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

looks like the WPM is better in steaming

looking at this set; is the price ok?

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).

I think of that too but the whole project would cost another extra RM 200 plus effort to 3D printing the parts to hold everything together. In the end, as everyone said, go for a good electric burr grinder or stick to hand grinding.

In Australia, WPM is oem for Sunbeam. You can google for more info under Sunbeam EM6910. Same for the grinder.

Hello, newbie here.

Started with a press, moka pot, now on a Delonghi E680 Dedica. Pretty good for the price point, IMO.

Grinding with a KRUPS burr grinder.

Hmmm... dunno. I would think it really depends on personal preference/taste. Most beans tagged as for espresso or for moka pot seem to be blends; I would think those with a fuller body go well with milk. Those who enjoy looking for the fine nuances of different beans from different regions/farms always prefer to take their coffee black.

From my experience, all coffees can work with milk but at difference degrees. Some may stand up to a very milky latte but others do better as a cappuccino
However, for me, I only choose to go milk if it somehow enhances the experience or bring something different to that coffee. Otherwise, better to keep it as an espresso or filter to enjoy the nuances
But i say just go for it and let your tastebuds decide. You don't want to also rob yourself of a potential delicious combination smile.gif

The price looks good, Dankin in Serdang is selling RM 3,299 for the KD210S2 only (without grinder) before GST.
But you need to confirm the plug type, I believe you need an adapter.

Regarding the WPM grinder, I have not much comment, some people say good, some people say not good.

If you can get the Baratza Encore also not bad.

You using Bakashopping? How much they charge for the freight cost for this item?

If you're okay with overseas shipping and the potential tax, why not get 2nd hand eBay?

Even their home brand also got fake. My friend in China told me getting things from Taobao, you had to set your expectation right. Only go for cheap stuff, not branded stuff. He even got cheated on fake Xiaomi phone.
