Hi guys, i currently have nespresso machine at home and i buy aroeggio capsules for it. I love the latte at cafe and wish to own espresso machine of my own.
I dont have any espresso experience. Which machine will be a good starter for beginner barista and it will serve well for years? Dont want to spend a fortune ofcourse.
The 2 options in my mind are:
Breville barista express bes870
Barista express impress
I did little bit research and my understanding is that impress is better for beginners as it is more automatic which means less room for errors. Waiting for some good price drop on these machines so that i can do price beat 10% at briscoes before i pull the trigger.
Please recommend what will be better option and if there are any other machines as well to consider, thanks heaps.
I have this Delonghi machine from this deal: https://www.cheapies.nz/node/32230, which is the cheaper side of the machine. I'm also a beginner and while I find this one is good at the start, as you upskill your coffee making skill, there's a lot of things that irk you with this machine.
