You put all the coffee into the hopper?

If you do, you need to dump the first few g before you make your first cup as those are coffee retained from the last use and badly oxidized.

sounds like a natural processed coffee! you got the LWW bean cellars?

Yeah I bought it soon after they came out. I've been looking for something like this for a while. Since I roast my own coffee and single dose, I figured this will be perfect for me. Before then I would reuse my old coffee bags for the one-way valve...

I look at their website, it says 250g espresso and 250g filter.
Different roast?

The website is a little confusing.

It is indeed stupid to use a coffee machine to do instant coffee but indeed it is.

One is using soluble instant coffee. Another is using coffee grounds.

Seems both use high pressure but i'm not sure what benefit would be using high pressure for soluble instant coffee.

why not consider a dolce gusto. its cheaper than nespresso but uses coffee grinds. I have a nespresso and a dolce gusto but i prefer the cheaper dolce gusto.

why not try a sample if they have a cart or roadshow. trust your taste buds.

Then go to a good cafe and try some excellent coffee beans. you might just want to save up to get a semi-pro machine and grinder instead after that.

jit bai xiao liao!, based on your explanation, the nescafe gold barista is a no go lor? nespresso use coffee grind in the form of capsule lar, i guess i m torn between gold barista and nespresso, gonna decide it after i find out more between the two, i am not really going into grinding my own beans, that is for sure. just wanna have a sip maybe one cup everyday, that is the most. ok, i am also considering dolce gusto as well.

Nespresso don't need to grind your own beans
Slip 1 cup of coffee a day, qns for u is slip good coffee or slip any coffee?
Just coffee why buy go kopi Diam can buy already.
Want a good cup then invest and make your own.
Really depends on need.

If u want the best bang for the buck, get a porlex or similar copy grinder, plastic 1 cup v60, filter papers and 1 bag of speciality coffee roasted for filter brew between 7-14days old. Use kettle from home to pour over. Should be less than $100 bucks.

The next best ROI is knowledge. Read some stuff online and buy some books.

Huat I mean is personal taste lar. People are different for sure. Some like coffee, some like alcohol, some like tea, even they like now doesn't mean they don't change taste wor. Anyway big chance I m going for the barista

This is French drip? Not for me, I need the high pressure to bring out the coffee taste lar. Lol. BTW, I m more towards getting the already grind coffee. Less hassle with grinding and equipment lar. Lol

That is my preferred choice, which is not to grind the bean. Just get ready made like nescafe gold blend package lor. And also keep it airtight and consume within the stated period. My only particular with espresso coffee is the equipment that give the high pressure water to bring out the aroma, not so much on the grinder. And also won't be bother with coffee art. Won't be bother with frothy also lar.
