I would consider myself more than just a coffee enthusiast - I'm a bit of a nerd really, particularly if this article is anything to by...

A good-quality brew is almost a necessity for my morning routine, and I think this is something that will resonate with many cyclists. As Silviu Rad told me when I wrote the nerds guide to coffee, your equipment plays a critical role in the quality of your brew. Grind size and extraction can greatly affect the taste of your caffeine hit.

The bad news is the Breville BES870XL isn't available at a discount in the UK. The good news is that this similar machine from Sage is!

Bean-to-cup functionality, and exceptional reviews including a testimonial from one of my personal barista friends, this machine is well worth a look.
