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

Best espresso machines to buy in 2026? [$500]

Breville barista express often goes on sale for $500. It’s an all-in-1 that still makes great espresso. Or get the bambino and a good grinder

Canadian Coffee Roaster megathread?!

Big vote for Ottawa's Birch Bark Coffee, available by shipping or in some retailers -though I find their ahhhhmazing Indigenous espresso roast can be unpredictably hard to find. It's the perfect bean for our breville barista express - ideal shot every time. Also shout out to my local roaster Propell

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.

I just want a simple, daily driver espresso setup at home [$700]

You’re right, they are using $6,000 grinder (jk) but they are probably using a commercial grinder and it’s probably around 3k or more. If you don’t want a fussy grinder do not get a df. If you are going for more traditional espresso and want simple efficiency, go with a eureka grind by time, dial it

Do that many people really have almost 7k to spend on a machine?

“Just as good” depends on your uses. I used to have a Breville Barista Express, which makes pretty damn good coffee for around $600. But I host a lot of gatherings where a bunch of people want coffee drinks, and the Barista Express is not great for pulling multiple shots, and it also take a lot long

Good coffee maker for better coffee at home?

Breville barista express best purchase i ever made for my kitchen. Had to troubleshoot once when a tube got clogged, but it's been a gamechanger for 10 years.

Two month review with the Oracle Jet

I’ve had a Barista Express, Barista Pro and now have used an Oracle Jet since March 1, 2026. This is definitely my favorite iteration of the Brevilles and I would absolutely buy it again. The good: It’s mostly automatic. You already know that. But there is a tremendous convenience in teeing it up to
