dont know which items you are referring but i do find that some items are cheaper compared previous price. i.e. hartman lot 7 were rm150 previously, now listed as rm96 only.

i'm not anyway associated with them. just to let u know.

What is your current brew method?

Espresso can only be brewed using espresso machine. If you already have a machine, best espresso are brewed with fresh roasted bean.

These bean at cold storage and tesco are not fresh. However, some ppl here do recommend lavazza bean.

P/s: I myself have yet to try the lavazza. I prefer to get freshly roasted.

Malaysia used to produce our own coffee Liberia and robusta. When I was small, I get to eat fresh coffee fruits which were picked from the tree. These tree are grown around the kampung. Pasar tani used to sell fresh roasted coffee. You can smell these coffee miles away.

These are the reason AP was introduce. To protect local coffee farmers.

Currently, as @ymeng85 said, we have Liberica producers in Johor and Arabica in tenom. These two are well know coffee beans producers.

Over the years, production of local coffee beans has greatly reduced. However, the AP requirement remained.

It got nothing to do with bumi or halal.

The AP can be applied. Anyone can apply

espresso lab kl sentral sell beans.

you dont normally do 'cupping' after roasting?

lol. nothing to feel ashamed of. we are all here to learn.

all u need is a grinder, cup, spoon and off boil water. try search youtube for coffee cupping process. its not as complicated as one think. you just need to find the flavours and aromas that you like. cupping normally done once after roasting and after resting the bean.

smell the bean before and after grind. smell it again after pouring hot water.

slurp the spoon when the coffee is hot and when in cool down.

it open a whole new world.

try it.

IMHO there is no 'correct' or not in enjoying coffee. One man meat is another man poison.

if you're in Klang Valley, Pulp in Bangsar have regular cupping session. Last time I went, they charge RM50/- which they later convert to voucher for purchase of their beans. So its basically free.

Try contact them.

New roaster in town. Reasonable priced to. Roasted yesterday. Need to wait the beans to rest before use.

Try hand grinder. Hario slim and skerton will be within your budget. Porlex will be slightly above your budget.

wellhome zd line grinder is value for money.

its highly depending on your requirement. what you intend to do with the grinder? hand brew? espresso only? cold brew?

secondly, how much you willing to spend?

personally, i don't have any experience with ZD-10T but i have tried the zd-16 during CAFFA 2015. The grind is fine enough for espresso which for me its all that matter.

but, don't take my word as i'm no coffee snob. my latter art skill sucks. my palate is rubbish.

been using barista express for my daily caffeine dose for the past 3 years. all i want is CHEAPER cup daily. i've change from buying gourmet coffee to buying in kilos from local commercial roaster. heck, i even went to the extent substituting my fresh milk to the UHT milk.

economy is bad

if you have high expectation for coffee, then you have to invest a lot of money on the apparatus and bean

i dont drink milo. when i want hot chocolate, i use my sabah's koko powder mixed with hot milk. i dont add sugar to my coffee too.

Try to find fresh milk from local cow owner. Pasteur is yourself.

maybe can try this one instead. the Blendy brand. Sold at family mart all over klang valley. Taste good too. No need to worry about grinding your bean
