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

any recommended cheap electric grinder below RM100? tired of using hand grinder lol

Getting proper microfoam is one thing.. the taste of the milk is more important. Previously, Magnolia was OK.. but now, I find that it has lost it's sweetness. Farmhouse is still my preferred choice although surprisingly, I recently tried Dutch Lady's Fresh Milk and it was not bad. Price wise, only 20 cents different.. I'd still go back to Farmhouse.

You can get microfoam with almost any milk.. even low fat or skim..

How about Meiji fresh milk? Most cafes are using that and the milk they produce are not bad too !

I read that Breville BES870 online saying that its a good model for home barista. Anyone using this encountering any problems? Am planning to get this for my home

Hi all coffee lovers,

I'm totally new to this coffee machine and never handles any coffee machine before. Me and my wife loves coffee (we only drink coffee during weekends) and would like to get 1 espresso machine for home use. Budget around RM2k-RM3.5k. Have been searching on the net on machines and understanding more about making good coffee etc. Interesting! but still a lot to learn.

So far, I have shortlisted a few machines and hope sifus could advise and comment on the machine.

1) Nuova Simonelli Oscar: RM3,500 (with bundled accessories ie. s/s tamper, 2 s/s pitchers, 2 shot glasses, thermometer & knock box)
Question:
Is this machine suitable for beginner like me?
Which brand/model entry level grinder should I buy? Budget max RM1k.

2) Rancilio Silvia: RM3,450 (standard package)

3) Gaggia Classic: RM2,238 (standard package)

4) WPM KD-210S2 / KD-270 : RM2,599 / RM2,999 (standard package)

5) Breville BES870 : RM3,350 (standard package)
As mentioned just now, I only drink coffee during weekends. On weekdays, very unlikely due to morning got no time, need to rush to work and evening, reached home quite late and avoid coffee afraid later 'sleep standing' due to caffeine.

Base on my my potential drinking frequency, should I pay more for by getting Oscar or Silvia or should I get entry level machine eg. Gaggia Classic/ Evolution or WPM KD-210S2? and then pay slightly more for better grinder eg NS Grinta, Baratza Virtuso etc?

Thanks in advance for any advise, view and comment. Thanks.

Cheers.

Hi, thanks for the reply.

Initially aiming for BES870, but now is pricier with GST, am monitoring and waiting lazada for better deal.

Oscar, got the quote from Dankoff Coffee. Yes, very good price, the cheapest so far. Even amazon and ebay are selling at around USD1,200.

How much you paid for your BES870? from lazada?

Cheers.

hi coffee drinkers
where do you guys get your coffee beans from in kl/ klang valley?
I want freshly roasted coffee beans which are about 1 to 2 weeks old
any recommendations for single/ blends?
when living in Sydney I used to be able to easily get fresh coffee beans almost anywhere

Is it true that the roasting method would also influence the taste profile of the coffee beans?

i.e.
light roast = more origin flavor ?

^ What do you mean by it?

Do you mean to say that some beans will lose its origin flavor
depending on the roast, while others don't?

Or do you mean to say that some beans can only be roasted in a certain way,
else the taste profile is undrinkable?

beside coffeeritual, cuppa and cold storage.does anybody know where else to buy syrups?

i bought shott vanilla syrup from cold storage for rm28.only thing cold storage its not very convenient for me to go.

thats why im asking sifu here 
im new to espresso and the price diffrence make me think the nuovo is better since it is more expensive
