Coffee Stain by Joseph @ Publika, Solaris Dutamas, Mont Kiara.

After hearing some creative injection in making latte art, soon we made our way to Coffee Stain by Joseph after briefly warming up our tummy at Yama-J.


We actually had quite a hard time to locate this coffee place, due to the unique architecture of Publika building which proved to be quite misleading at times. Nevertheless, we found it eventually after some good 15 mins walking up and down the escalator towards the as fresco shop lots each floor.


The café was decently decorated with the various equipment that were used to brew the coffees, rucksack bags depicting the coffee bean types, chalky-like board listing down the arrays of menu that were offered and some simple artsy graphic displays on the wall.






















Now this reminds me of my lab apparatus back in high school time, lol.

This coffee place was a family business, where the eldest brother was in charge of food preparation in the kitchen, though his mom was a great chef by profession, according to one of the staff, dad helping with order takings while sister preparing the beverage, and latte art with the rest of the team. It was quite a warm sight to see every member working towards the same goal. Good effort guys!





And the coffee blend that they were acquiring inhouse were 100% Arabica, sourced from Guatemala, Papua New Guinea and Columbia. Guess I would not need to worry too much on the caffeine level then :D

Café Latte (MYR 8.50)

One of my must-have whenever patroning any indie café. I enjoyed the smoothness of the coffee and some foamy layer crafted from Nuova Simonelli, which was aromatic, that I could go without any brown sugar so to really enjoy the taste authentically. If you able to see the coffee rim around the cup upon finishing it, you would know they were of good quality coffee beans.

Iced Chocolate with 3D Art (MYR 15)

For the sake of satisfying the curiosity regarding the famously said 3D Latte Art, soon we called for the Iced Chocolate (MYR 10) with 3D art request at additional charge of (MYR 5).




Time for art session :)

That time, they had just reverted to only creating the 3D latte on cold chocolate only, compared to previously where they had done it on hot coffee beverages. If given the choice, I would prefer the latter as I think latte art pairs better with coffee; just like its namesake, Latte.

After some light catching up session over the cuppa, we soon called it a day and headed home with some inspiration; to carry out one coffee project soon. So stay tuned!

Cheers!
