Interested in this cappuccino coffee maker mr Yakun has? - By: Ebenezer

What cappuccino coffee maker mr yakun has, would you be interested in? In fact, this title probably meant nothing to you, unless of course you happened to reside in South-East-Asia for some time.

If you happened to be in any parts of South-East-Asia, you would know that yakun is one of the biggest local coffee chains in this region. While, I did not physically compared its outlets to that of Starbucks, if I am able to see it in most of the shopping malls, even the ones that are without starbucks, I guess it should be bigger than starbucks in this region.

Anyway, one of the most popular beverages that this chain serves is known as kopi tarik and it is this coffee that bears a close resemblance to the cappuccino that we know of. There is no exact measurement on the make up of this beverage.

Some people prepare it using filled milk, while some uses a combination of filled and condensed milk. Of course, no one uses espresso but a type of drip coffee that uses a coffee sock as a filter.

Before moving on to the preparation method, I would like to highlight a little on the beans. The beans are roasted locally and I must admit that the way that it is roasted is very different from how one would do it in the west.

Using a blend of Arabica and Robusta, while roasting, generous dose of margarine and sugar are added into the blend to enhance the taste profile. So, the blend is incredibly sweet after the roast.

After that, it is further sweetened with sugar or condensed milk as the drink is being prepared. The condensed milk and sugar is scoop into the coffee cup while the coffee goes through a few rounds using the coffee socks.

Before the last few rounds, the coffee is poured into the cup, and then it is being "pulled" a couple of time by transferring it from one cup to another. The primary reason for doing this is to cool down the drink, the end result is you would end out with very nice looking froth.

The "pulling" might have change the taste of this coffee. The taste that you get from this type of coffee is very smooth and while sweet, it does not cloud the taste of the coffee. Although it is not as intense as an espresso, for those looking for a new type of coffee drink, this is an interesting alternative to check out.

The taste and look of this kopi tarik varies from outlets to outlets and is very dependent on the person preparing it, and yakun quality is one of the best in the market.

So, imagine you just drink this great cappuccino like coffee from the outlet, wouldn't you want to replicate this coffee at home? But, however, this cappuccino coffee maker Mr Yakun has, is one which you can never owned.

It is a skill set and some trade secret that they would never divulge, so there is no way you can replicate it at home. However, it does make going to the outlet and drinking it more exclusive right?
