dear......fresh milk in malaysia is about the same! except the F&B grade, otherwise most of the fresh milk in town is about that same....... to get good milk form...... Temp, milk protein and milk fat is the main key!

i think what u say "milk suck" are refer to taste!
*
Not all fresh milk is the same when you steam it up. some sweeter some creamier some watery some foamy, not all cows are fed with the same grass and not all are harvested the same?! tongue.gif try frothing with HL! puke.gif

You still have lots to learn...you do realized that one has to foam it just right to pour what I did...the fact that it breaks down so fast... means this milk sucks for art...as well as taste...

...window to stretch very narrow... microfoam not very stable... mouth feel not very good... not enough sweetness... not very fragrant... all my opinion of course...

I didn't like it day one... still hate it on day two... worst fresh milk I've tried...
*
This i have to agree! some milk just sucks! stick with the "common" ones Farmhouse, farm fresh, goodday, magnolia (yellow box). drool.gif

ya. It has the black knob. I tried remove the black knob and try to froth, but I didn't get any foam.
Will try again this weekend.

Problem is, Tesco doesn't sell small box of milk, and I only make a few cups of coffee on weekend sad.gif

QUOTE(ymeng85 @ Apr 21 2017, 03:40 PM)
If you remove the knob then you'll need to change the technique of frothing too
May have to lower the pitcher a bit more to get the psttt psttt sound. Keep experiementing! I did the same on my Gaggia Evo last time

Hi everyone,

I'm also considering on getting a grinder for pourover. I'm currently using a hario mini mill, but I'm constantly getting a lot of fines.

Have thought of upgrading. Anyone of you have any ideas between the Akira electric grinder, commandante hand grinder or precision hand ground?

Initially wanted to save up for the baratza sette, but reviews said it's not as good for filter as it is for espresso
*
Ahhh wait for the sette 30 its made for filters!! rclxms.gif

How do you brew ice dropped coffee with v60? Any instructions can share? It looks very different from a ice drip coffee tower.

hi to all, i am new to all this make yourself coffee so just want to ask an opinion from everyone here. i got some ipoh coffee grounds and i am using the pour over coffee way to filter them. a friend told me ipoh coffee grounds has a lot of ash so better not to drink it. Is he correct in saying that and if so, what would be the best way to filter them grounds? thanks for every information.
*
sweat.gif ohmy.gif A lot of "Ash"? doh.gif not sure how can we filter the ash but does it taste like ash? confused.gif Well the safest way is to grind your own coffee beans to ensure no ash or rocks! rclxm9.gif

Hi sifusss,

I'm currently doing some research for my next coffee machine.
Read a little about PID, want to ask if it is really that important for us home user?
Also one of the factor in my next machine would be durability, would like it to last for many years.
Checked out on Breville online, seems to be quite suitable but then IMHO it won't last as long as those Bezzera's type of E61 group head machines.

The Rancilio Silvia is very simple and nice but it doesn't have a PID on it.
The Rocket Appartamento is also very nice, with HX, but it also doesn't have a PID on it. Also it is a lot more expensive than the Rancilio Silvia.

The service and repair for the machines also are quite important in case of things breaks down.
I know Breville service should be quite easy to find around Malaysia since a lot of places selling their machines. But for those like Rancilio, Rocket, or Bezzera, anyone knows where I can get them fix if there's a problem?

Any recommendations from all the sifus here?
*
Awesome but TBH the machine is not that important! any HX with E61 machine will definetly give you many generation to come if you take care of it well basically no service or repairs needed! they are build to last! be it bezzera or rocket or profitec or NV.

First thing first you need a grinder to match your intended espresso machine because if its a poor grinder it will give mediocre results even with a 10k machine.

to start cheap maybe with pour overs V60 or Aeropress!

have a caffeinated journey ahead!

Don't need so troublesome just make coffee like what has been suggested among the community here and add 2g of unsalted butter to it with milk or not its up to you!!

It depend on the location of selling.
Over my place  1L magnolia cost about 7.15 if you buy 2box = 2 litter will cost about 14.30 while 2L farm house cost about 13.50, way cheaper then magnolia but i do buy magnolia if they sell promo package.

Wa really ah!? u sure not expired? tongue.gif tongue.gif hahahaha but in KL i don't see farm house that cheap tho! magnolia is standard rate RM12-14 and farm house is RM16-18 rclxm9.gif

Finally this has arrived.

[attachmentid=8863125]

Still getting used to the more powerful steam wand. Anybody knows why why i'm getting a less silky milk compared to my old delonghi? There is only very minmal foam on the top of milk, temperature is actually already higher than the 50-60 degrees range. I'm thinking it's my angle issue.
*
Nice!! Congrats!! rclxm9.gif drool.gif

Time to make some good coffee!! on the milk you need to inject air earlier and then make the milk swirl. that will give u better foam, also adjusting the angle. 1-2 practice you will make it eventually!!

@luvox yeah i think @d33 must be mistaken or maybe he have special source?! brows.gif icon_idea.gif

Question. How much dry coffee do you use and what is the yield that you are getting? Traditionally I understand that a single shot yields 30g and double shot 60g of espresso.
*
I assume dry coffee means the grinds? the "standard" yield is 1:2 for single or double. 7g in 14g out or 19 gram in and 38g out, but ofcoz its up to your taste. sometimes when the crema hits 60ml you stop but u don't get 60g out because of CO2, so i prefer weight base for consistency. rclxm9.gif drool.gif

Have fun experimenting, no right or wrong just preference!

I advocate stopping by color (blonding)... this way your coffee flavor will be more consistent, just either a bit stronger or weaker...never sour or bitter...

I only weigh when changing beans to get my grinder to the ballpark...after which is just two scoops (16-18g) for my double (50-55ml) and runs anywhere 25-45s...sometimes even 50s when I overdoses... lol...
*
Thats a good indication too. but when i wake up my eyes are not fully open to the colour so just depend on weight. hahaha shocking.gif
