I've been using a Weber 6492 Original Instant Read Thermometer for the past 3 years. Bought it from Amazon when I was in US. Cost less than $10 which is relatively cheap for a digital, compared to the ones that were available here 3 years ago. Still working great.

Perhaps if you have a friend coming back from US or look for forwarding services (I think there are some here in LYN), can consider this.

So glad I found this thread.

I love drinking flat whites and usually get it from a cafe near my office. Now that I work from home a lot more often, I have been making instant coffee in the morning. Been thinking of trying to make my own flat white at home but don't want to invest too heavily in a high end machine.

I came across the nespresso machine which boasts up to 15-19 bars of pressure and costs a fraction of the price. I could even get those reusable pods and fill it with different coffee beans until I find one I like.

My question is, how much more worse is the espresso pull from a nespresso machine compared to the ones that are being discussed here? Is the nespresso gonna give me super subpar flat whites?

Was considering the V60 and moka pot as well. But for moka pot I only found one pricey one which is compatible with my induction cooker.

From what I gather I will need to get a pouring kettle, a grinder and a weighing scale along with the v60? Anything else I missed?

I've tried the aeropress before but somehow didn't enjoy the coffee.

just got this 3D printed.
