I alway visit them weekend when they at sec 17. A fold crepe and 2 cup of Kenyan coffee for breakfast.

But damansara uptown is abit far and after 2x fail to locate them, I didn't go over anymore. Maybe 1 day will visit again.

Trying out the pour-over method (using the lovely Hario Buono ) but I get much more bitter coffee compared to the french press. Am I doing it wrong (over-extracting) or are my beans stale?

We use Boncafe Morning Coffee brew at the office

MR. DIY selling it at RM3.90 if i am not mistaken. U can even grab it at Daiso at Rm5.

My Starbucks French press is collecting dust. Been brought many yrs. but use not more than 10x. 

my trial to make cappucino

I finally able to find them after carefull hunt back 2mth ago. Because of the name change, i unable to find them last time.

But my favour crepe no more. So have a 2 cup of different coffee to enjoy.

Happy new year coffee lover guys. 

When for a holiday in melaka. As usual for me in melaka, eat and drink. Found a cafe shop call Mod cafe in jonkor. They serving some special coffee. What different about this coffee shop is, the owner roast the coffee by himself. Using his ingredient and machine. You can see his roasting machine at behind the shop and brewing machine in the van and outside. He get the raw bean oversea.

So try out 2 type of coffee. Aceh timtian RM24/cup and China yumen simao RM12/cup. I don't know china have coffee bean.  The aceh is the last stock he have and serving to me the last cup.

The aceh coffee have stonger taste and acidic. While the china yumen is lighter. He do have others coffee like Malaysia civet luwak coffee RM60/cup etc. As usual, latte and cropucinno too. Don't remember other name.

Rm25 for a cup is quite reasonable.

The new coffee shop is in setiawalk, puchong.

I more on adventure in coffee. I would like to try alot of kind of coffee in different country. That make me understand the people of different country. Their taste and passion about drink and food.

As an coffee lover i really love all those post i want to create my own style of coffee with chocolate however i can't still make it because i don't have yet any coffee maker. LOL.

You not think use it as medicine kua ?

Ethiopia yirgacheffe still the best

Wow, the latte in Jin Yi @ Coffee ritual was really good..
look at the crema from the espresso, Im no expert but thats where the real taste is right?

And the final product [attachmentid=3249985]

a cafe latte and hazelnut latte.

Managed to talk to the barista who took the time to explain about good coffee and the process and origin to a noob like me, made me appreciate my coffee better. Think Ill skip SB and CB for awhile.

Still coffee noob...anyways I learnt that to make good coffee/espresso can be an art form that might be worth learning..since i enjoy coffee and so does everyone at home plus most of everyone i know 

This is what i learnt...aside from great beans, grinder is very important...good and fresh coffee beans and a good grinder..the basis of great tasting coffee, many people apparently neglect these. Grind only what you need. A burr grinder is preferable, thats what i learnt..dunno why yet 

Those moka pots and french presses do their job but a good prosumer espresso machine cant be beat in terms of producing great tasting espresso eg the Nuova Simonelli Oscar (thx to TS who reminded me the brand) , the nitty gritty of it, which i also took the time to research is that this little machine uses a heat exchanger as opposed to a boiler, uses same steam vent and porta filter and stamper as the bigger machines, hence easier to get replacements. Not to mention a better and richer tasting espresso. Plus youre able to produce microfoam from the steamwand, which a milk frother cant. And the temperature is more even.
Another upside is that you get quality espresso of your own strength and taste and hopefully cheaper in the long run, in the comfort of your own home, anytime of day.

Downside is the price, a machine like these is not cheap, plus i hate to think what happens if it breaksdown.

oh..and the drinking cups should preferably be warm, these machines warm cups too..cant remeber why it has to be warm tho

Im sure theres lots more reasons, im no expert but thats what i learnt and know.

I tried the dolce gusto..not really to my liking. 

Anyway Im curious as to how important is having a hot water tap in a machine?

Just slowly learn and adventure to drink many type of coffee. And different country taste.

I like to smell the coffee before drink. Some can produce strong smell. Some is so so. Machiine brew can give strong smell from the bubble burst. Siphon too can give strong smell.

I don't have machine and lazy to brew. For everyday drink, I burn the instant coffee by very hot water. That can give nice smell.

Sometime water do give bad taste to coffee in my opinion. Some water contain too strong chlorine ruin the coffee taste. Dont like the chlorine taste in the coffee.

Dont shoot me folks  tongue.gif  but my everyday coffee is Nescafe 3 in 1, the one in the red sachet, I have it at least once a day and normally take a whiff before i drink it as i find the aroma very refreshing...value for money plus a no brainer to make  thumbup.gif.

The red 1 is less coffee taste. And too sweet for me.

My weekday coffee is also instant coffee. But nescafe 3in1 is already pass for me. I already drink till the green 1. Now level up liau. Drink vietnamese nescafe. 

I like expresso. But rarely drink. First it too small cup. Which give me too short time to enjoy. And I cannot drink too much as it too strong. Mostly, I take 2-3hr to slowly sipping coffee in a tumbler. Tumbler can keep the drink hot for long. I take 250-300ml coffee aday.

Nescafe have no more taste for me. Tak da rasa.

I miss those days in Melbourne where I pick up my coffee bean and the roasting date is the day itself. Now that is what I call freshly roasted bean. Damn, I miss Proud Mary, Seven Seeds, Manchester Press and BBB!!

I went to a coffee workshop at RAW cafe few months ago,
the owner Michael Wilson showed us how he can adjust the acidity, sweetness, and bitterness of his coffee beans by changing the roasting temperature and timing (of reaching 1st and 2nd crack).
It's true that roasting can determine the final taste of the coffee.

But the origin of the bean (same variety) still contributes quite a bit on the flavor.
According to "Coffeeology"'s author, this is because different soil and climate condition will affect the concentration of acids, proteins, and lipids present in the coffee beans.
Those difference in coffee chemistry will in turn affect the final taste and flavor of the coffee.
For example, both Sumatra Mandheling coffee in Lake Toba region and Aceh's Lake Tawar region will taste slightly different due to different soil condition, even though they belong to the same coffee varietal.
Departure Lounge is now serving Ethiopia Yirgacheffe Gelena Abaya (5 Senses), roast date: 14th Jan.
I'm gonna go re-stock my coffee later today

Traditional kopitium coffee powder suppliers roast daily; on delivery, the coffee powder was roasted no longer than a week ago.

Like wine, many people drink label rather than coffee itself.

i am also sipping single origin, Nicaragua Javanica while i type too. Lol, btw, normally what is the roasting date of the 5 senses bean they carried?

I notice some of you are using AeroPress, what's your preferred recipe?

I've been trying many different recipes (see below links),
my preferred mothod is a slight modification of Stumptown version, I let it blooms for 20 sec before I stir.
