CRM3007L

Drop the 3006. Go for 3003b if you rarely do milk-based drinks & allocate the rest of the budget to a good grinder. If you already have a grinder, 3006H is a good choice - dual boiler (thermoblock), PID & pre-infusion. Take a look at 3007L & Milesto as well (EM19-M4 specifically). Milestos are generally better built than Gemilais.

There are a ton of them, but very few are imported to the oversea market. WPM and Milesto have tons of cheap but powerful dual boiler/rotary pump machines. Wengougee is another trusted brand that's just testing the overseas market. Gemilai has been around for a while, at least with their rebranded ones like Turin Legato/Mii Coffee. Milesto is my personal favorite but unfortunately they are just not exporting at the moment. You can get a dual boiler/rotary pump machine for around ¥6000 (~ 850 USD) in China.

Great machine. Im using the Gemilai branded version with a Shardor 64 grinder. Just shy of 400 espressos made so far, and no issues whatsoever. And at the price point compared to what those drinks would cost out, it's already paid for itself.

Gemilai is good, just make sure na dual boiler. Tas invest the rest for a high quality grinder.

Yes I have a Gemilai :)

Happy birthday and congratulations for your coffee conner! Actually i also have a Gemilai one and looks really great ! https://preview.redd.it/zgnozo099eog1.png?width=569&format=png&auto=webp&s=3a2c13ae0a81716c436714a9c700fafc3fef719e

Basta no to Gemilai. Sakit sa ulo samin. Nakailang balik na unit namin for service sa service center nila. Nasa 10x na siguro. Isipin mo Lalamove fees mo roundtrip eh from Batangas kami.

Check website/shopee of Koryaiko or coffee district. They have Gemilai and Milesto brand espresso machines. They are chinese brands ng espresso machines kaya budget friendly for commercial use. Mga nasa 30k. Hindi pwede for business use yung mga home espresso machines, mabagal sila. And yes, mukhang need mo pa po muna magaral ng kape bago po kayo mabusiness. Wag po sana maniwala sa mga tiktok na mabilis lang magcoffee business at mabilis ang ROI kahit may ipakita pa silang Excel spreadsheet computation. Medyo madame na po nalugi. Madame na po rin kasi kumpitensya. As suggested before, try mokapot muna para maaral ang timpla using that. Mura lag naman mokapot. And may mgacoffee business rin na uses mokapot lang.
