I miss being able to make delicious espresso and latte at home since moving back to Taiwan…
My place is limited in space, and I don’t feel like dropping more than NT$10K for an espresso machine. It seems that espresso machines are way overpriced in Taiwan, and selections are limited. Does anyone know any machine within my budget that is capable of making good latte art? Or do I have to increase my budget?
I love my Moka pot ! Very cheap and you can make excellent coffee in very little space. Cheap coffee machines are complete garbage, you will regret it! Buy a Moka pot, you will not regret it!
Moka top stove coffee maker here. I’m so fond of it that I even take it on trips and even hikes.
I too have been looking into getting espresso machines and there are cheap options that if they have anything close to the pressure needed for making espresso, they will eventually die… Reportedly sooner than later. The pumps used are shit, apparently.
Another moka user here. I think we bought the small one from Amazon.de, and brought the larger one from Spain. They’re overpriced here.
Sometimes i bring specific machinery from Canada to here. Maybe bring your favourite espresso machine here?
Currently I use an AeroPress to make fake espresso and a French press-like device for milk frothing. While the coffee tastes okay, the milk foam is not good enough for latte art… I cannot use a stovetop moka pot as open flames are not allowed in my building.
You can use an induction Moka pot something like this, Maxcelia瑪莎利亞｜嵐寧摩卡壺｜MX-0130MM｜陳鴻代言推薦 | citiesocial | 找好東西
Not recommending that special one just this concept. You can also use a normal Moka on a normal induction heater with a metal adapter.
They won’t know.
Can’t recommend anything — I was also casually looking recently but nothing caught my eye unless I wanted to frivolously spend a lot on something closer to the professional end that I don’t really have the kitchen space for — but just to note that the Costco one is also available on the Philips website for NT$3,500 less.
Might be worth looking on Coupang too.
If you look at your screen carefully, this one says “no no b no by”. Which is probably not a good sign. If it were a good buy, it would probably say “yes yes buy yes buy” or something along those lines.
That is a residual error from
When I first got my iPhone. I find it to be hilarious .
Like this?
That’s a 404.
No, it’s a 410, specifically an F410S. 
The link.
A single-cup coffee maker? I suggest a grinder and either an Aeropress, French press, or Hario Switch. Easy peasy.
Like a hand press? No thanks.
The Phillips is the one I saw that covers everything we want out of it. I just want a good cup every time
Not some
New activity. 
Not a hand press. An Aeropress, a French press, or a Hario Switch. Take your pick which of the three is most interesting to you. They’re pretty foolproof. You do need to buy decent beans and a decent grinder though.
