For pour over folks, sino na naka try ng Third Wave Water? What distilled water do you use and anong variant ginagamit niyo? Nakita ko kasi there’s classic for light roast coffee and there’s also another one for medium roast coffee. I brew both at sayang naman yung water na mawawaste lang kung magpapalit palit ako every time I need to change coffee beans. Also, do you still add yung minerals after brewing like Apax Lab? I was in the impression na no need na but I want to hear from people that actually mixes minerals in theie pour over coffee dito sa pinas. I usually use Wilkins distilled water though naka Summit ako ngayon for testing purposes lang.

This hasn't been talked about in the sub, but the coffee industry mourns the passing of Basilio "Basil" Reyes. He was one of the champions of fair trade coffee in the Philippines, working together with cooperatives.

You may know his family and co-op products from 18 Days Coffee in South Supermarket Alabang and Nuvali as well as Basilio Coffee in the grocery stores. His ultimate goal was to eliminate middle-men by allowing coffee farmers to roast their own beans or to sell to him at fair-trade prices. It was interesting to see his single-origins from the same mountain, but coming from 2 different barangays on either side. Parang single estate lumalabas.

If you're young enough to remember the early days of BGC High Street, they were the first to establish a coffee shop inside ROX called Alamid Coffee Express which sold,, apart from fair trade coffee, p[icked beans from wild civet (yung kopi luwak na may poop), hindi yung galing sa cages. I believe the family was also helping cooperatives establish the civet grounds as a tourist spot para ma-preserve yung natural areas nila.

For industry insiders alam ko din mejo controversial sya (mejo Tony Stark genius ang aura, because he was) and he had his share of friends and non-friends pero all in all he was really pushing the industry forward. RIP!

Hello coffee connoisseurs, baristas, and all coffee lovers.

Pa-help naman ako. I recently got addicted to this local cafe’s roasted almond latte. So, as a cheap person, bumili ako ng syrup para rito sa bahay and I saw na they use the Monin brand and sabi ko— SIGE MA TRY NGA AT HOME WHAT COULD GO WRONG?

So obviously it all went wrong kasi the benzaldehyde/cherry note of the almond syrup is super strong. As in. I tried one 1 tablespoon its faint pero yung almond taste din faint.

Please help me out di ako makakapag waldas ng 200+ everyday for their sweet-sweet yummy toasted almond latte.

I used my aquaflask to steep my coldbrew. left it for almost 3-5 days sa ref.. even with usual cleaning di na nawala yung smell ng cold brew.

Hot water did not help and usual soap. Any recos?
