Two for me two for you.

I was making coffee for myself. Suddenly my neighbour peak through the gate like a peeping tom.

Auntie said "wahh..smell so good".

"Freshly grounded mah", I said.

She went back home. As it's a good holiday today, I was being nice as always, made a cup of cappuccino and an americano for the neighbours :)

Daren,I'm done with the Thumper Blend. Any other blends?

Roasting and cupping coffees from Dominican Republic

Freshly home roasted Dominic Republic coffee brewed via pour over and traditional cupping and a spitoon. (never really spitted it out because it's good to be drunk)

It's golden tea/honey-like colour tasted like red dates tea with dried longan. If you tasted it blindfolded, you can't tell that its coffee.

Is that honey or espresso?

An additional collection to his Expobar Leva.

The blind tasting

The second course, a blend from Seven Seeds. Neither do I know what's in it nor Fad and Suhaimie.

We tasted and similarly found a distintive mandarin orange citrus out of a higher dose (roughly 27g-29g) compared to a normal dose of 24g.

If I'm creating a signature beverage like orange mocha, I would definitely use this blend.

Don't judge the book by its cover.

For some who had seen my earlier facebook wallpost, you've thought i really bought all three coffee.

Actually me, Fad and Suhaimie were catching up over cups of coffee at Suhaimie's place. Brewing coffees using his Expobar Leva Machine and Ditting grinder.

Only Seven Seeds beans were the original one. We didn't know what it consists of, we were told to "blind-taste" it.

The other two bags actually contains Sumatra Mandeling and Ethiopia Harar. About 4 to 5 days freshly roasted. I'm not sure if I can tell you guys who roasted them. Ask me personally alright.

The first course was Ethiopia Harar as a cappuccino and and espresso.I swear! I never drank Ethiopia Harar before.

Ethiopian Harrar coffee is a wild and exotic dry processed Arabica coffee that is grown on small farms in the Oromia region (formerly Harrar) in southern Ethiopia at elevations between 4,500 and 6,300 feet. The province of Harrar, is east of Addis Ababa, the country’s capitol.

Back to the espresso and cappuccino. I feel that... Its heavy-bodied, spicy and fragrant as an espresso. As a cappuccino, its body diminishes but it retain its spicy notes.

Not really my kind of taste. I'd prefer something with a "fruit sweetness" and chocolaty notes.

Coffee plant updates

Can you see that little green shoot emerging out of the soil? I planted two seeds but only one of it is showing progress. Lets wait further :)
