Breville, a trusted name in coffee machines, has come up with the new and gorgeous espresso machine that every coffee lover would love. The Breville Barista Express is designed with the consumer in mind and is perfect for both aspiring and practicing baristas.
This semi-automatic coffee machine combines grinding, brewing, and steaming in one aesthetic unit. It also has technical features that are only usually found in high-end, higher level consumer and professional coffee machines.
Thoughtful design and exquisite craftsmanship are the defining features of this beautiful machine that can make great espresso and milk-based drinks. This machine won the Specialty Coffee Association of America (SCAA) “Best New Consumer Product” award in 2013 so you know there’s a lot to love about it.
Visually Stunning
Simply put, this unit is gorgeous. Its sleek housing is attractive, giving it an elegant look, a clean finish, and clean lines and curves. It comes in three colors, Black Sesame, Cranberry Red, and Stainless Steel. They’re all visually appealing, making this machine the crowning glory of any kitchen or coffee bar.
Built from top-of-the-line materials, the machine is stunning, sturdy, and safe. It won’t move even when the burr is doing its job. It also has neat little pockets and hideaway storage compartments for its parts and accessories. You never have to lose a part ever again. And since all the accessories are hidden, you just get a solid and beautiful machine that’s great to look at.
This machine can turn any kitchen into a full-on mini café, simply by being there.
Just Add Beans and Milk!
The Barista Express comes with all the tools and accessories you need to make a great coffee, except of course your favorite coffee beans and milk.
You don’t need to buy a separate grinder because the machine has a built-in one. The grinder has stainless steel conical burrs and 16 grind settings. It also comes with an adjustable automatic dosing for single and double shots. You have the power to choose the grind size and dose.
The hopper, albeit smaller than most, can be locked and unlocked which is great for placing the leftover beans back into their container or change them out when switching between different types of coffee.
The drip tray is also a clever feature of the machine. It separates the wet and dry spillage for easy clean-up. It also has a neat “Empty me!” indicator when it’s full and needs to be emptied out.
The drip coffee machine also comes with a 54-mm portafilter, a precision razor dose trimming tool, four filter baskets (2 pressurized and two nonpressurized) which can be stored inside the machine’s drip tray, and a tamper which cleverly attaches to the machine itself. For milk-based drinks, it comes with a milk jug.
Besides grinding and brewing, the machine also comes with a steaming function. Its 360-degree swiveling steaming wand can heat milk so you can make lattes, cappuccinos, or macchiatos to your heart’s content.
All the machine’s parts are made from stainless steel, making them super sturdy and last for a very long time.
Café-Quality Coffee at Your (Amateur) Fingertips
Any reputable barista would tell you that making espresso is both an art and a science. Mere mortals need rigorous training to make the perfect shot. Don’t worry; this machine has an easy-to-use interface, 15 bar pump, and thermocoil heating system which regulates temperature. This means you can be a total beginner and still produce excellent full-flavored espresso.
Baristas also say the difference between the perfect shot and a terrible one is only a few seconds. Ground beans start to lose their potency with every passing minute. Again, don’t worry. The machine can grind and brew fresh and potent espresso in only a few seconds. You can get the full flavor and intensity of the beans in the comfort of your own kitchen and in less than a minute.
What makes the Barista Express so amazing is that it gives anyone the opportunity to make café-quality espresso at home and without the café-quality price and hassle.
