I have bought a Sage barista touch today and made some Espresso with it. I still need to do some work to improve my process but it has been very interesting so far.
Im guessing UK/EU? I have the breville instance, had 3 of them.
I never use the single wall filters, always the double…but i drink the same coffee every day. And can i suggest https://scoutcoffee.co.uk/products/rhino-shot-glass-2-4oz-70ml-with-spout-and-handle you will see in an instant that your shot is the right volume/colour etc the handle helps your fingers and the duel spout is convenient. There are lots of cheap alternatives but i have had one of these for 10 years. Use it daily, nothing compares.
EU is correct. I have some points I dislike about the machine but I got it at 1/3 of the price and it gave me a good entry into the world of espresso. I have gotten better now and the shots are very consistent if I want them to be. Timed grinding is weird but works well enough for making multiple shots one after the other.
That’s a good entry price for the automated models. I think because i started manual i really missed the control of the tamp and getting the shot to my perfection.
With the machine I have, I need to tamp myself. The only thing I can’t control is pressure and pre infusion time
Ah i was thinking Oracle Touch my bad.
