Is Breville a good or bad place to start for a beginner? [$1000]
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.

Does milk mask the nuance of good vs bad espresso? [$1000]
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

What purchase felt expensive at the time but was completely worth it?
Literally came here to say this. Breville too. Barista Pro. 7 years and counting. I still get takeaway coffees, but only one or two here or there, rather than all of them.

Stick with my Bambino or upgrade to Breville Barista Pro [$500]
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

Air BnB provided this beauty and nothing else
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

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

Budget Espresso Machine
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

Products that are Worth Spending Money On?
Breville Barista Pro. I know, I know everyone says that you need a separate grinder to get the best espresso, but I wanted to dip my toes into the water before I fully committed. I've had it for about a year and love it. I'll probably upgrade in a few years. https://www.bestbuy.com/site/breville-the

Help buying a machine for my gf [$1,000]
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

Help finding the right machine [<$1,500]
I have the Breville Barista Pro, and I know it’s considered a bit of a “noob” machine in the espresso world, but honestly it’s been great for the price. I mainly drink straight espresso (not milk drinks or anything fancy), and it makes really solid shots consistently. The biggest pros for me were th
