Hi all coffee Sifu...

I'm a newbie here... drink pretty much espresso.....

my krups 5200 series just dead on me after serving me for 4 years, need an replacement....

was looking for Gaggia Classic.... then this Phomia and EC156 both attract my attention... but the portafilter haunt me a little....

so, may i know if what is your suggestion ?

was thinking to get a EC156+naked portafilter, i know this is like fixing a honda accord engine in proton chassis...

anyway, would really appreciate your input....

am from JB, Breville 870 is asking for 3800RM in JB... what the.....

so, please sprinkle your holy water, i need your enlightenment
