Breville Barista Touch Automatic Espresso Machine, Black Truffle #BES880BTR1BCA1

Bit Of A Learning Curve, But Not Too Steep

I spent a ton of time doing research, maybe even too much time, before purchasing this machine and now that we've had it for a few weeks, we're confident that we made the right choice. Looks great on the counter, doesn't take up too much space, comes with all the accessories you could need and the free gift set was a happy little bonus. Takes some time to calibrate the machine to your liking which can be the most frustrating part, but once you've sorted that out you'll not only be more knowledgeable when it comes to the wonderful world of coffee, but you'll know how to get the most from your machine. It's easy to go down the rabbit hole looking at comments/reviews when you're on the fence about a purchase like this, but don't get bogged down with all the talk about grinders, scales, 8 second pour this and 36 grams that, or how you simply must hire a team of coffee sommeliers to taste your espresso first. Try the machine, play around with the settings and beans, and enjoy your coffee!

Awesome Machine!

I bought this machine with the intention of using it in my pop up coffee shop to make espresso style drinks. It hasn’t let me down yet. Super intuitive and versatile. I would recommend, for small volume commercial and personal use. A+
