The blind tumbler comes with it.. The titanium burrs took 80-100 revolutions to complete 18g at first.. But now it's fully seasoned, I only take around 30-40 revolutions to complete. Maybe around 27 secs at most.. Drop the grind into the PF, tamp and extract. I also got the PF cradle from the guys..

Those burrs.. Based on your consumption of only a few shots daily.. Will definitely last for years. If you get the ones with titanium coat, even longer lol. We're looking at around 15 years maybe?

I didn't make the 40 sec shot cuz I've only gotten a chance to try one made with a Slayer.. I want a traditional lever machine to do that.. Sigh.. Need to save up for it..

trad manual level machine? those from La Pavoni isnt that much.. or U looking at something else. I am not familiar with who made these trad manual level besides La Pavoni.

to get your HG-One really need serious savings and timing oh and space.
I need to move to a bigger house, my current place just 2000sq ft and I love toys.. waiting for my sous vide to come.

I got myself an used baratza maestro plus. It was replaced by the Encore. Anyway it costs me around 440 plus shipment. But havent use it because i need to get the step down transformer. So just be prepare to get that too if you get it from the U.S. I'll post more once i actually using it. I could have not honored the ebay deal but that would be bad for me. YOLO

Thanks for your feedback, appreciate that. The price you mentioned above is in RM or USD? If RM440+shipping is kindda cheap. Any plan to sell it? LOL

Thanks man, I've reached out to them via email, hope to hear back from them soon.

Anyway, can someone recommend a good grinder that can grind for French Press/Aeropress/Drip at a very reasonable price? Looking at anything less than 1k. Looking for an option other than Encore and Nivona Cafegrano. Any comments on Gaggia MM Steel and La Pavoni Kube Mill KBM?

Thanks

Got myself a hario slim rm125 per piece and grinds are consistant. Sufficient as i only do 1 cup in the morning and 1 cup back from work.

I didn't know NS own Victoria Arduino! The Black Eagle is a beast! this monster starts at usd$17.5k!
guess this the new official machine for WBC

Dear Sifus,

I wonder if anyone buy anything from www.idrinkcoffee.com
I was looking to buy something on promotion and its definately cheaper than in Malaysia with the shipping and stuff.
But what i am afraid of is that when it reaches malaysia and encounter problem with Malaysia Kastam.
Has anyone encounter any problem buying machine or product from overseas?

I am looking at the Breville Barista Express Espresso Machine 870XL and from the website plus shipping its around RM2.1k.

Thanks and regards.

again, someone iirc mel5582 had pointed out the voltage difference and the need of transformer.
any issues getting local service centers to fix is also a problem.
especially the site u pointed out is operating out of Canada.

Australia u wouldn't have to care about transformer etc

read mel's post. I don't think there will be a problem so long u pay tax! sales tax of 10% of charge and there is a duty rate too. u have to read the customs site, the information presented is way too confusing. maybe best for u to call.

Thank you for your advice
Need to consider other options edi XD

Yup, NS owns VA.. I think Dankoff will be carrying in the Black Eagle.. Roughly about 70-80k ringgit. The weight based extraction is still being tweaked, so the Black Eagles they have now, doesn't have this feature yet.

Thanks man for the feedback. I do have porlex for my FP and Aeropress, and i love it. But as per my previous post, porlex is an excellent choice for grinding a small batch of coffee, but not for multiple cups.

Thanks

Local prices very high
Even usa a price tag of Usd$17k can buy a manual Corolla

I have a Porlex, for espresso grind, it's 2-3 clicks from zero and roughly takes 5 minutes to grind 20g of coffee. That is if you're working out hard while grinding lol. Of course, the courser the grind is, the faster it'll complete..

Hi bro, may i know where did you get the mini grinder?

Hi all,

Where exactly do you find the milk frother in IKEA. I hunted high and low and ended up asking the store assistant on the exact location. She tells me it's out of stock.

But when I checked online, they still have 100+ in stock
