You might have read my blog post on Tan Lee Et food industry and Haoxian, the really young Q-grader who is helping his family in the coffee roasting business in Singapore. We can finally purchase specialty grade bean roasted in the same facility by Haoxiang πŸ’ͺ Check out @pyroast for the yummy selections πŸ‘β˜• .. and that beautiful box 😁 Very flavourful coffee with many different flora and fruity sweet notes. My wife and I were very impressed with the coffee made with this coffee at @wakeysg we had to bring the beans home. The La Palma y El Tucan were grown in Colombia and was used by the World Barista Champion @jeon_jooyeon to win the title in 2019! I was actually in Busan/Korea about a month before the competition, and am still regretting for not making a visit to Jooyeon's cafe 🀣  If you like to taste the coffee made with this  beans, they are available at @wakeysg, the beans are roasted by our very own Singapore Barista Champion @zennsoon πŸ’ͺThank you for the recommendation Zenn πŸ‘β˜• Have you tried coffee made from frozen ❄ coffee beans? These are the rarer coffee beans stored in a specially set up facility to maintain the freshness of the beans beyond the usual shelf life. Think competition standard beans which are usually imported and roasted in smaller quantity, or any limited beans the @ppp.coffee's team adore. To preserve the beans' freshness further, the beans were packed individually for single order, and unpack only on demand to be grounded with the super advance Mazzer ZM grinder. Probably the only place in Singapore in a cafe setting to enjoy such coffee at the moment. The last time I had coffee made from frozen beans was at @jeremytan86insta's place. Check the 'Archive menu' at the brew bar at @ppp.coffee in @funansg for the available archive coffee πŸ‘β˜• Thank you @marcusfoo for modeling with the frozen beans and menu πŸ˜„ Congrats @ppp.coffee on your grand opening at @funansg πŸŽ‰ From the same team behind Chye Seng Huat hardware. You can find many new geeky coffee tools such as the @kvdwespressonisticworks Idro-matric espresso machine, super advance Mazzer ZM grinder with auto calibration feature ..etc. You will also find the familiar good coffee selections here. Single-origin espresso option is also available for the more adventurous folks πŸ˜‹. Most impressed with the Archive coffee available at the pour over bar which i'll write in the next post. Incase you are wondering, Papa Palheta is now known as Ppp Coffee, they have even adopted the colour of coffee cherry for their retail coffee bag. Thank you @ppp.coffee for the special preview invitation πŸ‘ Intimate cafe with lots of characters and great coffee in Busan. Kindof the vibe you get from most of the bussinesses in Busan. We had 2 different filter brews that were available on the 'wooden block' menu and an espresso made with a manual level espresso machine from La Pavoni πŸ’ͺThe filter brews were really sweet and juicy,  I was surprised with the quality of the espresso! Also interesting is the heavy duty Mahlkonig VTA6S grinder and a free roaming cat in the shop πŸ˜„ Thank you @naive_brewers for the hospitality and coffee and @duffwhaler  for the recommendationπŸ‘β˜• There are few other cafes and restaurants located in the same quiet alley which is a good getaway from the main and crowded Jeonpo district. Gesha galore at @centercoffee. This is at one of the pop-up located in Gangnam as I couldnt find the time to visit the main branch. Check out the gesha selections on the menu πŸ‘β˜• Thank you @marcusfoo and @irixyzify for the recommendation! Had a super yummy filtered coffee with tropical fruit notes of mango and papaya at @5brewing. Available as a special blend in the menu. This is also the home of the brew master! Spent a wholesome hour browsing through the coffee books here πŸ‘β˜• Visited @anthracite_coffee_roasters today which is 'almost' hidden inside an old industrial compound. It kindof reminded me of an underground club πŸ˜‚ This is another cafe which takes specialty coffee seriously and bakes pastries in-house πŸ‘β˜• Thank you @deathpenguins for the recommendation! Not only are the coffee really good (had 4 cups in one visit), the pastries are freshly baked in the shop too! No doubt, @fritzcoffeecompany is an already well known place for coffeegeeks with so many varieties of coffee to choose from. Love the cheese tart too πŸ˜‹Had a really good experience here this morning πŸ‘β˜• Hello from South Korea :) Just arrived today in this coffee crazy country. The proximity of coffee shops here reminded me of Seattle, and i've started the specialty coffee experience with @coffee_libre. Enjoyed the orange fruity cafe latte and the brewed coffee πŸ‘β˜• Do you guys have any recommendations on where in Seoul and Busan i must visit for good coffee? Haven't paticipated in such a geeky and mouth watering cupping in quite a while. To list a few, we had really juicy tasting coffee from @orangecactuscoffee , geisha from Tim Wendelboe, tropical fruit bomb from an Indonesia roaster, and more sweet coffee roasted by @rytopa.  All prepared with water enriched with @thirdwavewater! Pretty impressed with the way our host @jeremytan86insta stores the beans in the freezer and the grind quality of @rytopa's hack-ed up grinder. Also had lots of fun with the @flairespressomaker manual espresso maker. Thank you for having me, glad to meet these crazy geeky home roasters/baristas πŸ‘πŸ’ͺβ˜• I've been enjoying coffee from this cup recently and it has 'cool touch' and 'keep warm' features which are really useful for the coffee addicts. More interestingly, it is made from Coffee husk! What a way to recycle material πŸ’ͺThank you @forewordcoffee for the @huskeecup πŸ‘β˜• Ok back to savouring my coffee in a coffee cup made from coffee πŸ˜„
