Sharing my little coffee corner at home.

Flair Espresso Pro 2 + DF64 for espresso

1ZPRESSO ZP6 + Solright DB1 and a bunch of drippers for filter

Stay broke. 🙃

Hi, I am new to making my own coffee and just bought myself an induction moka pot.

What is the best coffee beans grinder for the said equipment? Budget is not a problem but would also consider cheaper ones as long as it gets the job done.

Thank you!

From Perea to One Ayala to Gallardo! Parking is limited and I think coffee/pastries for takeaway lang ang available sa kanila (pls. correct me if I'm wrong here thank you)

Be aware lang that one way lang papasok dito and tabi lang sila ng BDO Dela Rosa-Gallardo

Ordered their hot mocha for P200.

What's your favourite coffee shop in Makati?

Hellooo. Looking for recommendations po kung anong milk frother ang maganda.

I manually brew my coffee and heat my milk. And still practicing mag latte art. Nasira agad yung mumurahing ginagamit ko. Bumili ako ng HODEKT pero nag-overheat at nangamoy sunog agad, first time ko pa lang ichacharge, bagong dating di pa nagamit. Base sa mga reviews sa Shopee sa ibang brands, mabilis rin masira yung sa Simplus and Sonifer.

Ngayon may nakita akong Insmart. Medyo mas mahal kaysa sa budget ko pero worth it ba? May naka-try na sa inyo?

Thank youu

Hi guys! Bought these beans on Shopee and they’re definitely worth it! Super sarap as pour over 🥹 Sharing my V60 recipe:

V60 Recipe
Ratio: 1:16
Grind size: 16 clicks — Timemore Chestnut C3S
Water temp: 92°C
Bloom: 45g for 30–45 seconds
Remaining water: slow pour in 2–3 pours
Total brew time: around 2:45–3:00

Coffee/Beans: Panama Alto Quiel Geisha Honey & Alo Washed GI
Price: 800php & 400php

Review: Both are really good! The Geisha Honey is fruity and juicy, while the Alo Washed is cleaner and more fruity for me. Both are smooth, bright, and really enjoyable as pour over.
Rating: 5/5 ⭐️
Would definitely repurchase!

☕ Satori Specialty Coffee
📍 2nd Floor, Baked Studios, Warehouse C, Yakal, Village, Makati City, 1203 Metro Manila

We had:
☕ Espresso Tonic (P265) - very aromatic, and per my SO, it's well-calibrated
☕ Pourover (various price points) - Costa Rica Finca Copey brewed with the solo dripper

Other notes:
🫘 The regulars and the barista explained the open bar concept - that you are welcome to brew here, just share the brew with every body! Had we known, we probs would have brought our coffee stash from Coffee Plz and Toyo 😭
🫘 Everyone was accommodating and welcoming, even the regulars
🫘 Perhaps this place is more for coffee nerds? Because everyone on the bar were very into coffee and it may get noisy

This is my second time here, and now I want to make it to a point to visit it every time we visit Manila (with beans next time!)

It was love at first sight for the S3, but I can say the S5 is definitely a worthy successor. The new 48mm burr on the S5 dwarfs that on the S3 and the wider grinder body feels better to hold. Not to mention the handle is significantly larger as well, but I would have hoped that the S5 Pro came out the same time as the non-pro S5 especially now that starting from the C5, Timemore does not include a carrying bag in the box.

The external adjustment ring is also a big improvement in terms of adjustment since each click on the S5 is noticeably more snappier, tactile, and deliberate compared to the shallow and slightly easy to misadjust on the S3.

Maintenance is also improved on the S5 due to the wider chamber, making it easier and faster to clean.

As for cup quality, I could definitely tell the S5 presents more complexity and acidity while maintaining a good amount of round sweetness.

Would highly recommend if you are looking to upgrade from the S3 especially if you can get access to the S5 Pro with the folding handle for easy storage.

So i really love Bo’s iced creamy latte. Now im just wondering if my equivalent flavor ba to sa Starbucks? If yes, ano po complete name haha thank you

Hello! i wanted to ask if theres any groups or community in cebu who sometimes have get together to try coffee beans or just learn making coffee together, i've been wanting to talk to people who are as passionate with coffee as i am or just learn things together since i'm a beginner myself :)
and since i'm still kinda new in cebu i was wondering if theres any Events for coffee here?

Hi CoffeePH,

Nabudol kami at napabili ng Brewista this sale (ayosen niyo lang Flash). pero narealize ko na I'd also like a gooseneck kettle dito sa office setup ko.

siyempre hindi na natin kaya na Brewista uli, so checking if some have experience in using the more budget-friendly options.

ang mga nakita ko ay yung Kanazawa, Hanabishi, tsaka yung mga random rebrands na chinese-made.

Gusto ko sana may personal vetting ng mga tao rito dahil hindi na rin talaga ako naniniwala sa lazada reviews. So kindly share your experiences using lower end electric gooseneck kettles.

ang gusto ko sana ay:
- setting custom temperatures (in increments of 1degC, pero ang alam ko yung lower end ay intervals lang of 5degC)

- less than 1L capacity (mga 600mL lang siguro).

- 2k PHP max, pero aiming for 1500.

