Freshly brewed coffee from Breville coffee machines, your perfect companion this cold holiday season

Christmas is almost here. And with that, the cold weather, the traditional simbang gabi and the sumptuous Filipino delicacies that are best taken after the early morning mass such as the puto bumbong (steamed rice cake), made more flavorful with a freshly brewed steaming cup of coffee. In fact, a piping hot brewed coffee blends perfectly with the breezy, cold weather in December.

While coffee shops have become ubiquitous in major urban centres like Metro Manila, where they mushroomed overnight thanks to the rising wealth of Filipinos stemming from the growing economy, nothing beats having your own cup of coffee brewed at home. And how does one make a perfect cup of coffee right inside his own kitchen and even in the office? BREVILLE has the answer.

Australia’s premier brand of kitchen products, exclusively distributed in the Philippines by IAJ Wellness Corp., has an array of coffee machines that will help any barista, would-be or professional, make that perfect cup coffee at home and in the office. Among these coffee machines include the BREVILLE Barista Express[HC1]  and the BREVILLE Barista Express Cranberry.[HC2]

The Barista Express, which grinds, doses and extracts coffee beans in one, will capture the freshness of coffee as it processes beans into espresso in less than a minute. It has an in-built conical burr grinder that allows one to grind only what one needs directly into the portafilter. It's also adjustable in grind size and dose, so one can tweak it according to his taste. Moreover, its patented Razor dosing tool trims the puck for consistent extraction, while the PID digital temperature control delivers accurate water temperature throughout the extraction.

"In BREVILLE, we believe a fresh cup of coffee is the best coffee you’ll ever have," says Haj Cortez, Business Unit Manager for BREVILLE Coffee & Kettle. [HC3] "The machine allows you to grind the beans right before extracting your espresso to fully maximize the coffee flavor that goes into your favorite cup."

Having a coffee machine at home or the office will also entail savings and is more convenient.

"You’d also save more money if you invest in an espresso machine and go unli-coffee whenever and however you want, rather than buy it from a coffee shop multiple times a day. It’s also more convenient as you don’t need to endure long lines just to order your usual -- you can make your own in less than a minute and share a cup or two with family and friends.” Haj added.

IAJ also makes it easier to own a coffee machine through its instalment scheme. For as low as P3,333 per month and payable in 12 months, anyone can own a BREVILLE espresso machine. What's more, its online store allows up to 24 months at zero interest rate for BDO credit cardholders.

Given its health benefits, consuming a cup of coffee or two a day is perfect not only during the holiday season but all year round. Studies showed that drinking coffee is linked to decreased death from digestive diseases.  It's also associated with a lower risk of death from circulatory and cerebrovascular diseases for women.

BREVILLE, the trusted brand since it started manufacturing kitchen products in 1932, is available in leading retail outlets in the country such as SM Home, SM Appliance, Rustan’s, True Value, Landmark, Anson’s, Automatic Center. They can also be purchased online through www.breville.com.ph, Lazada, Knots & Pans, as well as showrooms, direct agents and resellers.
