Like Arabica & Robusta from different countries (columbian, Vietnam, Indo...) to try instead of paying a premium! Will it be approximately the same? I saw some small shops under HDB selling them. I'm not a coffee connoisseur, so i dont want to spend unnecessary on brands. Whether is it the same, it is difficult to answer because what is same to you may be miles apart for others. Different coffee lovers have different sense of smell, palate and preference and even brewing methods. Like what you said, you are not a coffee connoisseur so just buy whatever beans that is within your taste and budget. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What contraption will u use to roast it? plan now, but when i retire i got plenty of time to cook heathly unsalted food, and freshly roasted coffee and i already got a bodum french press (sometime i use to make cold brew) , a manual espresso machine (la pavoni) , manual commercial grade coffee bean grinder (pharos) i will use this type to roast. cheap, good and lasting even if rust, cheap to replace https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a230r.1.14.75.76e442dewlV7vH&id=625440724480&ns=1&abbucket=1#detail https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a230r.1.14.164.76e442dewlV7vH&id=574943680155&ns=1&abbucket=1#detail i dont think this i will get. cause hard to get the bean to roast evenly https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a230r.1.14.1.76e442dewlV7vH&id=593439652685&ns=1&abbucket=1#detail my setup is like this my grinder cost me around sgd 420 and i not sure any grinder at the price range or even 1k able to beat it (i brought it when it was 7 or 8 yr ago, not sure about now) but it using 68mm Italian made conical commercial steel grinding titan burr set in short the titan burr head is the same one that are found in the high-end café grinder like Compak K10, it just that they take the most important part of the titan burr head and make it manual and sell much cheaper, so home user like us can enjoy FYI: it 'titan' class cause (68mm and larger is generally considered 'Titan') i even grinder coffee until Turkish coffee cause Turkish requires an extremely fine, powdery, flour-like grind. hope the above got clear enough detail for you Edited March 27, 2021 by The_King Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
