I’m pretty sure ther are coffee shops there already so wishing you all the best on your visit!

I’m visiting San Jose in Nueva Ecjia over the next few weeks. Is there somewhere I can sample the results of your training? I’m leaving my machine at home and assumed I’d just be without, so I was very happy to see your post. Thank you!

I’m still looking for the pictures of the first batch, I’ll upload them as soon as I find them. Now for your question, there’s no rule I know of that says you can’t interchange the terms “overflowing” and “bottomless” between coffee and iced tea. I think it just sounds better if you use “bottomless” for iced tea than overflowing. For coffee, I might use the word “refillable” instead of “overflowing”. If coffee you serve is hot then adding “overflowing” doesn’t sound right, if you know what I mean .

There are more topics regarding home roasting on that site, so you might want to browse around while you’re there.

Now for the pictures, it’s 103MB all in all. I’ll send them through email, but are you sure you don’t want them posted here?

Am one of the NPC employees who attended a recent training by Maya kitchen.

I thought I would be able to see any posted pictures of that event but cant find any. Remember that our group went ecstatic during the training , we learned a lot on how to make the Espresso (voila!) and with other mixes that blend with it . I love most is the Caramel Machiatto (cant wait for yet another cup). And the Frenchpress portion was exciting too. We will be buying for our home use.

I also have a question. Why i s it that we use the word overflowing when referring to Coffee and bottomless to Tea? Havent heard interchanging the word. Please enlighten us, just curious.

Kindly post the pictures.

Thanks.

I thought I would be able to see posted pictures of the event at this site, but cant find any. I was with the group which went berseck during the training. I know our group rated your training a high 5! We learned so much on how to make the Espresso(voila!) and the other mixes that goes with it. What I liked most was the Caramel Machiatto ( cant wait to have another round of cup).

I also have a question, why do we always say overflowing when we are reffering to Coffee and bottomless to Tea? – Havent heard the other way around. Please enlighten, just curious.

Thanks.

Now that you’ve mentioned it, kapeng barako’s bold taste might actually be great for blended drinks. The coffee taste won’t easily get drowned in the other sweet ingredients!

I’ll check out the branch near us and tell you if they have the new line of drinks already.

Thanks again for the input! That was sort of a revelation for me.

here in lipa city or their main branch, they already have new lines of coffee, bot Hot and cold, as well as ice blended coffee & ice blended cream. my personal favorites are Hot Chocolate Truffle Perfezza Coffee, Ice Blended Strawberries and Cream, Ice Blended Mixed Berry and Cream & Ice Blended Mocha Celleto Coffee. i really like cold coffees and their coffee still have that strong coffee taste even if its an ice blended coffee.
i’m not sure if they already have the new lines available in their branches.

but what’s lacking are great food that will go well with their coffees. minsan kasi gutom na ako, wala ako makain, so instead of going in cafe de lipa, fast food chain n lng ako.

now that starbucks here in lipa, i hope lipeños will realize after some time that barako coffee’s better.
