I’m located in Southeast Asia, Turin or Gemilai as it is known here, is prevalent and relatively cheap compared to the Europeans, that’s for a reason. Have owned Gemilais in the past -3605 & 3145b. Gemilai machines look great and the features are good. However, the internals on them are not that great, plastic connectors and hoses, the pcb boards are not properly protected. 3-5 years down the road of heavy use I guarantee you, something will break. Longer perhaps if it’s home use, doesn’t matter which model. I’d choose the Quickmill over the Turin any day. If you must go chinese, look for the “Milesto” brand, these are the better made chinese machines. They’re not as pretty as the Gemilais but it has solid internals - brass & copper pipes & fittings. Milesto’s rotary pump lineup are better as well than Gemilai’s.
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.
