I have the Kone. If you can get your hands on a Kinto filter, it works the same and cheaper. One thing for sure, stainless steel filters will always produce a cup with more body, coffee oils, and sediments. You can reduce the sediments from the way you pour using the Chemex.

Nope, this is the one I meant:

There's a review on HB:

Thanks for the link. They're a bit mysterious about their prices: "M4 is below 3K" was all they would say. "Come visit us". Their M4 seems to be doser version. Aren't home users supposed to abhor dosers? Waste of coffee, it seems. Anyways, will have to visit sometime.

From all my reading, I thought Mazzer had a better reputation than Macap? Maybe I'm mistaken.

Hi, patryn33

That was the impression i got from the reviews that I read, cos on some of them, you need to fill the whole doser with grinds before you can dose your single or double shot. For us who make one or two drinks, that would waste the rest of the doser contents.

Hi all,
I am looking for super automatic espresso machine for my own office with the capacity of ~40 staff.
Any supplier or contact that I can find preferably in Penang ?

As this machine is not handle and operated by professional barrista, I expect the supplier to perform the maintenance and support in case of breakdown.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the inputs ... will try to contact them for more information

Thanks for the great insight. After hearing what you have said and the inputs from others including reasons nub reading on it as much as I can, I think I am probably better off looking at the anfim, compak and maybe fiorenzagato.

One of the reason of not looking at the K30 is because it is a 64mm burr which I deem (perhaps wrongly) to be similar in outcome with my current La Cimbali Jr. The forum in Londinium has a lot to say about bigger flat burrs (80mm and above) hence my interest in the Hg one.
Will check out the K30 air nevertheless.
Air cool tech is nice to have for a home setting. I am more interested in the grinder being able to perform exceptionally well, single-dosing, quiet operation and easy. Perhaps too much to ask 😅. Thanks!

Reason why I'm looking for the 71mm Mazzer burrs is due to grind consistency and performance. It's smaller than my current burrs, but the outcome is the same.. And it grinds faster. This is due to the the smaller circumference that the burrs need to travel which results in a smaller area for the beans to be funneled through.

It grinds faster = less revolutions

I'm happy with my current burrs' consistency, but would like to try the 71mm which also provides the same level of consistency, with a speed boost. I wonder if the ones not bead blasted are performing differently from the ones that was sold by the HG guys initially.

I need to get the burr collar for the 71mm first before mounting in the regular 71mm Robur burrs

I'm still looking, have yet to ask Paul. Have you managed to get the HG One already?

I dont think there is 20% duty.

U need to consult shipping agent. There is way to escape 6% GST. U can try asiadaigou.com.  Rm38 small box, or rm50/0.1 m3. For electronic items, shipment via sea is better, safer, cheaper, but it takes longer time, few weeks.

Hi guys, I am currently into making my own coffee to fill my free time during the weekends.

Saw a couple of basic machines like Delongi that looked pretty decent. Wondering if there is any recommendation for anything around 1k region? Don't really feel like blowing a hole in my wallet 1st as I might be very busy the next coming month and the machine would somewhat sit in my room until year end

Ah cool.

Am not too fussed about getting things locally thou.

Saw a Gaggia that looks to be within my budget.

Any local stores that carries such stuffs other than large retail outlet?

Would like to see the product 1st hand before pulling the trigger.

Thanks

Yup, it does affect insurance. After u ship items few more times via sea, u will realize it is unnecessary to worry. Sea is much safer than air freight. U can add the agent wechat or watsapp, 代运，or 代购。they are happy to assist u. Asiadaigou is one of those agent offer sea freight, allow small box minimal shipment.

Oh.

I'm in KL definitely.

If any of you are looking for freshly roasted bean shipped directly to your doorstep, there's a new bean shipper in town - http://beanshipper.com/

It takes beans from well-known local roasters.

@chiahau: i'm letting go of my gaggia classic. 3-4 months light use, with extra stuff. if you're interested, just drop me a pm. (unsure if this is allowed; will remove if it isn't)

oh i see, there is the diff eh between pressurized n depressurized?? hmm i might have to check it out on youtube, thanks!

The house consumes 48 grams per day (father two shots, me four shots)

So it's kinda expensive whenever I restock.
At 26.50 fresh, I'm jealous as fuck. I'm seriously beginning to consider home roasting and just buying the green beans off from Sitigun (of course, considering begging him to at this point).
