Gemilai CRM3605 Italian Coffee Machine Unboxing & Review

[@nordinwan]

I was looking for a new coffee machine to replace my old one. Thank you for the 3 machines you reviewed and you have made my decision making process much easier. Watching your video was fun!

[@TaufulouChannel]

🥰🥰 thanks for your positive feedback. hope it help you out

[@nurnikmanabdkadir3118]

As a rancilio machine user at my workplace pantry la😆 this is quite impressive!! Im planning to buy this for my own.. appreciate ur review!

[@TaufulouChannel]

wow what a nice work place. got Rancilio. Hope suites your usage.

[@johncooper9098]

Thank you for the excellent reviews. I was going to buy the Gemilai but now I am not so sure. Did you end up keeping the Gemilai? If so how have you found it long term? Did you sell the Petrus which you said was easier to use and more consistent? Thanks again

[@odddingaming3346]

Sy suka cara penyampaian kamu..dengan ini.. sy subscribe channel anda..skrg jgk sy beli mesin ini.. hahahahha

[@TaufulouChannel]

Hahaha terima kasih atas comment positive. Menghargai support kamu ❤️❤️

[@sweethawzcakesandpastries7587]

for steaming . did u use cold milk or just a room temperature milk? . hope u notice 😊 thank you

[@TaufulouChannel]

hie hie. i use mostly fresh cold milk. for the same brand i am using, farmfresh - the consistency is there. did use box milk before. just that the steaming makes the froth is longer for cold milk hope this helps

[@jhonnafg]

How does the espresso shot quality and milk steaming compares to petrus? Im looking for a home machine and petrus seems really interesting, but Im torned if i should jus go for this directly. Thanks for all your videos please keep making them!

[@TaufulouChannel]

I personally think Petrus is much easier to handle for first time user. I am happier with that. Espresso n steamer so quite consistant Gemilai is more sensitive. Its more like a entry pro series. If the espresso grind is harsh or too fine then the extraction of espresso is challenging. Hav to callibrate n best if hav own grinder Just my personal thought. F

[@jeffreyryan4908]

Really appreciate your review! Thanks bro! Getting this machine! 😊

[@TaufulouChannel]

glad that its helpful for you

[@raynaj8442]

I have this machine and also had the same problem with the frothing. That's why I'm here to see how's yours. Hmm

[@TaufulouChannel]

Ic. I guesss this is how the machine is working. Strong then soft. Cuz i see other video . They didnt show the inconsistancy

[@leia916leia]

Hi... thanks for sharing. Have you tried Delongi ...that ranged in about Rm600-700..

[@TaufulouChannel]

Hi hi. So far hav not try that range yet

[@thedumone3598]

the portafilter not being able to be 90 degree straight is normal becuz its new le if you use more time it get easier to put in

[@TaufulouChannel]

Yup agree with 90 degree. Didnt know that previosly and after ask seller undetstand. Thanks for the tips

[@starryklk]

I am contemplating in buying an Expresso machine. I need your opinion as to which is better between the Petrus PE3690s and the Gemilai CRM3605.

[@TaufulouChannel]

Hi Albert, i have not try PE3690s. planning to buy from China in? If you do have basic barista skills i guess you can opt for GEmilai CRM 3605. just that its abit sensitive on the grind size. i also ended up getting a grinder to match it

[@jingxiangtan4613]

How does the espresso taste? I have a cheap machince from a few years back and looking for an upgrade. Hope that you will reply !

[@TaufulouChannel]

So far so good for espresso. Only issue is sensitive machine. To reach perfect espresso need to hav right grind size. Best to hav a grinder. I bought a few times online espresso grind. Not compatible. Ended up get a cheap grinder

[@hsiangju1978]

Any good coffee grider can be recommend? Gemilai coffee machine looks solid. Kind of like it.

