Coffee Machine

Personally, I think that based on what you've said, espresso isn't the way to go, because it's not a fast process. If you try to make it fast, and end up cutting corners, it gets bad quick. Bad espresso is BAD. There are a lot of other manual options such as pour overs or French press, but again tho

Need Help with the Best Drip Coffee Maker 2026?

Honestly, if you want something that just works and lasts, I’d check out the Breville BDC450 Precision Brewer. What I’ve learned makes a “best” drip coffee maker is: consistent brew temperature, even water distribution over the grounds, easy-to-clean parts, and durability. In my experience, the Brev

Ratio 6 vs. Moccamaster vs. something else?

I've only heard good things about the Moccamaster. I've got the Sage/Breville Precision Brewer (now called Luxe Brewer) and that's really good. Once everything's dialled in it's literally just fill up and press a button.

What are the best coffee makers for 2026?

I am looking to upgrade as well so I don’t have first hand knowledge, but I have my eyes on the Sage/Breville Luxe. It checks a lot of boxes with a removable water tank, insulated carafe with high volume, scheduled brew, one touch SCA brew profile, and a cold brew mode. It also has some advanced set

Best drip coffee maker

My Breville Precision Brewer is consistent. I can’t compare it against any other machine, but if a bean tastes bitter, I can grind coarser and it will be less bitter. It’s predictable and consistent. I bought it used 3 years ago, use it every single day and the only issue is it sometimes gives me an

What’s the best coffee maker machine right now that Coffee lovers currently love the MOST?

Had a Sage (Breville) Precision Brewer paired with a Wilfa Uniform for 2 years. It made good coffee and had enough customization to enable you to dial stuff in, but in my experience, the lid design on the carafe is absolutely atrocious and you cannot fully drain it, leading to coffee crust and mold

After 6 years of espresso, I’m throwing in the towel. The toddlers won... for now.

I cannot NOT recommend Breville Precision brewer enough unless they've actually fixed the lid and thermos "lip". You literally can't clean inside the lid and it becomes a mold factory. Wash the carafe, water stays stuck inside rim. Also, the "pour over" feature (which requires another like $30 acces

Puresteel Drip Coffee Maker

Considering the price of a Breville precision brewer or a Moccamaster, which both use plastic components and cost 300-500$, makes me think this would have to be closer to 1000$. Or it’s a Mr Coffee style machine with a fancy steel body.

[MOD] The Daily Question Thread

I had this issue with another SCA rated brewer (Breville Precision Brewer). I bought a refurbished and I am convinced I just got a lemon. I would guess you would have better results from another new ratio 4, but we may never know! Its frustrating because Brevill kept saying it was withing specs, but
