They said the best economic is Tesco coffee. What do you think?

Yap, just normal consumer saying NO to 3in1 coffee.

What's your milk ranking?  Mine...

1. Farmhouse, Pura
2. Magnolia
3. Goodday

I mostly buy Magnolia, once a while Farmhouse or Pura

Need some advice, what is the best roast if I am going to use french press? I only have a humble French Press @ home. I noticed in auresso, can choose either espresso roast or filter roast. Planning to get a blend instead of single origin.

Oh fuck me, I just pulled a 24gram in 24 grams out "ristretto".

It tastes like chocolate.

Anyone here does this some time? This is incredibly wasteful of your beans lol.

Hey guys, how's it going? I just received this today and already cracked the ceramic burrs because of my goddamn fingers.. I've installed the steel burrs back and will give it a go when I have the time..

hi,
I have decided to ditch my hario mini hand grinder after 1.5years which I use mainly for espresso.

Any suggestions? I am still a newbie though

Thanks!

I'd love to move to an electric grinder.
I got a mypressi (portable espresso maker) as a gift
I got stuck with a hand grinder because I was still a student and was moving around often
However, now working, I can spoil myself with a new grinder 
I can allocate maybe around ~rm600 but not more than 1000

Hello everyone.. I'm new here... I only go to local coffee shop yet have never make one... except for kopi o, kopi o ais, kopi suam, kopi ais... and yadda2.. but totally new to this... hehe.. usually what coffee beans that you use? i prefer mild taste, with not too bitter as my tummy can't handle... well... urm... GASSES.. hahahahaha.. oso got minor gastric but i'm addicted to coffee... any suggestion.. thanks so much.. sorry.. coffee noob coming through..

Guys, just moved into new house, getting an expresso machine, budget max RM1000.
Any recommendation?

Did you guys mod it yourself? Got my Gaggia Classic a couple of months ago, and looking to mod it... just that am lacking the equipments. Found a place that charges RM70-ish for the 17mm rachet head, but hoping to loan it from someone.

Very jelly that you could install a PID. A little out of my price range now (unless one is good with Arduino/electronics...).
@ Seijyuro: A lot of folks start with Poemia. Have heard good things about it, and a couple of good folks here started with that. If you're just starting out, go ahead with that. Can always upgrade when you yearn for nicer flavours. I have a thing against Krups... that probably stem from one of their coffee grinders that use *blades* (BLASPHEMOUSSSSSS).

Hi all coffee lovers,

just wanna share my humble set up. 

[attachmentid=5107366]

Espresso machine: 2nd hand Gaggia Classic, pre-phillips model (2005 made!). Owner claimed used less than 10 times. Got the machine in June, dismantled the whole machine, cleaned and found out really in good condition. 
Mods: Swapped with Silvia wand & OPV at 9 bar.

Grinder: Raccea grinder (from Taobao) @ RM380! 60mm SS flat burr! Grinds about 16g in less than 7 sec.
Mods: Removed hopper. removed stepped 'stopper', now on stepless. Changed a better set of tension springs for upper burr carrier, now much firmer, less wobbling. Removed micro switch, now on direct main switch. added aluminium washer at upper burr carrier to cover void area in the chamber thus reduce retention. Retention now at +-0.3g. 'Enhanced' a better chute exit as well as DIY 'doserless' funnel. Mostly plastic materials except, burr and carriers, motor and chamber. I would say, quite heavily modded/ enhanced. So far, very satisfied with the current performance. 

Accessories: Gaggia Bottomless PF. However, really under-utilised as only make 2 cups of drink (single shot each) in most of the time. 

May b thinking of PID the Classic, if got good and reliable source of parts and instructions. Currently on temperature surfing. Results have been good so far, at least too me. 

Enjoy your coffee! 

Started a bag of Nicaragua from Coffea Coffee, RM60 for 200g "fresh" from the shop. Was a gift from friend.

Practically no creama...looks like stale beans...felt so cheated...

Actually from relative... "Friend" shorter to type mah

I no shy ask how much she paid for it so I have a reference point. she asked and was told it was freshly roasted.

While it's not my money...I have to deal with the disappointment everytime I pull a shot for the next 5 days. You can say I was cheated of satisfying pulls

Cannot recover from stale beans bro

No more CO2. No tiger stripes. No crema. The lighter ends high notes all gone.

You could still do reasonable for latte. This has mid end nutmeg...blending it with lintong now...

Where can I get cheap milk pitcher? Thanks

I have sinned...

Started a bag of supermarket coffee...expiry Jan 17...I'm estimating 10 months stale...

I couldn't help myself, the bright orange packaging was too enticing It called for me... I just have to buy it. RM33 per 500g bag.

No crema as expected...but surprisingly flavorful nutty and rich coco, good for latte. Will continue to fine tune tomorrow. Most likely to sample the rest of their range

Good value for money stuff these for latte. Hahaha

Hi guys, sorry if i missed any of the reply before since i'm new here. Just want to ask if there is any shop in penang area that sells good coffee beans/ground coffee? I'm struggling to get good source of coffee. As for now, i only buy brands like boncafe from hypermarket and they don't taste very good for me.

Thanks!
