gemilai 3605 is an entry espresso machine.... suitable for new learner. It uses 58mm porta filter which is the same as many enthutiast or pro machine.

WPM zd 16 grinder ~rm800

Df64 grinder ~rm1500 (good reputation as in good grind quality)

Depends on your budget..... there are a lot of video on youtube comparing these machine and grinder.... choose 1 that fit ur budget and enjoy the greatness of fresh coffee..... brows.gif

Backflushed grmilai 3605 and the portafilter holder was burst and broken. Hmm. Did it by watching YouTube. Not sure how it burst due to the pressure.Just got this machine 1 week ago sad.gif

Any suggestion where to fix this?

bring back to the shop u purchase for warranty? backflush should be quite standard maintenance and should not break the machine afaik.... and machine should be able to withstand the pressure also...
