Hi guys, good to know this place. I'm currently using my old sunbeam espresso machine I got from Melbourne. It has been 10 yrs and start to leak. I'm also looking for a decent burr grinder and I found this breville bes870. Which has both grinder and machine.

I've searched over myer and good guys (Aussie parkson n send) and they r selling at abt 650. Now, I know it's hard to ask somebody to bring it back. So, can we actually get it in Malaysia? I'm in Kuching. Do u thing they will do courier to Sarawak? Thanks.

froth milk looks so tiny and smooth...
i have a problem where the froth seems fine and smooth when i first pour to my coffee, minutes later i could see bubbles appearing.why?

Could be your espresso is still degassing.. So a swirl and tap with your espresso just like your frothed milk, before pouring the milk in.

Tap your milk after you froth, and before you pour into the espresso. While frothing bigger bubbles get trapped under small fine bubbles on top, hence appearing after it sits and the big bubble pushes its way up.

I've seen harvey norman outlets carrying the BES920 before. Not sure about the BES870 though. Try calling Coffex.

Hye, Im new to the forum.

Just sharing some of my coffee making items.

My Bodum french press.

My CBTL coffee maker and milk frother



Latte that I made using my CBTL coffee machine

Hye, what milk brand are you using ? I used to have that problem with certain milk brand such as the dutch lady ones.  For me, Farm fresh seems to do a great job and it's smooth without the bubbles. It holds well. Different milk brands seems to give different results.

Im using dutch lady full cream.
Now i will try marigold....
If the same thn will go for farm fresh.
I did the latte art,at first all good but big bubbles start coming up which make it look so aweful.

that's the main reason i dont like capsule machine, the froth is just tooo thick!!
I'm not sure whether the milk frother is the same as my friend's nespresso machine (delonghi)

The delonghi frother has a magnetic spring at the bottom to spin the milk and at the same time the wall heat up the milk. When it heat up to a certain temperature, it stop. The problem with the froth is it spin too rigorously and too long so u get this super thick foam.
So if u can lift up the magnetic spring at the bottom (or somehow stop the spinning) when the milk start to heat up, u froth less.
But u need to make sure u put it back half way the milk is heating up so u dont just get a hot milk.

that is how i do it with delonghi nespresso machine. hope it help
