Looked for a general coffee machine thread but couldn't see one.
We have been wanting a coffee machine for a while now but we decided to wait until we buy a house later this year before we make the purchase, however my wife has just gone up to Leeds for a few days and found that her dad has bought us a machine as a thank you present
He got us a Sage Barista Express, I have looked at these before and tbh was probably going to buy one of the more advanced machines when it came to it, but I'm not complaining to get a free machine! Can't wait to use it.
I've just watched a few video reviews and some of them said a Coffee Distributor tool is a must have, anybody use one of these? I've never used a coffee machine before, my wife has when she worked at the student union when she was in Uni and she said it comes with a tamper already, but you can get the spinny ones on Amazon for a tenner that seem to work pretty well, so not that expensive if it's a good addition.
This one is well rated - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Espresso-Distribution-Coffee-Distributor-Leveler/dp/B07CPRBS8C/ref=sr_1_5?crid=18TNRLZ1U5XJN&dchild=1&keywords=coffee+distributor+53mm&qid=1623612515&sprefix=coffee+dis,aps,153&sr=8-5
