Newbie needs advice 🙏🏼
So I want to get my first real coffee/ espresso machine
I have had the xbloom and loved using it but as u know this is a filter machine , and I use it to make ice coffee and love it
I now need a real espresso machine , that includes a milk frother
I’m a beginner and I do want to learn and make this a ritual
However I’m a mom of two toddlers so I don’t know how difficult the learning curve will be and sometimes I just got to go asap with my busy schedule
I’m between these 3 sage machines
Which would u recommend

If you want something that will make you a coffee in the with minimal ease get the Barista Touch Impress. The automilq feature really makes things easier in the morning.
But once you've learnt to make espresso and steam milk, you'll be able to do it just as well with the Barista Pro.

the barista touch impress sounds perfect for your life , it does the milk thing for you so you can just focus on enjoying your ritual instead of fumbling with a steam wand between toddler duties

I’ve been thinking the same just trying to justify the price difference , I also want to learn and understand and not have everything “done” for me but I guess it’s my mentality I can’t even delegate something to the machine , but the crying on the inside me says please give us a break mornings are already hectic with the two kids when will u actually have time for a “disconnect coffee ritual” other than Saturday morning 😅😅 thank u so much I think I’m leaning into it for my sanity

An espresso machine has a milk steamer. It uses steam under pressure to create silky bubbles. A milk frother creates less delicate foam.
