Espresso Lab is the only one charge GST on coffee bean that i know. If not mistake coffee bean is zero-rated item.

I get my bean from antipodean. Cheap & good. Rm25 for 250g package include one free coffee. My last visit is at midvalley antipodean, free french press brewed coffee drinks with a package purchase. Love it

Take away no GST. Dine in im not sure

Bro, you have a Slayer??!!

I don't dream so far la... Just a single group Slayer is good enough ha-ha. But lucky to even get to play with one. They let you pull shots on it?

Well because i am still studying and and staying in hostel, i would like to reduce the amount of stuffs to buy. A coffee grinder will be quite inconvenient because of certain reasons.

Will there be anyway to enjoy better coffee without purchasing a grinder?

Is there any stores that sell pre-grinded coffee?

Daviddoff is rm35 for 100g by exchange rate

It's great to know when the roasting that can guide when to buy! Cheers

in case u all didn't notice. i found this bean shipper promotion are quite a good buy. Roast by Sprezzatura coffee, 3x250g with choices of espresso box for RM88 or filter box for RM98. http://beanshipper.com/collections/coffee-...cts/sprezza-box       

Guys what do you think about this grinder? Good enough to be paired with a Silvia or Oscar?

Looks like a rebadged Cappresso Infinity actually. Supposedly the minimum option for a decent espresso grind (read fine enough)

In your opinion which one would be the bare minimum model that can be obtained locally?

Nice grinder...more interested in the espresso machine next to it though haha
Anyways, good luck with your sales

I took a peek at a site in Germany carrying it and it costs almost RM1.1K !!       
Probably might want to rethink this haha....there's always the Porlex JP30 and slightly higher end ones too like Handground and Lido (also another wallet burner)

hey guys, do any of sifus here experienced trouble with brevile grinder bcg800? maybe i use some stale or hard beans, the main gear wore off, sent to service center, they said not spare parts. (((((

I have problems packing in more than 15gm into the Poemia (53mm) pressurised portafilter. At 15gm it's a full dome already... people say that you are not supposed to hard tamp a pressurised, so how to fit so much grounds?

Furthermore, even at 15gm I seem to get some overextraction/bitterness. When I increase the grind size, I seem to reduce the body. For me, 13gm at the grind setting I use gives a nice balance.

I was hoping to get some advice from people who have been using the Poemia for a while on how to max out the taste. Lately I've been holding the portafilter in the "locked" position until the coffee begins to dribble out, which seems to increase the infusion time by a couple of seconds; however along with the increase in body, a bit of bitterness creeps in (which in a latte/macchiato is well controlled).

Now I'm seriously considering hacking the machine (and thus voiding the warranty) and piece together a PID controller to keep the temperature more consistent throughout the brew cycle. This involves a HUGE learning curve for me, as I have never done that serious an electronics project before.

Poemia & other single boiler pressurized gurus, please advise.
