QUOTE(GrumpyCat @ Oct 27 2014, 08:35 PM) 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  Daiso one works exactly the same, and is cheaper.

interesting project already close to 200% backed! an option for those looking at Nespresso or Saeco. Not for someone looking at HX https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/236195...aristas-anytime

Just wondering, do you guys recommend getting grinder/machine from TaoBao? Was browsing around and came across Baratza there. A bit worry about the authenticity though...

contemplating between the Porlex Tall Hand Grinder and Baratza Virtuoso... i know... price wise its RM230 vs SGD399
i'll be making at most 2 cups a day (with my wife) using a french press, so not sure whether its advisable to spend on a mechanical grinder?
disregarding the price, anyone has experience with both of them? and what's the grind quality like?

Because ive been longing for a cup of black coffee. If u drink regular Pop with caffeine and no issue, I am afraid decaf wouldnt help. There are many chemicals in coffee, removing them may not get the coffee flavour

I got it used from a cafe place. if U are concern with stale coffee, it does waste a little coffee when U grind as U need to throw out some when U start the day or between each dose. it requires more work on cleaning. for a us$250 deal I am ok with the trouble, I hope to score this one day.. maybe years later http://hg-one.com/store/
