Where are they now?

The alcohol which you are looking for is called methylated spirit. It is commonly use for camping burners. It is odourless and will not create any smoke or carbon while burning. You can get it in most of the hardware shops i.e ACE Hardware chain shop. Methylated spirit comes in a small glass bottle packing or a larger packing which is 3 or 4 liters. For your case a small bottle is sufficient. I have been using it for my syphon before, but I have just bought a gas burner from Coffee Ritual at Damansara Utama (www.coffeeritual.com). They sell coffee makers and accessories for home and commercial. The gas burner is convenient to use and you can also adjust/control the flame. Enjoy your coffee brewing!

How much is ya burner roughly cost ya?

I bought it at RM129.00. It is very convenient to use.

Where else can we buy coffee beans?

I'm from Penang, there's no Dr. Cafe. The only available for coffee beans that I know are Coffee Bean and Starbucks.

Penang always has Lighthouse Coffee, Vincent if im not mistaken. You can get great fresh coffee there. I've never had any, prohibitive distance. You can always order from KL from Dankoff or My Espresso Cafe.

Any tried Aeropress, Moka Pot and Pro Espresso machine here? Whats you stand? Aeropress is smooth, too smooth, not strong enough, Moka is COOL, but hot and bitter, espresso machine is niceeee. But I do haf an aeropress at office, I grind fresh in the morning from home, bring to office to bew, but at times, bawa also 3 days later baru brew. Moka port, sold mine few years back, menyesal also since it is really very COOL!

Hey, where do you get your milk frother from yea? And roughly how much does it cost? Thanks !

I saw in parkson have this vaccum syphon for coffee around rm200+. I wonder if its worth buying...but it looks cool.

Also has anyone tried civets coffee? My dad bought some beans from vietnam..cost nearly USD$90 for a small pack. I tried some, it tends to be acidic and fruity. The brewing method is a drip holder over the coffee cup. I wonder can I get a better taste sensation with another method.

Are we able to make coffee art with the milk froth from the frothing machine, as oppose to a milk steamer?

hey, nice to see someone who prefers French Press, I have both the Press and Drip at home, but I prefer the Press, tried Aeropress twice but haven't got the urge to buy it yet.

I am very shocked that you do latte with french press, I always thought they can only be done with a clean cup. Do you do anything to remove the "mud"? I own a Krups GVX2 grinder and I find that it creates more mud than those pre-ground coffee I bought from SF Coffee.
