Might be a good skill training LOL.
See if you tweak to a finer grind or dose higher, can you recover some of it?

bro, wouldn't it be a bit of a waste, blending stale beans with your lintong?!
the results will be neither here nor there, rite?! ... besides cold brew, maybe ice coffee would be a reasonable way to finish the stale beans?

Still need the one with pointed spout. Would RM30 be cheap enough?

Did anyone drink coffee 2/3 times per day? I'm just curious.

Anyone here uses the moka pot for their coffee? I usually use this+a hand frother.
I seldom get crema regardless of the coffee powder size. Is this usual?

How you brew it? What about the grind size?
Never buy beans from retail cafe, if you wanted to buy from them. Ask them first whether the beans is fresh or not and when the stock actually arrive.

For VBM check out www.cuppa.com.my but all those coffee machine is overpriced in Malaysia and also coffee grinder.
Opening a cafe?
There's a risk for buying machines from overseas and it is not cheap. What if something happened to the machine? No one is going to fix it for you, there is not spare part in Malaysia everything will be send from China, means it doesn't worth the price.
If possible you can get from Thailand/Singapore nearer and sometimes cheaper and less worried about warranty.

Hello There,
any kind soul here who knows where to get Vibiemme / Expobar coffee machine in Malaysia?
I'm also looking for Welhome ZD-15 grinder but still hesitating to get from Taobao.

Any advice? Thanks!

1:0.5 ratio.. doesn't make sense.

Where to get K3? With reasonable price base on exchange rate. U mean compak right?
Someone give me quotation 3.5k. That is 1.5k over priced. It would be better i use that 1.5k get air ticket go for holidays in Australia & bought in back at the same time...

There's a singaporean seller selling me his second compak k8 fresh for 950SGD.
Used 2 years in a coffee shop, serviced and kept in store room waiting to sell away.

Yea, that machine cost about 1.6k usd.. in exchange about 2.4k SGD when that guy first purchased.

And yea the oscar is cheaper in Malaysia, but not really a good machine. Get the breville double boiler is better.

a double boiler with concerns with it's steam power?!? .. in that case, i wouldn't put the word "fantastic" about the double boiler on the same sentence with it's doubtful steam power.. don't you know this is what a double boiler is for? (1 for brewing and 1 for steaming?).. of course, the breville's boiler is very puny small in size to be considered "serious" for consistency.. despite it's swanky chassis design..

all in all, entry or otherwise.. it all boils down to how many cups are you extracting before the machine needs to buffer in order to be consistent..

fantastic?!?... no and far off.. no offense, it's just eye-candy, lots of electronics an a dumbass way to spend money..

let me understand you correctly.. are you saying that a double boiler if not for the purpose of brewing and steaming independently(at the same time)?

I'm selling my BES920 Breville (Cranberry). Bought it a year ago in Melbourne.
Reason for selling: Upgraded to Rocket.

PM for details.

Cheers!

Often in Melbourne due to work. Been eyeing them for quite some time. They had a sale, AUD2,799.00 for a Giotto premium v3. HX. (Who wouldn't want an R58 but moolah is needed for other things 😅😅😅).

It was a war between Bezzera and Rocket. Rocket won.

any guys bought it from espressocoffeeshop.com before? am looking around for the bz13
