i dont think its an issue if you know what you are doing. it only becomes an issue when you screw up. because coppers are relatively soft and delicate and the right tools is super important. dont use those inaccurate spanners and tools made in china. coz that will screw everything up.   

@D33 has vast experience in tearing up the oscar and did some mod. if I'm not mistaken it should be around pg 50+ haha

@luvox our water is not really as soft as SG, but still quite soft la so 2 years once is ok i think! I've not descale mine yet and not looking forward to it

RM2k budget just for a grinder. Walao..

Using french press, is it possible to get crema?

Are those beans from Starbucks Reserve Roastery worth giving a try .... ?

Yes bro, but I want the espresso size. Kindly suggest brand
Too costly and I don't want to put any effort

Pour hot water and wash cup after finish drinking is all I'm willing to do.
Will look for Lavazza. Thanks buddy

Hi All

anyone got selling used secondhand espresso machine? with 1 group

nuova simonelli appia II , expobar, etc ?

Time and electricity taken to get the boiler up to temps then make 1 cup and shut down 
But enthusiasts will love them. When you wanna re-calibrate and pull again or want to do a tasting session of multiple single origins side by side
These machines will get you the consistency you want so you can just concentrate on the recipe

Usually if you have this kind of machine, you'll be asking friends to come over all the time. Family too!

Well...I think it's not so much about getting to temp...but so much power wasted to just get 2 or 10 cups out at home...

May i ask if which one is more suitable for beginner since you have tried most of the brewing devices? Pour over method supposed to require more skill right?

Anybody familiar with this brand 2elle elissa?

Friend got a display unit for sell at a really good price, a search online didnt yield many results though

Raw beans at Osaka

Hi all sifu here 

Anyone know where can i buy this New Expobar E61 Espresso Machine in malaysia ?

im looking for espresso machine currently.

Thanks for reply.

Hi Patryn33

I'm located at KL, around kl state where can i get this?
Or somewhere selling this model secondhand used unit? 

Thanks lowkl on your recommendation of grinder too. Seriously I'm lost now. I know it's best to save for the best but that takes a lot of time. My friend persuaded me to get a grinder as it gives better taste as compared to pre-ground coffee. However, I never expect a good grinder can cost up to rm2k. Noob me..

Bro you're crazy lol
Why not throw in the Peak and EK43 while you're at it 

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.

not too sure either. prob he thinks it's the ashes that give the coffee from ipoh that bitter than usual taste? personally i find it ok. anyway thanks for the reply and recommendation.

Explain to me again as to the cons of the Breville double boiler BES920 vs anything in the same price range (circa RM 5k)?

Thanks in advance!

How often do u guys clean your group head with the cleaning tablets? and for grinder as well. my grinder is 2 years old and has never been cleaned internally nor serviced.
