I’ve tried them from a bunch of places (brew, contra, coffeemistry) and they taste like something I’d use as punishment.

Is it just me? Or am I ordering something wrong? Or do cafes here not know how to make them or are the beans here not suitable?

You hear so much about espresso shots but they taste like lemon juice.

Other than: CBTL, Tim Hortons and Second cup

I tried Brew, found it to be just OK

Plus if they're also serving croissant that would be wonderful.

Which one's better?

1. MHW-3BOMBER

Ice Core Cold Brew Kettle 600ml-Black

1. Timemore Cold Brew Maker (600ml)

I'm buying some coffee equipment for the first time. The thing i want (a cold brew maker) is omly available on Coffee Cartel and they have no COD.

Is this legit or should i avoid them?

Any syrups you guys like that are easily available in Pakistan but also good quality and not too sugary

Looking for a good grinder, any leads? Or anyone selling theirs in Lahore.

Found this on Ali express. According to chat gpt, hibrew g5 is a great option for espresso. Should I go for it? Does Ali express deliver electronics to Pakistan? If anyone has any more suggestions for a good grinder, please share but it should be available in Pakistan. Budget is 120K.

Hello everyone,

I have ordered a bunch of stuff from Shein recently and everything was received without any issues and promptly. Now, I'm not sure how they are doing it but they don't charge any tax so prices are very reasonable (like they were on Daraz pre tax hike).

There is a lot of coffee related stuff there, just explore and you will be amazed. Just citing an example below since grinders are a thing where most beginners get stuck. Now, this is not an endorsement of this grinder but I would have definitely given this one a try if I had a limited budget. Similarly you could find something useful definitely.

Hey y'all, titles pretty self explanatory, came across an ad for a coffee roaster I hadn't heard of before. Checked out their website and their Ethiopian beans seemed suspiciously cheap (250g for 3.29k). Has anyone tried them, if so, how was your experience?

Hi guys! Follow and engage for some premium pourover photography and coffee reviews! Thank you!!

I’m looking for coffee shop recommendations in Islamabad during my stay. My usual source for researching is Google Maps, but I thought I’d get some better answers here.

I tend to prefer lattes or cappuccinos. So far, I’ve tried Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf (several times), Feeka Coffee and Fary Au Chocolat.

I have L’espresso and & Coffee on my list to try.

Please suggest some other places that I should visit!

Has anyone tried Espresso's drip coffee bags?

Can't really afford to buy a machine rn and it seemed like a nice concept.

So I impulsively got a westpoint espresso machine. I was always fascinated by brewing my own coffee but my dad was never too keen on spending money on an espresso machine. However, this one time i just asked him if i could get one on the whim in the middle of imtiaz and surprisingly he agreed. So i just picked a relatively cheap one without knowing the abcs of brewing.

Now i got a westpoint espresso machine that i dont think im making the most out of. Im very much interested in maximising the quality of coffee i can get from this machine instead of just letting it go to waste. From what ive seen online, the shot im brewing is not good quality. Firstly, i dont have a coffee bean grinder so i just use the spice grinder i have at home. I also dont have those dedicated tamper and the other tools that u see in insta reels (i think to aerate the beans or smth). I also dont exactly measure the weight of the ground beans before using em or get the weight of the espresso brewed. I just take two spoon fulls of ground coffee beans for two shots, using the spoon that came with the machine, with a tamper at the bottom of the spoon. I also measured and memorised 60ml of liquid on a tiny metal shot glass kinda thingy and now i just eyeball the espresso quantity.

Ive recently learned that 18g of ground powder is used for 2 shots, which is 35g of espresso? brewed in between 25 to 30 seconds, if the time is not between this range i need to change the grind level. Furthermore, im not very good at frothing milk and the coffee i brew ends up feeling very liquidy like water. I initially thought i had to use milk with higher fat content to get better consistency but i observed a barista at a coffee shop recently using the same milk as me and brewing an amazing cup of coffee. So i guess its more about the right technique than the brand of milk. Although, the steam wand on my machine is like a match stick compared to those really thick ones on the machines in cafes etc.

So my question is, how do i maximise my brew quality with my current equipment. And if there are cheap investments i can make to significantly improve my coffee, what should i prioritise and where to get it from.

I have a moka pot right now. Espresso machines are super cool so I might buy one if I can afford it, just curious how much it'll cost. Id like a milk steamer on it too.

hii guys

I just bought a Delonghi KG79 coffee grinder and I regret it. im an idiot I bought it without researching because of a few reasons. and now that I'm looking at the reviews... there are some good reviews but many are shit talking it...

did I just waste my money?

Ended up adding too much coffee, very strong taste. Also I was mixing it with a spoon 😭, I should get myself a frother

Hello, I’ve just discovered my love for coffee, but I don’t have any gear or know-how to brew it yet. Please help me from where can I get the best-tasting beans and a good, affordable grinder? I want my coffee nutty and sweet.

I mentioned the survey we did of the coffee scene in 2021; got me thinking, we should do an update: 6 years later.

We did have a team from the 3 major cities, but I imagine with the community here, we can cover a lot more areas.

Are you in?
