I think it's finally about time I get a good coffee maker for my home. Years of getting by with a drip filter machine and disappointment after buying a cheap milk frother mean my eye has been drawn to a proper espresso machine. And now, with Prime Day almost here, I've spotted this deal on the Breville/Sage Barista Express that has me tempted to upgrade.

Why has this one caught my eye in particular? Well, it's a record-low price for the top-rated Breville/Sage Barista Express. Plus, it's one that our experts have picked as one of the best espresso machines we've tested.
With its ability to make all sorts of drinks with ease, a bevy of adjustable settings, a handy integrated grinder, and a powerful steam wand for milk texturing, it has everything I need to help me skip the coffee shop and whip up a brew at home. It'll be an investment now, but with the amount of on-the-go coffee I've been buying lately, it'll pay for itself in no time, I'm sure.

What's helping convince me even more that this could be the right coffee machine for me is our very positive Breville/Sage the Barista Express review, in which we awarded the appliance an impressive 4.5 stars out of five.
We highlighted how simple it was to use, the many adjustable settings to get your drink exactly right, and the "tasty espresso" our reviewer enjoyed. Given that I'm a bit of a coffee newbie too, I appreciate that it isn't too complex, but I'm willing to experiment with all the different options to get drinks how I want them. That should be a fun learning experience.
The full price is definitely a pain point, but the sting is taken out a little with this cut to the cheapest it's ever been in both the US and the UK. Can't ask for more than that right now, so I will be pondering on it a bit more before considering hitting the buy button.
