Hi all,
Looking for the best coffee machine under $3000
Whilst I think the most recommended is the Breville Oracle Touch (on sale), I am hoping for maybe something “more automatic” due to the people who will be using it.
I don’t mind Jura’s, but I am not a fan of how some of the models have the milk container connected to the machine.
Looking to hear feedback
People using it are not very skilled haha
So then you will likely need one with milk?
Correct. Ideally the machine is end to end (including milk)
How skilled are the people using it?
Are you drinking espresso or drinks with milk in them?
How much of a coffee snob are you?
Where will you buy the coffee from?
What kind of grinder do you already own?
How offended are you by pressurised baskets?
People using are not very skilled but enjoy a decent coffee
No grinder, so machine will need to do all.
Beans will come from speciality store
Are you drinking espresso or drinks with milk in them?
The Breville Oracle (not touch) is super easy to use, but still requires a bit of maintenance and cleaning up.
+1. Automatics still need to be cleaned and break down too often. Oracle does the hardest parts which are grinding/tamping.
If I can save you $80/year, would you send me the saving in the form of a voucher each year?
If one considers each coffee at ($4 * 2 per day) * 365 = $2920
Support your local coffee shop/cafe! :)
Just joking - I a fan of Breville and DeLonghi.
Have a dual boiler Breville, but it's a manual. A good bit of kitchen kit though! I much prefer a manual machine in my opinion with an individual grinder.
I also use various different beans depending on what I'm making at the time. And, in any event, that the machine or grinder has a problem, I'm not replacing an all in one device, rather, just the device that has a problem. All good so far though!
One the easiest automatic machines is Delonghi PrimaDonna Elite Experience.
How automated is “more automatic”?
This one worked really well in my old office of about 30 people:
