Average good enough for beginner who just want daily coffee without a hassle at home but wont expect close to cafe standard.... you get standard thick foam for latte and cappuccino.

Why not get PHILIPS Poemia.... seem alot of ppl using here 

Your opinion on this?

Philips Saeco HD8323 Poemia at Harvey Normans for RM559.

You should also check out other home appliance shops such as Best Denki, AEON Jusco, etc.

One more thing: what grinder do you intend to use? I'm a Poemia user (and also classify myself as a coffee beginner) and I must admit the grinder seems to be a far more important component in your coffee kit. For example, I am still battling to get a consistent decent cup from the machine when depressurized. When pressurized I can also taste the difference between the grind that coming from my Feima/equivalent 600N and the Hario Skerton hand grinder.

Not worth it. It is toy machine. It is my first machine. I got one brand new set initial bought as a gift for my bro, but he had no interest in coffee. If u wan i can let go at rm 180.

No more 599 .....

1. Bodum Starbucks Classic Chambord press (the press mechanism all stainless steel no plastic part touches the hot water..take note some Bodum press at AEON/Parkson came with plastic nut screw)
2. double wall starbucks stainless steel press

Recommended for descaling? this is mineral based, not sure how it differs to other types of descaler, though

Lactic acid, same as Henkel.

so which one's better? lactic or mineral?

If you read the details from the Lazada link you quoted, it's lactic acid. I don't know where you see that it's 'mineral'? How could 'mineral' dissolve limescale?

ok for me..i use it on my superauto before...

Alright noted with thanks. Now to do some research.

I do notice that delonghi don’t seemed too popular at least in this Lowyat coffee thread lol

Is it really that bad?
