These cafes certainly know how to brew a good cup of
coffee. Nothing can beat a hot cuppa joe in the morning that
perks you up and is made using the finest beans by some of the most experienced
baristas in town. These three places are the best for a cup of coffee and
you'll certainly get your fix.
Artisan Roast aims to educate their customers on the
intricacies of coffe.Winner of the Best Coffee Award at the Time Out KL Food
awards 2012, Artisan Roast certainly knows how to brew a delicious cup of
coffee. Run by coffee expert Michael Wilson from New Zealand, the coffee here is
brewed with pure passion. The beans are roasted once every two weeks and it is in
using single origin beans that sets them apart from commercial coffee joints
who tend to use a house blend. "Single origin beans are a challenge to
work with because they can be extreme in characteristics. It can be difficult
to get the right taste. In roasting our own beans we can create our own flavour
profile," says Wilson.
They aim to educate customers on how to enjoy coffee. Their
cafes have a flow chart that aids you in making the right decision based on how
you like to enjoy your java. “Customers should be open to tasting coffee. A
proper cup will have a balance of acidity, bitterness and sweetness and should
not need sugar,” he says. If you're an amateur coffee drinker go for the latte which
is smooth and creamy. Experts will enjoy the short black which is strong with
just the right amount of bitterness. A unique drink found here is the red latte
which is made with Rooibus, a herbal bush tea. This is a decaf option that
gives you the frothy enjoyment of a latte without the bitter caffeinated zing.

are expertly trained. If there's one spot that has great coffee it'll be the one
that provides barista training, coffee appreciation classes, and various
workshops. Espresso Lab only does coffee a few ways. You can opt for an
espresso shot, espresso with water, or an espresso with milk, ore commonly
known as a latte. You won't find food here other than a few pastries and
biscotti's as their only focus is on the coffee itself.

espresso machine they use a 3-group Synesso Cyncra. Beans come from Brazil, Columbia,
Costa Rica, Panama, Ethiopia,

select the specialty grade of coffee which means only the top 20percent of
coffee produced worldwide. The coffee here is rich and deeply fragrant with a
smoothness that can only come from expertise and brewing at the right
temperature. Lattes here are creamy and frothy with a slight bitter hint. Coffee
can be enjoyed at the little cafe space, taken away at an additional cost, or
they'll even deliver it around the Solaris Dutamas and Publika area.
