anyone else feel like Bay Area rent is just a subscription fee for nice weather at this point

I got a Breville Barista Express over a year ago and it has paid for itself twice over; 3-4x over if I was getting a $7 coffee daily. Plus, the cortados I make for myself, and the lattes I make for my wife, are better than most of the ones we’re getting out and about. Bonus was that I got it on sale

There goes my backpay...

As an officer and understanding this is a joke but not being able to let it slide… that’s too expensive for a Breville. The barista express is all you need and the touch screen/automation aspects actually make the machine worse. No high end machines are automatic. At work we have a $5k Jura automati

PSA: Breville warranty & customer service are not what you expect

Relative to actual BIFL options, Breville is very cheap. BIFL espresso machines are in the range of $1.5k to $5k, and BUFL espresso grinders are in the range of $600 to $1.5k. The Breville Barista express is a full espresso machine with built in grinder and is “only” $700. So a Breville bean-to-cup

Coffee at home

Breville Barista Express is the standard go-to for home espresso/coffee making. Buy your favourite beans and enjoy. Takes a bit of practice getting the right grind to water ratio but it’s worth it in the long run

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.

Your essential purchases for surviving residency?

Espresso machine. Recommend Breville Barista Express. Espresso shot on the way out the door is clutch in the morning (or pre night shift) and faster than making/drinking a regular coffee imo. A little pricey but pays for itself if you otherwise buy coffee/espresso drinks regularly and also fun to ex

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

Who else thinks Nespresso is getting to be too much money.

That’s one of the problem with those breville machine with integrated grinders, the grinder kinda sucks so it’s a bit harder to dial in beans properly because it’s a bit inconsistent. It’s also hard to justify paying 300$+ for a okay grinder when you already have one on yout machine. But if you want

Things I waited embarrassingly long to buy that quietly fixed problems I’d stopped noticing

Breville Barista Express, stopped going out for coffee and the Breville is top notch and makes a mean cup of coffee.

What’s wrong with the integrated grinder? [Breville Barista Express]

It’s the second item - precision adjustment. The BBE has large ‘steps’. Steps are the settings of your grinder that you see on the side of the machine. The issue is you may pull a bitter shot at 7, but a sour shot at 8 and you’re out of luck to dial in further using grind size. That being said I use
