Barista Touch

With a 1500 budget you better not buy a Breville barista touch lol

I went down this rabbit trail last month. After browsing this sub, I learned that it’s the grinder, not the espresso machine, that makes good espresso.

The Breville Barista Touch. It comes with a hefty price tag, brace yourself lol

Yeah you're about a week in. Beans are drinkable like 48 hours after roast date but you have a nice light roast there. Light roasts can take 3-5 weeks to completely off gas. If you have more beans or other beans, let these beans sit for another week at least. Another thing you'll notice right away i
