Breville Barista Express
Picking the right espresso machine for home can be a daunting task. While there are many options that can brew good or even great coffee, some are more user friendly than others. Beyond that, picking an espresso grinder can be just as challenging.
We have had great results with the Breville machines, both for the coffee they brew, but also for usability. They are reasonably intuitive and just keep working. While they make several different machines, we like this one especially for the first time home espresso machine. You'll still need to learn the basics of how to use the machine, they are not a super-automatic that does everything for you, but they can do it all in a small footprint.
Breville is also known for their exceptional customer service, and replacement parts are readily available. Plus, since they are widely used, you can find "how-to" guides for almost every aspect of this machine online.
Features include:
Built-in conical steel burr grinder produces precise grinds; 15 settings allow you to customize the grind from fine to coarse.
Airtight round coffee bean hopper preserves freshness and aroma.
Razor-precise grind dosing dispenses correct amount of coffee for either single or double shots and can be adjusted.
Integrated tamper with pressure guide.
Low pressure pre-infusion, followed by high pressure 9-bar extraction process delivered via 15-bar Italian pump.
Adjustable brew temperature.
Water filter eliminates impurities for better-tasting coffee.
360-degree swivel steam wand with frothing nozzle froths milk for lattes and cappuccinos.
Extra-large water tank (67-fl.-oz.-cap.) and dedicated hot-water outlet.
Dry-puck feature removes excess water from grinds after extraction, resulting in easily removable "puck" for fast cleanup.
Includes stainless-steel frothing pitcher, scoop and cleaning kit.
Built-in storage tray holds accessories when not in use.
Ships directly from Breville, please allow 3 business days for processing.
This item ships to the U.S. only, International shipping currently not available.
