Delonghi magnifica evo. Bean to cup. … awaiting delivery.

Did have magnifica S. when I lived in uk. Was very pleased with

Will up did when I get too use it

Although I’m not familiar with the finer details of Delonghi machines, they have a fairly good reputation - I assume you can adjust the grind settings in which case start reasonably fine and adjust either way as necessary!!

Yes it has that function. Will take it on board your tip.

Thanks

I had a Siemens Bean to Cup machine that served me well for about 12 years, but when it finally gave up I bought a Sage/Breville Barista Pro - it’s a bit more hands-on but I don’t mind that as I enjoy a little tinkering!!

I look forward to receiving your report after you try it - what type of coffee machine do you have, as this (and the grinder) can make a huge difference to the finished product?

Just bought classic. 310 baht. And Arabica 260 baht. Good price.

Just need machine to arrive.

Ps they both smell great

I'll definitely try Anjana very soon. My Thai lady swears by a Thai brand which they sell in Makro but whenever we go there it's always already sold out! Very popular, can't recall the name as I didn't see it for so long.

Good thing about Anjana. They have a roast date not a sell by date. Like supermarkets

In supermarkets coffee could be one or two year old

Sure your wife will like anjana

Did Amazon deliver it to Thailand and if so did you have to pay customs duty?

[alanr]

Yes they deliver to Thailand. And yes had to pay custom duty. But still worked out cheaper

Also you get genuine product

Try to buy off lazada and got scammed They sent a pair of black socks lol. Not coffee machine

But I did get refund

There have been a number of reports of items delivered not being what was ordered, but a pair of black socks for a coffee machine must be the most bizarre!! Still by the sound of it, you’re now a happy camper (or coffee drinker)!!
