Compare the Pair: Sunbeam & Breville Coffee Machines
Are you in need of a new coffee machine to wake up with? Maybe it’s time you relied less on the coffee shop down the road and more on making your own cup before your commute. Whatever your needs and personal coffee drinking habits, we know that there’s a coffee machine out there for everybody.
Your source of coffee and how the coffee machine operates should be one of the most important considerations in mind. Are you a pod coffee person or are freshly ground beans more your thing? We’ve got the best of both types! To help you find your perfect coffee machine, in this article, we’ll outline and compare two models: Breville’s Nespresso Creatista® Pro (Pod) Coffee Machine and the Sunbeam Barista Plus Pump Espresso Coffee Machine.
This Breville Nespresso Creatista® Pro coffee machine offers pod convenience with advanced personalisation via the touch display to let you craft your perfect cup. The coffee volume, milk temperature and milk forth levels can be adjusted to suit. The side steam wand delivers an easier way to create delicate and frothy milk for milky coffee varieties. In a compact benchtop design, this coffee machine is compatible with Nespresso coffee capsules for a one-touch coffee making experience. There’s so much to love about this automatic coffee machine:
- Ultra-fast 3 second heat up
- 8 pre-programmed coffees such as Espresso, Cappuccino and Lungo
- Colour touch display
- Customisable settings: 7x coffee volumes, 7x hot water volumes, 8x milk forth levels and 11x milk temperatures
- Dedicated hot water spout
- Fully-automatic steam wand to texturise milk
