Coffee Beans*

3 Aug

DSC_0826 copy

 

Last weekend I had Coffee & Macaron Making Master Course, day 1. One of my students who was back on holiday from Australia (yes, my students are international ^^*!), has kindly bought me some coffee beans from where she lives – in Melbourne. The shop name is called Seven Seeds and seems to be handling various types of coffee beans / Specialty coffee beans. They roast themselves too!

 

DSC_0832 copy

 

The packaging and the cards that were slipped together explained how much they care about the beans they carry and the passion to transfer their thoughts to consumers. I like that! The one I had was Seven Seeds Espresso Blend, and beans were from Ethiopia Yirgacheffe, Colombia and Brazil. Taste like: Plum, Raspberry, Caramel (according to their notes).

During the class, I shared beans that I got from from Jason BSC – Brazil Santos, Ethiopia Yirgacheffe, Kenya AA, Papua New Guinea, Indonesia Mandheling, and Guatemala Antigua. These are more commercial beans and it’s good to compare how different region beans taste differently. Each bean has different characteristics, and you can tell such characters the most when you actually brew them together. We also tasted above Specialty coffee in Hario hand-pouring, although the beans are suited for espresso based drink.

The coffee and cafe culture in Malaysia is expanding in the last couple of years, and I feel that we have more options and luxury to choose our coffee. We are lucky to see this with our eyes, and I hope that the industry will grow more in the future!

And I wish to visit Australia Melbourne one day!

Thanks for your sharing ^^.

BEAM @ Sri Damansara

23 Sep

WP_002232

The other day, I had a chance to visit a cafe called BEAM at Sri Damansara, thanks to my dear student who recommended me of this newly opened shop! It opened in end of July. I wouldn’t have known of this shop otherwise because the coffee and cafe business in Malaysia is expanding vast in the last couple of years. (My student has joined our coffee & macaron master course, by the way. I am glad to be sharing such information with students lately^^…)

WP_002204

As soon as I entered the cafe, I immediately liked this spacious yet cozy ambience. It seemed that this shop lot was a former warehouse, thus the table and chairs were displayed spaciously and had couple of areas in theme. This corner close to the door caught my eye as I entered, and before I even checked their menu I was impressed by how various coffee items and tools they carry for sale. They had the same kettle, coffee filter, syphon machine and others that I have, and they also had some unique coffee tools. I even found two sets of water-dripping machine on the high table (this was of course not for sale).

And then we came to the counter to order our coffee.

WP_002230

Specialty coffee and… Kopi O?

First, I was surprised that they handle Specialty coffee beans here, which is still quite new and difficult to find in Malaysia. Then I was surprised that they also serve the local coffee as well because normally those two do not exist together in the same cafe. But soon after we order our Macchiato and Hand-drip Specialty Coffee (Papua New Guinea bean), the man who made us a hand-drip coffee explained to us all.


WP_002211

It seems like this cafe was built by a coffee wholesale company who has been supplying local and Arabica coffee beans, and now Specialty coffee beans, to cafes and coffee shops in Malaysia since 70’s.

No wonder!

That explains why they have so much knowledge and sources of coffee beans, not only the local beans but also the other kinds. When he mentioned, “We made this cafe to educate people on Speciality coffee beans”, I was clapping hands in my mind(!) because I was just trying to teach my coffee & macaron course graduates what Specialty coffee beans are and how good the tastes are through my Specialty Coffee class.

WP_002205 (1)

He poured the coffee carefully and steadily… very similar to how I make mine, but slower and with more using his whole body.

He gave us a nice and informative talk. Thanks!

WP_002218

Specialty coffee beans are rather limited and hard to get, and in Japan it costs about RM70/200 gram. But now you can get here in Malaysia with around RM28/150gram!

They had various raw beans and a roaster which if we request they will roast for you (it takes about 20-30 minutes) at the shop. Their main roaster factory seem to be just around the corner from this cafe.

