Ceramic is quite pricey about RM 100

How about IKEA one haha

I have not tried it out. But based on the design and structure, I believe it will produce a bold and stronger coffee, due to it using metal filter, allowing more oils and fines into the coffee.

Haha yes but I am contemplating because the hole in the daiso one and v60 plastic seems big.

So it doesn't steep that long while brewing
*
Just play with grind size and you can slow down your drip rate with your v60.

A good dripper should be versatile enough to be fast or slow depending on the user's need.

Noted with thanks.

You are using the v60 plastic yourself??
*
I have several filters, mainly Glass V60, Kinto Slow Brewer Ceramic and Clever dripper.
When I still worked in cafe, we also use Kono (I participated in Taiwan's Hand Drip Cup with Kono as well) and Sanyo ceramic dripper as well.

If I'm not mistaken, flow rate will always be faster initially during the pour, but will slow down greatly as time goes on. The water has to 'work' more to get through the coffee. This happens with all filter designs, i.e. truncated cone, V-shaped, and flat bottom e.g Kalita Wave.
Wow, first time I've heard of the Sanyo dripper. How was your experience using it?
I have 2 of the Daiso plastic drippers, bought in my early days of home brewing. They correspond roughly to Kalita 101 & 102 size, 3 holes. But hole size is different between the two, one has larger diameter holes than the other. Strangely enough, I've never been able to get a good cup of coffee to my liking from these Daiso drippers.
I recently made an order from Perk Coffee. You can try them as well. Good quality beans. They roast every Monday or Tuesday and ship the coffee out to you the day after, so if you make your order during the weekend, you'll be able to receive your coffee by Wednesday. Just a few days after roast. Still have to let the beans rest, though.

Arkib Kopi always roasts to order. And IIRC Reframe Coffee Roasters does too.
*
I thought the Sanyo Aritayaki 三洋有田烧 has been quite common for some time?

It shares some similarities with the Kalita 102 but the botton is much well-designed. You will see more ribs to support the paper filter, allowing airflow and resulting in faster flow-rate than the Kalita 102. However, it is still much slower than a Haria v60. In my pass experience, the Sanyo Aritayaki will be a bolder coffee, and paired with lower water-temp and medium size grind, you will get a sweet & bold coffee that still retains its acidity.

However, our shop replaced it with the ZeroJapan which works nearly similarly but has a better built quality.

Thanks for sharing your feedback smile.gif That Zero Japan dripper looks very similar to the Bee House.

They are the same. Used to be called Bee House before it was sold to ZeroJapan biggrin.gif

Ah, no wonder then. TIL, thanks. What are your thoughts on the Bee House? Same output as from the Sanyo?
*
I doubt the difference on taste is noticeable or not. But the Bee House is much convenient if you brew directly over a mug as it comes with a hole as windows.

taobao seems to be the best bet.

I only use it for own consumption and occasionally use it to pack coffee for friends. Buying in small quantity seems a bit pricey.
But unless I can find alternative source, the only option left is taobao. laugh.gif

Definitely enjoying it, very fine and fluffy grinds, and finally don't have to do 5bar 5secs extraction  laugh.gif

Any of you guys have recommendation for grinder cleaning tools?
Any sort of small vacuum cleaner or brushes suitable for cleaning and where to get would be very much appreciated
*
Besides of vacuum cleaner and brushes, I used to clean my grinder by grinding some oats through the burrs to absorb the oil residues. You can also buy some grinder cleaning tablets which I believed are also made from oats.

No oat retention in the grinder afterwards? Or do you have to flush the grinder with some beans first before grinding some for your next brew?
*
Yeah. Will flush the grinder with some medium to light roast coffee after grinding oats or Urnex cleaning tablet. Then only we grind coffee for brewing.

I have a friend living in china now and he's coming back soon.
I wonder if he can bring back some raw coffee beans ?
Any restriction ( airport / export / import law, etc?)
*
Malaysia doesn't allow you to bring in green coffee without AP.

However, I used to bring it 2~3kgs of green coffee without being noticed every time I traveled back from Taiwan.

No problem with roasted coffee. I always bring back 5~6 bags of coffees from Taiwan everytime I traveled back for holiday.

Great news!
I'll let my friend know thumbup.gif wanna try the beans from yunnan.

Anyone has any beans recommendation from china? Roasted or green also ok. Preferably available on taobao

I have bought coffee from Fisher. They are an award winning roaster located in Tsingdao.

If you visit their taobao's side, they will list out every details of the coffee they sell, including roast profile's curve, recommended recipe etc.

But remember, don't forget to support local roasters. tongue.gif

I have been using the 1st generation of 1zgrinder for nearly 2 years, since 2017's November. Bought it when I was still studying in Taipei.

Mine was Italian burr with Titanium coating, dual axis. Overall the grinder consistency is good for the price (bought at NT2800). I generally use it for Aeropress & Pour-over, but occasionally use it for S.O.E when I still worked in a cafe where we only had 1 Espresso grinder for the house blend. I made some of the best Espresso shots I ever had using this grinder, with Single Origin like some Gesha and Light roast Ethiopian (which requires finer grind.)

The new models after mine should have improved even more.

thanks for the writeup and picture thumbup.gif

Now they got J , E , Q series and je plus lol
The shop suggest me JS for pourover
The JE plus looks really nice IMO. Seems like a good espresso grinder hmm.gif

Quite hard to find review for 1z
https://m.mobile01.com/topicdetail.php?f=640&t=5747652
Theres a chart below that shows grind %, seems like JS produces less fine than helor 101 hmm.gif
*
In my opinion, lesser fines doesn't not necessarily translates into a better cup of coffee. When brewing finely roasted coffee, an adequate amount of fines often contributes to a fuller body and sweeter cup without sacrificing clarity.

As for the grinder, since you are looking for a backup unit, I would suggest you to pick the highest price with your affordability and it shouldn't disappoint you.

what would you recommend ~1k for handgrind?

the 1Zpresso JE Plus looks very nice to me. but not sure how it perform for espresso.

There's also Lido 3 / C40 at this price point.. but are more expensive than the chinese's brands.

RM1k I believe you could get Kinu Pheonix? The build quality is superb according to some users, not to mention it is chosen by James Hoffman to be his favourite out of all major hand grinders on the market.
