Tried the signature Dirty Loon at Loon Coffee in Makati,and it became an instant favorite.Priced at Php220. I would have gotten a second order but I decided to try the regular iced latte instead.
The entire space was charming and thoughtfully designed.The barista/staff who took my order was welcoming,which was a huge plus. I see myself visiting here often.
Ako lang ba na iced coffee parin ang hanap kahit maulan? 😁 All time fave and go-to coffee will always be sea salt latte with soafer daming cold foam lol
This one’s really reaaaally good! Kahit nagwater down na, lasa parin yung coffee. Sa lahat ng sea salt latte that I’ve tried, this one’s definitely coffee-forward. Not too sweet, not too creamy (even with the cold foam add on), coffee is ipaglalaban ka 🤎
PS. Hindi po nagmumura yung brand 😂

I’m looking for a good but budget-friendly ground beans for my espresso, then I saw this in supermarket which a quite good price for me. Is it good for extract? :)
Thank you in advance (open for reco as well)
Hi! I recently discovered interest for coffee. PickUp Coffee's Iced Vietnamese Latte really caught my heart and i'm looking to explore more sa mga kape na ganito ka sarap😭
Please help your girl out. I'm not sure if this is relevant pero i'll put this here na lang din just in case. I'm a full-time student on a budget. I used to be an occassional coffee drinker lang (mostly pag need lang ng tatambayan na coffee shop para mag aral), and ang madalas kong orderin ay Spanish Latte. I noticed na ayoko ng masyadong matamis, yung kurot na tamis lang. I also like my coffee na distinct talaga yung lasa ng kape, hindi yung puro tamis or puro cream lang. Mas prefer ko rin ang iced kaysa sa hot (although pag nagh hot coffee ako, nagugustuhan ko rin ang creamy na timpla minsan pero ayoko pa rin ng matamis).
Sorry, hindi ko alam paano pa ie expound sa words or if may jargon ba kayong ginagamit na mga mahilig mag kape. Please bear with me🥹🥹🥹 pero ayun, I think that's about it sa preferences ko.
Baka lang may ma recommend kayong cafes na nago offer ng mga ganong klase ng kape, pa suggest na rin ako anong o orderin or whatnot😭 if may particular blend or whatever kayong mabibigay, I would highly appreciate it too🥹✨️🫶
Preferably yung abot kaya din sana ng student 😭 i'd say na for now, willing ako to spend at least 250-300 pesos max for a coffee🥹 if may mas mura na hindi nawawala yung integrity nung qualities na hinahanap ko, mas okay po😭
Thank you so much po! sana may makasagot🥹🥹🥹 let me know if may details pa 'kong need na i splook para mas mapalawak ang recos🙏
[EDITED] Forgot to say pala, i'm located in Sta. Mesa, Manila po. Anywhere within U-belt or sa Manila mismo is preferred. Willing to go to Makati and Mandaluyong po if need be (heard through the grapevine na marami raw cafes doon sa area🥹). If this also matters, I also smoke cigarettes pala and occassionally vapes. So if may smokers din dito, baka may ma reco kayo na masarap mag blend yung lasa sa yosi😭😭😭 ang dami kong gusto, pasensya na😭😭😭
Hello, I am looking for a technician/electrician to repair a coffee grinder. Unit is turning on but motor is not working. I tried opening it just to tighten all the contacts and it worked for one dose but then stopped again. My guess is the connections are just loose. Anyone can point me to a technician/repair shop that's reasonably priced? I tried looking around and service costs are like 3500-4500 (more than half the cost of the grinder). Location: Taguig or Makati area
Been into coffee for quite sometime. Now, I currently hop for specialty coffees for pourovers. I don't know much yet and kind of looking for what I like. So far, I don't like coffee that are sour(Probably light roast?) Actually may natry kasi akong coffeeshop years ago na maasim yung coffeee kaya natrauma ako dun. Now, I try yardstick minsan and other specialty coffees. Before nag amerciano lang ako sa yadstick and felt their floral. Rn, hindi ko narin matandaan yung taste nun. I dont remember if it was citrus rin or floral lang if may difference pa ba? I been to good cup rin nung Feb and grapefruit rin pala natry ko.
I think I kind of want to try pour overs na hindi citrus types ang coffee. Do you have recommendations na around the chocolatey taste or nutty? My second try was a Kurasu and I still end up with grapefruit taste. Baka may suggestion kayo with variety of taste?
Tried brewing with it this morning and I feel like di ko na achieve ung gusto kong lasa.
