Breville Barista Express Espresso Machine Review

In terms of appearance, the Breville Barista Express Espresso Machine is a true beauty. The sleek stainless steel design is both modern and timeless, and it looks right at home in any kitchen. The machine has a small footprint, which makes it perfect for those with limited counter space. The attention to detail in the design is evident, with every button, knob, and feature placed in just the right spot for ease of use.

The build quality of the Breville Express Espresso Machine is equally impressive. As soon as I picked it up, I could tell that it was made with care and precision. The machine feels solid and durable, instilling confidence in its longevity. The materials used are of the highest quality and give the machine a premium feel.

Breville Barista Express Espresso Machine Features

At the heart of the Express Espresso Machine is its high-performance conical burr grinder, which allows you to grind your beans fresh for each and every cup. The grinder has adjustable grind size and dose, so you can fine-tune your coffee to your precise taste preferences. And with the included Razor™ dose trimming tool, you can easily adjust the amount of coffee you want to use, ensuring that your espresso is always perfectly balanced.

The Breville Barista Express Espresso Machine also features a powerful dual-wall filter system that allows you to extract maximum flavor and aroma from your coffee. The machine comes with both a single and double-wall filter basket, so you can choose the perfect amount of crema for your drink. The machine also has a built-in milk frother, which allows you to easily create a wide range of milk-based drinks, from cappuccinos to lattes.

One of the most impressive features of the Breville Espresso Machine is its intuitive controls. The machine features a digital display that provides clear, easy-to-read information, including the grind size and dose, water temperature, and shot time. And with the included manual milk texturing, you can easily adjust the froth level of your milk, ensuring that your drinks are always just how you like them.

In addition to its impressive performance and features, the Breville Barista Express Espresso Machine is also incredibly easy to clean. The drip tray, grinds container and water tank are all removable and dishwasher safe. Speaking of maintenance, that’s one of the downsides of the machine. While it’s relatively easy to clean, it does require regular maintenance in order to make sure your coffee drink comes out perfectly each and every time.

Does the Breville Express Make a Great Cup of Java?

The most important question is, does it make good coffee? And one of the most impressive things about the Express Espresso Machine is its ability to make a perfect espresso shot. The machine’s built-in grinder allowed me to use my own beans, and the adjustable grind settings meant that I was able to fine-tune the grind to my liking. The result was an espresso shot that was rich, full-bodied, and packed with flavor. The crema on top of the espresso was thick and velvety, and it was a true joy to watch the shot being poured.

The Breville Barista Express Espresso Machine’s milk frother is another standout feature. It produced rich and creamy froth that was perfect for cappuccinos and lattes. The froth was so smooth and velvety that it nearly melts in your mouth. The machine’s dual wall filter baskets also help to ensure a consistent extraction. This combined with its pre-infusion function which allowed the coffee to bloom before extraction resulted in a more balanced and flavorful cup of coffee. It’s perfect for those who want to enjoy a more nuanced and complex cup of coffee. The machine also has a hot water outlet for Americanos, tea or hot chocolate

Overall, the Breville Barista Express Espresso Machine is a truly magical creation from the wizards at Breville, designed to bring café-quality coffee into your home with ease. With its impressive performance, intuitive controls, and easy-to-clean design, it’s no wonder that this machine has become a favorite among coffee lovers everywhere.
