NESCAFE Gold Blend Barista Machine
[ADV] I love coffee! I drink at least one a day, sometimes more when I have multiple meetings with clients which are at cafes. However drinking coffee outside can be expensive so my morning cuppa is usually one that I make at home. I first started with powdered instant coffee, flirted with 3-in-1 coffees before I decided they were too sweet, progressed to 2-in-1 coffees, before settling on freeze-dried coffee. I did try drip dry coffees however I found it too tedious and hated the cleaning up after. Hence freeze-dried coffee is was for many years as its flavours, … Continue reading NESCAFE Gold Blend Barista Machine

Now 2016 is not without its share of downs as the local economy and political scene is in turmoil (you can read about what … Continue reading Editor’s Note – December 2016

The meet up point for this event was in Amcorp Mall in Petaling Jaya and we boarded busses to head over to the “mystery” venue. After about an hour battling the Thursday evening jam, we finally arrived at … Continue reading Martell NCF Light Up Party
