Good match is subjective all I can say it's a good start on a budget
Ask those who have bought on taobao pm the dude ( Tikietic ) who shop online not me. Such machines just need descale no need parts change on a annual basis. May last 5-7 yrs before u need to find something new.

Google for review around, I only point you to who bought on taobao and own such machine. I cannot comment on tax and shipping cost etc

Just check KD-310 and I think it is out of my budget, Kd210 alone already cost me 2.5K, they will free their ZD-10 coffee grinder, I will use that temporarily before I have enough money to get baratza preciso. Or is there any wpm coffee grinder that is on par with preciso?

baratza preciso also getting from taobao ?

Looks like Antipodean increased their price, it's now almost RM32 with GST. Time to look for other budget beans for cheapskates like me .

thanks for the link, those prices look nice!
my chinese is rubbish, it would be difficult for me to navigate taobao and find these kind of stuff
any idea how long it takes to reach Malaysia and the shipping cost?
won't we get taxed?

damnit, might buy some coffee stuff instead of that new pc upgrade I was saving for

IKEA beans la. RM12.90 for 250gm.
I notice a balance of Arabica and Robusta in them but i dont know the origin.

cuppa.com.my also selling zd-15

ohh yea didn't notice that, thanks! RM66x included gst for zd-15 I got ask from cafe nearby my house area and they selling zd16 for around RM72x include gst. wondering what's the diff between this 2

Traders & Business visitors what about home user visitor?

Wow. Then pls give address of this cafe, cos zd16 is better than zd15.

Thursday & Friday are for trade visitors; Saturday is for anyone.

I asked through FB only the cafe's FB page New Black . Btw, just called dankoff and they carrying zd-15 for RM599 and zd-16 for Rm699 exclude GST. So after gst it's the same price with the cafe i asked.

ohh okay noted. will go and have a look if free

Water. Are you sure those cheap thermometers are accurate? From what i have heard, even the cheap IKEA water thermometer are horribly inaccurate. Btw i'm currently using my meat thermometer that cost around RM80 but i'm afraid of ruining it.
