forget the civet crap.. its all "farmed" nowadays.

in olden days the civet used to roam free, eating only the ripe and best coffee fruits.. now they are locked up in cages and fed sub quality coffee beans for them to **** out daily... and that is sold as luwak now...

Actually starting my budget also not so high. Almost whack the Silvia and Rocky combo for $1.6k. Then I think think think, confirm few years down the road will upgrade one, so might as well save up more to buy a better one for long term.
This one I bought hopefully can last me till I grow old then pass down to my children as family heirloom lol.

As for kopi luwak, don't bother. Haven't you seen the video?

almost same thinking as me. wanted to get Silvia and Rocky combo also so i almost wanted to get a rocket giotto evoluzione v2 and a mazzer mini till i decided not too spend too much on a single product, so i at last i get a lever machine (with espresso i can make all kind coffee drink) and the rest you know it.

even if i cannot master a lever, i still get used back my titan grinder, and upgrade it to a much more consistent E61 espresso. this is why i love my pharos so much


other reason i did not spend to much is because i still got other thing to buy,

haworth very task office chair (recently got it. )

a new mobo and cpu only (was thinking about Asus TUF VANGUARD B85 About $199 asus websites say it 5 yr warranty, so not sure local distro give how many yr. if they give me 3 yr i will go amazon, and a i3 cpu) to replace Core 2 duo E6550 and my intel DF33FB mobo

a hi fi( MA silver 1 with denon X1000a/v and a sub(less then $800) with a sony 90 series TV.

@chikyblink.

share your grind bean.


here mine number 5 setting from zero point

sorry i am still looking for the correct grind setting for my lever.

do comment on my grind

Nice Pharos.

Pictures of the grind don't really tell much because at the end of the day it is still gonna be dependent on how your extraction is like and how the coffee tastes and you should adjust it based on that, including the dose.

The Lelit PL53 grinder. Stepless adjustment with conical burrs. Very very good grind quality that often beats other grinders twice the price.


Logo on the back. Italians dunno y like to put their logos on the backs of their machines.


My mini cafe

I can get this provided:
I can generate income with it.

Else my SO will kill me.

thanks, i am taking 1 step at a time, making sure i get every step right

 

[BrOwnTeddy]

BTW, anyone got any recommendation for a cheap and good expresso machine? I dun wan to make those fancy prepacked crap. I just want good ol' black expresso so that I can combo my own Mocha Latte ice blended.

Budget below $150. Thanks.

 

[Ghostleader5]

Hmmm...can i ask those pros here? Does the bean grinding process really affect much of the overall taste of the coffee?

 

[ParkJinYoung]

where do you plan to get your rocket giotto evoluzione v2 and mazzer mini? From papa palheta?

 

[chikyblink]

I concur. I own both an espresso machine and various pour over contraptions. I personally prefer pour overs/brew to espresso in terms of ease of use and the complexity of flavours (not saying you can't get equally interesting espressos).

what machine are you using?

Grinder can be more ex than the espresso machine at the entry level part.

Bro, since my Silvia is foc didn't really read much about espresso machine.
Just use this is OK? Then focus on the grinder only?
