got... you can search for profitec pro or rancilio silva pro.. both of these are still sold in malaysia. these are old-school machines.. are you sure?

well most home entry level machines are well within the 13A socket limit.. if your coffee machine comes with 2 group heads or more.. only then will you need to worry about the 13A socket.

Thank you. Is that any particular cofffee machine you will recommend for beginner?

Hi 👋🏽 coffee beginner here.

Just bought a beginner machine and grinder. Just starting my journey with home brew espresso. Previously, been brewing from Moka pot.

For normal single wall basket, just a survey, what brand are you using… I am looking for something not too expensive unlike IMS or normcore… with 51mm targeting 18g capacity.

De'Longhi ? Been eyeing for long and it's seem quite popular

Is this brand really recommended?

do refer to my previous post.. lots of resources there.
been contributing to this thread since 2018

just stick with the basket that comes with the machine.. if you were to get a third party basket, make sure it fits. it's not only the diameter but how the basket's lips are designed to align with the grouphead rubber casket to form a good seal.

Anyone know if pulp still the distributor for baratza?

Haven't contacted them in a while.

Their email very unresponsive

Sharing how I drink my cheap coffee.

Kapal Api coffee powder (corse) + Everyday milk powder (non full creme) with Vietnamese dripper.

Cheap, easy to make and easy to clean. Taste good to me.

The only downside is you need another cookware to help keep the temperature while dripping and it is slow.
