Getting my own Oscar sooooon....can't wait!
Have you checked your pressure before? Is it @ 15bars and did you do any OPV mods to bring down to 9bars?

Thanks for your advice, where you get your ZD-16 and Oscar? How much it cost?

Oscar i bought from lighthouse coffee near sg pinang, penang. Im staying in penang. Cost rm 3.6k b4 gst with free gift, pitcher, thermometer, tamper, 2 espresso cups, knock box. ZD-16 i bought from taobao, small box sea freight, less than rm500 if not mistake.

Can you share how you buy things on Taobao? Normally I am asking "middle man" buy for me, but they charge like 0.8 * taobao selling price in RMB + around RM 15/kg for sea freight, is it what it suppose to be?

Was interested back when it was launched...
Am using Breville now, but have to temporarily give up coffee, posted my setup here for sale:


WTS Breville Espresso Set

Perhaps when my condition gets better, hopefully within a year's time, I can convince my wife on the OscarII.

That said, still having doubts selling off my Breville. I've done some survey in my neighbourhood forum, seems like quite a number of people interested on "take-away"/ Grab and Go Espresso based drinks... could turn it into small business instead of getting rid of the machine cause I can't drink.

halo im from penang too.
was plan to get a oscar, but i was told that oscar II coming soon . seems like have to wait 

other than lighthouse ,anywhere at penang can get coffee equipment? so far i know is only maccalum, and they quote me eureka mignon rm1650 and wpm zd-17 rm1020.
totally no idea that was a good price or not due to no place else i can compare with.

your ZD-16 retention will serious or not? like the ground stucked at the hole in the machine. I need to slap my ZD-15 many times then only the stucked ground will drop out from the output hole   

I dint go to check how much retention. It wont clog the out flow even after 1-2kg beans volume load

Yup, limited place for equipment here. Have u tried lighthouse? I plan to get compak grinder from overseas during next holidays traveling.

If budget is not issue, then u can wait for oscar II. It looks expensive

Not yet . Where it locate?
Yeah it does. But have to wait for oscarII anyway, mayb ada discount for old 1? Or mayb it says "im looks expensive, but im not actually"   

p/s : budget is big issue for me.

From what I see in Elektros Italian Website, the price increment seems to be small 

wow...    

And it stated comes with anti vacuum valve, dont know whether can mod opv like previous version or not.

thanks ymeng85

Isn't the antivac more of a convenience feature rather than performance? It's so that you can turn on the machine and walk away versus having to purge the steam to get the boiler to actual real brew temp?
