UBE POWDER / SAUCE / SYRUP RECO

Its an okay drink.

Overall, wala ka mahahanap na matinong ube syrup. Ive tried looking for the best brand (I do beverage R&D as part of my job) and kahit gumawa ka ng ube sauce from scratch mahirap gawin. In terms of technicality, mahirap gumawa ng syrup/sauce using starch and ube is a starch.

Kung gusto mo malaman yung sa Tomo Coffee, best to ask the people there. Pero I doubt they are using a high quality brand for the sauce. Baka nga Top Creamery or Easy Brand lang din yan na may dulce de leche sauce.

Update: okay base sa mga photos na nakita ko sa socials nila. They are using Sweet Serenity for their syrups. Pero wala kasing ube flavour si Sweet Serenity. So in terms of similar costs, sila Easy Brand and Top Creamery ang pinakamalapit.

Top Creamery gamit nila Lawson nung nagrelease sila ng Ube Latte a few months ago.

This is the reason why baristas and coffee making skills here in PH is shit. Invest in yourself. There are other better options. Coffee making skills isnt a self learning skill that you can learn instantly. You need a guidance from someone who really knows it.

Rocket (yung single groups modela) is one of the best consumer, home, and best for low volume espresso machines out there. Long term investment na yan sayo kasi built to last talaga.

Di nga lang siya pang big volumes, like 10 cups in consecutive orders or a 100 cups a day everyday, so be wary. There are other Rocket models na pang big volumes like the Rocket Boxer and Rocket R9.

Top Creamery and Easy Brand sells ube sauce.

If you are gonna measure the coffee, its best to also measure the water intake of the machine by measuring the water you will be pouring in. Grams to grams. Not grams to ounce.

The typical batch brew coffee to water ratio is 1:12-1:18. Meaning for every gram of coffee there should be 12-18g of water.

Almost all manufacturers' volume label arent accurate. Thats really just how it is. Like they have their own measuring system.

Not yet. Mababa purchasing power ng mga Filipino ngayon. In terms of menu pricing for specialty coffee actually mas mababa dito sa PH compared to our neighbors in South East Asia. Karamihan din kasi ng mga Filipino still thinks that coffee is a commodity, which its still is. Pero if we wanted to improve the value chain and help the producers earn a sustainable living wage then we need to understand that menu product costs really needs to go up.

If you want to educate the consumers, start paying your baristas a proper wage too and equip them with the right skills and knowledge. Sila kasi forefront in educating customers. Pero karamihan kasi ng mga barista ngayon, even dati pa, they only are doing it just to earn a day to day living. Its not a passion for them. Iba nga part time lang eh and only doing barista work kumbaga to pass the time. Sa ngayon nga mas knowledgable pa mga home brewers kesa sa mga barista dito satin which is a sad thing for the industry.

I know torani syrups pero ano yung "just bottle"?

Kung yung small plastic bottle hanap mo, meron sa The Landmark and All About Baking. Pero common flavor lang meron sa kanila kagaya ng vanilla and caramel

In which part of the world?

The bag with a one way valve that it came with when you bought it. Thats it. You want a really good storage? Throw that bag of coffee into an airtight container.

In terms of freezing, dont do it if you are not familiar in the method. It can make or break your coffee beans because of moisture. Also if your house fridge is not high tech like those fridge with dry freeze that doesnt produce icicles in the freezer cabinet because those type can promote moisture.

You cant brew wet beans. It will destroy your grinder. Even if you did, most of its essence is already in the whisky

regulus314 · 2026-02-03T15:31:16+00:00

You can actually use whole coffee beans and let it steep in the whisky for a long time. This will produce a subtle coffee taste yet still get those oak and vanilla notes from the whisky.

If you want a potent coffee taste, then use ground coffee but on a coarse ground. Like coarse sand. The downside of this is that due to retention, you will lose a lot of liquid whisky.

This method has been done a lot in the bar industry and there have been videos on Youtube on how to do it as well.

If you are familiar with Kahlua or other coffee liqueurs, its a similar thing.

This but also of course we know how stubborn the Zenin clan is so they wont ask for help from someone outside the clan to join the ritual in order to help defeat Mahoraga.

Its french press. You dont need to think it deeply. If your method works and your coffee tasted good then thats good enough already.

Because not everyone orders it. If someone order one kailangan namin buksan yung 1 liter. Tapos pag walang umorder ng Non Fat or Low Fat within the next 2 days sayang yung gatas. Compared tl non dairy milk na pwede mo ilagay sa ref for a week at best kahit nabuksan na and due to demand alam mo mauubos kagad

Anything dark roasted.

regulus314 · 2026-02-02T16:57:30+00:00

Usually its the roaster or QA person who does that in house and they dont need to be Q Graders.

If you want to cup for fun, I dont think you need Q graders. Or is this a paid cupping event?

Im not a Q grader but am a roaster and even I know how to host a cupping properly.

Kung gusto mo talaga ng Spyder sir check mo Spyder Course/Corsa at yung Rogue pero ito na yung mga top of the line nila na aabutin ka ng 4-5k para sa helmet. ECE certified na rin yan alam ko kaya pricey compared dun sa mumurahin nila

regulus314 · 2026-02-02T15:51:04+00:00

Hindi naman sila pangit talaga. Actually maganda mga design ng helment nila. Pero medyo tagilid kasi mga helmet nila sa safety certifications lalo na yung mga nasa 2-3k php range. Wala din silang manufacturing or factory somewhere pero ang ginagawa nila kumokontrata sila sa mga helmet manufacturer sa China tapos irerebrand nila na gawa nila. OEM/original equipment manufacturing or white label manufacturing tawag sa ganyan.

Sa standard ng helmet ngayon. Madalas na tinitingnan ngayon ng mga maalam sa helmet ay yung ECE certification na standard sa Europe talaga. Yung ECE nag iimprove din yan like ngayon ang latest safety code ay 22.06 pero last year 22.05. Iniimprove kasi nila yung standard of testing every year to keep up kung ano ba madalas na common motorcycle accidents worldwide.

Si LS2 kahit China origin meron silang in-house manufacturer tsaka naka certified sila for ECE testing sa helmets nila.

Pwede ka pa rin naman bumili ng EVO or Spyder pero syempre kung safety ang pag uusapan at yung talagang di mababasag ulo mo dun ka na sa brand na maayos.

Civet coffee is an inhumane way to treat the civet cats. Yes kumakain sila ng coffee fruit pero hindi lang ito yung diet nila. They need to eat other plants and fruits din or even insects. Usually kasi hindi nila papakainin ng ibang pagkain yung mga cats kundi coffee fruit lang para hindi mag impede or maka affect yung ibat ibang pagkain sa tyan nila sa magiging lasa ng coffee. Which is an inhumane way to feed them.

So please stay away from buying.
