The Breville Barista Max+ is a large and very capable bean-to-cup machine that can make several espresso or milk-based coffees using either beans it grinds itself, or ground coffee if you prefer.
Breville knows a thing or two about coffee machines, and the Breville Barista Max+ is one of their most impressive models. As a shopping writer, I've got hands-on reviewing experience for everything from hair dryers to frying pans, and I’ve tested this does-it-all machine for several months to determine how wise an investment it is. Among the machine's standout features is a smart display that shows the brewing time and grind size, making the often-confusing process of brewing coffee from scratch that little bit more accessible, and giving you the tools you need to get the perfect extraction out of each and every bean.
