thanks! thats helpful. I realise the brand is called 'koonan' thought it's Fuji Royal?

Fuji Royal is by itself is a japanese brand. The model which is most suitable for home use is fuji royal r220, however its very expensive and hard to find 220V model, the cost is easily 700 USD.

As Fuji Royal R220 is a very very old model, there are clones of it appearing in the market, specifically in TB under 小富士电动鬼齿. These clones are labelled under different brands, but if you notice, they all look alike, which most probably means its more like OEM + their own branding.

I had experience with the fuji royal clone, really easy and good to use, at this price point, its impossible to find another which excels as much in brew.

I have no experience with the 600N, but from what i have seen, the 600N suffers mainly from small motor issues, alot of issues arises from weak motor. filter coffee tend to be harder to grind generally, so not a good idea to use a smaller motor. 100-150 watt vs 250 watt(Fuji).

Unfortunately, based on ur usage requirements, Delonghi machine with pressurized portafilter will serve you better. There is unfortunately no way pre-ground coffee will work with your 58mm portafilter, you will be facing alot alot of frustrations.

Hi coffee gurus, I'm looking to get an expresso machine, budget around 2-3k and have narrowed it down to the following requirements.

Must haves
I believe these are the things that will actually have the most impact.
1) Double boilers/thermoblocks - Improve speed as I can froth while pulling the shot.
2) PID - Temperature consistency.
3) 58mm portafilter
4) Automatic, single/double shots selection, as it needs to be a bit user friendly for wifey, so fully manual on/off machines are out.
5) No built in grinder required, as buying powder pre-grinned.

Good to haves
1) Hot water dispensers = I can save countertop space, as no need buy separate water heater.

What would be the good options available to me?
I was considering the Gemilai 3200D, at approximately RM 2.8k, but the size seems huge and will take up a lot of counter space.

Units in consideration
Currently leaning towards Gemilai 3200D - Overall looks decent, but HUGE size
KD-210S2 or Carimali CM300 (same model I believe, just rebadged) - The size and features seems nice, but I read the portafilter is pressurized? I believe can replace?

Out of consideration
Seems like Milestos are all manual on/off machines  sad.gif  do they have something with the single/double shot selection?
Breville that meets criteria 1-4 is out of my budget.