WP_002219

Specialty coffee beans are picked carefully so it normally indicates details such as farmer, altitude, the way they dry the beans and the aroma you can taste from each beans. After we carefully looked at the list of beans here, we bought back a packet of Tanzania Specialty coffee beans (Tembo Farm), which was roasted only 2 days ago in their factory.

Tanzania

After we went back home, we straight away made a coffee from this bean. It was really fresh and had a nice fruity flavor…

I really enjoyed the experience there, and although it’s a little bit far from my house, I cannot wait to go back there!

Coffea Coffee @ KL!

14 May

DSC_0046

 

 

I just finished my 3rd session of Coffee Making and Macaron Master Course!

It has been an exciting and enjoyable time for me to conduct this course, as I see my students learning new things about coffee and also improving making coffee and macarons throughout the course. The photo is the macarons we made in the last class, which flavors are blueberry cheesecake, raspberry, mango and passion fruits chocolate. It’s also good for the students that they can bring back a box full of macarons (30-40pcs each day)!

 

By the way, today I would like to share some exciting news about the change in Malaysian coffee! “Pour over” style of coffee making has finally  brought into Malaysia! This was a great shocking news for me when one of my students told me to check out the other day.

 

IMG_0467

Coffea Coffee @ The CURVE

Honestly, there were a few shops serving ‘pour over’ coffee even before, and I have been seeing the trend of various coffee shops and coffee being introduced to Malaysia in the last 8 years of living here. But I would say this could be the very first coffee shop that specializes in ‘pour over’ style, which is my favorite way of making coffee and have been introducing in my 3 Day Coffee & Macaron Course.

The shop is called Coffea Coffee, and is a Korean coffee shop that was brought over end of last year. They now have 4 outlets in Bangsar, The Curve, Sunway, Subang and I’ve visited the shop in The Curve and Subang.

I liked the shop in The Curve because it was very modern design with glass windows and cozy wooden table and chairs.

 

IMG_0472

Impressive sign board @ The Curve

I’m sure my students know what they are talking about here… ^^

 

 

 

IMG_0468

 

They have more than 10 kinds of single origin coffee, and all the coffees are roasted in Korea. Here, you must try their COE (Cup of Excellence) coffee, which has won some prestigious awards among the coffee. COE coffee was a bit pricier (RM20/cup) than the normal single origin coffee (RM10-RM15/cup), but it’s worth trying out! Also, they are having a weekday promotion right now and you can get RM15 for any coffee + muffins Or RM10 for any coffee (if I’m not mistaken).

 

DSC_0377

 

 

So far I’ve tried the one from El Salvador (COE), Ethiopia Yirgachef G1 (Single origin) and Ethiopia Harrar G4 (Single origin) and all of them were good with nice aroma and clear taste. Some distinct uniqueness in aroma.

Of course they also have other types of espresso based coffee (cappuccino, cafe latte, etc), so I can’t wait to try out in my next visit!

IMG_9778

In Japan where there is coffee culture, we have lots of unique coffee shops that mainly serve ‘hand-dripped coffee’. Some shop even roast coffee beans on their own from raw beans, and since it is a big investment in machine and it is quite unique they normally put it in a place where customers can see when they roast.

DSC_0234

When you say hand-dripped coffee, you use beans distinguished by countries and regions such as Brazil, Guatemala and Kenya. Some blend, of course. Unlike cafe latte or cappuccino that are espresso base and require machines, hand-dripped coffee enables us to enjoy the distinct difference of aroma in each variety of coffee beans.

DSC_0484

As a coffee lover, I have always wanted to conduct a class on coffee. So I am very excited about this course. You can tell a story from a cup of coffee and sometimes having knowledge can change the impression towards the product, just like one of my students told me “I used to not like coffee that much but now I do after having your coffee!”

I wish to share as much information as I have for coffee in this 3 day course!

DSC_0834

You will also master on making macarons during this 3 day course. Macarons go very well with coffee and our macarons are very popular among my students and customers, so I am looking forward to introducing them to you!
