espresso machine recommendations?

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

Meine erste eigene Maschine!

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

Looking for the best value I can get for a grinder and espresso machine [$700]

Breville Bambino Plus with either a Breville Smart Grinder Pro or DF54 Grinder. An absolute starter kit that leaves room to grow. If space is a concern, then Breville Barista Express Impress.

Breville Barista Express Impress vs KitchenAid Semi-Automatic [$500–900]

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

Can't decide between a dual boiler or heat exchanger? [4000€]

No issues. As I said before I’m not fastest person to make coffee. Here is my process. Turn on my machine. Let it heat. My machine can reach temperature about 12min but I just let it heat for 20min. It does not bother me at all because I did exactly same thing with my Breville barista express impres

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

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). We decided to do some c

Breville Barista Express Impress vs KitchenAid Semi-Automatic [$500–900]

The brevilles are reliabel machines that don't really do anything wrong. The grinder is not the best but it is good enough to make good coffee. Not sure about the impress part though, of all things in the workflow tamping is easy, so I would also look at the normal version. All these other brands tr

First coffee machine?

There’s a lot of factors to weigh up but I’d personally go for something like the Barista Express Impress, depends how much effort you want to go to for each cup but it’s probably a nice little balance between manual and fully automatic. There’s benefits to a separate grinder as someone else said bu

St Ali wide awake beans

I didn’t have the $$ to buy a machine worth $1000’s. I went to buy a more auto one and the sales woman was great and recommended the Breville BEI as I’d get a better coffee. I have loved trying out all the different coffees my subscription has sent. It’s really opened my eyes. Amending grinds, tempe

feeling discouraged

We’ve been using a Mini for years and it’s been great. It mostly satisfies my espresso needs (I drink espresso by itself) and I would maybe go get a real one at a coffee shop once a week. A month ago however, I bought a Brevilla Barista Express Impress, and I’m done with the gross bean water Nespres
