What’s not to like about good coffee? Especially when it’s also FREE! If you’ve been following me, you’ll know how much I love coffee and always craving for it. Somehow, a cup of coffee can make me feel happy and relaxed.
“Coffee is the common man’s gold and like gold, it brings to every man the feeling of luxury and nobility” – Poet Sheikh Ansari Djezeri Hanball Abd-al Kadir

Coffex Coffee is one of the roasters in Klang Valley, so remember to check out their roasted coffee. Drinking coffee requires a vast knowledge too. Look at all the details on the packaging. Every single detail is important! It’s not easy to determine what is good coffee especially if you’re new to this. Luckily, Daniel Liew, the founder of the Barista Guild of Asia is here to the rescue.

During this Coffee Workshop, I learned so much from him. The most interesting part was the personalized guidance from the coffee expert himself about how to correctly utilize manual brewing equipment. He also constantly gives us tips and tricks on how to brew the perfect coffee. For example, you have to rinse your paper coffee filter before using it or the taste of paper will ruin your coffee.

We got to try some freshly brewed light roasted coffee and we’re loving it! Aside from hot coffee, I love cold brewed coffee too, it’s one of the coffee trends these days. The folks from coffee2GO have 3 varieties of them and my preference is veered towards the “cham” version.

And what is coffee without the perfect mug to sip from? The handcrafted mugs from Kaleidos Art Tune would just be the perfect one for me.

I’m eyeing on their Coal Handcrafted Cold Pressed Soap because it’s good to detoxify the skin, leaving it acne-free. Last but not least, let’s discover some coffee art. Oh, not the art that was draw on coffee, but art that was draw WITH coffee by artist Vivian Lees.
