Newbie here. Our Nespresso machine kicked the bucket last weekend and I need a new coffee machine ASAP. I’ve been eyeing off a nice Italian machine but funds are limited until we pay off a $10k tax office bill! I have about $600 of David Jones vouchers and they have some good prices on Breville machines at the moment so was thinking of getting one to use for a 2-3 years and then sell and upgrade. But which one to get? We make about 4 coffees a day. I’m super fussy about milk so often have a short black, but if I could get one with a decent steamer I might start to enjoy lattes again.
Looking at:
- Dual Boiler is $900 which seems like a great price but I would have to get a grinder. Is there a decent cheap grinder?
- Barrister Pro is $800
- Barrister Express is $630
Theres an Oracle for about $1700 but I feel like if I’m going to pay that much we might as well get a better brand ...
Advise please?

can I blame a combination of no morning coffee and autocorrect?
