Espresso coffee machines – wisdom re buying one. Who has experience with these and what should I look for?
I’m just about to buy a small home espresso coffee machine and need some advice from people who have had a lot of experience with them. I have had a Breville (cheapest of them I think, about 4 years old) and am looking at another Breville and a Krups, both reduced to $199 from $349. Both have a water section and do 1-2 cups. I guess its just a matter of preference but I would like some hints from anyone who knows anything. A friend who loves her coffee and seems to know a bit said not to get one that grinds the beans because of the coffee residue left which becomes stale and spoils the flavour. What else should I look out for? Thanks, Australia.
