thx.. perhaps i get a friend to collect it in SG for me.

any other website worth take a look for online shopping? google around most are from US and they are in 110v. Australia website seem more expensive.

Thank god i checked with this thread before throwing money down the drain. I also wouldn't be able to tell the difference between a genuine one and a knock off one anyway. The thing that mislead me was that they showed the original price of 153. But just out of curiousity, how bad was it? The aeropress seems to have a simple enough mechanism that isn't hard to get right.

So which store sells aeropress that you guys can vouch for as genuine? I have already tried checking the aeropress site and they only list one store in kl as a recognized dealer. Cuppa is online only and kfchan is a tad too far for me. I would prefer to be able to walk in and inspect the product before buying it. So any stores in PJ that sells genuine aeropress? Coffee ritual would have been perfect if it wasn't sold out

monjava beans?

I buy my beans from KF and from time to time, I will drop by his cafe. Not sure about bad support, but so far he has always been very helpful with his insights and never hesitate to share experiences and knowledge. Like Danny and Keng Zhi, they too likes to share.. maybe face to face would be better lol.

If u r looking for cheap beans, do u know about antipodean merdeka bean? Indonesian arabica bean. Rm25 per 250g & can get a free drink, latte, cappuccino, french press...
I will get a beg from them everytime im in KL 😉

Whats the roaster name & exact address?

Thanks for the reply, will check them out
Currently I'm getting illy from Classic Coffee and Beverage Malaysia (purchasing 3-4 canisters x3kg each time). Probably will switch to someone who can deliver in smaller batches, nothing worse than stale beans. I'm still far from the level where i can roast my own coffee, doubt i'll ever get there 

There is old fashion way to roast or this high tech way

Illy coffee not cheap right? 250g how much?

Buy enough to finish them in 2 weeks. I consume like 750g a week, can easily order on a weekly basis and get them to give u a discount for a year long subscription just have to email them and see you can work out a deal

Different blend peak at different time, also last for different time.

Klatch told me their WBC generally peak on the 7th day.

Anyway general rule of 15 always come to play. Can finish 750gm in a week can afford it to get it ship from
Neighboring countries if they can get u in say 3-7 days.

Been looking for a good cafe that serves good espressos around the east of Malaysia...

I have failed so far to identify one...

I am working in one cafe as a barista but the equipment provided are not enough for me to pull a great shot that satisfy me...

is there any cafe utilizing a slayer machine around Malaysia?

I would like to try a shot pulled by a slayer ala slayer style 

Mine is like this one:
http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/91Pd...7,606_SH20_.jpg
RM395 for 3kg
If we buy in 250g cannisters it will be very expensive.

I am using the same grinder in the shop.

How is the shot? too fast? too slow? bitter? sour?

But for my upper burr I am using it on setting 4. 6 is maybe too coarse for the coffee beans you are using. Try changing it to 5 first and then further down for a finer grind.

I used to go all the way down to 1 too when it was on the default setting 5 with the older beans.

Slayer plus a commercial grade grinder for decaf and regular would run you around RM55k today.

Reach out to them to get a price

haha, dialed in different blends from all over the town (KK) to know enough I guess... but I hope that I can be exposed to more types of SOs and blends from all over the world.
But the coffee scene here just started so maybe I'll visit more cafes when I get back to the West this coming month end or maybe when I have the chance to go out and drink more 

lucky my palette not that good to taste between day 4 vs day 11.

much like yourself I try to finish my beans within a reasonable time.
it great U can keep to such tight rules.
Optimal time is what? Peak of day 7, day 6 and day 8 how? For ppl who can consume a lot like JCogent not hard to clear in 7 days just really depends when coffee gets roasted and how it it takes to get you. If one is buying from U.K., 7 days gone by! Some buy from China when it gets here over 2 weeks flew by. Even can finish in 5 days means little

most ppl are not able to discriminate between 5 day old vs 10mths old when they drinking their fav frap. which is why biz for these chains are good or GREAT.

Crema
Beans for espresso is best between 1week to 3 weeks old. Below 5 days, you will get lots of crema but dissipates very quickly in the cup (I call it immature crema). Too old, you get 0 crema ha-ha. How many ml/g do you get with 25sec? Just to see if the grinder is grinding fine enough for you
