Drink Coffee

[Hamburger]

Junk as in a combination of kopi beans and other stuffs. Not in terms of health sense.

 

To me kopi should be all beans and nothing else.

Anyone have a good place to buy local coffee powder? I like to make it at home but so far...can't find a good supply for coffee powder....I was think Malaysia, Indonesia coffee powder can get in market and etc but the taste is not up my preferrence....any recommendation?

 

I saw a shop selling at Pek Kio market/hawker centre.

 

Follow your nose when you're there.

why must kopi be defined in the way you described? anyway I think it is not necessarily true that they roast it with corn, margarine and sugar as a cost saving act. It could be that they genuinely did it that way for the taste.

 

if you ask me what sort of kopi is junk, I would say the 3-in-1 would be more so than the traditional local kopi.

To each his own...

 

Why roast this way? It's all about cost.

 

Not I say one, my kopi seller said so.

Btw, "kopi thiam's bean" is 50% cheaper than real kopi bean.

 

at least....

local coffee are junk actually.

 

its 50% bean and the other half corn and fried with sugar and margarine.

 

Take 100% robusta and arabica. less than 30 buck/kg

 

oh oh .... how much margarine will one get in one cup of coffee in a kopi-tiam.....heard on radio trans fat is considered industrial additive (thus highly bad for human consumption).

how come this thread like becoming Apple vs Android thread ?

[Kspchew]

stirling road i think one of the blocks has a shop selling coffee powder

pipit road blk 89 hawker ctr has a stall selling as well... its facing those foodstalls

 

The one at stirling road is known as Fresh Cafe at the bottom of HDB, I presume we are referring to the same one.

Yes, they roast their own kopi jee.

[Kspchew]

In the early days, kopi are roasted pure without any additional stuff. Then came the criss, where everyone wants to keep cost down, then they add in corn, which ranges from 20% to 30%.

 

Heng, I roast all my kopi jee, now too spolit for choice already. If I run out of beans overseas, I would rather have tea.

Yup, now the son take over, father focus on roasting.

If u happen to be there, try their aged Toraja.

Some low grade coffee powder are mixed with corn powder.

It makes lower pure coffee percentage per volume/weight.
