sceadugenga Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 I had a cup of coffee in one of the cafes on Singhaklai Road on the weekend and bought a packet of beans to take out as I was running on empty at home. It was a classic roast, twice the price of the standard, but I'm a two cups a day man so it immediately became my home coffee of choice. Unfortunately it was their last pack and I'll need to find a new source if they don't replace it. Doi Luang Classic Peaberry. Anyone seen it around?

grumpyoldman Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 You might ping a TV member "steelpulse' out of the Phuket Forum. He orders kilos of beans from an outfit in Chiang Mai, sorry to say I can't recall the name of the company and it's not the big Doi Chung it's a smaller grower.

sceadugenga Posted October 14, 2015 Author Share Posted October 14, 2015 Thanks, the name suggest it comes from the Doi Mae Fa Luang or Doi Tung area north of Chiang Rai, I may take a run up there when I run out if I cannot find a more local source.

PattayaClub Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 My favorite coffee is Landoy Coffee, delivered fresh roasted right to my door (by post). I have been buying form them for over five years now and I have been completely satisfied with the quality and reliability. I have referred many people to Landoy and they now have a fairly strong mail order business through word of mouth alone. Give them a try, you will not be disappointed, and will never buy stale coffee in a shop again. I love my morning coffee. If you want to read a little coffee essay, see the PDF.

PattayaClub Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 https://www.doitung.com/en/peaberry_coffee_beans_dark_roast_-p-15.html I used to drink DoiTung. It's great coffee! But I looked at the link. Do you see the problem? It's up to 1,600 baht a kilogram! I love good coffee, and I suppose if you have more money than you know what to do with, the DoiTng is a good bet. But after I found Landoy, I found it to be every bit as delicious as the DoiTung and I get it delivered to my door fresh roasted at one-fourth the cost. I go through about a kg every ten days or so. The DoiTung would cost me 4,800 baht/month, while the Landoy costs less than 1,200 for the same amount and same quality. And, by the way, the DoiTung price is with shipping NOT included.

sceadugenga Posted October 16, 2015 Author Share Posted October 16, 2015 A kilo every ten days would have me bouncing off the walls like a squash ball, caffeine tolerant my system is not. I've just come back from Doi Chaang Coffee after two cups of their Americano and I know it's gonna be a late night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sceadugenga Posted October 27, 2015 Author Share Posted October 27, 2015 I was in the Royal Project store yesterday and noticed Arabica Coffee beans for 315B for 500gms. Irresistible at that price, I'm just sampling a cup now and it's very drinkable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villagefarang Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 I am somewhat embarrassed to admit I don’t know how much I spend for a kilo of coffee beans. I buy smaller bags of whole beans at Doi Chaang but haven’t bothered to calculate the per kilo price. I do pay 105 baht for a small double cappuccino at Starbucks, maybe once or twice each week. Friends sometimes give me small bags of Coffee as gifts from as far away as New Zealand. It is nice to try different kinds of coffee from different places but I am not sure I really have a favorite or worry much about the price.

sceadugenga Posted November 13, 2015 Author Share Posted November 13, 2015 I was quite pleased with my home roasting efforts this year so when I happened to be in the Canary Lodge Cafe last week and saw the girl roasting a new supply I bought a kilo of green beans for the surprising low price of 200B. Now all I need is the house to myself to do a bit of roasting.... the smell is not appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sceadugenga Posted November 13, 2015 Author Share Posted November 13, 2015 It's mainly pot luck Gary but I get better with practice. I just heat them in a heavy frypan until they turn black, usually not evenly though. I then often blend with some cheaper beans I bought that may be too strong for my taste, the home roasted beans are usually very mild. I like somewhere in between.

Ah okay interesting, I thought you might have yourself a small roasting oven, but that obviously works fine for you. From what I've seen on youtube, I was intrigued how the process for the flavour can be very time (& heat) criticlal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sceadugenga Posted November 13, 2015 Author Share Posted November 13, 2015 I really cannot see the point of doing it with coffee beans so cheap and available virtually on our doorstep and when i did the last lot said I wouldn't be bothered again. But there I was and there they were. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sceadugenga Posted April 14, 2016 Author Share Posted April 14, 2016 I had an ATM transaction to do today so made the 15km run at 6.30am to avoid the street festivities. Checked out the 7/11 next door and was surprised to see a small coffee bar. One perfectly acceptable Americano... 30B She snapped a shot of liquid sugar into before I could protest but a little extra energy at that hour doesn't go astray.