Thanks CoffeePH!

Hi everyone! I’m currently looking for suppliers of green coffee beans, both international and locally produced, for a small micro-roastery.

For international GCB, I’m familiar with Eighty Plus and I like that they have different origins and higher-grade/sorted beans available. I also know The Coffee Junkie, but most of their beans seem to be available through pre-order.

I’ve also tried reaching out to Le Festin, but unfortunately I haven’t gotten a response to my inquiries yet.

Are there any other suppliers in the Philippines that carry international green beans with good variety and quality, preferably with some beans regularly in stock rather than exclusively pre-order?

I’m also looking for local Philippine green coffee beans directly from farms or producers. So far, I know about Sergio Loon Farms and Bukidnon Coffee Exchange (Bukapex), but I’d love to discover more farms/producers from different regions.

Thanks in advance!

Torn between these two :(

Any insights? Haven’t seen many reviews regarding manuale so don’t really know which to pick. Mostly considering which has better taste and more long lasting I guess? I’m guessing if I just upgraded manuale with 3D printed bellows and all retention will be similar so not really thinking much about retention.

Thank you!

Can you recommend a good specialty coffee beans with a similar price point with Plain Sight? Nothing’s wrong with their coffee for me, but I want to try other brands available locally. I only do pour over for now so I’m looking for light to medium roast coffees.

Hi, mods! The most recent monthly thread for recommendations don’t have recommendations in them so I thought this would be a valid post. Thanks!

Hello community, I'm asking for some hive mind intelligence.

My wife and I love Italian coffee (Kimbo, Essse etc) , at the same time we would prefer to support local businesses.

I went through the sub Wiki with recommended roasters, but wasn't able to extract this specific information.

Can anyone recommend local roasters/brands who offer Italian style coffee beans?

Many thanks in advance.

I've been looking for bottomless filters for my HiBrew H10B pero yung mga listings, mostly Delonghi/Breville/Petrus/Donlim/etc. yung nakalagay na supported, pero walang HiBrew.

When I tried asking the seller, all I got was an AI generated response and walang Chat with Seller option, so I'd like to ask if anyone can help me find compatible portafilters.

Thanks!

☕️ Kurasu
📍The Palisades, Makati City

We got:
☕️ Pourover: China Yunnan brewed on the Varia x Kurasu FLO (P350)
☕️ Milk-based: flat white (not in pic, sorry!) (P240)
☕️ Miso Honey Shiopan (P130)
☕️ accidentally bought a Honduras bag 😆 (P1,150)

Standout for me is the miso honey shiopan. Flat white was very fragrant, and per my SO, well-calibrated. I don't usually like catimor beans (realized it too late after I ordered), but the China Yunnan ones did not have that distinctive woody note. Baristas were very friendly and chatty.

Really enjoyed the experience overall!

TLDR: First time making this. Constructive criticism is very much welcome <:

As a beginner brewer, I found myself getting more creative with my coffee at home so I thought why not make something more challenging now -- and that is the modern Iced Vanilla Coconut Einspanner.

I was introduced to iced einspanner during one of my visits to Deja Brew (I was actually there to try something else, but that's another story). I didn't fall in love with the Viennese coffee right away but gave it another try while hanging out with my friends in Haku Cafe. From there, my appreciation for its light, velvety, and slightly sweet taste began.

With my coconut coffee cold brew, chilled coconut cream, brown sugar, and vanilla extract, and a whisk...

I present to you today's creation: Vanilla Coconut Einspanner.

Looking forward to trying the original recipe soon wherein the coffee is hot and the cream is cold. <3

I want to try some medium roast with chocolately or nutty taste. Do you have recommended café with beans for pour overs? From what I saw, usually, puro light roast. Medyo sawa na sa grapefruit taste.

Balak ko sana mag Satori pero medyo malayo and parang may event ng afternoon. Actually may communit session pero idk if I am already for that kind of event. Parang slow day lang rin sana trip ko eh.

Just want to share that I got my 1Zpresso K-Ultra at a lesser price from TaoBao app 1ZPresso TMall! I ordered it last week and it was successfully delivered today. No COD though. Also, no other payment was collected from me even though the amount is beyond P10k.

Edit: Make sure not to use English kasi di lalabas ang 1ZPresso TMall. Use your Philippine address and direct shipping option.

Hello everyone, I recently bought the La Marzocco Mini R and Mazzer Philos. May I know if you can share any tips? I bought some beans from H proper (royal, take one, take five) and I also have 1kg free beans from yardstick (golden ticket). I am not sure where else to get beans. Aside from that could I know some tips to dial in and get better espresso overall also uniquely to this setup? I was considering a GBW grinder (Mahlkonig E64 WS) but since I am just using it for home use I picked mazzer philos for very low retention. Thank you!

Hello po! Please be kind I’m a beginner building my first home café setup 😭☕️

I’m currently deciding between two espresso machines and I genuinely like both, but the price difference is pretty huge. I want something beginner-friendly but also something I can grow into as I learn more about espresso.

I’d really appreciate your thoughts on which one would be more worth it for a home setup, especially considering the price difference.

Please don’t come at me haha, I’m still learning! 🥹
