HAND-BREWED COFFEE ||
Learning about coffee is something that I’ve been wanting to do since I was a kid, but barista wasn’t an option then. So here I am today, exploring food places while I explore about coffee. Trying different types of hand-brewed coffee actually changed my perspective towards coffee entirely, so I’ll always respect the brewers that can brew three or more cups at the same time and yet it tastes similar.
How can the water and grind size affect the coffee beans, how extraction happens. Those are all Chemistry and there is always room for improvement because you can never brew the perfect cup of coffee, but your perfect cup (Your favorite).
@brewnbread has always been the place I’ll think of whenever I feel like having filter coffee. There’s no particular reasons to this, but everytime I try their coffee at coffee exhibitions, they never fail to impress. They have got their very own in-house roastery, headed by @jianpua and I’m always looking forward to what they’ve got in store. It’s not my first time in this cafe, and I’ve actually been a low key big fan of their coffee | #joeyyjt

Here’s my recent favourite cup, and I’m very thankful to have the opportunity t try this out. Thank you!!

[詞彙區別] rather than 與 instead of 的用法區別
1. instead of 是介係詞,意思為「代替; 寧願」,instead of 需搭配名詞或動名詞 (ving )。
He chose tea instead of coffee.
他選擇了茶,而不是咖啡。
Instead of punishing George,* his father praised him for his honesty.
George的爸爸不但沒有處罰他,反而還稱讚了George的誠實。
*instead of 放在句首時,記得要打逗號,以區分主句和 instead of 片語。

2. rather than 當連接詞時意為「是…而不是…」
We use “rather than” to give more importance to one thing when two alternatives or preferences are being compared.
當句子中針對2個選項在進行比較的時候,我們常會運用 rather than 這個連結詞去加強其中一件事情本身相對較高的重要性。其前後所連接的兩個字在詞性和結構上必須相稱。
He was happy (adj.) rather than sad (adj.).
他是快樂而非難過的。
She ate her meal slowly (adv.) rather than quickly (adv.).
她慢條斯理地而不是快速地用餐。
Can we come over in the morning (prep. phrase) rather than at night (prep. phrase)?
我們可以早上而不要晚上過去嗎 ?
She wants to be a professor (n.) rather than a high school teacher (n.).
她想要成為的是一位教授,而非一位高中老師。
✰✰✰✰✰✰✰✰✰✰
3. 另一個常見的用法是would rather...than...,指「寧可…而不願….」,此處的rather than也是被當成連接詞作使用,其後接原形動詞。「寧願…而不願…」句型中的rather than通常不會被放在句首,常用的表達方式如下:
I would rather stay home than go out tonight.
我寧願待在家也不要和你出去。
She would rather play the drums than sing.
比起唱歌,她寧願打鼓。
I would rather sing a song than dance on stage.
我寧可唱首歌也不要上台跳舞。
✰✰✰✰✰✰✰✰✰✰
4. rather than 可作「介系詞」用,表「而不是…」之意,其句型為:rather than ( = instead of ) + n / v-ing*
Sometimes John drinks orange juice rather than ( = instead of ) milk.
John 有時候會喝柳橙汁,而不是牛奶。
Tina went to bed early rather than ( = instead of ) staying up late.
Tina 早就上床睡覺了,而沒有熬夜。
*有一些人會認為 rather than 後面接動名詞是非正式用法,請看以下的說明。
✰✰✰✰✰✰✰✰✰✰
※注意
A. 當 rather than 連接兩個字詞做為句子的主詞時,其動詞單複數變化須以第一個字詞為主。
The teacher (subject) rather than the students is (verb) to blame.
該受責備的是老師而不是學生。
B. 當主要子句有動詞,不定詞 (to v.) 時 to 在 rather than 後通常省略,rather than 後直接搭配原形動詞 (此時 rather than 被當成對等連接詞,其前後所連接的兩個字在詞性和結構上必須相稱) 。
He prefers to walk (to v.) rather than (to) run (v.).
他想要用走的,而不是跑的。
C. 當主要子句有動詞,rather than 後可接動詞。此時 rather than 視為連接詞。
He walks (v.) rather than runs (v.) to school every day.
他走路,而不是每天跑到學校的。
主要的動詞是過去式或是過去分詞時,rather than 後可接動名詞 v-ing(此時 rather than 被當成介系詞)。原因是有些人覺得對稱構句如果被應用在這裡並不適當,而另一方面,連接動名詞 (v-ing) 也可有加強敘述事件內容的含義。

Rather than ending the controversy, the results of the study added to it.
Rather than paying the taxi fare, he walked home.
Why didn't you ask for help, rather than trying to do it on your own?
She made students think for themselves, rather than telling them what to think.
Rather than studying Chemistry we decided to study Anatomy
rather than 後可接動名詞 (v-ing)

