Madonna from Coffea Coffee


After getting the Espresso machine, we have get coffee beans powders. Oh yea, the machine doesn't come with grinder, so we can only buy coffee powders. Don't worry, most of the cafes that sell coffee beans sure willing to grind for you.

Okay, so here is my first coffee powder from Coffea Coffee. The staff very friendly, he explained their coffees to me and let me try the taste before buying. If you visited Coffea Coffee before, you will probably know they have their own coffee brands which are Madonna and Maestro. Personally, I prefer Madonna taste which is not that strong and it is slightly less acidic than Maestro.
Besides that, the price of it still acceptable, RM55/250g but still not cheap, the staff said can make about 25-30 cups espresso. I tried google, the market price should be between RM40-60/250g.

After that, I would want to try other coffee beans from other cafes, for examples,
1. Artisan
2. Brewmen
3. and many more....

Delonghi EC155 Espresso maker

I got a new toy at home - Espresso maker Delonghi EC155. My sister and I always want to have a coffee machine at home as both of us are coffee lovers. We enjoyed cafe hopping in PJ or KL areas but I'm not a coffee addict. Besides that. there are a lot of studies showing that a cup of coffee a day actually is good to health. yaya, I agreed!

Previously, we used to drink 3-in-1 instant coffee, but actually it wasn't healthy and contained so much sugar per pack. Due to this very good reason, I started to do survey about coffee machines for examples what are the brands available in Malaysia? How much is the price? What are the functions available? I went to Harvey Norman to look around, and search for reasonable price machine. As you know, the machine can up to few thousands ringgit - range from RM888, RM8888 and RM18,888.

Okay. I spotted a RM699! It is within my budget and I can get an espresso machine. Of course I didn't bought on the day and I went home to do more studies about the brand - Delonghi EC155. Google is always the best! After reading all the reviews, I decided to buy it, all good recommendations from the users.

This is the box of the machine

The machine comes with steamer which means you can make your own cuppucino, flatwhite or latte.

I need to learn how to make coffee arts which was listed in my new year's resolution lists.

Frankly speaking, this machine really easy to use. So in love with it.

Whimsical @ Publika



Whimsical Gelateria & Caffe by Cielo Dolci, I wanted to try this cafe for such long time due to lots of good recommendations from bloggers or instagrammers. Therefore, every time my friend asked me to suggest place to go, I would suggest this place but every time was so crowded. But, today, finally I've tried their coffee. It had a very pretty coffee art! My friend said the coffee was too bitter for him, but personally think it's still acceptable.We didn't order any food because it was our second round and just wanted to find a place to chill and chit-chat.

But, it was absolutely disappointed me with their service! The waitress wanted to clear and clean the table after 30 minutes they served the drinks and actually it was still half a cup of coffee left. May be there were many customers waiting outside or anything else. But how can you rush your customers like that, just like wanted to show us, can you get out the shop NOW! Omg, so rude service ever! And they charged 10% service tax for this kind of SERVICE! Great!

It should be great and chill Saturday night, chilling with friends with great coffee. BUT, I would never ever suggest this place to my friends. There are still many cafes around KL and PJ areas with nice and friendly staffs.
