Yeah, they close their shop in penang and left only the academy....if not mistaken i think their academy also close down already.... just only see sign board each time when i pass by....
Yup, i'm talking about COD only also..... maybe penang is one sea apart from peninsular...that why expensive abit...hahaha
Good luck on your biz ....
Another credit to you, try your bean last night (Haven't tried since i brought because i develop flu and cough only got better recently) and it choke my machine badly, and you beans had force me to step down the grind setting. That is the sign your coffee is really fresh out of the oven..... Previously i tried beans from other location cafe with same grind setting (finest setting in my machine). It didn't choke at all mean that beans are not that fresh already....

Mostly imported. Some from UK, some from SG, some from ebay

Which shop in Perak Road? And how's the quality? Present or past crops?

"Lighter roasted coffee also means more caffeine. Caffeine is burnt off as the coffee is roasted, so the lighter the roast, the stronger the kick because the less caffeine has been burnt away."

Agree?

perhaps you can do some good committee for you condo by contributing some puck to your condo gardener or landscaper (I believe you condo had some plants or landscaping need fertilizer) .... save the condo budget and go green at the same time.... 

A puck a day... have to speak to the Management on that, later they say I littering    Not sure the Nepalese gardeners know how to use the puck, later he just chuck it in the bin.
How do you put it on the soil? just taruh the whole puck there? break the puck into grinds? Is 1 puck enough? or have to gather a few? Compost? I notice the pucks start getting moldy after a few days.

There is you answer..... You had to break up the puck then apply at the plant  if it were in puck form it would do very little used for the plant unless you plan to use it as decoration instead of fertilizer.....

hey guys, I am just into the coffee game.... Any good value for money beans to recommend? (affordable)

I tend to use aeropress, french press and drip coffee.

I use to purchase starbucks beans but I am trying to find something similar at a cheapper in terms of price.

I tried BON cafe but didn't like it. I didn't get the metal filter.I am using paper filter. I feel if I use metal filter it will be the same as the French press

what your cold brew recipe?

as for me, I'm using 100 gram of espresso blend bean, grind to the size for french press with 800 gram of water. Steeping time of 24 hours.

Result, deep dark full bodied taste minus the bitterness and chocolatey aftertaste. Good either with ice or with milk and ice.

I have some beans that are about 9 months old (I stored/archived them and forgot about it)... can they be used for Cold Brew?
Or just use as fertilizer?

Hi i do not use any high tech roaster to roast my coffee. In any hobby/interest i always start with the basics.
I started roasting using pan/saucepan with a lid method over the gas top. it was quite good after using a heavy cast iron with a glass covered top i could get the bean roasted around 15-16 mins second crack. i drank pan roasted coffee for 1 year now. I'm also not a coffee snob and just enjoy the freshness of the roast and notice that flavours develop each passing day. I know what people say that coffee is just right for espresso after 3-4 days but i don't see it. i drink it an hour after its roasted and its lovely. Each batch lasts me a week never longer as i find week old coffee not pleasant.

then i tried moving into a diy drum roaster (LOL) which i made out of a stainless steel bottle and some hardware parts with a hand drill.

it worked but the roasting time was far too long. as the canister was very low in mass and could not retain heat so the total roasting time too 20 mins pass and it wasn't pleasant to drink kinda like baked coffee beans. Might work if you had higher heat source. say turbo stove or maybe heat gun.

the current project I'm trying to use a fat free fryer. basically it looks like this

Decent roast it tumbles to keep the bean moving. but the roast is still quite uneven. still need to move the beans more.  adding vanes to move it more and removing the thermostat is my next project hack. Temperature cuts off at 210 C.  but this is all automated so my arms are not tired. pan roasting very tiring on the arms as i have to keep moving it for 15 mins. /of course can buy a real coffee roaster but where the fun in that. Plus I'm a cheapskate!!

as for the beans i buy them local. i don't order in from overseas its more expensive to buy them local but at least i get to inspect the beans before i buy them. in KL i buy them from bon cafe sri hartamas. if you need the number and address let me know. they have most basic selections there. Brazilian,sumatra,indian monsoon . if I'm up north i buy them from a coffee distributor in penang. Christopher Coffee Food & Beverage Service & Distribution Penang (you can try search online) they have more exotic beans like blue mountain /luwak.

happy roasting and drinking coffee.

i cant believe it ....
Post Laju how can you lost my parcel contain coffee beans, coffee beans also want to curi.....  at least beanshipper still honor my deal and replacement me with new set of beans....

Peoploids,

It's budget grinder discussion time again!

My Feima 600N just died on me last night, so it's a great excuse to upgrade to something better. However, I'm saving my moolah for a proper drum roaster towards the end of this year, so I'm allocating only RM 1500 or less for the grinder. Also, I prefer new, mainly because I hate chasing for a good secondhand unit only to find out it's been sold already.

So, any suggestions (and pointers on where to get them)?

My current interest lies with a Gaggia MDF at RM 1289 from Lazada.

Thanks in advance!

Hi Liquor;

If you have a French press, it will function exactly as the "manual" milk frother.

I find the French press/ plunger type better (easier & more stable froth) than the battery operated wand type. However it seems to require milk for 2 cups or more. I guess if you are only preparing for one cup it is only practical to use the wand type.

These days I must say I never have the time to steam or froth...it's nuke for 1 minute, pour into the coffee and off to work!

Yup, going to make only a cup at a time. Alright. I guess i have an answer at the moment. Thanks!
I've tried warming the milk and tried to shake it. Cant get much much dense froth.

Hi, anybody know where can I purchase the grinder burr? Mine one is old grinder, La Scala brand. Checked the diameter, 65mm. I can't find in taobao. Dunno 64mm can fit or not.
