taken today, Jul 6 by my dad.

pwede ba to? this is way above SRP price ah!! sa Shopwise 130 pesos lang at dun ako nakabili… tapos sa SM Sucat ganyan.. hindi maganda biro yan SM sucat!

I’ve tried Arla, Devondale, and Jolly Cow for my lattes so far, and among them, I’m really loving California Sunshine. It has been my favorite so far.

Need help for those who have purchased Gaggia and where did you get it? Is it worth it? I saw this Lazada but not sure if it's legit ??? Am not an expert but ive used an espresso machine before and unfortunately mine broke after several years of usage even with maintenance. Planning to get Espresso Evolution Red

This is the instant coffee that started my coffee addiction. Before this, I don't like the taste of coffee but this one hooked my tastebuds.

I've been trying for months on different supermarkets and convenience store, wala na kong makita. Online, sellers are sus.

Baka may supermarket sainyo na meron pang ganito. 🤞

After years of using the 'kanazawa' generic coffee grinder, I finally upgraded to a better one.

Usually DF54 at E55 ang reco dito sa sub but they're way over my budget. Got this for 6.3k @ 3mo 0%- medyo over na din but reviews are generally ok sa youtube. I guess it'll pay for itself after realizing na yung amount ng coffee na nasasayang from my previous grinder since its finest setting was still way too course pa pala for espresso

I'm in my ready to drink coffee phase so I'm almost always drinking canned or bottled coffees.

Nakita ko to sa shopee/lazada so I decided to give it a try.

Taste: it is on the sweeter side pero lasa mo p naman ung kape. If you know the taste of nescafe ice black, parang ganon ung lasa niya pero may hint to ng caramel. Lalo siya sumasarap pag nilalagyan mo ng gatas

Convenience: just put milk + ice, ang sarap na. Lasang store-bought latte from random coffee shops 😅 no need lagyan ng kahit ano pa.

Value: base sa estimation ko, kaya siguro 5-6 glasses. Depende syempre kung gaano ka kalakas uminom. Pero if lalagyan mo ng gatas, mga 120ml per serving oks na.

Verdict: taste is good. Will recommend it to people na gusto ng something better than 3 in 1 pero tinatamad magbrew minsan. I would rank it higher than a canned nescafe ice black but lower than a bottled bo's coffee.

Recently was in Hong Kong for a concert last weekend and took the opportunity to visit some cafes to experience their great coffee culture. Overall experience: I loved the pourover culture and the fact that there are so many great choices (many thanks to the map provided by the Grounds Club for the guide) but I found it to be quite pricey, good for a once in a while crawl but I imagine it would be costly as a day to day pourover.

1. Urban Coffee Roasters - Had a Honey Processed Bolivian Bourbon, which was served in a two way cup. One lip accentuates sweetness while the other focuses on acidity. I found the shop to be quite good and I appreciate that they also had an airport branch, for last minute pick ups before leaving. Coffee was winey, grape-y, very juicy.

2. KnockBox - this is a chain but really nice to see that they're accessible. We had both the Single Origin Espresso duo and a pourover from Costa Rica. I loved how strong the taste of Orange was. Also has multiple locations around the island

3. Oma Coffee Roasters - had one of my favorite cups, a Colombian Gesha which was very tea like and had a strong lemon flavor. Oma was in a very chill neighborhood and while I got a pourover, I also appreciated the choices for Single Origin Espresso.

4. Joy Of Missing Out - Had an espresso tonic at the Kai Tak Stadium before my concert and it was alright, very refreshing in the heat of Hong Kong

5. Bakehouse - no pourovers here but of course had to go for Egg Tarts and a Flat White with a surprisingly good Panama SOE

6. HOLISTIC Coffee Roasters - a really small and under the radar shop in central, loved their Kenyan Washed pourover. Also had it served into Loveramics tasting cups to highlight sweetness and acidity again. Really love the glassware culture here as well

7. SonneCAD - my absolute favorite experience of the trip. I had an ultralight Ethiopian and it was DIVINE. The store owner also is a licensed Q Grader and a champion roaster, really knows his stuff. Very friendly and welcoming. This is my go to reco for HK

8. n.o.t. Specialty Coffee - a shop near the train station before the Airport, they have many beans from various roasters available, but wanted to end my trip with a Colombian Gesha (HK seems to love their Gesha). Very enjoyable last cup of the trip

At first umorder ako ng hot Coconut Double Espresso pansin ko yung steam wand, kumapal na yung gatas sa tip. I thought sa hot drinks lang may problema so nag Iced ako this time tas ganto. Sungit pa ng barista hahaha x.x

Nakapa gastos na hobby pala to? Pero worth it naman especially pag may mga bago kang natutunan. Baka may mga knowledge kayo gusto ishare I'm all ears and thanks in advance.

I’d love to hear your thoughts on these beans. I recently tried the barako variety and found that it tastes really nice when brewed with my V60 setup. The flavor came out bold yet smooth. Has anyone else experimented with these selections? I’d appreciate recommendations or feedback from other buyers who have tested them.
