On any other occassion I would agree with you, but I already have quite a number of 110v appliances including a Kitchenaid

Plus I have a huge Amazon gift card to use up.

No doubt they can be cheaper price in their retail country but shipping fee will kill you. Especially those comes from US as the fee is 3 to 5 times the fold then the item you buy (Last time i brought a plastic replacement for rm 50 only but with total cost of ship the item become rm 200 plus). Last time i order parts from US and now, i skip ordering them totally.

Any reasonable good espresso machine for under 1k? for personal use at home only.
If you looking for machine, Try Philips Saeco, there is a few user here using it and there some user mod it too if im not mistake. Else you can get those portable ones like minipresso or the bellman CX series.
.With limited budget, there is no much to go around unless you pump abit then can get decent machine like gaggia or Ascaso dream up.

Hi sifu. I've got a drip coffee machine in office, and I really like milk with my coffee. No microwave machine, so I'm thinking of getting a milk frother that heats the milk up at the same time. Any suggestions?
Don't think I can afford an Aerochino though. Something cheaper would be great. Looked through taobao a little bit, but can't read chinese, not sure what to get and how to get it over.
Thanks
You can get those automatic milk frother machine that heat and froth your milk at the same time. You can try to ask from illy or breville they have those auto milk frother too. I haven't seen or tried one before so i cant say much about it.
Another update from my mod:
Anti Vacuum kit are up so does the boiler homemade insulation wrap.

Water tube routing done.
