Black Friday Sale Recs??

We've talked about buying an espresso machine for years. Any good ones that are having an amazing sale right now/coming up? I feel overwhelmed by the choices and am experiencing some decision fatigue after our move this year and being in the midst of renovations.

What features do you think you’ll use the most?

@Ashley I have no idea. I don't even know what features to look for. I want a built-in grinder to grind fresh beans and a milk frother, but consider those pretty standard. What features should I look for/consider?

@Audrey I was just asking because I had one with all the bells and whistles and used it for about a month and stopped and it was just another thing taking space in my kitchen 🫣🫠 ended up selling it on marketplace 😆🤦🏻‍♀️

@Ashley maybe that's where I should look lol I've used one before working at a restaurant, so I know the basics, and I'm not trying to replicate any fancy coffeeshop drinks so maybe I'll avoid too many features. I just want it to make a solid espresso to build a good latte or cappuccino from :)

I don’t know of any BF sales right now, BUT we have the Breville Barista Express (the one you have pictured) and we LOVE it! 😄 It gets used at least once a day.

I have this exact breville machine. We love it, been using it for about 8 years now!

Now I have to Google lens to find it, I just grabbed a random pic that looked like a decent one 😄

I’ll save you the time- I googled it for ya lol: Breville Stainless Steel Barista Express Espresso Machine Light Silver BES870XL: 15 Bars Pressure, Milk Frother, Grinder
