While one of the many draws of the specialty coffee scene is the tactile satisfaction and ritualistic intentionality involved in manual brewing, we at Cape Coffee Beans recognise that convenience is valuable, particularly in certain contexts that can demand a lot of self-service coffee like a busy office. Fortunately, there are quite a few options available to the time-strapped consumer these days, and for high-quality bean to cup espresso machines they need look no further than Mythos. 

The Mythos Eros is a premium super-automatic coffee machine with all the bells and whistles necessary to pump out around 80 delicious cups of coffee every day with no major user hassle. Featuring a 550g bean hopper and a 4L water tank, you’ll likely only need to refill it at the beginning of each day in an office or commercial setting, and you’ll only need to empty the waste bin after every 30 or so cups. At home you could easily get away with even less daily input, though you may want to keep it up anyway to ensure great tasting coffee. Additionally, the Eros’ grinder is both adjustable and designed to minimise noise, so you can fine tune to get the most out of your coffee and grind all hours of the day without fear of waking up the household or disturbing the workplace. 

Regarding beverage variety, the Eros can serve over 20+ coffee and milk beverages, from short espressos to large cappuccinos, which can be selected and adjusted using a bright 7-inch LCD touchscreen interface. Milk steaming and coffee brewing is simultaneous thanks to a dual-boiler system, a particularly coveted feature in the realm of espresso machines, meaning the Eros can pump out beverages at a rapid pace. Finally, thanks to the integrated cleaning system, all you have to do for regular maintenance is to load the Eros with the right cleaning solution and hit go on the cleaning cycle when prompted, then just follow the easy on-screen instructions. No fuss necessary. 

This impressive featureset is all packed into the Eros’ relatively compact and stylishly inconspicuous build, which, while not necessarily small, is still trim enough that you could find space for it pretty easily on an empty counter. From top to bottom, the Eros is all about quality and convenience, and is a great option as a premium home or workplace coffee machine.
