robsamui Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 I know it's been asked before and the last info was that Makro was offering them - the aluminium CONA style. Went there the other day and hunted to no avail. Anyone know where I can buy anything like this now? Even the plunger-type cafetiere would be fine . . . Or anyone got an ally CONA they don't use . . . I'll buy it!?? Thanks in advance, Rob. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdee Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 Bon Coffee on the ring road past the traffic lights at Bophut going towards Nathon on the left hand side, they have many styles i'm sure you will find something there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samuijimmy Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 (edited) Check Home Mart Chawang, next to Tesco... They had the electric drip makers there on Friday / Saturday... I think 1500 baht range... pretty high priced! ( I just happened to notice, while walking through that isle.) 10 cuppas around 3000 baht! As for the push down types, I think!!!! the Kitchen shop, just up from Tesco, in Nanthon has or had! ... been a while since I was in there. You might also try the other Kitchen ware shop going into Nanthon from Maenam way, just almost across from were the road comes out from the ferry... near the 7.11 (that is the first turning, not the one closer to the Mini Tesco.) Makro sells pretty decent coffee, if you do find a maker! See jdee posted same time, yes Bon Cafe might be a good place to try too!

Thanks Jimbo - I'll keep my eye out but I really wanted to find a percolator rather than a dripper. (That's what I'm doing at the moment and It's never good.)

joe84330 Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 hey rob i only use a french press because i've found that no matter when and if makro or tesco has a new shipment of coffee makers in, there are never any replacement parts for when someone drops the pot and i also don't think boiling water belongs anywhere near my coffee grounds. i'm quite familiar with percolators however i've never seen any on samui yet they are available nationwide in robinsons dept. store. my annual trek to penang almost invariably includes a stop at robinsons in hat yai to buy another french press, last year i was lucky and it was a 2 for 1 sale.

It's almost cheaper to got to Starbucks or other coffee shop and just bye ready made coffee or a a year, just not convenient! My Electrolux coffee maker is a pain in the neck it not set exactly right .... it all spills over the counter... Only thing I could find when I was looking 2 -3 years ago!

williamrobson Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 The photo you posted the Italian stove top type one i have seen them in the kitchen shop in nathon on the left about 50ish meters before you get to the big kassikorn bank. The better quality ones are made by bialetti and cost around 2-3 000 in thailand (remember seeing them in central shopping mall in bkk) however the one (of several they had in stock) i spotted in nathon about 6 months ago was a non brand one and was a 6 cup not a two. cost was 900b i think. good luck.

williamrobson Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 No problem. Just to let you know the non brand ones are made quite flimsy and i'm not sure how long it will last. Also they are cast aluminium so it wont work on an induction hob. All this talk of coffee made me dust off my Bialetti, makes good coffee but so strong any more than 2 and i start to get the shakes. Oh and if any one is interested i have Arabica Beans from Chiang Mai I get them posted direct from the farmer PM me if you fancy some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the shop that williamrobson mentioned is Chaokoh, just up from the 7-11 as you come out of Nanthon towards Maenam...(the newer road from the ferry) ....but turn right, back toward Nanthon, then 50 meters on the left.... on the ring road. (is that clear???) They have the one you pictured in two sizes, the larger one I am pretty certain was 550 baht... I just happen by there today and thought would check them out... (also there is a huge hardware store next door which you would never know was there, I think part of the same store... The Kitchen shop actually has some nice stuff in there... as to compared with some places... Also had the hand press coffee thingies too, but they were in the 1500 baht range...

Hope the coffee maker works out! Yes indeed that's Samui's very own department store AND for a long time it was the only building in the island with a lift! (But it's almost at the end of the main street by the Thai Farmers Bank) Chaokoh (opp ferry) runs right through to the middle road, as do several of these big old buildings. The seaward side is a run-down cafe, but the back end is a computer sales and repair shop. 2 beards it is! R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
