Coffee

I am craving for cup of hot, nicely brew coffee. Since i am stuck
athere, the only coffee supply i can get my hand on is either
Nescafe in can or once in a blue moon, Starfuck Starbuck.

Decade since i got a taste of really heart warming, simple coffee.
Grandma sure brew a pot of coffee, not too sweet nor bitter for
me every time we balik kampung to visit her.

I am curious why the coffee taste much better than those brew
at home. Both are so called Tenom coffee powder.As mum later
explain, those coffee powder sold at that time was less prone to
adulteration compare to nowadays coffee powder.

Kampung folk selling off their goods that carry certain quality
assurance, things call "ethic" that fading in 21st century.

Heavy ratio of grounded wheat, oat, burned corn for cost cutting
purposes dilute the coffee aroma and add a yucky sour taste in
the present day kopi O.

And they still charge us rm1.20 for a cup of black colored, bitter
taste,but no aroma of coffee that so called "kopi o".

I hope someday I am lucky enough to taste those luxury coffee
such as Kopi Luwak or Jamaica Blue Mountain Coffee.
But nothing beat the simple kopi o from grandma.

A taste that a little boy remembers till now.
