Don’t waste money on an overly complex coffee maker — as a certified barista, these are the 3 best beginner-friendly machines I recommend for easy brewing
Coffee-making doesn't have to be complicated or expensive — these three beginner-friendly machines makes it both affordable and easy.
For those seeking a coffee maker that simplifies the brewing process, TechRadar's certified barista recommends three beginner-friendly machines. The first option is the Breville Luxe Brewer Thermal, a drip coffee maker that offers customization options for brewing coffee. Users can adjust the bloom time, bloom temperature, brew time, and brew temperature to achieve their desired flavor. The machine can also produce cold brew by steeping ground coffee in water for 24 hours.
The second recommendation is the Philips Baristina, a bean-to-cup espresso machine designed for simplicity and ease of use. Users simply load beans, fill the water tank, and insert the portafilter handle. The machine grinds, tamps, and extracts the shot with minimal effort. The Baristina is compact and affordable, making it an excellent choice for those transitioning from coffee capsules. Although it cannot steam milk, an updated version, the Baristina Latte, addresses this limitation.
Lastly, the Bosch Tassimo Finesse Friendly is a capsule coffee maker that stands out for its versatility and ease of use. Unlike most pod machines, the Finesse Friendly can create rich foam using long-life milk capsules, enabling users to enjoy lattes and cappuccinos. While capsules can be costly, the machine remains an affordable alternative to frequent takeout orders. However, it is currently unavailable outside Europe unless imported.