[@TaufulouChannel]

the machine indeed feels pretty solid. for the kind of price with the material, i think its a perfect match. for grinder i am not too familiar. depending on your budget. I started off now with this. kzbin.info/www/bejne/nHXEcmemhryCeq8

[@haniffomar6863]

How long to make frost milk like this??

[@TaufulouChannel]

If its cold milk 60-75sec. Room temperature - 30-45 sec

[@vaughnwilliams1208]

No pressure gauge moving means the coffee grounds are not fine enough 😊

[@TaufulouChannel]

Correct. Learn that along the way and asked the seller. Thanks for sharing this also 🤛

[@suelim876]

Ya. Is it a problem if the pressure meter not has no movement at all?

[@TaufulouChannel]

Yup it means the espresso grind size is not right. The meter need to go up to like 11.30am postion to get the best extraction

[@mannee3084]

i’m looking for a coffee machine for home user, This Gemilai 3605 compare with Jass automatic 19 bar, which is better ? Seek your advise, pls. TIA 😊

[@TaufulouChannel]

hey man nee, i am sorry,. Dont think i can answer your question accurately cuz i have not test that machine before. but for first time user and no exp i think Petrus PE3320 is a good choice. if you have little exp then this Gemilai is a great machine to start off with. Cuz I see alot ppl eventually upgrade 1 or 2 years later. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gZavc5qcdqyomdk

[@น้ําเย็น-ฦ6น]

Very good bro.thank you.

[@TaufulouChannel]

Thanksss

[@karlsondickman5217]

Did you figure out why the pressure gauge seems off?

[@TaufulouChannel]

yup did figure out. its a very sensitive machine. Espresso grind not match, thats why the pressure gauge could not go up. thats how i ended up geting a cheap grinder to start off with

[@xiaowenloo8981]

Which is the best u recommend?

[@TaufulouChannel]

If you are beginner i would recommend petrus. Cuz eventually u will upgrade. Gemilai is abit more sensitive. Espresso extraction not consistant if grind size not correcr

[@thedumone3598]

eh your latte art not bad but i think you should increase flow rate from the pitcher

[@TaufulouChannel]

Still learning to catch it

[@thedumone3598]

also ah the coffee grind is everything too coarse is sour too fine is bitter have to fine the perfect in between you have to experiment with grind size alot

[@TaufulouChannel]

This big h3adach3

[@TzeYangMoey]

Was wondering if you have made any calibration on the machine prior of the espresso extract? As mine came out kinda watery after 25 seconds of extraction

[@TaufulouChannel]

Yes i did. I learn from abother guy use 20g espresso grind. The quite near there. Watery also means the espresso ccoffee u got its still nquite harsh powder

[@groberti]

Hey! Nice vid! Btw how is this Italian? I think it is a Chinese company producing this

[@TaufulouChannel]

hey hey. thanks for watching. indeed it is a China Company that produce this. The headline I am just following what they put in marketplace

[@dzulhelmi81]

Bro, I just got the machine. But still working on the grind size. What grind size you use or type of ground coffee you use? My espresso still cair like water 😭

[@TaufulouChannel]

ahhh. which grinder you got?

[@dzulhelmi81]

@@TaufulouChannel I don't have a grinder yet. Currently just use ready made ground coffee

@@dzulhelmi81 u can try another supplier. If that happens again means the grind size not ngam. I ended up got my own grinder. But also hav to calibrate a few times

I brought ,but not working ,is auto come out 100 ml . can't make the espresso as per video , don't know what is the problems

[@TaufulouChannel]

Errmm 1. Could be espresso grind size not correct. 2. Is the espresso extraction auto set at 25 sec?

[@HowBeingCut]

How long need to wait the machine to be ready for 2nd glass coffee?

