thanks for the feedback bro. I’m new to this making coffee stuff *usually nescafe all the way, going to start with moka pot

hi guys ... can you recommend a coffee machine for home use

1) easy one press button
2) mostly espresso / lungo. sometimes cappucino
3) coffee can be from either capsule or coffee bean

looking at nespresso but open to other options

Was looking at Mara X initially after Zellleonhart recommended it, ended up going for Bianca.. just now trying to see if can slot in to the current order slot by supplier. It has all the bells and whistles and a rather complete package.. Looks good too on the counter. Am starting own bean roasting so having flow control would give me more manual adjustments to play around.

Did a lot of reading past couple days comparing the Bianca vs Profitec Pro 600, 700, ECM Synchronika, Rocket Cinquantotto. The Bianca is the best value of the bunch and i do see alot of user support in forums. As what Zellleonhart says, flow control, bottomless PF, option to direct plumb in water and rotary pump in one complete package is a steal. The only pain point i see is there's no official distri here in Malaysia except for a few importers. But they do tell me that they can service and repair the machines here with parts provided by Lelit. It's also a PITA to order the stock, so patience is required. Profitec and Rocket are supported by more established distributors.

I decided to go with E61 group dual boiler because of the established design and ease of repair (relatively, because most of the parts are off the shelf commercial items). I'm abit of a handy person, so as long there's user guide & manuals, i can do minor repairs / service on my own. This is my 2nd machine as i started off with Breville Barista Express almost 6 years ago and after much thought, the HX E61 is not that big a jump of an upgrade. I want to get something that will allow me to explore further without limitation and have manual controls on hand to play around.

Oh yea, make sure u also set aside a budget to get a reasonably good grinder otherwise you'll not be able to fully utilize a high end machine.. i currently already have a breville SGP and plan to get a Niche Zero (when it is available to order)... Such a pain to get equipments nowadays... Got money buy also cannot get.. hahaha.. i realized that the Covid siituation has made alot of ppl start to explore home brewing and machines are flying off the shelves..

some updates...
i've pre order df64...waiting for delivery..

cant wait!

Just received my upgraditis machine

congrats

nice pretty penny there...

Hi all, i wish to purchase my first entrance coffee machine, budget around 1k. Currently in my list after viewing the forum and you-tube review:

1. Gemilai CM3605 (RM700+/- on shopee)
2. Delonghi ECP35.31 (RM799)

Any suggestion or input from current owner?
Usage is about 2 cup every morning, maybe few more in the weekend.

I am also finding "okay-ish" grinder around RM150+ but seems like most of them are RM300+


The ad from Delonghi EC785.AZ (RM1,699 with promotion free Grinder and tamper) also caught my eye and seems very tempting lol.

hopefully can get some suggestion

hi guys. i will transfer to Singapore this november. im planning on bringing my coffee equipments and coffee bean.

the coffee bean(500g or 1kg) is from local roaster here in Malaysia with the packaging and product description.

the equipments are Flair Pro 2, manual milk steamer, siphon coffee maker + gas burner, and gooseneck kettle.

will Singapore imigration or Customs allow all these?

i go there by flight

is used item..i guess it should be alright
not sure aobut the gas burner.....can you check in that?

Gas burner can check in

Really? That's news to me. What kind of gas burner you have?

this small one. but must empty the gas inside first.

I also preorder df64. I order from J Coffee. Did you order there? I can tell you their replies suck big time. ask anything take them ages to reply whether on FB or whatsapp. I ask them when is the eta for the df64 since they promised early to mid of Oct. Totally no answer. This is really the first and last order with them. Ask to join Milesto group also not approval. I gotten WPM KD310 but no grinder at the moment that can grind for espresso.

yupe...from them....
i received message from them on mon...stock arrived but then i paid the remaining balance...till now no reply yet..lol

ymeng85... which is your strongest smelling boldest tasting bean?

in case anyone interested

Delonghi Dedica Grinder KG521.M for sale

Hi guys, been using Gemilai CRM3605 for some time and recently I bought a 58mm bottomless portafilter from Lazada.

Was super excited when I received it yesterday but unfortunately it couldn't fit into my espresso machine. Is there any other recommendations from other people here?

PS: I'm letting go the said portafilter if anyone is interested.

it couldnt fit means you cant lock it or?
i bot mine from taobao...fit nicely...no issues..
i think alot ppl bot from shopee or lazada also...no issue as well...you can join the gemilai fb group

Cant lock at all with the basket in. I guess i was unlucky with it la.

hmmm...then too bad...maybe defect...
