in that case.. sgt obvious.. at this price range, you'd wanna be friendly with "made in china" dude..
unless some long lost rich unker of yours pass down a macap m4 or a ridiculously huge caimano to you.. what are your odds? 

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

Save more money n buy an electric grinder. I had used other brand hand grinder for about 1 month then gave up. Hand sore to make more than 1 cup per day. Mine hand grinder the step is quite big for fineness.

Once you get your electric grinder, you'll want to get a time machine and go back to the past and punch yourself repeatedly at the face.

Quite a bit of coffee
Enjoy!

Got this at LAX

Will get this antipodean this weekend & try. Prefer strong nutty dark cocoa profile. Should i get its espresso blend dark roast? By refer to its website

Do you get to choose the beans that you'll be getting? I'm currently subscribing to blaq coffee and the only downside is I can't choose what I'll be getting. And yours looks slightly cheaper. 

Dear All,

   Anyone here use manual drip technique to brew coffee? I wanna ask, does anyone tried between paper filter and stainless steel filter? My concern that stainless steel filter may not offer fine filtering cause coffee residue leak thru. on the other hand, i would prefer to go green, reduce using paper. 

   Anyone can enlighten me on this?

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)

what is too long? so many suggestion on time

this suggest 17gm no more than 3mins

~2mins


40gm ~2min


kone filter design - didn't know size, pattern etc taken in consideration

Maybe just grind size, will take time and coffee to get it right

seriously thou... of all the cheap non-blade grinders in taobao.. this is one you should've avoided like a plague..
they're definitely better than the blades.. there're better burr grinders at taobao without burning a hole in your pocket.. 

but you definitely got a better buy as compared to getting this same siizzt in m'sia.. spotted some sellers selling this similar-caliber grinder at both m'sia barista championship 2015 and cafe m'sia 2015.. can you imagine they're offering this same siizzt for approx RM500?!?!? 

these are example of how local sellers gave a bad impression of china products..
it's predatory selling and really pity and empathize those noob buyers who hardly do any reading/research/homework..
if it's not for it's predatory pricing, it does have it's fair value if one were to buy it directly from taobao themselves..

RM699 for a non-akira, loud as fuark, inconsistent and static crazy grinder..?


here a real bummer.. RM2,599 for a ~2-bar steam espresso machine?!?!


dude must be proud of a once-owned eupa madness for RM2,499.. imagine he can trade-in for an oscar and hardly need to do a contra?


so please be careful at purchasing stuff on something as niche as specialty coffee gears.. these pics were taken from a online selling portal in m'sia.. they're not the exception ba
