Cigarette makes it possible to get out of bed in the morning, while coffee makes it worth it.

Today I going to talk about something my favorite. Coffee. and BTW stopped smoking for 6th days already.

I remember my first exposure to a coffee machine in Haato cafe. During then, I must be able to make simple coffee with espresso base. Making espresso on the machine was not difficult at all. But then I got trouble streaming the milk, always ending up burnt. (over streaming)

So now I had been improving. Why leh. Because I had been practicing with my company's espresso machines.

Rinse with hot water

Grind coffee powder

Tamp it

Running preferably 9 bar pressured water to extract the coffee oil

Froth the milk tip: start from the middle and let it swirl the milk around

My daily latte fix. FYI golden brown is called 'crema'

For those who knows me, I had a very addictive personality. There isn't a word as "addictable" however I was trying to express that I am very prone to addicting. Caught a few addiction and got off a few. Caffeine addiction might be one of those which I had no intention for quitting. To my surprise I realizes that Australian is also coffee drinker. Everyday coffee like me, we could easy drink 3 cup a day.

At home, I used to drink 3 in 1 coffee. My close friend knows if you come my house often enough. Very recently only, I got myself a coffee socks. I had been making traditional Chinese coffee. Well, inspired by Liping who brings back a Vietnam coffee brewer.


I therefore sourcing for so many so many other ways to brew coffee, but in Singapore you can't find them. But in Australia, there are abundant of them. Deon, who takes care of us gave me a plunger. (french press). The most easy equipment to brew coffee and its very popular over in Australia.

4 cup plunger

Then I a bit siao, go and buy a portable plunger from bodum. This one only 330ml capacity therefore one serving per time. Very innovative design so I decided to keep one myself. Its a photo holder, the space around the cup had 2 layer plastic so also acts like an insulation. Spill resistance like a water bottle, so I can carry to school. Yeah!! I am so happy.

Now I left a stabbie holder to make my collection complete. Stabbie holder was used to hold can drink or stab to keep it cooler/ warmer and absorb water. Something I coaster like that. I can one to wrap my portable plunger. So cool right.

This stabbie holder was an Australian product. I think I will get this as a souvenir. Ask me for one ")
