QUOTE(lowkl @ Oct 26 2016, 11:48 PM) The BES870 is a pretty decent combo machine, with very positive feedback from owners and reviews. In fact, quite a few on this forum own one. Owning one, I'm also wondering what's the reason to upgrade....owning this machine for 6 months, I feel like I'm still learning something new every single day.I guess the question would be: what makes you want to upgrade? And your budget?  |

QUOTE(max_cjs0101 @ Dec 19 2016, 03:05 PM) Mine is something like this: I have one Delonghi pump espresso ECO 310 (http://www.delonghi.com/en-ca/products/coffee-espresso/coffee-makers/pump-espresso/icona-eco-310r---0132106088). If you notice the steam wand comes with an "air injector" so that you just dip the tip inside the milk and let it inject the air by itself. I took off mine and just do it the "manual" way, make sure the tip is just below the milk surface to get microbubble/fine bubble. It requires weeks of training (water + liquid dishwasher to practice).» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « By the way, where can i get Vietnamese coffee/beans in KL at a reasonable price? I love their mocha-butter taste which is always present in the coffee. I am not sure whether your model could do the same thing or not (detach the air injector and do it manuall). Perhaps you could also refer to some youtube videos. |

QUOTE(d33pbluez @ Jan 17 2017, 11:10 AM) Seriously you want to buy that grinder ? Thanks for sharing your opinion...budget kinda low now and probably will not buy it for now... , I had no offense on the grinder and it is a good beginner grinder....but Generally the moto kind of weak, i tried it with some of the beans sometime ago and the grinder would get stuck when grinding due to the weak moto that cant chew up those hard beans....never had problem with my gaggia MDF though |

QUOTE(raist86 @ Feb 21 2017, 12:19 PM) Anyone keen get the breville barista express machine? Am contemplating to switch up to the Dual Boiler as i feel that i've hit the ceiling but the finance minister decreed that old must go before new can come. Mind to share how long have you been using it and how about the warranty? Just curious if any of my friends happen to ask me about second hand machine. |

QUOTE(kenlui @ May 31 2017, 08:56 PM) Finally this has arrived. Fuhhhhhh.....mine to share what's the total damage and where did you purchase these beauties?[attachmentid=8863125] Still getting used to the more powerful steam wand. Anybody knows why why i'm getting a less silky milk compared to my old delonghi? There is only very minmal foam on the top of milk, temperature is actually already higher than the 50-60 degrees range. I'm thinking it's my angle issue. |

QUOTE(kenlui @ Jun 1 2017, 09:46 PM) Bought the grinder 2 years back from eciatto from 2k++, as for the coffee machine, it's a special deal from a friend who is in the coffee line as it was a display set, so I can't disclose the price but let's just say it was really worth it. Thanks for sharing Just checked, it's a 2 hole wand actually. Wand is a bit loose though, don't know if that affects. My friend ask me to tighten it myself but can't seem to tighten it. Will probably get it checked during the 6th month service.  |
