    Overview

    The Sunbeam Cafe Barista is a great coffee machine for those who are new to espresso. With manual and automatic features within the one machine, mastering the art of coffee won’t be beyond anyone in your household.

    With two filter baskets, you can opt for a single or double shot. Once you’ve tamped your grounds and locked the porta-filer into the group head, you can select your beverage from the one-touch control panel - espresso, cappuccino, or latte. If you feel more confident in your abilities, you can also set a manual volume. The milk is frothed inside a convenient carafe that features adjustable froth density as well as a cleaning cycle. You can store the carafe inside your fridge if you have leftover milk.

    If you’re after a machine that removes most of the guesswork from making coffee, but doesn’t deny you the pleasure of playing barista, this Sunbeam semi-automatic machine will not disappoint.
    One-touch control panel

    Manually frothing milk can be a finicky craft, but thankfully this machine takes care of that. With buttons for espresso, cappuccino, and latte, your favourite beverage is just a touch away. You can press any of these buttons twice to pour a double shot.

    Automatic milk system

    Playing barista can be fun, but it can also be tricky if you’re new to the wonderful world of espresso. This machine removes the guesswork from milk frothing. Simply fill the milk carafe, select your preferred beverage from the top panel, and watch the foam fill your cup. The carafe features a knob for adjusting the foam density.

    Thermoblock technology

    Coffee machines built with a thermoblock are designed for only heating the water required for making your coffee, whereas boiler models heat an entire reservoir of water. Thermoblock machines are also known for their quick startup time and, let’s face it, a coffee craving can bring out impatience in the best of us.

    Cup height adjusting tray

    From a small glass for espresso to a bulky mug for cappuccino, this machine can accommodate all sorts of cups thanks to the sliding drip tray.
