Breville's stylish bean-to-cup coffee machine has turned my kitchen into an at-home cafe – it's helped me kick my takeaway coffee habit for good

I battled through years of trial and error with my old Breville bean-to-cup coffee machine to learn to make the perfect latte at home. I wish I'd started my journey with the Breville Barista Sense Espresso Machine, and I might have kicked my takeaway coffee habits years ago.

I've been testing this contender for the best bean-to-cup coffee machine for the last three months, and I can say not only is it a good-looking machine, but it also pulls a great espresso. It's a machine that will grow with you on your journey from a coffee novice to an amateur barista.
