Becoming a barista at home

TERM Two is upon us and getting children ready for a day of at home learning is no easy task, but there is one way to make the day just that little bit easier.

Kickstart your morning with a perfectly brewed coffee. Whether you need an espresso, macchiato, cappuccino, magic or latte, Harvey Norman has a coffee machine which will help you breeze through your day.

In two convenient locations at Waurn Ponds and Corio, and with an unparalleled offering online, you have the ability to become your own barista in the comfort of your own home thanks to Harvey Norman’s range of coffee machines. And thanks to the helpful team, choosing the right coffee machine for your needs and style is as easy as A-B-C.

If you’d like to polish up your skill set and make a morning ritual out of perfecting your cappuccino, leading brands including De Longi, Breville, Sunbeam and Smeg’s manual range of machines will allow you to do just that. Manual machines allow you to measure your own coffee shot from ristretto to espresso, if you chose, and let you steam and froth the milk as you please.

But if allowing the machine to do it all for you as you prepare multiple breakfasts sounds like a dream, Harvey Norman’s range of automatic machines, including Jura and Delonghi, require hardly any work. From grinding the beans, brewing the coffee, frothing the milk, and even self-cleaning, automatic machines make it easy to get a café-quality cup of coffee at home.

Capsule machines are perfect for parents on the go who need a coffee whipped up in between tying shoelaces and checking schoolwork. The magic is in the pods, which come in a range of strengths and flavours and are convenient to use.

If you prefer to grind your own coffee beans to create the consistency that works for your personalised at-home coffee, make sure you check out the retail superstore’s range of coffee grinders, and knock-boxes to dispose of you used coffee shot.
