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...


If anyone is interested to try, I can let go some, at cost, COD Subang/USJ.

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

250g sometimes 1 week sometimes around 2week

That's quite fast. My 500g can last me about 2 months.

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 Btw, I'm quite a heavy drinker at least one cup-18g everyday

I still have some Yirgacheffe in stock. Will PM you separately

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.

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

Hi everyone, im new here
been using delonghi ec155 with krups gvx2 for almost 2 years. Thinking to upgrade for both of it and i need some advice from sifu here.
😊😊😊

300gm every 1 week or less.

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



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!

yup espresso. i love latte
upgrade to something like eureka mignon and ns oscar. around that budget.
is that good?

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.

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.
