Aiyah....

You can check out kuluuluk's suggestion, but those I checked out cost way over your budget.

just for a small team of 3
actually my plan is i pass them my poemie and i buy new machine for my home .... any recommendation ? budget below 3k (i have grinder d)

what price range of a superauto were u looking at?
manual or automatic they both need some kind of maintenance.
even for capsule type they need simple cleaning, if 90% of your ppl at work do not care about good coffee. capsule will do. capsule costly but machine cheap and maintenance easy, replacement also cheap.

if U just want coffee not espresso, these coffee machine also needs to be maintain.
my office has one that can choose between 3-4 beans type and makes coffee. it grinds and brew coffee.

maybe solution is train a maid to be a barista and do all the work

Man, the new portafilter basket for oscar seem to chew up my beans like no tomorrow. last time i uses 10 second of grind on my rancilio silvia which can last at least 3 grinds now it seem it take 15 second (additional 5 second more) last only 2 grind with the same amount fresh bean i pour into the hopper.

brewing also abit longer?

i didn't time the last round when brew but to me it look normal on the brewing duration.

yesterday machine pump sound weird and it is quiet loud like it is try to pump for water when the tank is empty (Last check the tank was full)...try to brew the coffee and check water brew from the brew head ... everything seem fine, so i try to measure the pressure fearing could cause by it. When i switch off the brew button after checking the pressure, there is a high release of pressure, when with a loud "pop". It even lifted up and push my dip tray out abit.... then when i tested again.... it when back to normal sound....

Weird....

Nothing weird there buddy!! could be "airlock" inside the tubes. you are good!! don't worry too much and drink coffee!!

maybe first brew from cold start? next brew will be smooth?

"airlock" ? happen to you before ? Yesterday i tried and machine seem ok already.... my first initial suspected could be the solenoid valve pipe had been block by access water in the dip tray but i always kept my dip tray empty after i off the machine or maybe i forget to load off the access water ...hmm

Anyway, I will monitor the machine for 1 week so see if it happen again.

Nop, Even at cold flush process from cold start seem it affecting already. I tried yesterday, it seem it be back to normal even when i cold flush on from the cold start.

Back to my experiment update, I tried to do a half step down from my grinding, It taste so much better now compare initial grind that too bitter.

What exactly is Ipoh White Coffee?

Is it the way it is prepared, or is it that the bean is white in color, or what?


Went to a kopitiam, and in the list, there's this option of ordering Ipoh White Coffee O (without milk). So ordered, and I got black coffee.

you can start a new youtube mod channel.... !!

By remove my parts and reassemble them again.... haha...that really scares me to take off the machine apart again....maybe next round....but for now i try to start a website about the mod....

Dude really a website? why not start it in a forum instead? like Home barista or coffee forums where you have inputs? but I'm impressed with what you did!! Welldone!! yes 'Airlock' can be the cause of stressed water pump, and sometime it can cause a pinch on silicon tubings too. thats why never run the machine without water. maybe next is to mod a water level device. without using any electronics.

Coffee time!!

Website like blogspot would be nice for a starter, i had been thinking of forum too but just the committee that really want to go through all the hassle is just too small later become cold forum ahaha (I had already got my review on blogspot). What i can see most ppl would prefer just buy a coffee machine, and make coffee and never having thought of going through all those tear down and mod and later regret why they tear down the machine and broke thing inside. hahaha

Speaking of water level devices mod.... hmm...don't we already have on in the machine ? i think it is quite redundant to have another. I planing to add pressure gauge on the groupe head but im out of budget so i had to wait till when i had to budget before i can add in another mod. For now, i just drink coffee only.

First try was the India monsooned melabar, the taste and technique is so much different from my silvia. In silvia, i had to go very fine grind (Often i step my grinder all the way down to the end) to get my taste (sometimes inconsistent taste) but oscar with mod, i don have to step all the way down, just going up half of grind it taste much better (First tried was so much crazy bitter due to old silvia setting).

Guy which machine is good upgrade from poemie, as i decide put my free poemie in my pg office ....

It will be great if you have a price range and type of machine u preferred. with grinder or without? what type of coffee drinker you are?

Dang.... The sound of the infamous pump came back again last night when i run the pump. Again, i tried the same method, attach my pressure gauge and let it run through but this time there is no loud 'pop' and causing my dip tray to move. Just simple back flushing couple of times and it is back to normal again.

I wonder could it be something had to do with my solenoid getting stuck or something.

yeah perhaps when you change the metal solenoid, there's sip of air when it's dry? just my guess only.

prices range below 2.5k
just normal cappuccino or latter drinker. (one day 2-4 cup)
don't need grinder, as i already have
but some how prefer simple and easy type, me not those ppl willing to spend a lot of time here (or not this moment).
Reason no more poemie, already have one at home, another one at kl office, now plan to move my home poemie to pg office, so i can upgrade home unit.
thanks

I'm a Breville user myself, around the 2.5K range, perhaps can try the Breville Due Temp Pro (~RM 2.3k). Some specs taken from seattle coffee gear:

Integrated PID: Breville’s integrated electronic assistances ensures temperature stability.
Auto Purge: After steaming, the auto purge automatically adjust the temperature back to brewing.
Extra Touches: Breville excels in providing convenient features for home brewers, such as the safe-guard finger-grab on the steam wand, the magnetic tamper and razor to trim off extra grounds.
Made For Any Level: The Duo-Temp comes equipped with non-pressurized baskets for coffee lovers looking to hone their craft and pressurized baskets for beginners looking to perfect their espresso skills.
Thermocoil Heating: The stainless steel coil provides accurate control over heating water.
Traditional Style Steam Wand: The commercial-grade stainless steel wand swivels 360° to get at those hard-to-reach angles.
Pre-Infusion: Low water pressure gently infusions all the grounds to extract the most flavor from the coffee.
Spacious Water Tank: More water means less time spent on running to the faucet to replenish.
Built-In Water Filter: The water filter keeps the water soft and impurities out.

I've not used this model before, but my Breville Double Boiler has been working well
