What goes in a brew...

It has been really encouraging to hear that most people like our coffee! At least this show that our practice has not gone down the sink...Yes, packets of milks, ounces of espresso has gone down the sink in the name of practice

So whats make a good brew?

1. We keep all the coffee beans in air tight containers and only add a small amount to the grinder. This ensure that our coffee bean remains fresh and healthy.

2. We start grinding them only when you order your coffee. Coffee powder loses its aroma fairly quickly. Hence it is best to grind only when it is needed...

3. The espresso is then extracted using the coffee machine. You don't want the espresso to come too soon (meaning that the coffee will be too diluted) but you also do not want it come too late! (the coffee is over extracted and become bitter). So we grind it to the right finess to make sure it comes within 26 to 30 seconds!

4. Next come something that make up abit part of our life,during the early years...Milk! You need to foam the milk right to get that velvety texture. Too much air you lots of foams withs lots of air inside (rather common in most places). That is not very nice. What you want is small micro bubbles that create the seductively smooth textured microfoam....Wait, it is not just about the foam, the temperature is important too. You want to steam the milk to be hot enough to bring out the sweetness of the milk, but not too hot to the extend of scalding the milk...

5. Now imagine this seductive smooth textured microfoam with a stint of sweetness from the milk, mixed together with freshly extracted espresso...heavenly!

So come, try our brew and be seduced...

Will get some pics for this, so keep a lookout!

This is getting interesting...I couldn't get my eyes off paragraph 3. Ya, I believe most people don't want to come too soon either *wink*.... I learnt something new... an expresso that comes within 26 to 30 seconds is good. Wow even without the pictures, I am drooling...8-p
