1st thing come to my mind is Rancilio Silvia!
Local prices on high side

Up budget can go for

Below 2.5 not the sweet spot of a decent machine unless u love to mod

Sorry, my bad! Yes, it's 250g.

Am brewing CREAM + Purveyor, 250g each makes up a nice RM 101 for the free shipping  tongue.gif
Used to brew Shipper Blend, but find myself enjoying Purveyor more at the same price.

As for Cream by THE ROAST THINGS, they usually have them only in small batches, and I have to contact the Bean Shipper guys for a reservation.

Overall, agree their beans are a bit pricey, but they do have a wider range of beans to choose from.

Cheers!

Agree we should form a team then we can taste all the beans that beans shipper offer us at the same time we can share our brew taste and correct the mistake... It would nice if everyone live near by .... haha  rclxms.gif
I was planing to get cream and purveyor too.... but seem cream sudah habis....  sad.gif but the name "milk killer" kind of grabbing my attention.... hmm.gif

Single shot. If u adjust the distribution depth deeper i dont even need to tamp the ground. I can keep my tamper away d. Very happy with the even leveling and espresso pull. Result more crema n no channeling compare with my regular tamper. Real smart invention for consistant pull, no need skill or practise to get nice pull

how does the thing work? just put on top of the porta filter? then? sorry noob here hmm.gif

Anyone interested in my Super Jolly? New grinder incoming.

Optimized for single dosing (chute flap and doser funnel installed).

[attachmentid=7967698]

[attachmentid=7967699]

With the Mini hopper and new burrs, which you don't need to season as it has seen some use, save you some beans. Still left 300+ kg in the burrs.

Bean retention is minimal, ~0.5g. The doser eliminates clumping and there is no need for WDT.

how much?

how much dose do you guys use for 2 shots normally?
here my details
1. i dose 17-18g - extract 36-40g espresso - 25s - into 8oz drinks - dry coffee puck
2. i dose 14-16g - extract 28-32g espresso - 25s - into 8oz drinks - wet coffee puck

for the 1st condition i need to tamp harder
for the 2nd condition i need to grind 1 notch finer and tamp light

does wet or dry coffee puck explain anything?
do u guys normally tamp hard? normal? light? no tamp?

My new grinder with a new batch of beans...It's quite a messy grinder but allows better control of the grind size compared to the built in grinder on my bes870.

Btw if anyone want to share the Ona raspberry candy beans with me let me know. Roast date 5th December. The aroma is wonderful!
*
how much did u buy the grinder?
i order the ona raspberry also. waiting for arrival. cant wait to taste it

The acidity level of the coffee is what gives the bitter taste, right?
Which variant would be more acidic -- arabica/robusta?
*
i think higher acidity = sour taste?

Recently I noticed that the coffee blend that me and my wife preffer do contain Sumatra Mandhelling beans.
I've tried all variants available through Beanshipper: Purveyor (our fav), BEAM, and the recent Palladium. They are good, but we will like to explore more.

I do see a lot of sites selling these beans online but are usually US, UK and AU sites. Since Sumatra is just next door, the fees incured for them to import to these countries and then deliver back to MY is just crazy (and the logic is cazy as well). Do you guys know any local roasters or indonesian roasters that do Sumatra Mandheling? Thanks!
*
i like purveyor too biggrin.gif
do u mind to share how does the palladium taste? thinking of getting it my next purchase
currently drinking driver by brew and bread. nice one also

Looks like a rebranded Bezzera with some customization... can't be sure just looking at photos... have not looked at machines for a while now...

These semi-pro machine all worked about the same with commercial parts...no worries... my machine and I are celebrating our 11 years soon...

Get a good grinder with it too...it's mandatory biggrin.gif

what machine u are using for 11 years already

Dear expert,
Can help to suggest a grinder for my pressurized espresso machine? Budget around RM500, newbie here

Thanks
*
from my experience, u dont need to worry much about grinder if it is for pressurized porta filter espresso machine. any grinder can do. as long as it meet your budget.

but if you want future proof and looking forward to upgrade to non pressurized porta filter, i think you need to look deep into which grinder is more future proof.
