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

The express is a semi auto which means diving into making espresso and learning to pull shots. The luxe is closer to automatic. With your budget and just starting out, you sort of have to figure out your end goal. The Ninja can be more hands off and create a greater range of drinks with less experim

What’s everyone’s “go to” latte art?

Lmao, whatever comes out. Most days I’m lucky if I get any milk to float on top (usually the milk just sinks to the bottom, despite looking decently textured after I steam it and even when I pour.) On a really good day, it’s this, and only because that’s all I can seem to do: I just like, wish that

Underwhelmed by the Bambino Plus [$1000]

I was thinking of getting a Bambino Plus but I have totally been put off any Sage (Breville) machines because I own a Sage Creatista Uno (Nespresso) and it is impossible to texture milk for latte art on the automatic milk function on any of the three settings. I assumed that the automatic milk funct

Upgrade time

I upgraded from a Bambino Plus to a Quick Mill Pop Up, and it’s been a major step up. I never felt like the Bambino got the best out of lighter roasts, even medium-light beans. The Pop Up has much better temp stability (you've got 1/2 liter of water at the right temperature and a lot of metal in the

Buying Advice Needed [~$1000-$2500]

Made a similar jump about eight months ago (Bambino Plus to a Profitec Pro 300) and have zero regrets. The temperature stability compared to Breville is immediately noticeable, especially if you pull shots back to back for guests. Since your wife wants a simpler workflow, the dual boiler is key. No

Flair Pro 2 or Breville Bambino? Which would you recommend?

Coming to this 3 years later, I did a side by side taste test (using the Bambino Plus to steam both cups) and the Flair Pro 2 produced a WAY better cup of espresso. I wouldn't say slightly worse with the Breville by any means. It's absolutely significant. It is drinkable? Sure is. It's about on par

Espresso Machine recommendation to pair with new DF54 grinder [$1500]

I’m going to suggest something a little different. Cafelat Robot Barista + Fellow Skagg EKG Pro electric kettle. It’s so simple to use, very forgiving, has an enjoyable workflow, and the espresso is amazing. I can easily pull 3 double shots in like 5 minutes total - all consistently good. It’s also

Howcome more machines don't have an automatic frother?

(By the way, you might want to let CoffeeGeek.com and Alternative Brewing know that the Bambino Plus doesn't produce microfoam, as each of them thinks it does. ;) (E.g. from CoffeeGeek: "The most impressive thing is it produces genuine microfoam, automatically . . ." https://coffeegeek.com/reviews/f

Underwhelmed by the Bambino Plus [$1000]

Bambino plus being lauded so much on reddit made me think twice about trusting reviews and advice on here tbh. I used it during a period of time when my breville dual boiler was being serviced . Also now own a LM micra. With both I can make 3rd wave cafe quality flat whites . Bambino is marginally b
