I have always liked the thought of spending time in a cosy cafe, with a book in
hand if I’m alone or with friends; conversations over coffee and
cakes. In reality though, that rarely happens. As with life, it’s
easier to get lost with daily things to the point that you just don’t make time
anymore.
I actually don’t remember the last time I was in a cafe, enjoying a leisure
drink with a catch up session with my friends. It was probably more than months
ago. So, when a friend of mine, Jessica asked if I would like to attend a special event at a
cafe, I immediately agreed. What I didn’t know what that the cafe actually
specialises in coffee making, something that I have yet to acquire a taste for.
I wouldn’t say I hate coffee, but rather I don’t know how to appreciate it. The
ones I had before were bitter, and one packet of sugar is not enough but two
packets is too much. I didn’t know the how and the what to drinking coffee. At
COSANS
Coffee, they had their master coffee specialist brew us some coffee
as he explains the methods of brewing coffee; aero press and pour
over (pictured above).
So much goes into brewing the coffee, because only the right method can bring us
the best flavours of the coffee. Even the type of beans used, and the grinding
method of the beans play an important role. It was a short sharing session, but
it pretty much sounded like rocket science to me. The sips of coffee I had
though was pretty much unique, and it was something I never quite tasted before.
I didn’t know coffee could taste like that. First, sour and then with a bitter
sweet lingering after taste. This I believe was something I would drink. I
didn’t like coffee before because bitter was all I tasted.

So, while coffee is somewhat alien to me, I love frappe with a
passion. And I only take my frappe with whipped cream, thank you very
much. I don’t frequent cafes that often but the ones I head to, besides
Starbucks don’t serve caramel frappe. It was a pleasant surprise that they have
Caramel Frappe here. To put it simply, I love this version more than Starbucks
because the coffee wasn’t too overwhelming bitter. But it could definitely use a
more generous serving of caramel and whipped cream. And now, here are some of
the other drinks that the bloggers had too.

Overall, I really loved the cosy setting of the place. There was
something about the coffee that I liked but can’t describe much, because as you
know I am no coffee expert at all. Come to think of it, I would love to learn
more about coffee. In terms of how to tell a good coffee and what makes it good.
Any coffee specialist wants to ‘date’ me out? If you’re a cute barista, that’ll
be a plus point too. Haha. And, come to think of it, I am still waiting for
COSANs to make specialized a coffee drink after me, since I won their grand
prize that night. But the call never came.
Maybe, they secretly found out that I don’t take coffee and my
tolerance to coffee is just two shot of espresso before my head feels like a
helium balloon. Oh, wells. What I enjoy most on that night was the company of
bloggers. I met the sweetest, most amazing bunch of bloggers that night and I do
hope to see them again.

Till next time,
