The mokapot I interested in is this:



Ikea mokapot is 1 of my regret purchase items, I can send to you by postage if you ok with RM50 included delivery fees, mine not really used more than 5 times.

Flair Neo is combo with timemore C2 usually for very entry "pseudo-espresso" since Neo is relying on pressurised spout to produce crema. (can use supermarket ground coffee in vacuum pack, but only 30-50% of the actual espresso)

You can refer 1zpresso diagram for each model suitable for which type of coffee: (only look for Plus/Pro series if you going for espresso capable tiers)

Ive been using a Flair (Classic) for a couple of years now; extremely happy with it. For the home environment, it's very hard to find any shortcoming in terms of the espresso it produces... shoots well above its class. True pressure-derived espresso, crema and all. However, just as with any true espresso, grind quality is critical, so you will need a proper espresso grinder to pair with it. A manual steel burr grinder like 1ZPresso, LingLong ACE48, Commandante (preferably with Red Clix), Kinu and the like.

The Pros are very capable devices and I've never heard anyone regretting their decision in getting this model compared to the others; however, if you are really tight on the budget, the Classic and Signature do not compromise on the quality of the espresso; only on quantity (20-30% smaller maximum shot size).

I also have a Cafflano Kompresso; interesting coffee but not in the same ballpark as the Flair.

As for the milk part, there's using a French Press. Quite a few YouTubes out there showing that the texture is good enough even for latte art (if that's what you are after). Alternatively, you can spring for a Nanofoamer when it comes out.

I've been reading back on posts. A Lelit Elizabeth DB will cost RM6.5k.. whereas the Flair can range from RM700 for the Neo towards RM1.3k for the Pro2. Assuming if I only drink ice latte and espresso/americano, this Flair seems to be very viable for me. I am especially intrigued based on your satisfaction on the coffee.

I do intend on splurging for a good grinder, probably the Eureka Mignon Silenzio -- that being said is there only 1 place to buy it? Or you guys got any lubang.

I have been reading the posts on manual hand grinder and have recently bought 1ZPresso JX PRO at around RM700

A superb grinder
Very solid.
Very little retention.
Easily cleaned with the supplied brush.

I love mine too and it's been very consistent for the past two years. Very little retention, opened to clean it once so far and was surprised how clean it looked (then again I only grind 16g daily).
Mine has one design flaw though that is the socket handle and the shaft are made from dissimilar metals (aluminium vs stainless steel)I can see some traces of corrosion which I think adding oil will help. Maybe something you can look into if the design has not changed.

the flair is very good... for a bit more funky look you have the cafelat robot

the elizabeth, i cant get past the silvia lookalike to be interested...

I will be ordering the Cafelat Robot from HK soon ....

Oh u mean there the Flair Neo is pressurized? hmmm.... the spout.... ok. I a bit blur. Let me google a bit wat's that.

Hi, can i get some recommendation for an espresso machine and grinder with a budget between 3.5k - 4.5k. Thank you

I think i saw a seller on shopee selling all the colours.

yah I saw that but felt more confident ordering from www.cafelatstore.com

How much is the shipping? Do you use a forwarder to ship from HK?

Nespresso mini capsule machine is pretty good. But freshly grinded beans coffee still the best. Personally I'm using Breville.