I'm using a Kingrinder K6 and Finca De Garces beans (Yardstick), nag 100 Clicks ako for a coarse grindsize pero medyo tea like ung naging lasa. Maybe anyone can help me tweak the recipe I'm using.
Ang goal ko is just half a cup kaya 10g of beans lang gamit ko.
Also, does temp matter for french press?? Wala kasi ung temp control kettle ko kaya ung typical kettle lang na initan talaga ng tubig ang gamit ko and wala rin akong thermometer dito sa place ko ngayon.
10:180
100 clicks (Kingrinder K6)
Any suggestions???
Is this even worth it to consider I currently have a df64 gen 1 grinder that I posted recently hence the reason why I've bought the h10b. It pulls the shots I want but definitely the workflow is less than ideal for the cute size.
Now the challenge is I've recently come across a BBE. I might consider using the grinder for shits and giggles then retain my df64 for moka and other coffee. Or perhaps using it also to create espresso. I've also managed to have it up and running again.
Is it worth it to consider shifting my workflow to 54mm given that most of my tools right now are for 51mm or just sell the 51mm system and retain the BBE? right now I believe what I need is just a funnel and tamp that fits it to complement the setup. The rest can be reused from my 51mm workflow.
Or rather just sell the BBE and retain my 51mm setup altogether?
Anyone else excited for this year’s Coffee Plz? Archers alone is sulit na to travel for. Plus Afloat and Oma.
I heard better din line-up of local roasters compared to last year’s. I hope they dont get overshadowed by the internationals. We need to support our roasters more than ever nowaday.
Gusto ko bumili or magkaroon ng mga pang-basic coffee recipe pero hindi ko alam kung ano ba dapat ang mga meron ako.
Hindi ko trip like totally meron lahat ng pang-kape. Just the basics.
For example gusto ko ng Latté, Cappuccino, or Macchiato, at hindi lang basta ino-oven ko lang basta ino-oven yung milk para uminit kaya napabili na ko Aeroccino 4.
Nagse-search ako ng mga babagay sa mga Americano na alternative sa tubig, kaya napabili ako Tonic Water.
Meron ako ng mga sumusunod:
- Nespreso Vertuo Pop - para sa mga coffee ko siyempre, meron din ako Vertuo compatible capsules mapa-hot or iced, with or without milk.
- Nespresso Aeroccino 4 - milk frother para sa milk na hinahalo ko sa coffee ko. Continuous ang pagbili ko nito. Since umaabot lang ng 4-5 timpla ang isang 1L UHT milk. Suki ako ng mga Barista milk such as Arla Barista, Emborg Chef's Selection, Laciate Barista. Bumibili rin ako Oatside kasi may coffee ako na perfect for Oat Milk daw, nag-e-explore din ako iba't ibang milk like fresh milk, full cream milk and even coconut milk recently, dahil sa Coconut Vanilla Flavor Over Ice na limited edition sa Nespresso
- Milk - iba't iba ang milk na ginagamit ko, depende sa kung anong babagay na milk sa coffee flavor na meron ako.
- Ice Tray - siyempre para sa mga iced coffee.
- Tonic Water - napabili ako nito dahil sa Yuzu Vanilla Over Ice flavor sa Nespresso, sabi kasi na ito raw ang bagay sa kanya kesa sa plain water, once ko pa lang nata-try at okay naman siya.
- Torani Vanilla Syrup - kasi fan ako ng mga Vanilla flavor sa Nespresso kaya, napabili ako. Monin sana ang bibilhin ko, pero wala akong makitang maliit. Pero epic kasi malaki rin nabili kong Torani. Nagsisisi ako ngayon. Pero no choice na ko.
Kumbaga ang tanong ko, yung mga basic recipe, ano dapat ang meron ako?
Ngayon ang iniisip ko, gusto ko mag-try gumawa ng Mocha. Pero anong chocolate ang bibilhin ko? Nagri-research ako, pero ang dami kasing lumalabas. Meron may powder, meron nga Milo ang ginamit. Meron Chocolate Syrup. Meron pa yung parang candy, na bilog-bilog. Tapos sa mismong Nespresso sa Youtube, chocolate bar naman.
Although sinabi kong basic, pero recommended ba talaga ang Milo? Hindi ba weird? DIY masyado ang dating? Tapos ano ba mas recommended, chocolate, white chocoalate or dark chocolate? Anong brand exact ang recommended niyo? Che-check ko kung pasok naman sa banga.
