Could anyone recommend a great dripper for travel uses?

@patryn33, i had considered the V60, but my concern is that it may not survive the rigours of travel (i think you know how "well" our flight companies handle our luggages 😅).

Mazzer super jolly in taobao selling price is around rm 2k. It is so tempting, but worry fake. But seller reassure it is supplier price -.-" genuine

Didn't know coffee prevents Alzheimer. More reasons for us to love coffee!

Like the cost of a EK43?

I've added another step to my routine..

Custom roast your own signature coffee blend effortlessly and have it shipped right to your door

basically most item is make in china already, even they said make in italy or any part of euro, that doesn't true, cause euro gov don't control it ..... only country required 100% clear of country made is US ....

Cause i do international logistics ....
U know how many product is actually makr in malaysia ?
cool i love ur wiki sources

Hi guys!
Been keeping an eye on the development of EG-1 grinder but when the price of it was announced, I gave up 😢.
Just saw on their website that at least 4 units have been delivered to Malaysia.
Any chance anyone of you might be one of them? If it is would be nice to hear your review on this grinder.
Cheers![attachmentid=6321148]

Hahaha ..... Very sharp!!!
If anyone selling used Hg-One, I am interested....😄

Question about superautomatics, how good are the superautomatics compared to a very novice level person like me?

I drink almost exclusively milk based coffee (lattes). I'm currently on the Baratza Encore + Saeco Poemia combo, using mostly light to medium roast beans from beam/sprezzatura/beanshipper/antipodean. I can make my lattes better than pretty much any store bought latte now, but the prep and cleanup time does take a lot of time. Trying to aim for less maintenance work without compromising taste if at all possible. Volume is very low, maybe 7-8 shots per day between the wife and I.

Looking at a Jura Ena 9 which I can get for a decent price which is why I'm asking this question

i have been making 2 shot every morning with double basket portafilter. i make one shot into latte & discard the other one short. wonder does anyone doing the same thing like me with their oscar. i only need single shot, but believe that single shot portafilter may affect the quality of shot

For Lattes the ratio will be 1:3 ratio.

Agreed. Double ristretto pulled from 18g on the Oscar has tasted way better. Ever since, I've moved away from lattes (more milk) because of this

assuming he's going for the standard ratio of 1:2

means 18 grams of extracted weight from 18 grams of coffee instead of 36 grams

I think ymeng85 answered your question already.

So the other one, it is not a waste as you're going for a higher concentration per liquid volume.

It's the "extraction" yield that matters.

Using volume is always confusing...
When using ratios, go with weight...so a regular espresso at 1:2 will yield me 36g of espresso from 18g of beans
Ristretto would be a 1:1 so 18g of coffee, 18g of liquid yield which comes up roughly to 30ml (crema is lighter than water)

Coffee needs a minumum of 12-24 hours rest after roasting before it is brewed. You can drink it before then but the body and flavor really start to develope after a a day or so. Don't wait too long to drink it though depending on the coffee the "cup quality" will show a loss in overall flavor after a week. Therefore, we call coffee "fresh" for 7 days if it is stored properly:

- Stir the hot beans in the collander until warm to the touch. When we're roasting another batch, we transfer them to a small bowl until they cool completely.
- After the beans have cooled put them into an open glass storage jar. Since we roast many varieties and blends of coffee in small quantities, we use the Mason canning screw-top jars. If you use the type with the glass lid attached to the jar with wire, make sure the rubber seal is intact and in good condition. Otherwise, the jar is useless.
- After 8-12 hours, we seal the jar tightly. Freshly roasted coffee emits C02 for the first 24 hours, keeping away the oxygen which will eventually make it stale. Some recommend sealing the container after a full 24 hours, but we have never had a problem sealing it sooner.
