Good to know
Which home espresso machine is best for beginners?
The Sage Bambino Plus is the simplest place to start (pair it with a grinder like the Baratza Encore ESP), and the Barista Express is the classic all-in-one with a built-in grinder. If you'd like more help as you go, the Barista Touch Impress guides you through every shot. Not sure? Ask our team.
Should I buy whole beans or ground coffee?
If your machine has a built-in grinder, buy whole beans for the freshest flavour. If not, choose espresso grind when you order.
Which of your coffees is best for espresso?
Momentum is our house espresso, rich and chocolatey. Magnitude and Mascot offer different styles, and Mellow Decaf gives you a great shot without the caffeine.
How do I keep my machine clean?
Wipe and purge the steam wand after every drink, rinse the group head daily, and use your machine's cleaning cycle as the manufacturer recommends. Puly Caff and Puly Milk keep the group head and milk system fresh.
Do you offer barista training?
Yes. Learn to dial in, steam milk and pour latte art with our team. Find out about barista training.
How are machines delivered, and what guarantee do they have?
Delivery is free to England, Scotland and Wales. Machines and grinders are sent directly from our equipment partner's warehouse, separately from any coffee you order, and come with a 2-year manufacturer's guarantee.
