Bought a kilo bag (RM96) of Coffex Superbar, their award winning blend. Expiry date Sept 17, so I guess it's 3-4 months old roasted in Australia. So far I'm liking it. The crema...

Coffee beans are exempted from GST right?
Btw, how fast do you guys normally finish your 250g/500g/1Kg beans?

wow that's long. I bought 500g before and finish it around a month and the aroma of the beans not very strong anymore after 2-3 weeks maybe the way I store not very good yawn.gif Btw, I'm quite a heavy drinker at least one cup-18g everyday sweat.gif

At 14gm per cup, 500gm gives 35 doses. At 3 cups a day, that's about 12 days... just in time before the beans go stale.

GST says coffee powder is exempted, did not mention beans. Most people don't change.

250g...average 5 days Max finished.

Yes you are right... thumbup.gif

Most people don't do this, but simply by boiling freshly drawn water each time you want to make coffee makes a huge difference to the taste.
This machine can heat up the water from room temperature to the right temperature for a cup of coffee in 40sec.
The best coffee taste can be had when you use water that has not quite reached boiling point.

Learn to enjoy a cup of instant coffee and enjoy your daily lifestyle.

You have only one point which is water close to boiling temperature is most suited for coffee and i believe most if not all the members in here knows it already.
I think what we want to know is what makes the machine so special other than reheating the water just for instant coffee?

Spot on bro. Along the same lines, a temp controlled kettle like the bonavita/buono is even better cos you could do pourovers too after a while

not a commercial unit why the focus on 40secs? the instant factor?
best tasting coffee isn't instant.

for 448RM entry level nespresso does the job better, pods also better quality than instant as a premium.
no offense get a moka pot or pour over cheaper and better tasting coffee.

Just got a batch of beans from LeBistro Coffee

Attached Image

According to their website, "As its name implies, LeBistro Freshly Roasted Beans are only roasted upon order and customers typically receive the coffee within 3 days after roasting. The coffee beans are professionally roasted in micro batches using the Diedrich Roaster imported from the United States, with the roasting time and temperature carefully adjusted for each batch to create a consistently perfect roast. After roasting, the beans are packed in one way valve bags and immediately shipped to the customers."

I placed my order on 11 January, and according to the label, they really did roast it on order and shipped it the next day!! However, they send via regular POS Malaysia package mail, so it took 4 days to arrive.... still crazy fresh!!

Pulled 3 shots yesterday.... very very pleasant. I'm not a super sophisticated coffee geek, so can't analyse the taste, but everyone in my home appreciates it. Crema on the Poemia was also very nice.

And the kicker? Only RM36 for 500gm ... no delivery charges for even a single bag order!

How i wish i could get an espresso but due to budget and space constraint, i can't.
Have to enjoy my French Press & Moka Pot for now. biggrin.gif

Heck, even in office i cant make coffee using fresh milk and have to resort using condensed milk because there's no fridge and the pantry's super far.
