Build quality of Sage is better IMO, and I've had both machines.
I don't think the Breville version of the Sage Barista will be as good with a good few years of use on it. The grinder mechanism is similar but not as good, plastic is cheaper and marks more easily... it feels flaky... but yes it's cheaper, horses for courses.

If you are using a bit whilst you practise your next animal latte art, I spotted this in Tesco.
Lofbergs Coffee
You can get a Kg for £11, which is cheap, should keep you going for while.
I bought a bag yesterday, not as good as fresh beans (but think it's only just over a month roasted), but was curious to see how good/bad it was.
Only had one coffee with it, but need to dial the grinder in to get the best, so will report back, when I've pulled a couple more.

I was really impressed with the Lidle beans that I was practicing with. I'm still practicing with my preferred Starbucks beans but they now taste to strong and bitter. A bit more practicing and I'll order some fresh beans
What's your biscuit of choice to go with a cup - biscotti?

I don't take the biscuit. They are not my bag.

Apart from the half penguin I had today.
Oh and the half I had yesterday.

That counts. Haven't had one of those for ages. I'm in a Hobnob phase at the mo'. Dipped, not dunked. I hate soggy biscuit.
Can't say I have experience to have an opinion myself!...

It does count. Since my health kick it's been easy for me to stay off the crisps and the biscuits.
Just sometimes I P-p-p-pick up half a penguin
Why???!! How do you end up with half a penguin? Were you part way through eating one and just got bored?
There's barely two mouthfuls in one anyway, I swear they were the size of housebricks when I were a lad.

I have a very thoughtful daughter who offered me half her Penguin.
This is a problem when your on a health kick. One small bite can send you down tye wrong way.
Hopefully I've survived this and the pack of crisps and apples crumble. On Sunday.

Honestly id expect it to give me a handjob as well as the perfect coffee each time for this price.
I bought a Sage Bambino plus for my office coffees does the job well, however i can recommend a precision filter basket and getting your dosage etc tuned. And good quality beans from your own grinder, with grinder you're looking about half this price.
My pod machine had an attempt at a rough drawing of the Empire State Building this morning.
Would you accept a hand job from a mechanical item?
