Hi Chang,

Hope you don't mind I ask u some question about philips saeco poemia.

How's the espresso produced by Saeco Poemia and also issit producing good amount of crema?

and does it leak before?

My previous Hitachi HEM-C1 gasket got lubang and start to leak whenever a shot is dialed.

Thinking to get a Saeco Poemia Class.

For bottomless Poemia portafilter, don't know where got sell in Malaysia. but I saw this site got sell, it's from other country.

You can email philips directly.  They will quote you on the spot and tell you the lead time for your order.

Not cheap, last i asked they quoted me RM 82.  I'm also looking for bottomless ones now.

Saeco Poemia user here.

Used it since 10 months ago. No known issues yet.

Very forgiving for noobs like me as the portafilter is pressurized.

It's a very simple machine as it's using presurized portafilter. Not much skills is needed. It does have crema but not as nice as those non-presurized portafilter one. Overall itis a decent espresso machine.
I see~ Philips is selling the one that comes with the machine one right? Any chance they selling the bottomless one?  Haha~
Do update here if u ever found a place selling the bottomless portafilter. Thanks. =)

philips saeco poemia

I also have an eyes on this.

BTW anyone got put coffeemate into coffee? somehow abit feel like with milk kind.

Got my delonghi eco310 from lowyat forum at 599rm.
Mod the portafilter to unpressurized. Using proper tamper and manage to get good crema.

Thanks for sharing with me.

I end up go for Delonghi Icona ECO320B due to the discounted price with 5 years warranty by Kitchen Tech.

So far so good, good espresso pulled but still learning latte art and steam milk.

But still worry that it will leak after few months claimed from some user on Amazon.

Wow..that's cheap..I get it from Kitchen tech for RM 699 + RM 100 for 4 Years extended warranty.

Mind to share how to mod it to unpressurized portafilter? 

5years warranty what to worry?
By then I think u be using rancilio silvia

Wow..that's cheap..I get it from Kitchen tech for RM 699 + RM 100 for 4 Years extended warranty.

U grind ur own coffee? Or buy ground one?

I cut and remove plastic bottom from portafilter. Also remove the nut piece so that bottom is flat for tamping.
Ordering breville filter basket from eBay

Just worry that repair takes very long and no latte to drink 

Haha maybe~ or consider La pavoni manual machinese 

Nice ..but I still dare not cut off the plastic..as I worried it will affect the warranty =x

only breville filter basket suitable for this portafilter?

Btw which tamper youre using?

I grind my own coffee..I'm using China brand hand burr grinder..currently considering getting a Akira steel burr grinder or maybe a portex tall burr grinder..due to china brand burr grinder is inconsistant

Any recommendation for hand burr grinder?

La pavoni? Just stick to well known brand. Easy to get parts

Yes only breville. Basket same size. Using tamper 51mm. Bought mine from cuppa online store. I also bought knock box from them

I own hario skerton. Really exercise the arm every morning grinding 40g. Haha
Now upgrade to baratza encore. Surprise it can grind fine enough for espresso

Actually La pavoni is also a famous brand *I mean other country * or gaggia classic also not bad
Icic...I think will find a bottomless portafilter then get breville basket for it...do you have any idea in Malaysia where to get bottomless portafilter? I also get the the 1 body stainless steel tamper like yours, but need to wait next week only can get it d >< for knock box I didn't get..directly know it on a plate. but soon will get 1 too ~
It's a nice grinder, well~ free oxygen exercise for you and it's good for health..hahahahha I'm exhausted too when grinding the coffee...need alot of energy to turn it. =x hmm..for Automatic Machine still don't want get yet due to it's too pricey..btw..how much you get that?

Skerton suite better for drip/pour over/french press due to its manual nature which is tiring. you could try the electric drill mod to skip the exercise part for fine grind.

Hi, i didn't see any thread on coffee making method. Hence i would like to start one here. Been a addicted to Melbourne coffee since i am back from there. They seriosly having a stong coffee culture there. Love love love their latte. The creama is perfectly there. Espresso in the other hand are an eye opener there.

Proud Mary Angel Wing (Hse blend), Seven seeds single origin - Honduras Finca El Naranjo and Nicaragua Javanica, Highlander Supremo Blend (Hse Blend), Tesco finest Costa Rica (This is ground coffee)
