Recently I bought pre grounded coffee but it tasted kind of bad and made me headache. First time bought pre grounded actually, before this always use roasted bean. Is generally pre grounded coffee taste bad or I just chose the wrong brand and quality?

I dose by serving, never filled the hopper before (in fact I just use the tamper to cover the bean entry and keep hopper in storage cabinet haha

Then brush and air blow the hell out of the machine to get everything out. Very very tedious and slow but that's the nature of the home barista smile.gif

rclxms.gif best way to do it if your volume is not huge. just like a home barista. thumbup.gif maybe invest in ceado E37S? brows.gif retention 0.5g icon_idea.gif

When too fresh, you'll get a huge layer of crema but you'll notice it dissipates very quickly. This indicates it's not yet stable because the CO2 content is still too high in the bean (not rested long enough)
This crema doesn't play well with milk and may give you an extra bitter layer on top. Most apparent on the first sip

But do take note that this is different from bean to bean as well as the roast level of the coffee

Try and let me know!  smile.gif

Hi,

I am coffee noob.. Thinking of buying an average for home coffee espresso machine from Lazada.

I am based in Subang jaya. Does anyone here knows any shop/house/place/coffee roaster that sells reasonable price coffee beans/Biji kopi/grind coffee/serbuk kopi?

And also I am still noob, at the moment trying to research and read and understand more. WHy cant we use those serbuk coffee like those in chinese kopitiam use for espresso machine yea? cause I think those chinese kopitiam/hainanese coffee flvr strong n nice.. confused.gif 


SOrry i ask such stupid questions..Trying to google and understand more..    sweat.gif
*
no such thing as stupid question as everything has a learning curve! icon_idea.gif

is not cannot but its just not your preferred choice in making espresso with kopitiam serbuk coffee, as the taste may change due to the difference in brewing, kopitiam don't use pressure to brew but espresso uses pressure to brew, so it may change the characteristic of the coffee. Just do your own hypothesis and experiment.

just try out aeropress (in-between espresso and filter IMHO) as u can start with lil budget before spending too much on cheap espresso machine and end up giving up on espresso and money wasted! mega_shok.gif

Just tried Yarra milk by Farm fresh....really like it. Hope the price remains reasonable and easily available.

For those looking for "raw" milk, perhaps you can try getting unpasteurised milk from the suppliers of milk to Indian cuisine restaurants. I know quite a few people like it with local kopitiam coffee, but personally too strong milk taste for me.

hmm.gif indian cuisine restaurant don't use cows milk i think its highly likely goats milk. anyone tried with goats milk? confused.gif
