For something under RM100, check out this KONKA semi-automatic coffee machine that's compact enough to fit on any kitchen counter or table easily. It's a drip filter type of machine that's said to take roughly four minutes to extract one cup of coffee.
It's pretty straightforward to use too, just pop the coffee powder into the filter, add cold water, and switch on the button. Other than coffee, the machine can also be used to brew loose tea. Win-win.

Shipping straight from South Korea, this elegant coffee machine is reviewed as a good beginner-friendly option, as it's not too complicated to use.
You can request for an English manual, however, take note that the plug follows South Korea's two-pin, so you might need to get your own plug adaptor if you want it to be three-pin.

12. BSBoss Espresso Machine | RM343 – RM372.96
Add a pop of colour to your kitchen with this dark teal and copper-coloured coffee machine! Also under the BSBoss brand, this machine has several reviews that it's just nice for beginners. The body, however, is said to be made of plastic, so if you're looking for something sturdier, you might wanna skip this one.
Other than that, the machine comes with a cup warmer, steam nozzle, detachable drip tray, and double layer filter, allowing you to make two small cups at a time.
13. INOQ Arden | RM270
Like the MORITZ model, this coffee machine also ships from South Korea, so do request for an English manual from the seller.
The machine doesn't come with a coffee grinder but you can purchase one separately. Although this is black, there are also other colours available. According to its description, you will need to use medium-sized coffee grind because if the coffee powder particles are too small, it may affect the machine while it's running.
14. Petrus PE3320 | RM309.90 – RM327.80
This retro-designed coffee machine serves a good cup using ground coffee. It has its own cup warming tray and a steam nozzle, so you can froth everything from cappuccinos to lattes and mochas.
It has a plastic finish so it's reviewed to be quite lightweight. But overall, customers share that the machine is user-friendly, especially if you're a beginner. How cute is the green though? <3
15. Gemilai CRM2008 | RM188
If you're all about black, this sleek-looking, mini semi-automatic coffee maker could be an option. It's not heavy-duty and gets the job done, especially if you're just starting out or don't want anything too complicated.
