That bodum grinder is made in China.
Today most lower end product are made in China
If u paying usd$1-2k u wouldn't want it made in China

maybe can scout around for used machines.. or fund crowd sourcing projects
I have high expectations and be cheap at the same time... lucky my budget 250 too just that its USD not RM and I find myself a MDF.
will take my awhile to find the extra $$ to go for HG one, those baby hard to find used. priced high too for a used.

Wealthy man, I am poor cannot afford hg one or pimp my machine.

Maybe in 2017 or 2018 then will see my hg one.

If they were to use 2014 or 2015 beans from lavazza, I doubt maintaining brew temp is a deal breaker.


Btw what are you doing to pimp your machine? I hope to visit salvotore and see what can be done to pimp my machine if I find the spare cash lol. Day dreaming

No point talking to dude who has a head in the sand.
Taobao no taobao that's beside the point, don't understand why the called on bias. Dude may choke drinking espresso.

Argument from Dude is your logic is flawed, doing it for years doesn't mean u know it or doing it correctly. Your tongue can discern the taste does not mean others do. Your home barista skills cannot be compared to barista attending competition. Dude been to event tasted and is happy with the drink. End of day, it's his drink made with 2014/2015 lavazza beans ship from Italy to China to msia. Let's enjoy our own latte or espresso.

Education can be found online, want something more scientific use coffee refractometer suggested for a WBC world champion. Other WBC champion suggest keeping cool portafilter enhance taste of a certain coffee. Good cafe using stale beans - good is often define differently. Starbucks very good to the mass lol.

Btw just had my maui grown coffee roast lava blend - dark roast, highly recommended for espresso but I find it too bitter. Their anniversary blend and moka beans far better. Dark roast will try chemex and see how tmr

The sales of E61 are going up, more stores in the region selling such machines.

Home barista a dying trend? Hmm not doing HX but using pour over == home barista trend, more sales of HX and places offering brewing with E62 == dying trend of home barista. Yes perception and opinion don't matter. Interesting observation

My spouse love the clean taste from chemex.

Well by induction home barista == compatitive level barista who makes coffee at home?

I call myself king of my home, cleaner, caregiver, cook , gardener etc. lol I no skill don't even wanna make latte art.

Been using the bleach ones so far, circle paper? I thought all square?

It's ok but a lot of work todo it every time after you grind

Trying stuff from a new company

Quite a bit of coffee
Enjoy!

Got this at LAX

I thought u making 4 cups a day. All single shot?
250gm is right.
I am consuming like 3 double shot a day today. 12 oz per week on avg

Well SCAA does not mean any at all, an individual associated with it doesn't means something.

Kickstarted has program with some SCAA lady behind it turn out to be a scam. Buy into the person and the product not the organization one belong to.

Non the less "pure espresso" pretty good reviews online.

I own the one, it has clumping issue but I only paid usd$250 for it. Many usd$500-600 products suffer either from clumping or having to readjust every time one clean. Or adjustment moving around.

Clumping affects taste but to many hard to detect, waste all automatics suffer from that unless u paying more $.

U bought a super jolly if u can return great if not selling it may not be easy. Even mazzer mini suffer from clumping issue

Ppl cannot think logically is sad, again buy into the product not the organization one register or founded.

Policeman who sworn to protect belongs to gov still can be corrupted. Dude who founded a international org can change. In religion too, monk x priest y also can do wrong things produce things with no standard. What makes this org any different they are human.

I show off you jelly too bad. Buy and try doesn't mean I put my life into the product. Many ppl have gone to famous food joint to find food so so. Michelin stars comes and go. Drink less coffee and think more.

Chemex papers removes a lot of oils, papery taste can be remove with rinsing it once with hot water.

Thinner paper works differently

Yes I agree there are pros and cons, let ones tongue decide

What is manual drip? I use pour over (Chemex)
