Coffee basically 2 types.. Our traditional kopitiam type. Lousier beans like liberica + robusta then dark roast with margarine... Best drink with milk.. The kopi o really is disgusting..

Better one is arabica beans which is more expensive and more atas. Usually mid roast.. Got many regions one.. Can taste the difference fruity notes.. Hand pour, espresso machine, moka pot.. Get a good grinder is the more important then good espresso machine. Deep rabbit hole. But interesting.. I try and tried almost all type.. Even dried instant coffee.. Many brands..

Now nothing beats a good grinder grind own coffee beans and hand pour (light roast medium roast good quality beans) using a simple espresso machine.

I always buy this to give away in China cause cheap and appear healthy.

But look at the back in the ingredient list. Is not pure coffee, is mixed with alot of rubbish like margaine, sugar, and other nonsense

Bro... those other ingredients are because when the coffee beans are roast/fried with those... this is very typical of Nanyang Coffee...

Gold Kili ish not bad. Three variants. With sugar, less sugar or no cane sugar added.

Been drinking this brand, since late 1990s. Used to be manufactured at SG, but have moved production to MY. It is a go along during travels.

for malaysia kopi.. there 3 more brands not bad also.... SIN SING (Melaka brand kopi ..arabica mix robusta mix liberica).. cheap and reasonable .... yit foh tenom coffee (pure robusta) from sabah another is train brand coffee (pure robusta)... all i tried before..

so tv brand and sin sing got more nutty flavor which i prefer for milk and kopi o... the rest of the brand i must put condensed milk .. kopi o taste super bitter... that is even when u soak the coffee bag just 3 mins ... find those got individual packing one.. else loose pack one u must drink fast... the kopi hun inside will harder become like a paste after a period of time due to roast with margarine and corn syrup.

for the price of the above about 500 gram / $10 or less i can get pure arabica coffee beans from malaysia lazada or now PDD.... grind them and make coffee..better value for money.

that is because Nanyang coffee is roasted with sugar and margarine which imparts that viscous and heavily caramel taste. Maybe ah tiong dont know but I thought this is common knowledge among local folks

Damn reading this post trigger my kopi addiction

It was added in the past to adulterate to lower cost, and give the robusta a little smoothness to reduce the extremities in bitterness. Coffee has one of the most depth of flavour in ingredients and don't require more enhancement. Robusta was the common crop available many years ago.

But things have already changed.
It's only those low quality hawkers who wanna cut cost still use these kind of carcinogenic rubbish mix with msg, sugar maize adulterated crap.

Toastbox and those chains that use whole beans long don't use these for their "nanyang' kopi, they use arabica mix. So what you pay is what you get. Tiong hoe, Kim Guan and many more use normal beans.

It will be very unfortunate if the common folks assume kopi must be made with such adulterated coffee.

Now I normally buy drip coffee bag, add fresh milk or condensed milk. Used to buy UCC, now changed to Luckin and Kapal Api. About $0.50+ per bag for Luckin. Kapal Api's Luwak blend more expensive a little.

Another drip coffee i quite like is Mon Cafe Kyoto Blend. Sometimes hard to find even in Japan. This one more expensive, maybe $1+ per cup?

Sometimes buy those Luckin liquid capsule, add water can liao. This one around 0.30 to 0.50 per cup I think. This type I dunno healthy bo.

 

[virtualape]

Read the ingredients...some have added additives. Rather you buy coffee grounds and make yourself. Costs a few cents more but healthier....ie spending abit more to save up on medical costs
