Hi guys,

I am planning to buy my first home espresso machine and grinder.

For espresso machine, currently I am considering the following model (Budget below RM3000):
1) WPM KD-210S2
2) WPM KD-270S
3) Gemilai 3200D

There is few question I would like to ask regarding to espresso machine:
1) Based on my own survey between KD-210S and KD-270S, the difference are KD-270S had milk temperature gauge and there is 3 Pre-infusion programs. Is it worth the additional RM 500 for this features?
2) KD-210S and KD-270S are both using twin thermoblock while 3200D was using duel boiler. May I know will there be difference in the quality of espresso and milk frothing?
3) Does anyone know who long does it that for Gemilai 3200D to start up and heat up before ready to pull a shot?

For grinder, currently I am considering (Budget below RM1500):
1) DF64
2) WPM KD-17N
3) Baratza Sette 30

There is few question I would like to ask regarding to grinder:
1) Does anyone know which is better between DF64, KD-17N and Baratza Sette 30 in term of maintenance and quality of grinding?

Thanks
