Barista Express Impress

Exakt, die ganze Epidermie mit den 'kalibrierten' Tampern ist eine Plage. Das wichtige ist zu tampen, bis der Puck halt gepresst ist und der tamper sich nicht mehr bewegt. Und das waagerecht, nicht schräg. Das kann jeder normale tamper, wichtiger ist eher Ergonomie und, dass weniger Luft zum Sieb se

Between the two of those, go with the Breville. KitchenAid is not a recommended brand on this sub. That said, all-in-one devices are generally not recommend here. You'd be better off going with a separate brewer/grinder, as it makes sure you don't have a half-functional machine when the built-in gri

Bes870 is pretty bloody good, I wouldn’t touch Kogan (for any appliance). Breville all the way

Ooowww, now this interesting! Seriously consider this before you decide! I have a profited go and a mignon sdp, and my good childhood friend, AND door to door neighbour (I live in an apartment building) has a breville barista express impress (the one with grinder and tamper).

As soon as I saw the pics, I thought you run home coffee machine museum hahaha. I can ask everything to you and you can give good answers without trying to buy new machine haha. I just upgraded from Breville barista express impress to HX machine. It will be my endgame machine so not too much interes

This is a sub of hobbyists with much higher standards than you have. You need to take the advice that actually applies to your goals. You don’t need an “excellent shot,” as defined by a hobbyist, you need to match coffee shop quality (which isn’t usually that great). Don’t over think it. I have a br

If you are coming from Nespresso one of the impress models may be better. While tamping on your own isn't hard it does take awhile to get used to. Additionally, tamping manually is a bit messier at times at invevitally you spill some grounds. Not a huge deal, but the self tamping machines avoid this
