Drinking a good cup of coffee energizes my day! I bought 500g of Indonesian Robusta coffee roasted bean at the market yesterday. The stall owner assured me that the beans were fresh. I smelt both Arabica and Robusta he sold. This time Robusta smelt better even though Arabica is RM2 more expensive than Robusta. I paid RM15 and divided the roasted bean into 2 sealed plastic bags.
I do not have a coffee grinder. So, I used my blender to blend about 150g. The coffee aroma immediately filled up my small kitchen. In fact the coffee aroma lingered in my kitchen for almost a day.
I do not have a coffee maker as well. I just poured hot water over the robusta coffee powder and stirred with a spoon. Then I filtered with a small filter I use for my cooking. The robusta coffee was very, very good. I have no words to describe the coffee, but it tastes better than the cappuccino at Gusto, Water Front, thatI had on Sunday night which I paid RM7 for a cup. It also beats coffee serve at Olde Station, Old town, Starbucks, Dome, E-West and local coffee shop. Seems that my husband has no better place to bring me for a cup of coffee other than home. :)
I would say one cup of this coffee costs me less than 50 cents. Perhaps I can consider opening up a coffee shop.
