Barista Pro

I have the Breville Barista Pro (similar machine), I love it. Got it at TJ Maxx for 50% off and have no complaints, makes a great espresso. Grinder is perfectly fine too. I’m not an espresso nerd by any means, I just want a good shot, and it does exactly that once you get it dialed in.

I have a Breville Barista pro, and I get milk drinks better than 90+% of cafes (to my tastes) out of it, and thats with an integrated grinder which this sub generally doesn’t like at all. I also love the straight espresso that i can get out of my machine, it's balanced and I don't find I have that m

Bambino to Breville Barista Pro is not an upgrade. Performance between these two machines would be virtually identical and you'd be losing the convenience of instant heat-up with the Bambino and its smaller footprint. Your issue is the pre-ground coffee you're putting into your machine. A Bambino pa

You just need a Breville Barista Pro or even an Express. Perfectly fine and inexpensive either way. Just use fresh roasted beans, not store bought junk.

Machines with built in grinders are almost always a mistake. If you insist on one, Breville Barista Pro is by far the best of them, much better than the DeLonghi you linked. But for a similar price you can get a Breville Bambino or Bambino Plus with a good grinder such as a DF54, which will be a muc

I have a breville barista pro and a keurig in my Airbnb. I include a QR code to a short tutorial, a bag of fresh beans from my favorite local roaster, and some Kirkland brand whole milk boxes (the juice box horizontally style ones) in the fridge. I get so many great reviews around the espresso machi

Run, run away from this machine as fast as you can. It is a cheap Chinese knock-off and should be avoided. The ridiculous claim of $2195 price means the vendor is not reputable and can not be trusted. At your budget, you could get a Breville Barista Pro, which is arguably the best machine available

Most machines like this include a pressurized basket. This allows you to use any grind of coffee and get an espresso like drink but itll be bitter and nowhere near as good as proper espresso. For my first espresso machine I managed to pick up a used breville barista pro for 280AUD and have seen many

Definitely go with a Breville. They are very reliable and there’s heaps of videos on YouTube to learn from. I have the Breville Barista Pro and love it. They regularly come on sale.

Like others here I bought a lot of gear. Much of it was not needed. A few links below, not sponsored or affiliate, just my recommendations. * Mister? I tried it, it wasn’t helpful and could make your beans clump in the exit chute. * Bottomless Portafilter? Very satisfying to see the flow. Not necessar
