Couple of people are selling on Lelong, but the ones I got from them have mostly
INACCURATE measurements! It may or may not matter to you...

U meant such? How inaccurate? Off by 1ml or 10ml?

Whoa! The second link shows Lab Beakers! These won't be off by more than 2 ml or so.

The ones that are off are the ones in the first link, and also those "Tiamo Shot Glasses" : one could be almost spot on, while another could be off by about 5-8 ml - not that much, really, but to someone anal like me, it's just not kosher!

I know because I went and bought 50 ml measuring cylinders, and also 50 ml beakers, did someone mention "anal"? haha

Please share the brand of French Press so that we will *NOT* get it!

I thought all should be pretty much rust-proof; I think Bodum is, at any rate.....

Last time I checked, was around 2.5K, from various sellers. Since you asked, I checked cuppa, and they don't have it anymore. Will keep looking, but any leads would be welcome!

Personally I think this forum is a little too preoccupied with crazy expensive equipment.

As for the French Press, perhaps getting a set from Ikea would be more cost effective than hacking a new mesh. The 1 liter model goes for RM 59 while the 0.4 liter is just RM 27.90. Was just at the Cheras branch... tons of stock.

Hi guys smile.gif Was looking on facebook for malaysian coffee group or something, but couldn't find. So nice to find this thread on lowyat!

Newbie to coffee here, wanting to learn. Me and my girlfriend want to try to practice coffee brewing at home.. We want something not too expensive, but a reliable and accurate machine to practice properly. So after some research online, we are eyeing on the Nuova Simonelli Musica .

Do you all have any recommended place for us to purchase the Musica, for a good deal/reasonable price (not overpriced) ?

Simple explanation. Most of us are latte or cappuccino lover. I believe latte art also part of the reason. Haha

I do love french press. But i personally prefer milk based coffee. Or mayb i like to see the 25 sec espresso flow xD

Thanks for the link. The price sure is tempting, but I would have to be a gambling person to take that plunge: the thought of
shipping a defective machine back to EU is scary. And we don't know yet if the customs guys will decide, on that particular time, of that particular day, when the machine passes their station, if they will drop the axe on the 30 odd %... sweat.gif

ppl in SG have bought grinder from them no issue.
chances of a defective machine low, very low.
as for customs tax.. 30%?? where did u get the info?

GST/VAT plus import tax is like 12-15%. still cheaper than what u find locally.. of course when they unreasonable 30% is ouch!
http://tariff.customs.gov.my/

from here its just 10%.

wouldn't ppl getting from taobao be chop here and there.. U just not comfortable buying online. I am kinda used to in my society.. else amazon not seeing crazy market. lol

Appreciate the reply, luvox! smile.gif Noted on Dankoff.

- What about some other places i found online like CoffeeRitual, Coffex Coffee or cuppa. com.my ?

- Also, is there other similar alternative option, other than the Musica?
