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 smile.gif

There are a few ways to do this..

cheapskate way:
1. go to cafes (during non-peak hours) and chat with baristas. most are more than willing to share their knowledge with you.
2. do your own reading/research online

non-cheapskate way:
1. register for coffee appreciation classes (not very common but more are appearing nowadays) or professional classes at barista guild asia.
2. buy coffee related books.

There is no "right" or "wrong" way to do this. Just make sure you have an open mind and enjoy the learning journey.  smile.gif

Hmm I think I will try both ways. Pretty interested in the coffee appreciation sessions but yeah, it's not happening frequently from what I've searched online.

Hi all,

Where exactly do you find the milk frother in IKEA. I hunted high and low and ended up asking the store assistant on the exact location. She tells me it's out of stock.

But when I checked online, they still have 100+ in stock sleep.gif
