Back at Nylon Coffee Roasters

A while back, I did make a post about having found my perfect cup of coffee. I've since gotten somewhat used to coffee from Nylon Coffee Roasters, buying the beans online and getting them posted to my place, and brewing with the Kalita wave pour over kit that I bought from them a while back. Coffee making has become a routine morning activity–weigh, grind, pour, enjoy. The only connection I had with Nylon was the beans, which isn't exactly what I loved about the name before I got into the habit of ordering beans online. (Don't get me wrong, their coffee is still my favourite!) A lot about the whole cafe thing isn't totally about the caffeinated beverage, but the experience you get from being at the place.

What then, did I enjoy about Nylon? 

To start off, I gotta say that Dennis and Jia Min are really friendly folks who love coffee! They are passionate about what they are doing and will not hold back in telling you about what they love about coffee, and they won't mind listening to your coffee story too! Because they are the ones who sourced for the coffees at the very farms they are grown and harvested, they are able to tell you everything about the coffee that you have to know. I think it's possible to spend a few hours at the shop talking to them about coffee! It is rare in this day and age that the product itself actually passed through so few hands throughout the whole process before reaching us, the consumers. Each cup of coffee is patiently brewed with plenty of love, made with coffee roasted by the people who sourced for the beans and served it to you. 

A bag of beans, and a 5oz white for today.

I went back to Nylon today and not sure if they remembered me–the one who used to go there every other morning for a 5-ounce or double-seven. They have expanded about a month ago and the place is much more spacious than it used to be. A couple of new friendly faces behind the espresso machine and Dennis was there as well. Placed my order, had my coffee, and managed a good little chat with the new people. It was time well spent there this morning on my way to school for class.

As I was about to leave, Dennis asked, 'Are you going to school after this?' It made me realise again what I loved about this place.
