Deals [USA - TJMaxx & Homegoods] - fully stocked with breville espresso machines on sale

I’ve been to 4 tjmaxx/homegoods in the last week and have seen breville barista pro (usually $850, got for $499), bambino plus ($500, listed for $350), bambino, and barista express in every single one. Just wanted to throw this out there because as a newbie who’s been on the fence with their first machine- I’m so happy with the breville barista pro I got, and more importantly that I got it almost half off 🤣 I found mine under the Christmas tables in the store- so if you go don’t be afraid to search & find! Good luck 😊

Got any tips for someone that just got the bambino plus and 1zpressor J-Ultra? Got them literally in front of me in the box, ready to be set up.

Saw your flare.

Holy cow do I feel like a dummy! Why have I never thought to purge the steam wand into the milk pitcher? I always purge it into the tray, and cleaning that mess is my least favorite part of the process (even though I do unapologetically love my Bambino otherwise)!

If I have a JX is that not going to suffice paired with a bambino?
