I have a Breville 870XL I bought last Xmas, use daily and typically pull at least two double shots a day. I wouldn’t hesitate to spend a few thousand next time around on an even better machine even though I have had zero issues with this one.
For beans I almost exclusively use the Moja espresso blend. I also like Stumptown and occasiaonlly the JJ espresso blend for for the best consistency I stick with Moja
Recently took a latte art class at Platform 7. Have been dabbling pretty hard lately in Latte art *hipster shield engage* lol but I find it pretty entertaining
My go to is a Baileys Latte when I have time, usually 2/3 2% milk 1/3 Baileys:
Some progression shots (it’s actually a lot harder than you’d think) also helps to have a $30,000 machine in-store lol
