Cappuccino vs Flat white

This ain't a cappuccino..it's a flat white. Often reason that will be given is, the surface area of this cup is wider hence that 1/3 foam spread evenly." if you transfer it into a tulip cup, it'll be proportionate".

Cheng Mai, Thailand beans at Toby's

An earthy herbal espresso. Apparently light bodies.

Long and Black..

Three different cups. Cheng Mai, Thailand. Costa Rica COE and Rodyk blend. Comparing the three cups I had over the few weeks. The most pronounced notes were a cup of Costa Rica COE ( perhaps that's why its a Cup of Excellence) i had a few weeks back; tanginess in a way i like, light bodied and clear taste of the notes as a long black.

That coffee interest suddenly coming back. In my mind right now, deciding to go Nylon Coffee Roasters or meet up with Ryan at Strangers Reunion. At the same time considering the tight budget I have. I'm saving up to join SCAE member and to take up the Barista trainings. And....definitely making a comeback for next years Singapore National Barista Championship main and latte art competition. Greedy you may say..? But I've waited 2 years for this moment. Any sponsours....?

Been hibernating?

Been so so long that I've lay a hand on coffee roasting and things involve with it. I have been in hiatus for a while now. Been dealing with different f&b places to understand the different concepts reality has. Been working at Jimmy Monkey Cafe & Bar lately, and now at Kith cafe located at Park Mall. Did a job at a bar recently. All this done to equip myself with the necessary skills when i ORD.
