Coffee Maker Recommendation

Not these ones specifically. We had 2 Breville One Touches which are pretty expensive.

The first one we had to have fixed under warranty after a few years and then it ran into the same problem and so we replaced it. Bought a second one and eventually ran into the same problem. Dh fixed that problem but then the built in grinder stopped working so we decided to go with something else.

When we originally purchased the Breville it was because I wanted something that was pretty easy to use as I was intimidated by the more manual espresso machines. After using the Breville for several years I was ready to go with a less home appliance model.

We ended up going with a Profitec Drive. It does not have a built in grinder though it does have 2 steam wands. I like it but a couple of things that I miss about the Breville is that it had the built in grinder/tamper, and the water tank was easier to fill. Also Breville had an automatic stop so you didn’t have to monitor as it brewed your coffee. The Profitec you need to manually stop, remove the portafilter, and then start it again to run the hot water and manually stop it.
