Express Impress
Breville Barista Express…

This is my first expresso machine. I’ve had pod coffee makers for years. I wanted to step up my coffee game and decided on an espresso maker. At first glance I loved the shininess. It was hardly anything to install. I was really intimidated as I’ve only watched others make an espresso. After many many videos I have learnt how to use the machine. Breville calls this machine the “4 keys formula” that refers to the correct dose, consistent water temperature, adequate pressure and the ability to create micro foam. I love how it’s an all in one. The assured tamping is great. I’ve seen other machines and how complicated it looks to hand tamp. The only con I have is it does purge quite a bit of water into the drip tray. It is also quite bulky and takes up quite a bit of counter space. Having to empty the tray every other day. Especially after steaming. But I do love the steam milk so I will continue to do so. Everything is included there are 4 filter baskets, a milk pitcher, cleaning tools and even comes with your first water filter. All you need are beans and water and you’re good to go. I also love the hidden drawer under the machine to store all the baskets and tools and cleaning supplies. Overall I’m still getting used to making the perfect cup of espresso. It’s definitely a learning curve and I’m learning something new every day.
