Deinfluence me: Espresso Machine

Lets look at the cons based on my exp with a Breville Barista Express. ● mahal ung mga filter tablets. 1k ata per pack/ 6 pieces. ● aside sa matagal ung final product, you have to clean it every time you use it. Otherwise, may build up, may amoy, and pests can enter. ● the machine has a grinder, per

Boat life espresso? [$1,000]

Moka pot is where it’s at for a liveaboard situation. I live on a boat part time and also have a french press (for cold brew mostly) and Nespresso (horror of horrors, apologies to this sub). The moka is the one I use most. Also it was ~$30, is compact, I can still use my fancy beans, and not need a

I'm in need of a new coffee machine!

I HIGHLY rate the Breville Bambino. It has higher pressure steam than my parents Barista express, produces great coffee once dialed in and takes up significantly less room. You will wanna get a seperate portafilter and tamper because the ones the come with are trash. It’s also pretty light so takes

Barista Express/ Impress or La Specialista Opera? [500-620 USD]

I have no idea about wattage converting or warranty claims in south east Asia but out of these two machines the Breville is higher quality and will make better coffee. That said, as someone with a Breville Barista Express, if I were purchasing an entry level espresso machine again I would get a Brev

At This Price, Nespresso Is Getting Hard to Justify

Actually, I started by grinding my own beans, pero French press and drip coffee lang. I was really close to buying a Breville Barista Express when it was still 40k+ before the pandemic, but we ended up choosing the Nespresso Lattissima Touch because it could already make lattes, it was more convenie

Sage Barista Pro (built-in Baratza grinder) – worth upgrading to a separate grinder?

I did almost like you did for my first setup I got a Breville Infuser and Baratza Encore ESP pro. Reason why I got the Infuser over BBP (Breville Bambino Plus) is because I wanted the expresso machine with PID controller for brewing temperature control so I could dial in all kinds of roast and it’s

Another day, another shot

It has high retention and also doesn’t grind as uniformly as other standalone. When I had the breville barista express I purchased a niche grinder and it made the coffee much better.

Breville vs Ninja [Budget between $500-$700]

OP: Absolutely go the separate machine and grinder route , if you’re going for the Breville and not ninja. You’ll get a much much better grinder if you buy a bambino and let’s say a Baratza encore ESP than you would if you get the barista express. Also, all in one machines are great when all element

Need Help Choosing Coffee Machine☕️☕️

I had an older Barista express and found the grinder mediocre, inconsistent and ultimately unreliable as it eventually died and we got a Baratza Sette grinder as a replacement before then replacing the Breville. The newer ones may be better - this was over 10 years ago. I then moved to a Dual Boiler
