Ya, highlander is from singapore. The first package i open is costa rica. Strong aroma & taste. Good crema. Im not good at describe the bean profile. Haha.

Thanks for ur suggestion arbold cycling. I dont know they do sell bean. Urban coffee that u tried is old one in brownish bag or new white & long bag? Old one i also dont like.

I plan to get a simple coffee roasting machine call quest M3, rm 5400, shipping fees 85 usd via EMS from taiwan. How much custom tax? GST? Can avoid those tax if i travel to taiwan & bring along check in flight?
Whats the comment on quest m3? Other better roaster at similar price range?

BN is planning to implement GST on coffee bean.. We r paying for the hole that 1MDB digged. Should put the one responsibility inside that hole instead

Missed out the date n charges?

If u guys looking for home roaster at penang mainland to pick up some fresh bean yourself can PM me. d33pbluez intro me one

This is call subscription, already exist. Unlikey cheap coz need to count in postage fees & they also wana make profit. Unless u found a non profit making home roaster

Becareful if u wana repacking branded roaster, coz u need their authorization if u wana resell it to public. U might end up receive legal letter. Haha. Just a friendly reminder.

the reason is u dint treat them ur coffee. if u treat them they will understand why u do it at middle of night. haha

Not available in the groceries. F&N wont simply let u know their supplier location d unless u request under ur registered company & it also depends on luck ur local supplier willing to sell u not

His oscar 2 MYR 3999 looks quite reasonable. Dont know am i right? Giving u guys option place to get oscar 2. Agree with him, it is good value machine.
My older version oscar bought ~ 2 years ago MYR 3600. I still ❤️ it 😂

My iced brew DIY method. 😂

What i do is use ikea small glass containers, it is called korken jar, i hv 6 of them, each size 7cm diameter x 7cm height, 4 oz. i measure weight of the bean n keep inside each container. I pour the bean into hopper only when i wana brew coffee. Im not at home, dont hv photo. I shared what i found on internet.

They r small & cute. Looks nice to put them beside ur grinder or coffee machine

If ur budget is tight. Can look into Welhome grinder. I used to hv zd-16 (bought from taobao), cheap. But it is stepped adjustment for finess & small cornical burr. In the end u may end up upgrade to stepless grinder. I later upgraded to stepless mazzer Super jolly manual model (also bought from taobao)

Ur location?
If u r lucky & found a non profit making home roaster

Due to your limit budget, can survey welhome grinder to get bang for your buck.


Welhome WPM ZD-12 Conical Burr Coffee Grinder via Lazada
http://www.lazada.com.my/welhome-wpm-zd-12...r-20603238.html

U can also visit Dankoff coffee to survey, local retailer.

Cheapest is still taobao if u know how to buy it via sea freight.

Dont buy KG89 for espresso. Haha. The grind fineness step is quite big & too coarse for espresso. I owned one b4, modified with washer to make it to grind finer but sold it coz it still cant meet the fineness step i want. It will choke if grind is too fine post modify

I owned welhome ZD-13 & used it for sometimes until upgrade to mazzer super jolly. Welhome grinder is step grinder. I dont know ur budget can get china stepless grinder or not. But welhome grinder is good enough for pressurized portafilter espresso machine until u upgrade to non pressurized or proper good espresso machine to meet the expectation of commercial type quality coffee drinks.

If u buy from dankoff, local retailer, price is more expensive, mayb under their company warranty. Im not sure. U need to check with them.
Usually, good review items rarely break down. Sometimes i dont even care about warranty coz the taobao price is twice more cheaper than retail price. I can afford to get another new one with no loss if it is really failed.

People say two holes r better than 4, better steaming power. Ur oscar u bought it new or 2nd hand? Thought possible previous owner modified it, block the holes. It can be unscrewed n removable