E. 有些人會認定說 rather than 只能被當成連結詞去做使用,不太會被當成介系詞。但其實在日常生活的應用上並沒有甚麼區別。
我的建議是:當你在考試的時候,如果將 rather than 當成連接詞的話,就必須要確認其前後所連接的兩個詞彙,它們在詞性和結構上必須要相稱;那另一方面,把 instead of 和動名詞及名詞片語搭配使用。當然,你最好還是要能夠去區分這兩種用法在詞意上實際的差異,所以,前述的建議是要幫助各位同學在面對考試的過程中,穩扎穩打,不輕易失分。
F. Rather than 和 instead of 在被當成介系詞使用時,還會有另一項差異: rather than 常被用來表達人物對於句子中,rather than 前方選項的偏好;而 instead of 則是以替代性質的詞意為主。

what is coffee in chemistry 在 Lee Hsien Loong Facebook 的最佳貼文
Always heartened to read of Singaporeans who help others, whether providing food to the poor like Mr Toh, or doing a something extra for our NSmen like Mr Tan (featured in ST http://bit.ly/161Yfod). There are many ways to help, and Mr Toh and Mr Tan do it the way they know best. I hope they inspire others to step out and spread this spirit of generosity. – LHL
Toh Ah Wat is 65 and runs a drinks stall at Ang Mo Kio market. He lives in a four-room flat in Yishun with two of his four children, and his wife. He takes only three days off a month. But his hard work earns him enough to be generous – any one who can’t afford a meal in the area gets a free breakfast from him – a hot drink and kaya and butter toast.
Each morning, I wake up at just before 4am, at the darkest hour. After 30 years, I don’t need light and I don’t need an alarm. Before 4.20, I am out of the flat. I need to be quick because there are people waiting by 5 am. I drive my old Mitshubishi to Ang Mo Kio. I don’t think I actually speed, but get to my stall no later than 4.40 am.
Then it’s like a race against time – boil the water, wipe down the counters, boil the cups. Heat, water, powder, milk, lights. In that order.
I need the water to be a rolling boil, and then when it’s steaming hot, it goes into the powder. This gives the best fragrance.
People tell me the ang mohs, they don’t actually boil the water until it’s 100 degrees, if it’s too hot, something happens to their coffee and it tastes funny. I’ve tried it, but it tastes funny anyway, even if they did it at the “correct temperature”. But our coffee is different you know – we have a different colour, a different flavour, composition and the powder reacts differently.
I have been roasting beans since I was 10. I don’t know chemistry but I know what I am talking about. Our coffee needs the water hot but you need to know when you take stop boiling it – just that little bit over and it’s sour.
I never did well at school, never wanted to stay in school beyond primary four. But I have a nose for coffee and for making tea. Well, tea is the hard one but I can’t tell you my secret. No matter how fast I need to make it, no matter how many people give me their orders, I carry it in my head, I don’t get it wrong.
From 5 am to 7 am, I hardly stop – people going to work, and they need breakfast fast and nourishing. I sell a basic set for $2.20 – two eggs, soft or hard boiled, kaya and of course tea or coffee. This is much cheaper than anywhere else – less than half the price you pay for those in air-con places. It’s nothing fancy but I make sure the coffee and tea are better than the usual. Each day, I sell between 70 to 100 breakfasts.
Then, from 8 am onwards, those who need a free meal come around. It’s nothing organised, just from the neighbourhood. They here, sit down, and I give them breakfast. I started doing this many years ago – because you know, as hawkers we know who are the poor people around us. When they pay, they will take the money out reluctantly, and even a $2 note is folded carefully. Some of us will say, “It’s ok, don’t have to pay.”
But actually, people have their pride. They don’t want to come to us and try for a free meal, and they are afraid because they don’t know which one can afford to give them a meal.
So, last October, I made it more formal. I went to the community centre and told them – look you must be helping lots of people. Anyone who needs a meal you tell them to come to me, and I will give them free breakfast. Just don’t come during peak hours if they can help it.
I told my wife: “We am not serving anything expensive, a few meals, surely we can treat people.” She agreed. She takes the afternoon shift – I get off at 4 pm and she takes over.
So the CC people, they made a simple printout with a picture of the breakfast and gave them to people who need a free meal. Each month, I give out about 50 free breakfasts. I didn’t set a limit for the CC, but this is the number that come to me, on the average.
I used to give eggs automatically, but some of them don’t eat it so it’s wasted – they are old and many have high cholesterol and they explain they cannot eat the eggs. So I only give when they ask for it now.
My wife says some people come in the afternoons for “breakfast” too, but it’s ok, whenever they are hungry, we will feed them. I am hoping that it will catch on among the other hawkers too, but so far, I don’t think anyone else has done it yet. But it doesn’t matter. I keep doing it and someday, others will do the same too, if they can afford it.
I usually try and sneak a lunch in at 12 noon – I eat from all my neighbours stalls, it's a big market but over the years, I’ve tried everything. My favourite now is the fish soup stall.
We all eat from one another – all pay market price but we give each other more ingredients or a special cut of meat. I usually eat within 15 minutes because the lunch crowd comes out right after 12. I have four helpers – two in the morning, and two in the afternoon – all my relatives, or my wife’s family.
After lunch, it’s breakneck speed until 3 pm. Then I can sit down and talk to my friends, drink sugar cane juice, and finally talk to the customers. After a break, I drive home, take two to three hours’ nap and drive back about 9pm. to close up.
I do all the heavy lifting – getting the beer and drinks out from the store to the stall, clear the bottles, do the clean up and close the accounts.
I fetch my wife home, have a simple meal, and we are usually in bed by 11 pm after a bit of TV. We’ve done this together for decades so we have a routine like clockwork. Except for our off days – when we can do whatever we like. We take two full off days a month, and two half days. All of them are spent with our six grand kids – two of my four kids are married.
I don’t bring them any where expensive, or buy them anything, but we have a good time, just driving around Singapore, have meals at zi char stalls, and you know, just giving them a break from their parents! When they see me, it’s like a holiday for them – “Gong gong is here!” and they go wild.The oldest is in secondary school, and the youngest are in primary school.
When they were younger, my kids always offer to help me out at the stall but I forbade them to do so. It’s a hard life and I wanted them to do well, have a better life. Now all of them have good steady jobs, which is the best reward for me.
