Thanks. Freshness does affect the flow rate but and for me, roast development is also a big thing. Under developed coffees will run faster than proper, developed coffees. We have a lot of members here that knows their coffee

Mostly imported. Some from UK, some from SG, some from ebay

Which shop in Perak Road? And how's the quality? Present or past crops?

Guys, do you have any suggestion places to buy freshly roasted beans in seremban/ nilai/ bangi/ kajang/ putrajya/ serdang area?

Just getting into homebrewing. Noob here. =)

Beanshipper.com ships fresh beans everywhere!!

Thanks bro. Will do future purchase from there. They on leave until 12/9 though.

Other physical shop suggestion are welcome also. =D

Well if you know perak road market? there's a 3 story building that sells furniture. They do sell spices, coffee beans and tea, and others. Basically import/export stuff. I've forgot their name but from what i understand they supply to many roasters.

the crops, depends as i always ask for the latest arrival.. Latest beans i got from them is Bali Kintamani and sumatra mandheling gayo

Good resource, I didn't know probably 2/3 of the list. Thanks!

"Lighter roasted coffee also means more caffeine. Caffeine is burnt off as the coffee is roasted, so the lighter the roast, the stronger the kick because the less caffeine has been burnt away."

Agree?

Google disagrees Caffeine Content vs Roast Level

"If you measure your coffee by scoops, light roasted coffee will have more caffeine. Since the beans are denser than a darker roast. However if you weigh out your scoops, darker roasts will have more caffeine, because there is less mass."

Hi there, been using the BES920 Double Boiler for a little over a year now. So far no issues (touch wood), quick warm up, easy to use and cleanup after. Done cleaning cycle twice so far, instructions were easy to follow. Espresso flow wise, I find the flow from the left spout of the portafilter is slightly smoother than the right spout, tested a few different beans, grind size, amount, the left side still collects slightly more than the right. Small issue though personally speaking. Might be getting a bottomless p/f later on, will see how that goes. Other than that, its all good coffee

Warranty wise, I think mine has exceeded warranty period, but so far all is still well.

Thanks for your feedback. Btw, where did you purchase your machine and how much?

Bought it as a combo with the Smart Grinder in 2014 from Coffex for RM 5,999.
Harvey Norman & ESH were selling the combo about RM 5,800 I believe, back then. But Coffex offered some basic barista training at their place at Hicom-glenmarie when I purchased it from them, so I went with Coffex. And it also helps that they sell all other accessories you need as a home barista - Tamper (I don't use the one provided along with BES920, not heavy enough , tamping mat, shot glass, knockbox, cleaning brushes, cleaning powder, thermometer..etc
And they gave me free 1kg Superbar espresso beans.

Now the BES920 sells close to 6K on its own, without grinder.

Yes! Price up so much !!

Lazada is sellling RM4686

I've been using one for the past few months, no issues. Very consistent and forgiving. Paired mine with a Eureka Mignon grinder.

Bought mine from a LYN forumer iamsobloodysick who runs a store in Kajang for significantly less (similar to the Lazada price) than what Harvey Norman etc were charging. The store is an authorized dealer, so warranty isn't an issue.