Tapos meron pa kapag bumibili ako sa coffee shop, meron nilalagay sa ibabaw, i don't know kung coffee powder or cinnamon powder. Either way sa dalawa, ano kaya yung pwedeng brand na bilhin for both?
Tapos may mga nakikita pa ko, gumagamit ng mga caramel. Syrup naman siya. Pero ano-ano pa ba? Like anong recipe na may caramel? Basta may caramel sa name, ganu'n ba? Torani rin ba na syrup or may ibang option na mas worth it?
Lately ko nga lang din natutunan yung Affogato? Meron ba ganu'n sa Star Bucks? Gusto ko muna ma-try before ako magtimpla on my own. Pwede naman kahit anong Vanilla Ice Cream ,'di ba?
I bought a lot of beans now like Allo, Three Cups, Franken Roaster, Sibs and most of them are like below the 500 php range. I'm planning to buy either Yardstick or Goodcup Daily Driver but I feel like its a waste since im not gonna use espresso machine or pourover only Moka pot and my trusty Hand Grinder.
Hope some moka pot owners like me tried these beans.
Hi everyone! Need suggestions since I recently bought Candid Coffee Beans S’mores Blend.
First time ko lang mag-order sa kanila and ang mali ko, 1kg agad kinuha ko huhu 😭 I’ve tried everything pero it still tastes so bitter unless lagyan ko ng maraming milk pero andun parin yung super bitter na hindi magandang taste. If you get what I mean GASHDHSAG
Not an expert naman, but I’ve tried it sa Gemilai machine with my Timemore C3 grinder. I also tried it sa Aeropress, pero mas bitter pa siya 😭
Ako ba yung mali? Bad batch lang ba yung nakuha ko? Huhu please help 🥹 Any tips on how to properly brew this or get better flavors from the beans would be appreciated!
Di po kasama yung tamper hehe. Wdt, distributor and dosing ring lang yung order ko jan ☺️. July 31 sweldo sale ko inabangan. Totoo nga yata na mas mura kapag sweldo sale kesa sa double digit sale
Dunkin Carmona Branch - Spanish Latte 1.5/5
Nag taka ako nung parang lasang gatas na lang yung spanish latte ng dunkin. Nung nag order ako, napansin ko na naglalagay ng coffee beans yung staff. So akala ko baka panget lang yung pagkatimpla ng coffee ko. I was hesitant na papalitan so nag ask muna ako sa staff if ganun ba talaga yung spanish latte (tho dahil frequent ako sa dunkin eh alam kong hindi talaga ganun). I was informed na nag iba na daw ng ingredients kaya hindi na matapang yung spanish latte nila.
Na-amaze lang ako sa sarile ko na second time na to na nakapansin ako ng change sa usual coffee order ko. Pero at the same time ang disappointing kasi fav flavor ko talaga ang spanish latte pero hindi ko na bet itong sa dunkin.
Idk lang kung nag iba din yung timpla ng ibang flavor huhu. Anyone na nakapansin din ng ibang lasa ng other dunkin coffee?
Mashado pricy pero super sarap huhu
Any reco thats mas mura but same taste profile? Tried Sibs, Allo, Candid etc.
Wanted to explore other option since tagtipid na HAAH
Had the chance to visit one of the world's main coffee suppliers, so I really made sure to make the most out of my stay and drink every coffee I could. All of the items featured are found in either The Cafe Apartments or around Ho Chi Minh.
And with that, I present to you all of the coffees I tried and my thoughts on each:
Po Cafe - Iced Egg Coffee (65k VND): Starting strong with the best one of all in my honest opinion. It's the only coffee I've tried so far with crème brûlée-like custard. Sweet, thick, and flavorful din yung custard, so I really enjoyed dipping the flaky croissant that came with it. Halos walang lansa, too! (Which I really loved). Thank you talaga sa nag-recommend. (8/10)
Po Cafe - Pandan Coffee: Parang pumunta ka sa handaan tapos nag-mix yung sabaw ng coffee jelly saka buko pandan... masarap naman sya for my taste, surprisingly! (7/10)
The Letter - Iced Egg Coffee (45k VND): Small serving yet strong coffee, foamy, and not as sweet. Not bad at all, you might just want to wait for the ice to melt a bit so you get to "drink" more. (6/10)
Casa le Cuy Don - Tiramisu Coffee: I was supposed to order a Vietnamese coffee with avocado and coconut cream, but unfortunately it was unavailable that day, so I played it safe by getting a typical iced tiramisu coffee. The foam was nice, rich, and generally a little less sweet (which is alright with me). Nothing special in my opinion. (6/10)
Hoang's Kitchen - Coconut Coffee: DAMN. Isa pa ito, pantapat sa egg coffee ng Po Cafe! Hahahaha. The name may sound simple, but this is not your average coffee + coconut milk combo. Very delicious, ice-blended din so it's even more refreshing, and I also like the sweetness coming from the coconut. Not the biggest coconut fan, but it was bussin! (8/10)
Meraki Cafe - Iced Vietnamese Milk Coffee: Not too sweet, not too milky, not too strong -- just right. Quite plain for my liking. What makes this drink unique are the sliced coffee jellies in it, but the taste is still forgettable. Nice twist though. (6/10)
Iced Coffee ni Manong sa gilid ng hotel namin - Cà Phê Sữa Đá (20k VND): ITO NA YON. The real deal. Nothing beats the OG. It's very simple -- condensed milk + concentrated coffee + ice. Period.
