Hi all, I thinking to get a home use coffee machine and grinder, my budget is around Rm2.5k max for both.

Can anyone give some suggestion ?

U would probably want to raise your budget. A good grinder can easily cost RM2.5k by itself, and almost the same for a machine, maybe a lil more.

V2! Let's keep it going

Maybe say...
Poemia - 800
Lelit - 1200

I don't know latest price...but this a start...

Can be cheaper if you go Taobao...

where in JB can get good dark roast beans?

I think any good artisan cafes would have them.

So in your opinion, what would be the minimum initial setup?

Saw others mentioning some china brand grinder. Are they any good? Any recommendation.

lel is starbucks freak consider as coffee kaki

Google reviews of "600N" and balance it against the fact they cost 20% of a European branded grinder.

Also, what's your preferred brewing method? If only espresso using unpressurized portafilter, I would guess your needs are pretty high standard; then maybe not good enough.

Espresso and unpressurised. Trying to get the bare minimum and cheapest for espresso. 20% of 2-3k sounds lovely

4-5k, or maybeu could have a lookmat china brands as suggested. Not to familiar with those.

In general most members here don't treat Starbucks as real coffee. They are more like coffee flavoured syrup/sugar drinks company haha
However you are most welcomed to stay and read and hopefully we will successfully brain wash you over to the dark side

What thermometer do you guys use? Can anyone recommend any?

RM10 thermometer from China gotten off Ebay. A little slow but works well enough for water temps
Are you using it for water or milk?

Welhome/惠家KD-310 is a product rebranded from Sunbean. Is KD310 and Baratza Preciso a good match ?
The problem is they cant be found in local.
Since they are electronic, if I buy from Taobao, will TAX be imposed. I think postage alone also wont be cheap.
And afterward maintenance ? like service, parts change after degeneration? should i add these into consideration ?
