Re: [100attendees] Local coffee/tea (Was:Bringing Medications to Singapore)

[Bill Silverajan <[e-mail]>]

With the exception of some local coffee shops which use instant coffee, 
most local coffee shops offer filtered (except instead of a paper/metal 
filter, it uses a "sock") coffee. However, the exact process varies 
considerably: Some place ground coffee into the sock before pouring 
water in similar to drip-thrus while others first mix the ground coffee 
with hot water before filtering.

There's a fairly informative and accurate article about Singaporean 
kopitiam culture and its history here:
