Hi, I am a self-proclaimed Malaysian Coffee Rockstar. My aim is to share more of my coffee knowledge to the coffee lovers out there. And I do hope through my efforts that more people will learn to appreciate and start drinking good coffee.

On the last FHM, I was glad to be at the Barista Coffee counter to meet Jack Hanna in person. For you who do not know, Jack was the 2007 World Latte Champion. Jack not only won with his signature design but, in a very impressive display of talent, Jack poured identical rosettas behind his back.

Jack Hanna is showing Barista Coffee barista the right way of milk texturing. Wish I also get a class from the master himself!

Lastly, a picture with the master barista himself. See how tall Jack is!

I tasted Jack’s espresso and cappuccino. The espresso was sweet with a nice velvety chocolate mouthfeel. The coffee bean is Jack’s own blend and I believe it is just a 2 or 3 bean blend as the objective is to get a sweet espresso and blend well with the milk.

If you were also at FHM this year or in 2007 and get to taste the coffee by Jack, what do you think of? Leave me your thoughts on the comments section.
