Boncafe’s 1st coffee presenter “Lalana Kongtoranin” or known as “Doctor Jeab” has represented the “Passion” of making coffee revealing that “making coffee has become different from the past when I thought that all coffees are the same, but I’ve learnt that coffee is attractive; whether how you taste it or make it. I’ve become obsessed with it. At first, I started with cold brews and then I took courses on barista and had so much fun making latte art. I’ve been in contact with the Boncafe team ever since and it became the beginning of myself as their coffee representative. Nowadays, I’m a coffee lover who mostly focus on inhouse usages with Boncafe’s home installation services, teaching techniques, training, and suggest the coffee beans that I would like. I’m always fond of learning and testing new things out especially when I want to know about something, like coffee that began as a curiosity. Coffee is a charming activity that needs attention and tenderness. Someday we can make good coffee while sometimes we need to figure it out. That’s the fun part of it. I believe that there are many coffee lovers here who are also like me.
Apart from the promotions in this year’s Coffee Fest, Boncafe (Thailand) would like to invite everyone to make merits via the auctioning of “Mahlkonig X54”, which all income will be handed to Dr. Jeab’s “Let’s Be Heroes” foundation that aids patients in rural areas along with those that are lack of hospital treatment funds.
