What is it?

A coffee machine with an integrated grinder, which enables you to produce barista-style espressos, lattes and cappuccinos at home. Unlike other high-tech coffee machines, this is extremely easy to use. *Please note this machine is made by Breville if you’re in the U.S. and Sage if you’re in the U.K.

Overall Thoughts

This coffee machine has secured a special place in my heart, ranking just below my children and husband. The thought of parenting without it is unthinkable. I love it so much it was one of the first things we bought when we moved to America. (*In the UK i had a Sage machine and over here it’s made by Breville – they’re sister brands, so it’s the same product). This machine has transformed my mornings. The convenience and quality of the coffee is unmatched. The smell that fills my kitchen each morning is another joy this machine brings to my daily routine.

Any Downsides?

As with any product, it comes with its share of drawbacks. The noise level can be pretty loud when grinding the beans. While it doesn’t bother me much, it’s worth noting you might have to wait for the baby to wake!

Is it Worth the Money?

The initial cost might seem quite a lot. But when I add up what I used to spend on daily coffee runs, the Breville coffee machine is a great investment. If you’re a coffee enthusiast, or just really tired all the time and NEED coffee, I’d say this is a a game-changer and worth every penny.
