Of course, the manual intervention part of the process means you can also tailor brews to be stronger, depending on how youвЂ™ve set up the grinder. That means not too strong and with the benefit of being able to add in lots of hot, frothy milk. IвЂ™ve taken to the Breville because it seems particularly good at turning out consistently solid cups of coffee, suited to my taste.

Back around the front, thereвЂ™s a grill and tray assembly that catches any spilt coffee grinds and excess fluids.

Around the back thereвЂ™s a large water container, serviced from the top or you can detach it if you prefer. Once youвЂ™ve got the knack, it serves up ground coffee very well actually while the digital readout tells you how much is being dispensed into either of the two filter baskets. Suddenly though, the click-into-place action it requires to do this right started to make sense. It took me a few goes to get the gist of this, and I did it wrong more than once.

Prior to that though you have to slot the lever, plus the coffee size insert into the slightly flexible plastic coffee grinder outlet. Almost to the point you wonder if youвЂ™re going to break it, although the manual does at least tell you this. Similarly, the handle that you lock into place prior to pouring is really tight the first few times you use it. The plastic coffee grinding receptacle slots into place on the top of the machine and you really have to twist it to reach the required grind number. Meanwhile, some aspects of the design leave you wondering how well theyвЂ™ll fare over time. ThereвЂ™s a solid plastic tamper tool too, plus a milk jug thatвЂ™s acceptable in feel, rather than premium. These include the chunky lever that you pop the ground coffee into prior to pouring. It does actually look okay though, and the overall barista effect is nicely complimented by the tools and accessories that come with it. YouвЂ™ll want to keep it out mind as itвЂ™s not the sort of thing thatвЂ™ll fit in a cupboard particularly well either. Nevertheless, the Barista Max+ does look the part, and does also take up a decent amount of countertop space. What you actually get is quite a lot of silver-coloured plastic, some chrome buttons and the odd flourish of stainless steel.

Having been offered the Barista Max+ in either stylish black or classic stainless steel and opting for the latter, I was slightly disappointed to find that it isnвЂ™t quite as shiny, shiny as the glossy press images suggest.
