At some point in the last year, I decided to make one thing in my life easy: coffee.
I like my French Press. I tried the AeroPress. And I still own a coffee grinder and a separate milk frother. But there is something to an coffee machine that does most of the work for you and delivers an espresso that’s cafe-worthy.
So I’d highly recommend you test out the appropriately-named Barista Express from Breville, now on sale at just under $600 at Sur La Table (among other places; we saw the deal at several online shops today).
Pick your ideal grind and temperature, use the steam wand for milk and have your cup o’ elevated joe in your hands in under a minute. We’ve been using this exact model at our house since just after Covid hit and we’ve pretty much stopped going to local cafes (that said … support your local cafe when you feel safe).
Bonus: You can use to make some excellent coffee-based cocktails.
