sceadugenga Posted April 16, 2016 Author Share Posted April 16, 2016 We're blessed. I dropped my coffee jug from the perc yesterday, it went off like a bomb and took the ladies half the day to clean up all the bits No coffee loss, I was washing it. It was ready for replacement anyway so I'm really looking forward to the search for a new machine!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randell Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 Looking forward to your report on the new machine. And I total agree with VF that's the way to look at it. Half full Life is to short for anything less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sceadugenga Posted April 17, 2016 Author Share Posted April 17, 2016 I bought a DeLonghi dripper in Robinsons, nothing special, I like my coffee black so I didn't need anything with additional bells and whistles. My companion admired some marvelous looking contraptions at 75,000B a piece but they would be wasted on me. With a full social calendar for the next couple of days, all involving coffee, I probably wont get to try it until mid-week... any more than two cups involves sleepless nights.

sceadugenga Posted April 17, 2016 Author Share Posted April 17, 2016 I quite like the beans in the Royal Project store in Central, very reasonably priced as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sceadugenga Posted August 30, 2017 Author Share Posted August 30, 2017 Came across a new place this weekend just before Mai Suai on 118, large sign up saying King Coffee or something like that. Coffee was first rate, it's also a processor for Doiluang beans. I bought a bag and opened them this morning and was not disappointed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carlos Primeros Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 Never heard of arabica coffee for 70 Baht per kg! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlos Primeros Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 I buy my coffee beans freshly toasted from Redcliff coffee plantation in Chiang Mai. Delivered by EMS two or 3 days after toasting. Their arabica beans are 500 baht per kg and are of superb quality. I buy from them for more than a year now and am very happy with it.

sceadugenga Posted October 1, 2017 Author Share Posted October 1, 2017 I tried the new coffee shop by the still uncompleted overpass on 1211/the Old Chiang Mai Road today. Friendly staff, good coffee, the guy came over and talked to us and said they were one of the families that had broken away from the Doi Chaang Coffee group after it had been taken over by Singha. I found it good enough to buy a bag of beans, 150B for 250gms. Four coffees and two pieces of cake (made on the premises and sampled only in the interests of good reporting) about 330B. No jokes about the name please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
