Made some Liberica coffee just now. What an eye opener.
Nutty, super earthy, definitely full bodied and a medium finish. This is a good filler coffee but too punchy as it is, at least for me la.

the nangka/yellow fruit aftertaste is wee bit too strong for me haha

does anyone have recommendations for a weighing scale that does not kill the wallet?

I'm currently using a generic one, but it is always off by 2-5g

Hi sifusss,

I'm currently doing some research for my next coffee machine.
Read a little about PID, want to ask if it is really that important for us home user?
Also one of the factor in my next machine would be durability, would like it to last for many years.
Checked out on Breville online, seems to be quite suitable but then IMHO it won't last as long as those Bezzera's type of E61 group head machines.

The Rancilio Silvia is very simple and nice but it doesn't have a PID on it.
The Rocket Appartamento is also very nice, with HX, but it also doesn't have a PID on it. Also it is a lot more expensive than the Rancilio Silvia.

The service and repair for the machines also are quite important in case of things breaks down.
I know Breville service should be quite easy to find around Malaysia since a lot of places selling their machines. But for those like Rancilio, Rocket, or Bezzera, anyone knows where I can get them fix if there's a problem?

Any recommendations from all the sifus here?

Almost 3rd year in with my BES870. Nothing beats convenience of the initial warm up speed on a working weekday to make a cuppa or two.

Any Breville Dual Boilers out there managed to get a bottomless portafilter? The original one from Breville seems ridiculously expensive. I wonder any other third party bottomless portafilter fits it or not.

You can get people to machine your original portafilter if you need to(saw in fb group like 130myr~). I diy'd mine with a friend(for BES870 with non-standard porta size)

got it from starbucks because it's convenient for me sweat.gif and it is safe (?).

underwhelming in the sense that the extraction does not end up with what I was expected - perhaps i was expecting too much or maybe the coffee beans have been sitting on the shelves for far too long.

i have been buying their Caffe Verona beans because I really like that chocolate-y taste that the espresso gives out but i feel like these beans are not at their full potential (or something like that, if you get what i mean  confused.gif )

I want to seek a new source for my coffee beans purchase but not sure from who or where =(

If you are in PJ area, can try cloud catcher, they allow you to sample their beans on hand before you buy.

Yes and no, according to James Hoffman. tldr too fine = introduce channeling, poorer result than as compared to slightly coarser but less channeling.
