Im using WPM ZD-16, cornical burr. It is suitable for budget home barista without compromise quality. I cant tell there different between home made latte (using Oscar & ZD-16) and the latte served at cafe.

It was bought from taobao, rmb 725. Hongleong wise card 10% cash rebate, taobao under groceries, only apply for wise card. Around rm415
Sea freight, asiadaigou.com rm38, small box.
Total paid rm453

deyy... your expensive plan b and espressolab mia beans.. no review one ah?!?  sweat.gif

Lol. Those expensive plan b bean is not that bad after switch to ZD-16. In fact, it may due to grinder matter. Haha. It does not have strong aroma, not my preference.

Espressolab charges GST on bean. It is espresso blend with few origins, balance taste. That time i havent received ZD-16, not fair to comment much. There is other option out with no GST.

RM60 mahal bro. Antipodean 20++ only for 250g only leh.

Is this Plan B we're talking about?

Btw, the latest Frank Laurent opened at Udini Mall is a "roaster". They brought in a huge roaster for display. Donno is for show or has seen any use la. So far I went there ask they say no jual...yet.

Another one is Macallum, who roasts their own stuff, but last I talked to the taukeh he say he sendiri also not cukup use, donno how to sell.

Penang memang is jipet ones.
Yep.

Depressurized will give you an "upgrade", but you'll need to get a good grinder to boot. Since a good grinder is always necessary, you might as well upgrade your grinder first.
*
That rm60/500g is not plan B. Urban cafe. They are not roaster. But from its package, i guess it is roasted by lighthouse. Never ask plan B at queensbay mall before.
Penang does not have Antipodean. it is about cheapest option fresh roast in penang.
I subscribe auresso, 2 weeksly grand central & rubra, the rest of days i took urban cafe bean.

Im happy with my stock oscar performance. As long as it can prodece those addictive perfect shot aroma that on par with cafe coffee, i wont do upgrade. Im not aim for perfection. I may just stick onto current setup until they stop working, then switch to those poisoning machine.

Do u think using timer to switch on this machine will spoil the machine one day? I know it needs vacuum breaker for optimal fuction with timer.

1st thing 1st.. does your zd-16 requires mod or you're good at that #12 setting for espresso? by the way, the zd-16 looks good.. how about a full setup pic there?  thumbup.gif
got an idea as to why certain establishment charges gst on the beans.. perhaps their yearly revenue has hit the rm500k to be a gst enable establishment.. that's why they charge.. same goes to antipodean (but why sweat the small stuff when you go buy those >rm40 beans?!)
pressurized will give you fake crema.. very shiok sendiri one.. it infuses air bubbles onto the espresso crema.. the unpressurized, you better get your grind setting and tamping right, else it'll be kopi o kurang manis..  laugh.gif
bro, how about over to mainland/providence? heard several new gigs at autocity/juru?
if not, travel to ipoh and hunt those freshly roasted "white coffee" beans.. they may not make the best espresso ba, but we're curious..
glad to know kf is still selling highlander.. have you tried antipodean's merdeka coffee yet?
*
I dont know how zd-12 looks inside. It supposes same. The removalable outer static burr ring need some adjustment to make it fine enuf for espresso. But it involve simple step. Remove a locking screw, then turn the outer burr to finer, then put back the locking screw. Can refer to this youtube video for better understanding. I dont know what u mean by modifying it with washer that u mention previously.

Nope. I took from supplier. Jz know that the supplier is nearby my house. Walking distance. Minimal one carton. It wont save much, each liter around 95cent cheaper than tesco twin package price.

Wow, I didn't realize the coffee forum in Lowyat is so happening.
I'm actually a coffee lover from Penang too!. Nice to meet all you coffee enthusiast here smile.gif

I'm still learning up on roasting and tasting but you guys from Penang, if you don't mind being guinea pigs, I do roast more than I'm able to consume so I could sell you guys some too at minimal prices. This way i get to roast more often and with different varieties and build experience but you guys may have to bear with me on the quality haha. PM me if you're brave enough and interested!

Oh, and if anybody's curious, I mess with Aeropress at work with a hario mini and espresso at home with a Gaggia Evo/SM90 grinder.

Have a good day everyone

Mind to tell what kina roaster u use & bean origin?

the washing process for decaf beans are actually quite toxic.. besides, if you're drinking 100% arabica, it's unlikely you get caffeine poisoning so easily.. unless your tolerance for caffeine is very very low (or you've went limit up for the day?)

U scared me a moment. Swiss water process should be non toxic. It does not involve solvent.

I have sensitive heart. I thought i will get tolerance to it after sometimes, but it is still there. Haha. I realized the palpitation comes when i take single perfect shot. Before this my shot inconsistant, now they r getting more consistant, even 100% arabica can cause palpitation.

Im getting siphon & butane burner for fun from taobao. Timemore brand. Air freight. They may arrive this weekend

I dont have single origin with me. I tried with blend. xD
I think i overextracted the ground & then make it Kopi O. I will get single origin to do proper brew when im free.

no idea, I'm very sceptical of the shots pulled by "nice looking" stores, I rather buy the beans and pull em myself.

I should definitely go try it again lol.
*
It is the same bean they use to serve in cafe. I suggest not to try at the cafe. =) Their queensbay barista really brew SHIT. They had changed their bean in July to the current one and they claim they will stick to current blend. Their previous blend is better, stronger than current. This current one i need to adjust my grind slight finer to produce acceptable cup of latte. This blend is not my preferred choice.

agree... whichever calculators you use.. the value of the said 250g will come up to about less than RM20 (after the 1 free cuppa factored in)..

I dont really understand the free cuppa thing. Do u mean they give free drinks when u bought roasted bean from antipodean?

Which of their branch has frequent changed fresh batch of roasted bean? I will be in kl tmr.

Me too purchased merdeka bean just now at atria mall. Looking for espresso blend but roasted date more than a month. Asked for fresher bean, got the Aceh Jakengon, roasted on 3 Aug.

Went to Village grocer and purchased the farmhouse twin pack at RM 16.95! Cheaper than Aeon promo price. smile.gif

I totally forget to ask the roast date. Haha. Im also there Atria this afternoon.

Googled-UHT is ultra-high temperature processing. It is used to produce milk that is not required to be refrigerated. UHT sounds bad choice
