Any good coffee in subang area?

Taste is very subjective... especially when it comes to coffee. Everyone has his own preference of good coffee. For example, some people likes dark roast espresso with very low acidity, some might not. Some people like to use a creamier Farmhouse milk in their Latte while others prefer a more refreshing Greenfield or FarmFresh milk.

Can try the following near subang area, I think they are quite good (if the coffee is made by senior barista):

Thanks! I've heard of Bodum. But it seems to be pretty much the same thing though. Brewed coffee should taste pretty much the same, right?  tongue.gif

Wanted to get one for a LONG time - finally did from Starbucks (by chance)
Not a bad deal actually - one small Bodum (brews 2 cups) and a free bag of beans (of your choice!) for RM75. smile.gif
The only annoying thing is you have to redeem your beans a few days later sad.gif

Well, mechanism is the same, but with different quality of material. I've seen some very cheap china-made French Press only less than RM10, it uses low quality glass (easy to break) and strainer (can't filter the coffee ground properly).

Oh I see. Maybe I should just pony up for a decent one from the start.

Hi. im new here. just read through the whole topic.

I have this doubt:
does over roasting of coffee that is too bitter promote cancer due to high carbon produced? this is most likely found in instant coffee and also the local kopitiam. Does it kill you faster rather than saving you by the antioxidant values in it?

Just bought TESCO Finest single origin Colombian coffee. what kind of instant coffee is this? Is it pre-brewed coffee?

Guys, just some info on the offer above. Apparently, the offer only stands for the large Bodum press (RRP RM95.00 @ Starbucks). Couldn't claim my bag of coffee here sad.gif

Looks like I have a fight to pick @ the Starbucks I bought it from brows.gif

We ran out of our Guatemalan beans from EspressoLab, so just grabbed a pack of Lavazza espresso beans.

OH MY GOD.

It is insipid, lacklustre coffee. I'm just hoping to finish it soon so I can get back to the good beans.

Also, if you can, check out the Paradiso beans from Papua New Guinea. Medium roast, just a teeny bit acid, but packs a punch.

I haven't tried Krups grinder before so I can't compare, but you can google around. Many people say that Hario hand grinder produces more consistent coffee grounds than electric coffee grinder below RM400.

The best "budget" electric burr grinder below RM400 are those Taiwanese "小飛馬" style grinders (Feima / Akira / Tiamo brands). You can see those at some of the local cafes (Typica cafe, Await, Coffee Famille), it's around RM300 if you buy in Taiwan. In malaysia you can only buy it online (around RM400).

If you are interested, can contact mycoffeeicon@gmail.com, he's a online seller for Japanese / Taiwanese coffee makers and accessories, his FB page: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Coffee-icon-...426775530691456

Feima 600N electric coffee grinder:

oh, Coffee Ritual has just re-stock their Porlex hand grinder (RM230).
Porlex's build quality looks more solid than Hario (thicker crank and metal body)~
