Long-ish episode alert! A friend and I take the same beans and brew them 2 ways: pour over, and espresso. If you're uneducated in the world of pour over, listen in as my friend gives me a brief walkthrough, and check out our reactions to how much of a difference the brew method can make. The 4:6...

S2E5 - Artisanal Kopi
What happens when you brew specialty beans in a kopi sock? Find out with me on this episode.
-
S2E4 - Recipe for Success
"You mean coffee not just pour water, stir stir meh?" asked the non-existent Incredulous Person. No. It turns out making Real Coffee is a more involved process, and for those so inclined, you can dial in temperatures, brew ratios, and track roast dates to your heart's content. Homeground Coffee...
-
S2E3 - The Coffee Cycle
Lot of cyclists on the roads and pavements these days, but just how bike-friendly is the city? Especially when it comes to bringing (folding) bikes into cafes--is it feasible? This week we ride into Elixir Boutique Roasters to check out the coffee, and the bike-parking situation....

Episode 12 - Cold brew it yourself
One last episode with the current (now old) mic, and it's a quick take on cold brew "instant packets". Should you buy these, or should you DIY? Intro/outro music: "Arcade" by Lakey Inspired (https://soundcloud.com/lakeyinspired)
-
Episode 11 - What is kopi C?
Everything you thought you knew about ordering kopi (or teh) in Singapore has been a lie. Or an innocent mistake. Or this is really much ado about nothing, because here's a whole episode discussing the meaning and origin of the "C" in kopi C! Ang Moh Dan's very helpful post that I mention during...

Episode 10 - The purpose of coffee
Join me for a very different type of episode, where it's not about equipment or varietals or any of that--but it's about GE 2020. I've been thinking about this for some time now, and I hope that you'll find my thoughts aren't complete rubbish... Intro/outro music: "Arcade" by Lakey Inspired...

Episode 7 - Worth it to lim outside?
Friends often ask me: Do you still buy coffee outside? (because they know I brew at home), and Where's a good place to buy coffee? Both questions are about the worthwhile-ness of paying for coffee outside, so I'll tackle both in this episode by calculating the cost of coffee at home. Link to the...

-
Episode 5 - Zhng Your Coffee, part 1
(Re-uploading because the sound quality was appallingly low. Sorry if this throws off anyone's timestamps.) Home espresso can be a great way to bankrupt yourself under normal circumstances; when you're stuck at home, the temptation to splurge can easily get even worse. This 2-parter looks at some...
-
Episode 4: Is coffee chim?
There seems to be a dizzying array of gear to buy, variables to tweak, and techniques to take care of before one can even step into the world of coffee. What if it doesn't have to be quite so complex? What if good coffee should--heaven forbid--be accessible? (Nespresso doesn't count.) Tune into...
-
Episode 3 - Kopi Ping vs Cold Brew
Surely cold brew is a rip-off (especially when we have kopi ping). Or is it? Intro/outro music: "Arcade" by Lakey Inspired (https://soundcloud.com/lakeyinspired)

Episode 2 - Home espresso
Espresso is great! But it's hard to make--or is it? I break down what you'll need, and what it costs (in Singapore) to get started with espresso at home. Intro/outro music: "Arcade" by Lakey Inspired (https://soundcloud.com/lakeyinspired)

Episode 1 - Is kopi really coffee?
Kopi is a style of coffee unique to Singapore, Malaysia, and Indonesia. If you grew up drinking it, of course it's coffee! But after you've been exposed to 'real' coffee (especially abroad), you may start to wonder: is this actually coffee? Dive into the first episode of this coffee podcast from...
