@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 😅).

You checking in not hand carry?

Buy this then

@patryn33, thank you for the recommendation!
Travelling to Japan in a few months, planning to get the Porlex there (it's RM160!) and will look for the Kalita there as well.

To tie it all up, i found a bag from Timbuk2 that will fit all of my wares (AP, scale, thermometer, Porlex, KeepCup) in one neat and tidy package.

Last Harvey Norman sales is around RM 1199.

Hi..its me the nubis again.can recommend me electric grinder that cost between rm80-rm100.tired using hand cranked

Unfortunately it is currently impossible to find a burr grinder at that price range; only blade grinders.

The closest I could find are

- Feima (or equivalent) 600N grinder, which costs RM320 to RM450. You can find a few on lelong.com.my and one at lazada.
- Delonghi KG89 which costs about RM400

Fully understand and sympathise regarding the hand crank. I am now looking at how to hack together a motor to attach to my Hario Skerton.

blade as like spice grinders? whats the downside using spice grinder compared to others?

Conventional wisdom is that blade/spice grinders generate inconsistent particle size... some of coffee grounds will be super fine while others may be still very coarse. As you already know, particle size greatly affects extraction so you may get both over- and under-extracted characteristics.

Bottom line: very hard for you to control the quality.

Gurus : please correct / enhance.

I see.. Thanks for the clarification. Well stick to hand cranked it is. Already placed an order for hario grinder to replace my old grinder. 😊

You need this if grind for French press or drip.

Also check out the hand drill mod for Hario. Don't bother with those 12v motor with gear reduction mod from eBay as it doesn't have enough torque to grind.

I see..can i source it locally instead of amazon? Btw thanks for all replies. As a nubis this is the most responsive platform I've ever across when it comes to learn and mastering the art of coffees..

I kept reading it as Anubis, Egyptian God haha

Yes, hand grinders are the best bet for quality at an affordable price. Stay there as long as possible until you're ready for electric, then go big.
Not worth to choose a subpar model just for the sake of $$$. A handgrinder will easily outperform those

To put it in layman terms, blade grinders chop the beans at random, while burr grinders pulverize the beans uniformly, since it makes and maintains full contact with the beans.

It's kinda like flattening dough using a rolling pin as opposed to pounding it with your bare hands.

Uniform grinds lead to consistent extractions, thus leading you to a better cup of coffee.

This is a China made semi auto espresso machine, I not sure you can find it here, but you can bring it in from TaoBao if you know how to do that.
There is a China guy made some test of this espresso machine compare to WPM KD 210 S2 which also in the same price range, the result seems WPM is slightly better.

Below is the link for those who can read Chinese

Hmm...looks like a pretty simple thing to laser cut out. Do you think other Skerton users in this forum would be interested if it can be manufactured locally?



I was actually thinking of repurposing a car wiper motor. These generate pretty hefty torque with relatively low speed (definitely better than the hand drill IMHO).

How big are those though?
Also, how are you planning to couple it to the shaft? Even the current hand crank have a tendency to strip the hex bolt after a year+.
I guess if you match the speed to a normal hand rotation speed, it might not be too bad

Hi would anyone be interested to buy my Philips sacco poeima HD8725/07 and Krups GVX2 Grinder?

Anyone else tried the chinese machines?

trying to get a affordable machine.
