    Reads like you've been hacked by Bob.

  • I would have just drunk it, assuming it didn't cost me any more. I try to take life as it comes, which in Thailand usually turns out to be lukewarm!

    Immediately thought that I would run home and tell ASEANNOW about it. I will go back now and drink the coffee

It's great when someone chimes in from another time zone, possibly another planet?

 

 

But it's a bonus when you get a couple of 'em.

Strange post. Makes no sense but fill the blog

and then you rush back home to post on Asean about your experince? I think you need to get a hobby as clearly you have to much time on your hands

Do you thorw em straigh onto a dish in the microwave like our halfwit..... 

 

... Or do you clean them de-acidise them, then roast them to flavour, before grinding to appropriate level and then either filter, press or pour over... ????

 

I have a suspicion - that Nick Sharter might have consumed a dash of gorilla poop in his time, weird folk like that tend to go Bear Grills from time to time and reach for their inner warrior before trying to exact their inner anger on threads like this - as cathartic as it might be for us, for him it seems it still tastes like shh.....       poop !...  

 

 

 

 

I let the good people of Sumatra Mandailing Estate process the poo beans, they're good at this, if you can, google Sumatra Mandailing Estate, they have the finest Kopi Luwak this side of Medan. Truly delicious coffee, I even get it delivered when I'm in Europe. I found it in a hotel I was staying in Bali, Laguna Resort. Even their normal Sumatra Mandailing coffee is superb.

 

Obviously you do have to then grind the coffee fresh, appropriate grind size, and I like to add a dash of heated milk frothed up and Caramel syrup from Monin, but that's just hedonist me, you can drink it straight of course with sugar and milik, as you like.

Definitely the 3 in 1......at least where we live it's what the Thais drink......it is awful.....but now I can't stop drinking it and what's worse I have never been a coffee drinker........3 in 1 must be 98% sugar, 1% creamer and 1% coffee (flavouring?).

 

   Are you putting on weight ?

   How did they find out that Civets poo makes a good coffee ?

Who was the first person to try to make it that way ?

 The Dutch East India Company (VOC) introduced Arabica coffee cultivation to Java and Sumatra in the late 1600s and early 1700s,but they forbade the native Indonesian farmers from harvesting coffee beans for their own use. However, these workers noticed civets eating ripe coffee cherries and later excreting intact beans to make their own coffee.

Shes pretty , lots of money and also cooks well ?

IF you are going to thrown the word 'genius' around willy nilly, ensure your own gramatical and linguistic ducks are in a row.... 

 

Thus: 

 

"Khǎw kàa-fɛɛ rɔ́ɔn, e-spre-ssoo, sɔ̌ɔng shot, mâi ao nómm há."

 

Khǎw = I'd like / May I have

Kàa-fɛɛ rɔ́ɔn = Hot coffee

E-spre-ssooo = Espresso (similar pronunciation)

Sɔ̌ɔng shot = Double shot

Mâi ao nómm  = No milk

há = Politeness particle ("há" likely covers your gender issues !))

 

 

 

But, its ok if you prefer SangSom on the steps of a 7-11 for your morning hit... 

 

No genius it's pronounced espresso and has no other word for every real Thai person. I bet 90 % of coffee drinkers on this forum can order a coffee in Thailand in Thai.  What a knob

Some smart and fearless Indonesian guy, it was genius, because the civet's digestion system ensures that the beans are devoid of acidity. It's the smoothest coffee you can ever drink. Hence it's the most expensive in the world. Of course limited supply and harsh production measures also affect the price. Some now keep caged civets for this, but wild civet Kopi Luwak is the connaisseur's Kopi of choice.

Yah, I'm pretty sure nobody from the Dutch East India company went through the Civet poo, it must have been a fearless Indonesian genius.

I’d guess that 90 % of the ppl on this forum can’t string a sentence straight n Thai together !!!…

…. so if you are one of the ones who just blurts out ‘espresso’… yup, what a nob !!!

  My opinion was that the O.P was in the wrong to shout at and abuse the shop assistant and the Brit guy was correct in putting him on his place .


Yes, & in doing so you fabricated a load of rubbish accusing the Op the of various things from shouting to being abusive (not everyone behaves like you - no need to project all the time !) 

 

You took on the typical pile-on tactics used by bullies, half-wits, idiots & the week minded….   you were called out for bullying the Op & didn’t like that because the reality of being a pr!ck struck home….

   I did ask him twice whether he raised his voice and he failed to answer and taking into consideration that the person standing behind him heard  him , it's quite certain that he did raise his voice , I.E shouting .

   I also don't like Westerners bullying and shouting at Thai woman and its men like me who step in when your sort bully and abuse woman .

I just went to my coffee shop with my Thai friends. One ordered like this " espresso kop" the other ordered "espresso yen ka" the first got a hot espresso the other an iced espresso.  They did ask the second how much " wan?" She said haa sip. It was over. I then ordered my coffee in Thai and got just what I asked for.  Your 10 word sentence is ridiculous and after I posted to you the second time I didn't realize how unhinged you are with dozens of comments just on this thread. I think you need some help. You can ask for it with three words or ten. 
 

Your sentence is also strange ""Khǎw kàa-fɛɛ rɔ́ɔn, e-spre-ssoo, sɔ̌ɔng shot, mâi ao nómm há" 

 

An espresso is a  shot already.  You need to ask for an " extra" shot " or  " perm shot"  also you want an espresso ( it's already hot) but if you must " espresso roon"   
Saying your sentence is quite long/wrong to a normal Thai. Why are you announcing " khaw fee roon, espresso, soong shot?  It's espresso roon , perm shot..

No it’s not… I can hear the person on the table next to me…. They’re not shouting.

 

Op didn’t answer your questions because they were angled to shoehorn in blame - your agenda was obvious.,

Congratulations, you’ve found out there’s more than enough one way to skin a cat.

 

Perm = Extra…. So if the espresso is already a double shot, then you’ll get an ‘extra shot’ ….. fine if that’s what you want.

You have no idea why the O.P wouldn't answer my question and so you have no right to answer on his behalf
