Full of Beans, Straits Quay

another coffee place mushroom at Straits Quay proclaiming handcrafted coffee

everything are done manually there starting from grinding

and Penang coffee aficionados can get your quick fix here, or coffee bean supply or even coffee accessories

they have variety of coffee

and since we had syphon coffee at another coffee place

we decided to try their ice drip coffee

this was my first ice drip coffee and barely knew anything about it

there is only limited seating at the place

and you can actually sit at this long table to have a close look at the process of brewing and have some interaction with the barista..i guess the maximum number they can only fix 20 pax at their place though

the top carafe is filled with ice cube

and the total time of processing takes around 8 hours

its certainly long enough to get a cup of cold coffee

and the caffeine of ice drip coffee is 4 times more than the normal coffee brew

this is enough to make me drunk in the sea of coffee

of course its cold but totally different from those ice coffee where you filled with ice cubes to make it cold

at the first sip, it was really bitter enough for me

we decided to add some syrup into it

and one things that pop out of our mine is wine

i guess its due to the long dripping just like fermenting wine

it was a pretty strong coffee and smooth to just go down the throat though it didn't linger very long in my palate

and yes we shared the coffee, i'm practically almost overdose that day

they had macaron on sale too and i saw hisako ogita macaron book which i have been ranting to my friend but i didn't pick it up.not on that day i guess

the owner say, the macaron baker is a self learner in making all the macaron.and since its the macaron craze nowadays, i'm not surprise they decided to put in on the menu

however, taste wise..the macaroon was on the soggy side and the filling for the lemon macaron tasted artificial to me.chocolate was also so so..no comment on the berries since my partners wallop up everything..

i guess ill just stick to the coffee for now

do you need coffee ambassaddor??

and this is definitely the professional look when tasting coffee

my teacher cum barista from Coffee Connection

really impress on the amount of coffee she can consume in a day without getting drunk,nausea or tummy upset

more coffee hunting next

and yes this trip is meant for coffee sipping at one of my fav place; Penang
