My fee is about $15. Not sure what it is and how they calculate.

I think its the admin fee from TNT to process GST.

guys, anyone here drink long black/americano or their derivation?

would using espresso based or filter( kalita ) base taste better? I prefer coffee type rather than tea type of flavor and usually what's the coffee-to-water ratio that you use ? Thanks

I use this one for my pour-over. Used to follow 1:13 or 1:10 but now depends on size of cup. Too lazy to measure.

I am using the Strega and prefer espresso with a bit of milk generally but there are some beans I prefer as pour/filter with this. Lately, I am experimenting with different cold brew methods. The taste profile is different even using the same beans and grind size.

I'm currently trying non milky coffee if it's ok to me. for the milk do you still frothe since you say you're adding a little to the shot? any ratio?

Have you tried also, black coffee with milk ? since alot of volume, so adding more milk perhaps will be making 2 cups for 2 pax lol. thanks

My most favorite is cortado. I have a small milk pitcher to froth milk just for this. Afternoon drinks can add a bit of baileys or nutella at the sides. Lazy mornings just add cold milk and you're good to go.

For black coffee or pour-over, you can try adding creap milk powder. This one is available from Donki. It's richer than normal milk and yet, you are not diluting the coffee at the same time.

Still only to satisfy commercial use folks. I'm more excited with more and more boutique makers making single dose, zero retention grinders with large sized burr (80 - 98mm), hope more will jump to the home users bandwagon grinder to make it more affordable for us for a end-game grinder.

OK la, not all home users want zero retention/single does grinder.

I'm lazy to weight every time I need to make. I Prefer hopper.

lol, your upgrade would be those that grind by weight grinder poison poison.


Actually thinking back the earlier days of espresso making, I didnt even have a scale and it was purely 'feel'. First grinder was a Mazzer Mini doser somemore. Guestimate few scoop of beans and brew by visual. When the flow starts to whiten instead of the deep brown then stop the brew.

Any recommended place to look for espresso cup with measurement lines?

 

[sseah12]

Detract a bit from main topic of machines..
Many may use the coffee cups from brands such as acme / loveramics.

Anyone had any success getting notneutral brand of lino cups apart from Jewel coffee?
I looking to get some of their new lino blue latte cups.. Thanks

Ha ha any burr size bigger than my current one is considered upgrade. Mine is 50mm. Slow but quiet. Ok lah, wait a few seconds more only.

Any good buys for coffee-related stuff during 11.11?

Looking to buy loveramics cups, decent funnel and tamper and maybe some VST baskets

This one is nice but a bit narrow for double shots.

cup sizes matter

For milk, personally I find Pura, Farmhouse, Greenfields and Meiji are ok to use.
I avoid Cowhead, Paul's, Marigold, and of course HL. All due to taste and/or are hard to get a good froth.
