I got a Breville barista touch. It's nice but I have to tamper the grounds myself. They are on sale right now for $880 (normally $1100). Their higher end one is the Oracle I believe but it's like $3000.
Look into Miele and Jura too.

This topic came around a couple months ago.
Most “full automatic” machines from Europe are good. WMF brand is common in hotels in Germany. The German town I am traveling in now has a WMF retail boutique with good machines. 50Hz/220V unfortunately. Jura is a good brand. Turkish coffee is an excellent experience. Full manual, not automatic. Cup-type machines (Nespresso, Keurig, etc) are inferior to full automatic. Last edited by chassis; 05-09-2023 at 11:15 AM.. |

Have been using Breville Infuser + grinder combo. The machine consistently makes good coffee (had them for 6+ years now). Love the analog pressure gauge.

Have a e61 head based manual machine. Owned for 15 years or so and it’s literally done 1000s of cups of coffee. Mainly used for making flat whites in our household. Makes a reasonable cup still although it’s on its second boiler.
These are a generic Italian machine and are sold under a few brand names and still made now. Older pic so grinder long gone, but using a sette 270 for past 4 years. An excellent grinder for the price point. |

i mean it all comes back to budget...if funds are unlimited, get a nice Jura machine that can grind coffee beans... use Illy or Lavazza coffee... it doesn't get better... but the Jura machines run from $2k to $10k lol

Mr. Coffee
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08QD33PZ2 I went through all of this last year. Bought into it all. Chemex, grinders, kettles... worked on perfecting my pour. Then after Chemex was providing me with no real better coffee for the effort, I went back to drip and tried a few different higher cost options such as the Moccamaster. Now the Moccamaster may have historically been a quality maker, but what they sent me was $350 plastic slag that was broken out of the box. Went straight back. Tried a very well reviewed (all legit as far as I could research) OXO, that also produced no better coffee for the effort. In the end, a $20 Mr. Coffee is just fine for me. I do not have the refinements, cultural or otherwise, to appreciate any nuance in coffee... if it even exists (I'm not convinced). It is like listening to someone dump wordy eloquence into describing a wine. It all tastes like feet to me. Last edited by nerdogray; 05-10-2023 at 08:47 AM.. |

I replaced a Keurig with a Nespresso machine awhile back. While it won't compete with what others are listing here, the Nespresso is way better tasting than the Keurig IMO. If you're looking for something quick/convenient to make in the morning, I'd recommend this as an upgrade.

I bought this Keurig and I grind my own Lavazza beans. I never use those plastic K-Cups because the coffee tastes like crap.

There are a lot of coffee machines out there but I prefer the Chemex system.

If you go that route I recommend the older machines the use the small pods. From what I've read the new ones have these fat pods that are harder to get non Nespresso brand ones. I guess they have some kind of built in protection. Fuck that. Millions of pod options for the older style machines. |

Current setup. Not this one but they all work the same. Nothing automatic, all manual.

The more I go down the rabbit hole the more I come back to Philips and Tera cafe. Wife wants a white coffee machine if possible.
Does yours have a cold brew function? I see some say yes and some no. Also I’m thinking 5400 for the one push options. Anyone Quote:

Never heard of the Tera Cafe before now, but if you are willing to go to $1k then you should have more options as far as super automaticos. |

I think I’ll order the TK-02. It’s unproven but also 3 day full return policy (I pay freight). So willing to try it. Just hate I have to wait till fall.
Looking for ability to EASILY make ; Drip coffee mostly Capuchino sometimes Cold brew coffee all summer Espresso rarely Any other suggestions ? Quote:
