Friendship and coffee


Recommended Posts

I was a bit shocked to buy a bag of mixed nuts to see they were 400 baht when I thought about 360 the week before. Things go up in chunks here! Imported stuff going up likely due to a weaker baht.....

Everything in Thailand goes up.

But the only things that come down,  are drawers. :thumbsup:

Real coffee at least seems to be considered ‘luxury’ here and like everything else in that bracket is overpriced. That store could also be trying it on. Perhaps a cue to switch to a healthier diet… 6-8 cups is excessive, no? ????

I do two and think I’ve gone overboard.

Yes, there are some good local producers at relatively cheap prices. Forget about famous 'brands' and source local if possible.

I am happy with Hillkoff whole beans (Arabica, French roast).

260 B for 500 gr.

In former times I bough Casino brand (BigC) grounded.

Has about doubled over the years.

 

Decaff seems an extra expensive thing here.

More exotic than all the rest?

So back home to check the other stores and Lazada to see if I can save some money.

Lazada has quite a choice of instant decaf.

But as I have zero knowledge about prices I can't tell what is cheap.

The local "Moccona Blue" was OK as a grounded coffee until it vanished from the shelves.

Moccona Instant decaf 100gr 299 B.

Wait for the time, no one will grow coffee beans anymore.

Or for that matter cacao.

The next generation dont want to do, they all want to be influencers on tiktok.

not coffee 

Decaf is short for decaffeinated coffee. It's coffee from coffee beans that have had at least 97% of their caffeine removed. There are many ways to remove caffeine from coffee beans. Most of them include water, organic solvents, or carbon dioxide

I use that - a small "cafetierre" (two small cups) for breakfast and again for "elevenses" using one of those little filters you perch on top of a mug. I rather suspect it works out at the same cost as using instant!

 

Toying with the idea of buying a small drip machine...

This is my preferred as well. Have a double shot french press for brekkie - perfect.

I usually expect that just as high season rolls in each and every year!

Made from coffee beans,

Instant coffee is made from real coffee beans. The soluble and volatile contents of the beans are extracted. Then the water is removed so powder or concentrated soluble coffee powder are left over. It's essentially been dehydrated for our convenience – just add water and you have yourself a brew!

I think you are missing the meaning with the initial comment. The poster meant it lacks all the flavor, quality and aroma that "real" coffee has. However, what you wish to do, is just to prove the exact point and prove your superiority by telling us the facts, right? Facts that almost all of us know, that understood the meaning and sarcasm in the initial post.
