Kusje Supersonic June 17, 2015 Share June 17, 2015 thanks bought the machine and ordered the capsule from them. Now i wait.... Which machine did you buy? I saw that their "Americano" machine says 110V so I am a bit hesitant... bro got other lobang for CBTL capsules. Seem that the above link is not that good. What's wrong with that link? ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I pm you the contacts of the two salesman whom I directly ordered the last round. But it seems they are not responding, so I don't know if they are still working with Tiziano, or has it closed down. Last resort is buy original CBTL capsules. They are priced the same as nespresso from their coffee shop. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Bear Turbocharged June 17, 2015 Share June 17, 2015 there are OEM version online, less than $1 per capsule with more flavors (even have chocolate with diff flavor). wouldn't that make you coffee machine explode or the core meltdown? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kusje Supersonic June 28, 2015 Share June 28, 2015 CBTL machine only $139 http://list.qoo10.sg/item/CBTL-GSS-EXCLUSIVE-40-OFF-AMERICANO/427294557?selectedOptions=;; Problem with CBTL is limit capsule supply. But there's a 3rd party capsule, Ecaffe. I prefer this to my nespresso, even the highly rated Kazaar too http://tizianocoffee.com/product-category/capsules/ I have both machine, my wife mostly drinks from Nespresso, while I prefer my ECaffe from CBTL. So far tried two different brand for 3rd party nespresso, but still go back to original nespresso. Heads up to all. Coffee bean has a 2 for 1 promotion for their machines and the total price will be cheaper than qoo10 by some tens of dollars each. Only problem is that you have to find a buddy or put two machines in your house. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarPark8 3rd Gear June 28, 2015 Share June 28, 2015 I think for coffee machine, one must also to look at what pressure is applied to the coffee capsule. I understand Nespresso uses 19Bar. The pressure apparently is important when you buy the machine as it is the pressure that would unlock the coffee from the grounded coffee in the capsule. Hope this is useful 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pressure apparently is important when you buy the machine as it is the pressure that would unlock the coffee from the grounded coffee in the capsule. Hope this is useful Pressure is important, but I don't trust the manufacturer specs. I have the Nespresso pixie which doesn't extract as well as other models like the Citiz. Both are rated 19 bar. I suspect my pixie may not even hit 15bar. I also have the CBTL Contata, which imo has the best extraction despite the lower 15 bar spec. The coffee extracted from it has strong aroma and color dark. Maybe it's the bean, but you can taste the richness in it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anony Neutral Newbie September 22, 2015 Share September 22, 2015 Not really a coffee machine fan but recently helped my friend to purchase a brand new coffee machine from gumtree at a steal, more than 50% of retail price. Thought of sharing that instead of buying from the physical shop, you can do a search online. There are a lot of good bargains for brand new coffee machines! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
