you printed it yourself? does it come with any cover/holder when its not in use? Roughly when your needle will arrive?

Overall, nespresso and espresso dont share much of the same property except that they're both produced from coffee beans. They will not taste the same, but with much less work using nespresso. I wont say that it is subpar, you can get pods from good roasters and it will taste good for consumption. But home brewing with espresso machine means you need to enjoy making coffee, not only drinking them.

If you are keen to learn more on home brewing, maybe start with simple coffee making like aeropress/v60/moka pot but they're consumed best without milk. Each will give diff kind of taste but will be a lot cheaper than getting an espresso machine.

Was considering the V60 and moka pot as well. But for moka pot I only found one pricey one which is compatible with my induction cooker.

From what I gather I will need to get a pouring kettle, a grinder and a weighing scale along with the v60? Anything else I missed?

I've tried the aeropress before but somehow didn't enjoy the coffee.

good grinder + flair

I like my coffee with milk. Need to add another milk frother with this setup?

That's good enough. Its a lot of experimenting moving forward with grind size, water amount, time to keep you going for months. U can add temperature too once you are comfortable.

I actually tried a few of the SOL coffee, yes, its not tat high high grade specialty bean, sometimes I felt tat there is only subtle difference between diff beans,
not tat pronounce. but I still cant really tell all those fancy taste notes, so I think its still ok for me to get by my day to day drink requirement for the price.
I've tried quite a numbers of coffee in these 2-3years in my coffee journey, from beanshipper to ikea dark roast, from rm100+ 200gm bean I got from taiwan
to nearby local roastery. sometime makes me wonder if it worth the extra if my taste bud cant really tell the fairly ok 1 with the very expensive 1.

I read online (and watched James Hoffsman yt) regarding grinders. Is it true that if I use a cheapy hand grinder my brew will be significantly worse?

Could you recommend a decent brand that doesn't break the bank? Looking at around RM150 budget.

I saw this other brewer called the Hario Switch. Seems like this one better suited for newbies.

have u tried v60 or pour over coffee before?
u might get disappointed, if ur into bold/bitter/strong coffee or coffee+milk

yes sort of. this is actually puck screen can help to reduce channeling as water will spread equally on your coffee bed and also no more coffee stain sticking on your machine shower screen.

Yea. there were some youtube videos shows and compare. although it doesnt show much effects to your general coffee taste but for home espresso, this could help you less coffee attach to your upper shower screen as well.
And like WHITE APPLE mentioned. it helps you create less channelling.

if you are ordering, count me in 😁

I just ordered the last 4 pieces for myself, whiteapple and his/her friend, and one extra!
haha I will let you know the $ when the bank complete the transaction into MYR.
but i ordered the 58.5MM one, make sure your machine fits with this type portafilter.
