A good-quality brew is almost a necessity for my morning routine, and I think this is something that will resonate with many cyclists.

The bad news is the Breville BES870XL isn't available at a discount in the UK. The good news is that this similar machine from Sage is!

Bean-to-cup functionality, and exceptional reviews including a testimonial from one of my personal barista friends, this machine is well worth a look.
