Breville Precision Brewer Review

2020-08-31T17:08:29+00:0015 May 2020|Categories: Reviews|Tags: |

I really enjoyed the brewer, but it came with a few caveats that I cannot get over with. On a positive side, Breville Precision Brewer BDC450 comes with an extraordinary feature set that allowed me to brew coffee the way I like it. I was able to customize the machine to brew beverages that I love day after day. However, I did not find Breville to be super transparent about the materials, plastics and chemicals included in this machine. Though visually stunning, there are plastic parts. In my opinion, if it sells for $$$$, the price-to-value is just good. If it sells for anything more, it becomes less attractive.

Keurig Duo is a brand new release, now available at Walmart, Amazon and other stores. Keurig Duo is an innovative machine in the Keurig portfolio. It incorporates a single cup (k-cup) and a carafe (ground coffee). Made with plastic, comes in a black design and is fairly easy to use. It's super easy and convenient to use, with only 5 buttons to control the machine. When I bought the Keurig Duo, I also receive two boxes of K-cups and a bag of ground coffee to help me get started on my Keurig journey.

Breville Nespresso Creatista allows to brew espresso with Nespresso capsules only. I was not able to brew with ground coffee, which, in my opinion, limits the functionality of this espresso machine. It sells for ...
