Chaicoffski, music in your mouth - The new kid in the block

Thanks to the Barista Club Malaysia on Facebook, I got to know this new coffee brewer that was launched very recently in Australia - Chaicoffeeski filter brewer. And for the first time, we Malaysian are one of the first that gets to try new product- thanks to Cuppa! From my brief research on the net, it seems that Chaicoffski company is quite new and this is the first product they launch under this name.

Out of the box, you get 3 things - The cup, the filter and the lid. Of course, it also comes with a colorful manual that gives a very basic idea how this brewer works.

Chaicoffski advertises their coffee as :

-Faster, hotter, simpler
-Uses 35% less coffee than other brewer" 

-The high-tech Turbo filter is made from 304 stainless steel 60 micron mesh and does not require filter paper. 
-The flavor of the brew is clean and never bitter. 
-The Chaicoffski brewer is the fastest, simplest and most economical available.


While I don't fully agree with everything that was advertised, Chaicoffski is indeed a very good brewer. It is simple to use, makes a decent cup of coffee, and with less sludge as compared to conventional French Press. On top of that, it is also particularly durable, made from stainless steel material. No breakable parts like glass vessel on the French Press.

After using it for a week, I found it is preferably to be used as how you would use a plunger coffee maker. Chaicoffski recommends using an espresso grind, 30 seconds steep, and 35% less coffee. However, I found there is too much sludge and the taste is not as good. Using it with a coarse ground size and 4 minute steep, you will get a rich bodied drink with all the flavors, just like French Press. This is especially good to showcase the character of your very expensive single-origin coffee. Plus, you will get less sludge and it is less hassle to clean, unlike the French Press.

Put the ground coffee and add hot water - Don't forget to stir to fully saturate the grind!

After 4 minutes, lift up the filter and let the remaining coffee drips through

Caution: Hot drink! And it stays that way for quite some time thanks to the double walled mug

The amount of sludge from using espresso grind:

As a conclusion, the Chaicoffski brewer is a simple, tasty and convenient coffee brewer. And the price is very affordable too at RM59 on sales (Normal: RM69) at Cuppa's website. So grab it now while it lasts! Oh, don't hesitate to go straight to their office in Ampang (Megan Embassy) too. They have a nice little showroom there with tons of unique coffee equipment there. /please



p/s: Throughout the post, did you realize that Chaicoffeeski actually stands for Chai - Tea, Coff - Coffee, and Ski. The name makes more sense now right? /wahaha
