“Trust me, I was a barista and I’ve also tried every type of home coffee set up under the sun. Keurig, Smeg drip coffee machine, Nespresso, even the large Breville with the built-in grinder. This set up is by far the best for me and what I’m looking for to save money on my daily coffee fix.
It’s compact and takes up little counter space, but at the same time you have everything you need to make the perfect espresso drink.
Especially if you drink iced coffee, this is all you need - don’t buy the bigger machine with the fancy frother you’ll never use!
And even if you drink hot coffee, I think this will outperform other machines with built-in grinders due to the fact that you can be so much more specific with a separate grinder by choosing your grind size, shot amount, and grind time. This also grinds the coffee directly into your portafilter so there’s no need for transfer - and you can also use it for your drip coffee too, because it comes with a canister that measures by the cup!”
