(GPGT)Espresso machine hoot

[wook2000]

can use this? or need to buy another type?

This is detergent, DO NOT PUT in the water tank/ reservoir

Cafiza is for back flushing the group head, soaking baskets, cleaning out stainless thermal flusk

For descaling, go Phoon Huat buy citric acid. A few bucks only, mix with water and put in the water tank

I highly recommend you use a product that is tried and tested for espresso machines. Can't go wrong with cafetto. Has to be food safe and diluted to the recommended concentrations so as not to damage your machine. Usually these descalers are citric acid based. I also recommend u you filter your water in future to prevent this.

Which espresso machines do you suggest for a newbie getting into the game? Should I get new or used?

 

[wook2000]

Budget? Drinking milk base or just espresso shots?

Anyone knows if there is anywhere we can get the 2019 Gaggia Classic Pro new in Singapore?

 

[linbeh]

They have a local dealer here right? No stock?

Oh they do? Sorry I wasn't aware.
Would you have a name of this dealer? I'm quite keen on the 2019 Gaggia Classic Pro as a gift.

Edit: found it! https://www.galoncoffee.com/online-store and yes, it's out of stock

Anyone tried the coffee from Fine Coffee Company? How is it?

 

[Morzenti]

I'm using their darker roast as my staple blend, Margo and something else.
Good bean size, thick crema and very smooth for a dark roast.

Hi! I noticed that coffee beans seem to be much more expensive here in Singapore as compared to US. What are some places that sell high quality beans here for cheap? Best I found so far is splendour coffee

$26 for 1kg is cheap but 50% robusta though. Do you drink it espresso or with milk?
