Surprisingly, Millennials didn’t start the coffee craze. In fact, the craze was all thanks to a Greek servant, named Pasqua Roseé, who introduced the caffeinated drink to London’s first coffeehouse in 1652.
Centuries later, the nation is spoiled with a variety of the world’s finest drinks, right at their fingertips. Despite knowing what drink you intend to purchase upon your visit to a coffee shop, choosing a coffee machine is a completely different ballgame. It’s like your mind becomes overwhelmed with the sight of technical terms, brands and dare we say, pricing; all of which stalls your ability to make an informed decision. But what if there was an easier way to pick a machine?
Rather than bore you with all the technical specs and reviews of different models, we’ve taken matters into our own hands and instead, offered guidance in accordance with your personality traits.
If you’re stuck on what to buy, carry on reading to find out if the type of coffee machine you were thinking of purchasing is going to suit you down to a T?
