What do you pay for coffee and where to go?
Re: What do you pay for coffee and where to go?t
Lao is used throughout the country in local coffee though you are more likely to see Vietnamese or Cambodian beans. Not sure how much Illy goes for but i do know that they have patent on a packaging procedure that freezes the ageing of the bean which is irelavent as there blend is horrible IMAO.
The Lao you buy here for $7 is reasonable but it has a few things added to it when roasted locally, caramel colour, vanilla and chicory flavouring and inevitably some fat, oil or butter substitute. I have been into a few local roast houses and they all have their own batch of additives, some places cut the coffee as low as %30.
I like the guy in Russian market for a local ice black. there is a vietnamese lady in ourressey who makes a drip cup that tastes exatly as it would in Saigon. Brown does a decent espresso ( and have just opend a Roastery in town). If im going out for coffee in P.P i ussually choose 'Feel Good', one piccilo followed by how every many espressos i decide to stay for.
At home (kampot) I roast my own beans, the way i like them. I use a blend of Arabica and robusta; Viet, Laotion and Modulkiri. At the moment though i have an assortment of South American and African beans so have been spoiling myself.
I am a true coffee snob.

Re: What do you pay for coffee and where to go?
I'd love to know what exactly a 'piccilo' is. I've searched the net and see many references to 'piccilo coffee' and 'piccilo latte' (by which I think they mean a kind of coffee) but can't quite make sense of what it is.one piccilo followed by how every many espressos i decide to stay for.
Re: What do you pay for coffee and where to go?
I think you meant "Piccolo": http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cortado
Basically, this is just an espresso shot to which a little warm/steamed milk is added.

Piccolo Cafe Latte (Piccolo) (Australian) is a single espresso shot in a machiatto glass, which is then filled with steamed milk in the same way as a caffé latte to give a 3 oz drink, with a 1:2 ratio of coffee to steamed milk, and about 0.5 cm of foam on the top.picaroon wrote:I'd love to know what exactly a 'piccilo' is.

Re: What do you pay for coffee and where to go?
Thanks for the clarification.
I did, however, get several google hits for 'piccilo coffee', although it did ask if I meant 'piccolo'.

I am no coffee snob and am bemused by the current terminologies.

Re: What do you pay for coffee and where to go?
I use 3 Corner Kampuchea Double Roast at home, and it's opened my eyes to trying others. Samaky on the corner of 278 and 51 do lavazza for $1.75, which i like before I hit the gym. The Espresso cafe in Kampot is a little bit of Melbourne with good coffee too. I like the 'cafe experience' of taking a book or getting some work done over a couple of coffees at Brown if I feel like splashing out. I know very little about the bean (i'm really a tea drinking Brit!) but this thread is useful!
Re: What do you pay for coffee and where to go?
i mix 3corners green + lavazza black package ($5.80). its ok.

Cheers Gus! You were my 'go to' guy for good food and coffee when in Kampot. Hope you reopen soon! (Like tomorrow, as I'm heading that way!)