At first I thought medyo marami yung condensed, pero hindi naman pala sya jabetis-sweet. Not sure if Viet condensed milk is generally less sweet compared to ours, pero whenever I try to make this at home, it's either too strong or too sweet. But with this one, sumakto lang yung blend nung 2 ingredients.
I think what makes it special is the coffee itself. I need to learn how they make it in batches. Sobrang sarap nito pag nag-water down huhu. Out of all the coffees I tried, this is the one I bought most often. Until now, hinahanap-hanap ko pa rin :< . Winner ang presyo, winner ang lasa. (10/10)
Iced coffee ulit ni Manong (with fresh milk): Our hotel came with free breakfast and I thought of adding some fresh milk just to see how it tastes. My personal favorite. Medyo hawig din sa McDonald's original iced coffee pag nag-water down, so it's still flavorful even after an hour. (10/10)
Ben Thanh Market - Luwak Coffee Sampler (libre lang): Smoooooooth. Though this could be counterfeit luwak (since authentic ones are quite hard to produce), the blend is still nice. NOT ACIDIC AT ALL and has some chocolatey hints. Best mixed with milk according to the seller (probably for lattes). Such a budol find! (8.5/10)
(Bought a 250 g worth of ground beans for 500k vnd huhu)
Coffee 105 - Iced Cappuccino: Average iced cappuccino served with tea on the side. (Yes -- some lightly flavored iced tea. Apparently this is a thing in Vietnam hahaha). (6/10)
Coffee 105 - Hot Egg Coffee: Rich and bold. Medyo may lansa lang yung egg (or maybe that's just me). Would appreciate it more if it were a little sweeter. Also served with light iced tea btw. (7.5/10)
Củ Chi Tunnels - Cà Phê Sữa Đá (40k vnd): Crawling through the hot and cramped tunnels was tiring, so I needed something to drink afterwards. Sakto, may store outside, so I tried their coffee. It's a bit darker than Manong's near the hotel, but the taste is almost just as bold, if not a little stronger by 1% lol. Amazed by the cheap OG coffee's consistency. Craving satisfied. (9/10)
Good Day - Mint Coffee: Hmmm... just some Viet latte with a drop of artificial mint extract at the bottom. Didn't finish it. (5/10)
McDonald's - Iced White Vietnamese Coffee: Lasang jabetis. Matamis na medyo mapait na ewan, pero tolerable naman yung lasa. Almost didn't taste the coffee huhu sorry. (5/10)
The Box - Iced Vietnamese White Coffee: Another gem right at the corner. I actually had this first before trying the one from McDonald's. Was surprised that it's not really "white" and creamy as expected. It's like a lighter version of cà phê sữa đá without losing the flavor and quality. (9/10)
Marou - Salted Coffee (85k VND): This one's more on the upscale side. Sweet, creamy... and salty hahaha. Coffee is not as strong, especially since I had it in the morning. Maybe it's better taken in the afternoon. Medyo hawig sa SB yung quality. (8/10)
Farmi Point - Hot Egg Coffee: The first ever egg coffee I've tried. Generous serving, foamy, tasty coffee, almost like a cappuccino, so I got confused whether the barista got my order right. Kaso nalasahan ko yung lansa on my last few sips hahaha. (7.5/10)
Almost all convenience stores around - Milo Coffee: Isipin mo Nescafe with Milo, but done right. (6/10)
Orange Espresso with my apartment set-up Sunkist boxed orange juice for my morning coffee
One of my faves to make sa morning kasi fast with little effort lang and prep needed.
