Hey coffee fan's another website with different brews

Ok, here is another website that has useful info about different brews, and the processes. 

Enjoy! 
Again, please remember to comment, I would love to hear your coffee shop stories.

Busan- Juwa Coffee

This place, oh this place! Highly recommend this place. We saw it out the window on the tour bus as we got off at the UN Cemetery and Korea Cultural Center.  As we walked in we saw, Psalm 23 and there was a Bible opened in Korean that was there for you to read as you drink your coffee.  

Also here we discovered Dutch Coffee. 

I ordered a iced drip coffee, and Dan ordered an iced drip coffee with milk. Both were amazing, took a long time to make, that's how we know they were going to be good. Wow, was it ever good. the boldness of the taste, but also had a bitter taste. It was amazing to drink this as we watched him roasting beans in the glass room inside the main room. What a pleasure to be in a place that honoured the Lord in all they did.  We stayed there about an hour and realized we needed to eat lunch so we finished up quick. There was no food there, just drinks. But, they are so well worth the trip. 




This was the sign over the door as you leave.

The Way of the Righteous and the Wicked

Blessed is the man[a]
    who walks not in the counsel of the wicked,
nor stands in the way of sinners,
    nor sits in the seat of scoffers;
but his delight is in the law[b] of the Lord,
    and on his law he meditates day and night.
He is like a tree
    planted by streams of water
that yields its fruit in its season,
    and its leaf does not wither.
In all that he does, he prospers.
The wicked are not so,
    but are like chaff that the wind drives away.
Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment,
    nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous;
for the Lord knows the way of the righteous,
    but the way of the wicked will perish.




The Lord Is My Shepherd

A Psalm of David.

23 The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
    He makes me lie down in green pastures.
He leads me beside still waters.[a]
    He restores my soul.
He leads me in paths of righteousness[b]
    for his name's sake.
Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,[c]
    I will fear no evil,
for you are with me;
    your rod and your staff,
    they comfort me.
You prepare a table before me
    in the presence of my enemies;
you anoint my head with oil;
    my cup overflows.
Surely[d] goodness and mercy[e] shall follow me
    all the days of my life,
and I shall dwell[f] in the house of the Lord
    forever.[g]



Behind the glass wall was the roasting room and design centre.

Here is the Bible opened to Psalm 23.



 
Small but mighty menu




I would recommend this place to anyone. I know you will walk out and be changed. 

12 out of 10 beans.




#1 Story Coffee House.

Today we had to go into the Pyeongtaek to get a few things, so we decided to stop off at a place we had seen thru the window of Cafe Muse.  I had envisioned a Hello Kitty atmosphere type of place but was pleasantly surprised at what we saw. It was clean, cozy and inviting.

The host didn't speak any English, but we just pointed at the menu. To our surprise a basket of bread, and a package of pizza snacks came to the table.   A while later our drinks came. They were great as usual.







 
Our surprise that came!

 A mirror, photo time! 






 The hostess station is a big cup like stand.

The menu comes as a big picture frame. Fun!





I ordered something (just pointed) and Dan ordered a hot chocolate.
Both were super good, and tasty.





 A booth in the back of the cafe
 Dan took a photo in the bathroom.

 They had a call button as well, that you just pushed when you were ready.


So my review, 8 out of 10 coffee beans is my rating.

directions: if you get to Cafe muse, its directly across the street.

Do you like Premixed coffee? or brewed? espresso? americano? Latte?

Check out this video I found on why Korean's like the Maxim premixed coffee packets? 
What do you like better?


Please comment-

Cafe Muse

Hidden in the 2nd floor of this Pyeongtaek building is a little gem of a place called Cafe Muse. It boasts of Italian espresso and drinks. From the outside it looks like fun, and you can see glimpses of a relaxing atmosphere, but when you wander up nothing can prepare you for what you see.
Entering the second floor you are confronted right away with a glass door golden entrance. When you open the doors, you see Gold as far as the eye can see. Everything is in gold.










This place as not at all like Ann's dark and dingy place, but boasts of a rich and lush atmosphere. 
A gentleman approaches you and leads you to a little cubbie of which is hidden behind lush gold fabric. Inside you see 2 cute little couches, and a dark wooden table. There are no other decorations on the wall, just gold everywhere. A difference from all the other places that have the little decor items everywhere. 



The workers leaves you with a menu, (none of it is in English) and then when you are ready you push a button, just like at Ann's. We looked over the menu and tried to translate it using our translate, but to no avail, didn't work. So we pushed the button and asked for a cappuccino one hot and one cold. 




The flavor was rich and lush. Cinnamon was coated the top of them, with great foam. I had to get up and go to the front as ask for some sugar, in which they gave me a shot of liquid sugar syrup. That hit the spot, and did the trick. Ah, so we sat back, relaxed and started to dream about youth ministry. 
God really met us there as we dreamed, and we are excited about where He is leading. Woot woot! 

Overall this place was very neat, and clean. Even the bathrooms were golden with a common wash area. Very relaxing, and very quiet. 

9 out of 10 coffee beans!!! 

Directions: 
standing away from the Pyeongtaek trains station hold up right hand, walk down the ring finger street. Take the first left (at the art box store) and you will see it straight ahead on the right. Yellow sign. 
Enjoy!!!
