'Top class' Breville machine for 'best cup of coffee ever' now £164 off on Amazon
"This machine is top class! It's so professionally made and works as good as any coffee shop machine."
A good coffee can brighten up any morning, but not many of us have access to barista-style quality drinks from our own homes. This is why investing in a high-quality coffee machine can revolutionise the standard of your coffees, especially for those who work from home.
Luckily for coffee lovers, a top-rated 'bean to cup machine' has been significantly reduced on Amazon by almost £125. The Breville Barista Max Espresso Machine usually costs a whopping £461.99, but lucky shoppers can currently snatch it for a 35 per cent discount at £298 with a saving of £163.99.
This easy-to-use, intuitive espresso machine comes with an integrated bean grinder that can make espressos, americanos, lattes, cappuccinos and more.
The gadget uses a three-way system to regulate and stabilise water flow and temperature, so users don't have to be a trained barista to make consistently great-tasting coffee.
Its integrated grinder with an easy one-touch system delivers fresh beans, and the machine has 30 adjustable grind settings to maximise and customise the flavour of the coffee.

Product Description
What's more, the smart machine comes with an Auto Shot button, which measures just the right amount of water needed for one or two shots of espresso for those who aren't coffee experts.
Or, for those who want to take things into their own hands, there's also a Manual Shot button.
Its full size, cool touch milk frother produces a dry steam that creates velvety microfoam milk for lattes, flat whites and cappuccinos, opening a gateway to a variety of drinks for those looking to broaden their coffee horizons.
Shoppers browsing alternative coffee machines may consider the De'Longhi ECAM290.21.B Mag Evo Bean to Cup Coffee Machine, currently on offer on Argos for £350.
Or for those looking for a coffee gadget that uses pods rather than beans, the Nespresso Vertuo Pop Barista Bundle De'Longhi Coffee Machine is also available on Argos for £200.
But customers adore the discounted Breville coffee machine, which has some glowing reviews and an overall rating of 4.2 stars out of a possible five.
One happy customer said: "This machine is top class! It's so professionally made and works as good as any coffee shop machine.
"All the parts and accessories are well made and of strong robust quality, nothing feels cheap and plastic and the 58 MM Portafilter makes making a proper 2 shot of espresso very simple."The water temperature and how quickly it makes the espresso is perfect and very quick.
"The steam milk frother is strong and robust and the steam power heats the milk in the provided steel jug in seconds."The machine is simple to clean and very very easy to use."
Yet a less pleased shopper wrote: "Not happy about the product. The product was broken when received. The packing was good, but the machine was broken. I didn't check before I left the country to gift it to one of my friends who lived in another country paying for excess luggage.
"And then to realize that the machine never started nor worked at all. It was quite embarrassing for me to gift something which was broken to a friend. I wish I never bought this product.
"No value for a gift. It was too much to carry all the way back paying excess luggage, so I just dumped the machine before I got back. Very disappointed and a complete waste of money!"
But another satisfied customer said: "Awesome machine. Well worth spending the money. It takes a little while to get your head around the different grind settings but with a little fiddling, I get the best cup of coffee I've ever had. The crema it produces is better than most coffee shops I've been to.
"Maintenance is fairly straight forward as we only use filtered water so no limescale to worry about. You'll need to purchase cleaning tablets separately."And I don't use any fancy beans either. I'm quite satisfied using the Sainsbury's Fairtrade coffee beans!"
The Breville machine is available on Amazon.