[@TaufulouChannel]

actually quite fast. after you ask this question i just did it. after make my 1st glass, then let the machine reset about 20 seconds then ready to go. from froth back to espresso also fast

[@HowBeingCut]

@@TaufulouChannel Thank you very much 👍

[@chanjoey85]

Hi hi! I just bought this 3605, the first few cup of espresso was okay. Just to check how long do you wait for the machine to be ready for use? At first I waited few minutes then can use, but after a few day the hot water didn’t come out from the espresso water dispenser after I press the coffee button.. I need to press two three times only the water will come out…

[@xab.2386]

What is the size for portafilter?

[@TaufulouChannel]

its 58 mm

Tq for the complete review.. appreciate it..considering to buy..

[@TaufulouChannel]

Thanks for watching 💪

[@enzuki]

This has nothing to do with this machine. But what do you think about the Gemilai CRM 9009? It's my first time buying an electric burr grinder and it's about near my budget, as I've seen online that you shouldn't skimp on a grinder.

[@TaufulouChannel]

Oh, that machine was in my cart previously. I ended up got another grinder. which is bout the same price. I have a friend is using the grinder you mention. she said its not bad. serve the purpose she wants. Agree, thats what a few barista told me. grinder is more important than machine.

[@enzuki]

@@TaufulouChannel Alright thanks! I'll probably get that grinder then, as I'm tired of using a manual grinder and it'll have a better consistent grind.

[@TaufulouChannel]

@@enzuki hahah i started off with that. i got tired, then got a small auto. too slow. now using a beginner entry lvl grinder.

[@farruqazwan9654]

How about quality esspreso gemilai vs petrus

[@TaufulouChannel]

I find that Petrus is more consistent for starter. Gemilai is a sensitive machine even espresso machine grind size not accurate then the extract is not nice. bought a few packs of espresso grind from online seller ended up i got my own grinder for this. still learning to adjust just my personal thought. u can ask other owner if there is a fb group

[@joleau1]

Oh good thing I didn’t get gemilai. 😅 My friends and so many say it’s so good lol. I too prefer simple n easy machine.

[@TaufulouChannel]

oh ya. for simple 1 get the petrus. thats like easiest and higly recommended

[@rishabmohan8922]

Why didn’t the pressure gauge move?

[@TaufulouChannel]

High chance your pressing of espresso is not tight. Try put in 18g or 20 g espresso. If it is not moving then wrong grind size of espresso

[@KimberlyGiroud]

It is reallly hard to lock the basket i cant manage to lock it

[@TaufulouChannel]

dont lock it too hard. when i first had it, it cant be pulled to 6pm (direction) only point towards 7pm/8pm direction. after using for 5 months, only manage to go till 6pm direction as the lock there is still new. it takes time. that was advise from my seller.

[@AhKenChannel]

@@TaufulouChannel while i saw from other video, they said actually don't focus on the 6pm direction, as long as it is firmly locked then is ok

[@TaufulouChannel]

Correct. Cuz at that time i have not gotten the grip of it. As long tight is okay. New machine wont be able to push to 6pm

[@nickyau2217]

Hi, can share the feedback of the issue you have highlighted to the seller for this machine?

@@TaufulouChannel how many seconds did the petrus take to extract the coffee?

[@TaufulouChannel]

@@raynaj8442 ​ when i got it already preset 25 seconds. best to have it around 25 sec to 30 sec. personal thought. of course when it is perfect espresso shot at this time. If your espresso flow too fast then it is not right

your review very funny lah the way you talk hahaha

[@TaufulouChannel]

haha thanks

[@TeaJay]

@@TaufulouChannel i just bought this machine. but everytime i unplug it, the time keeps resetting it back to 15 seconds (not the factory default time at 25sec). do i have to leave the machine plugged in 24/7? i dont want to reprogram the timer every day...

HHhahah yes. Sort off. Luckily not ffresh

[@temuling1]

Petrus is complete trash. I used it only several times after the Petrus heating element breakdown. I recommend don't buy cheap things like Petrus.

[@suelim876]

Another weird problem I faced was my coffee ground stuck up there after I remove the portafilter.

[@TaufulouChannel]

Thats common. Happens to me at times.
