Breville Barista Express vs Technivorm Moccamaster Technivorm 59691 KB Coffee Brewer

I don't think this is essential for a latte, but if you drink espresso your first cup will be lukewarm unless you let the machine fully heat up (which is long after all the lights are on). - The default recommended settings on the grinder are working like a charm, so we probably won't mess with them much. We are using whole bean Starbucks espresso. - The manual doesn't explain the grinder mechanism very well

Through the years, I have had a Braun, many Krups models, Cuisinart, a recent Bonavita that I returned due to lukewarm coffee temp, and finally the Moccamaster. The Moccamaster beats them all hands down for flavor and a hot brew. I always use freshly ground beans and bottled water for the best flavor. In a hard water area, using bottled water prevents frequent descaling

Buying those same 62 drinks at Sbux would have cost $415 (not count tip I always leave so actually closer to $500 for 62 triple venti Ice lattes at Sbux costing nearly $7 each + tip. So I figure I when just considering supplies I used $30 in beans and syrup and at around $4 per gallon, I have used maybe another $20 in Milk so $50 total in supplies about vs. around $500 for buying the drinks at Sbux including tip means I paying 10% what I used to and have saved $450 ($150 less than I paid for the machine) in a single month on the drinks for me and my daughter. As I started off saying, it does take me 15 minutes from start to finish of cleanup to make those two drinks but it could be half that without cleanup every time but I also never wait in a drive through line

If you have more than one coffee drinker in you family definately go with the 10 cup size. Is it worth the price? If it lasts more than 5 yrs I will say yes, I havent had luck with cheaper models in the past so we'll see.

The expectation for a great tasting espresso is quality water, give our well water source we purchase water for cooking and consumption. Would be nice if there was a better way to recover the dispensed water after use to be reused but since the tray also traps grounds, it's useless for reuse. For now I save this for watering plants.

The Maca Master offers three different settings which can be controlled via a switch on the front of the brew basket. It allows you to adjust how fast...

For me that's hitting the espresso jackpot each and every time! What about you? Are you interested in dialing it in too? https://www

So the water is still only going through the center 2 inches of the coffee grounds. The other grounds are wet, but they're not getting enough contact to effect adequate flavor extraction. This is evidenced by the fact that I have to use twice as much coffee grounds in the Technivorm as what I use in my straight up manual pour over. (3) This is relatively minor, but still something I found in the first week of having it on my counter

The temperature of the latte will be the temperature of the milk. Unless you want to pre-heat the cup before the whole process, you want the milk as hot as possible, but not so hot that it will alter the taste of the drink. Everyday usage: 1. Wait 20 min or so for the machine to pre-heat
