In this week's coffee, we visited a special cafe, located at the heart of KL. This cafe, which is situated in a grocer, within the shopping mall, is called Plan B Roaster. Remember I mentioned that this cafe is special? I will tell you why. It is very rare for a cafe inside a shopping mall to have its own roaster. They are using Probat roaster, German built. And that damn roaster actually cost around RM100k!

I ordered a single origin ristretto shot, made with their bean of the week, Hoduras Wilmer Montolla Marcala, from Marcala region, Honduras. Okay, I did a brief profiling on the espresso, without actually referring their tasting description on the board.
Overall, the coffee tastes sweet, with considerable acidity (slightly fruity). The aroma is syrup-like, with a hint of molasses (I am trying my best here, lol). Generally, the body of the coffee is light, with great bright taste, and quite short aftertaste, quite a refreshing cup. The crema looks good too. With RM8 a shot, that's the best price you can get for a cup of freshly roasted beans. But well, we personally think that the hand crafted brew coffee (french press & dripper) is a bit overpriced, costing RM20 per cup.
