I thought buying a coffee machine was all I needed for “coffee freedom”…
Then I realised—the machine is just the beginning. 😂 There’s a whole world of coffee gear waiting after that!
If you’re new to home coffee, here’s roughly how much you might need 👇
1️⃣ Coffee Machine|RM300–800
Beginners don’t need an expensive machine. There are plenty of options in this range for learning espresso, milk frothing and enjoying café-style coffee at home.
2️⃣ Accessories|RM120–340
Once you have the machine, the temptation begins 🤣
⚖️ Digital Scale|RM50–150
For measuring coffee dose & brewing ratio.
🔨 Tamper|RM30–80
For more even and consistent tamping.
⭕ Dosing Ring|RM20–60
Keeps coffee grounds from spilling everywhere.
🧹 Cleaning Tools|RM20–50
Makes daily cleaning much easier.
3️⃣ Coffee Beans|RM30–100 / 250g
This is the real ongoing expense 😂
Different origins, roast levels and flavours… eventually you may start experimenting with grind size, dose and extraction too. ☕️
But you DON’T need everything from day one!
Try upgrading step by step 👇
STEP 1️⃣ Start with capsules
STEP 2️⃣ See if you enjoy making coffee at home
STEP 3️⃣ Add a grinder & explore ground coffee
STEP 4️⃣ Slowly upgrade your accessories
That’s why a 2-in-1 machine like the Faber Vintage-S is beginner-friendly—it works with both ground coffee and compatible capsules.
💊 Busy weekday? Use a capsule.
☕ Slow weekend? Grind, tamp & froth your own coffee.
The dangerous part isn’t buying the coffee machine…
It’s realising how many things you suddenly want AFTER buying it. 😂
