Review: Breville Barista Express Impress

 

Breville's in a bit of a bind here, as basing it on weight would mean incorporating a couple of scales into the machine. That would put it into an altogether different price bracket and perhaps alienate the beginners it's looking to attract. Before I...

Right out of the box, beginners can make good to very good espresso. Some of the trickier parts of espresso-making are automated, but users still feel like they're part of the process.

More variation from shot to shot than one might hope, even when all the variables are pegged. Also, the training wheels are bolted on tight! If you're into the hows and whys of making coffee, you'll want a different setup.

Finally, and this will be a whopper for some, you don't want to use anything but fancy beans with this machine. Breville's rule of thumb is that if the coffee bag has a “roasted on” label, you're probably fine—and in my words, “best before” is an...

Great Machine!

 

Purchased this to upgrade from an entry level machine I had. Am a Starbucks fan and this allows me to make great Expresso and cap at home. Easy to use for beginners with settings for advanced users. So happy I upgraded!

Breville Expresso Machine

 

Don't bother with this! I purchased one, it broke 8 months later and when I called about repairs, was made to feel as though I had done something to break it and had not cleaned it properly and that's why it broke. I was also put though a lengthy...

Makes perfect espresso!

 

I bought this machine a few weeks ago. It works great. I am not an experienced barista but this machine makes consistent, smooth espresso. I struggled with my old espresso machine that I had for years, my shots were bitter most of the time. I feel like...
