cheaper now - http://www.ebay.com.my/itm/PORLEX-CERAMIC-...ecd17793&_uhb=1

Hi guys, good to know this place. I'm currently using my old sunbeam espresso machine I got from Melbourne. It has been 10 yrs and start to leak. I'm also looking for a decent burr grinder and I found this breville bes870. Which has both grinder and machine.

I've searched over myer and good guys (Aussie parkson n send) and they r selling at abt 650. Now, I know it's hard to ask somebody to bring it back. So, can we actually get it in Malaysia? I'm in Kuching. Do u thing they will do courier to Sarawak? Thanks.

It is not because of the capsule based coffee machine but it's due to the milk frother itself. If you have a steamer wand, than you eliminate the froth being "too thick" problem. Basically a frother only froths the milk but if you want smooth as silk milk foam, than get an expensive coffee maker which has a good steam wand to steam and froth the milk.  Or get a seperate stand alone milk steamer. Not sure if they have a standalone version of milk steamer. The stand alone frother all it does is heats the milk and spins the spindle.

I prefer the CBTL capsules over the nespresso.

I'm from Ipoh so yeah, shops for good coffee are limited and very far. For the folks in KL, guess its a different story.  The good thing about the CBTL is you can use any cafitally based coffee pods so you have plenty of choices if you are like me who love to import coffee to brew. I have my own dream of owning a good espresso maker but it's very expensive. Until I can afford it, my capsule based espresso maker is gonna be my everyday cuppa. Although pod machine is not the same as having a real machine, at least there is satisfaction of having a drink at the comfort of your own house when ever you want. That's convenient.

I dont see any reason why we should stop using the capsules based coffee machine. i do enjoy my home capsules although it may not be as fresh as a freshly grounded coffee bean compressed for a fresh espresso shot but it's still drinkable and it's tasty too. Guess it comes down to preferences and budget. A good coffee grinder can be very expensive too. I also realize most folks that buy a capsule machine are usually due to their budget or sometimes for convenience for a fast brew.  

But i do encourage for people to try out specialty coffee as you say especially if you are in KL as there are plenty of coffee houses with their signature blend to be tried.

Where did you get the scale? How much?

Okay thanks!

Do you guys think this is good deal?
