Looking at the menu first is always recommended.

How long had it been since you roasted the beans? 

I don't roast them, but bag said 3 weeks ago, i doubt anyone else here roasts beans apart from you

Then they're stale before you grind them.

one small cup of instant coffee

 

Do cafes really provide instant coffee?  As in, they add powder to hot water?

 

I thought most places had at least a small coffee machine.

They put the instant in machine.

Thanks ... as that crossed my mind as I was making my coffee this morning.   Remembering how bad the coffee was at StarCrap, the one and only time I sampled.   Although that was 25+ yrs ago, I've not read anyone say anything good about their coffee from the outlets.

 

It must be the way the outlets make it, as the beans themselves get decent reviews when comparison reviews are done on YT.  @ 16 mins of this vid ... 

 

Definitely agree with Dunkin's coffee, as use to be a favorite of mine at Udon Thani, and the gal always brewed a fresh pot for me.  😉   Although I prefer a darker roast of late.   

 

Don't Yank bash, I'm sure 'yours' is probably better 🙄

 

 

IMO the problem with Starsucks is the bean to water ratio.

 

It tastes like they use three or four beans to make  300 mL of coffee, on the basis the customer is getting plenty of coffee, even if it is tasteless.

So, yesterday I arrived at tuk com too early so walked over Soi Bukhao for a breakfast. Something I never do, usually I have morning beers. I don't look at prices. Any how one small cup of instant coffee was 80 baht. I don't understand the business sense.  Why would you do that?

Because many like you are looking for the next booze in the morning. Who would care about coffee?

So you have discovered the secrets too Elvis?

 

Once you understand that women will find you irresistible after observing a few simple things, you might have to fight the ladies off.  Simply explore the ladies personal, and unique, biorhythms. Similar to biomechanics. Once you have the knowledge; you are king. And not just for a day. Even as a 70 year old, one can have 25 year olds mentally ravaging you. 

 

Of course there are other subtle aspects to interaction. but understanding biorythmn is key to unlocking desires.

 

Professor Pigeon spent 40 years researching women; their biorhythms and their secret desires.

Carry yer own 3 in 1 in yer top pocket. Ask for a cup of hot water. Sit down and mix it yourself. Easy peasy lemon queezy. 

 

Don't have to throw yer money away.

We are talking about coffee, not small traces coffee in a mix of chemicals.

Correct. I seldom go to Starbucks, only if there is no other option. I always tell them to use only 50% of the water quantity in my Americano. With this method the taste is quite ok.

I need a coffee fix. But i'll not be wasting any more than 10 baht on a cup.

 

Most farang couldn't tell the difference between a 10 and a 150 baht cup of coffee.

Doooh, I meant the phrase is lemon SQUEEZY, not Queezy as you put.

But same as with vino. Bht 1000 a bottle or Bht 10,000, tastes the same and gets you pissed.

Bang on the money there Sir.

 

As for wine. I prefer to make my own. Only takes a few hours. Mine taste good, will blow yer head off and cost no more than 70 baht a litre.

 

And it's medicinal.

I do the same, using Nuboon juices. After the juice arrives, it is in my fermenter within 5 minutes.

I was using grape juice, but tried their Apple juice, 2 litres plus 6 of water, Lalvin 8111 yeast, no extra sugar. Shows 10% on my hydrometer and down to SG 000 in a week, drinkable after another 2 weeks.

That is fantastic bro.

 

I actually like fruit, root and fungus mixed wine. I select the ingredients mostly on availability. When the mango is on the tree, I use mango,, etc.

 

I made 20 litres for a Buddha rave a few years ago. There was beautiful carnage, Ladies rolling about on the floor. Guys falling into the pond. They loved it.
