the Barista Express Espresso Machine by Breville
Everything you need for barista quality coffee, in a compact footprint.
Create great tasting espresso a?? from bean to cup a?? in less than a minute. The Barista Express allows you to grind the beans right before extraction, and its interchangeable filters and a choice of automatic or manual operation ensure authentic caf?? style results in no time at all.
The 4 key elements of caf?? quality coffee:
- Dose Amount
- Precise Water Temperature
- Optimal Water Pressure
- Sufficient Steam Pressure
1. Dose - 19-22 g dose for full flavor.
Have you ever wondered why your home-made coffee never seems to taste as great as a caf?? bought one? Thata??s because most other automatic machines only dose 11-13 g of ground coffee, below whata??s needed to create that rich, full-bodied taste you get out of bed for.
2. Temperature - Precise PID temperature control.
The difference between an ashy or balanced tasting espresso can be as little as 1?��C. The Barista Express uses digital temperature control (PID) technology which detects and minimizes any fluctuation during extraction, ensuring the temperature is kept at its optimum range, every time.
3. Pressure - Low pressure pre-infusion and 9 bar extraction pressure.
Creating a golden honey crema in your coffee relies on the right pressure at the right time. The Barista Express uses low pressure, pre-infusion to evenly soak and expand the ground coffee, delivering a sweet and creamy extraction.
4. Steam - Automatically steaming milk to a silky micro-foam texture.
To get that velvety texture in your milk you need the right steam pressure to draw in the air and create thousands of tiny bubbles. Thata??s why we created the automatic steam wand for the Barista Express, that turns your milk into a silky smooth micro-foam, essential for latte art.
Special Features of the Barista Express
Thermocoil Heating System
Our Barista Express espresso machine uses a thermocoil heating system that is essentially a cast aluminium block, around a stainless steel tube. This gives you a quick heat up time and also a really clean taste.
In-Built Conical Grinder
The in-built conical burr grinder allows you to grind only what you need directly into the portafilter. It's fully adjustable in grind size and dose, so you can tweak to taste.
Micro-Foam Milk Texturing
The steam wand performance allows you to hand texture micro-foam milk that enhances flavour and enables creation of latte art.
Volumetric Controls
Pre-set single or double shot settings can be programmed to customize your shot volume. Low Pressure pre-infusion gradually increases pressure at the start for a more even extraction.

This is a fantastic machine for anyone wanting fantastic coffee at home, without spending as much as could be spent on such hardware. It is very intuitive and easy to use, thought the instruction book does enhance knowledge and understanding that will help the user go from using it to make coffee, to using it to make great coffee.
