Description
The Breville's Barista Express features an integrated conical burr grinder that delivers the right amount of freshly ground coffee directly into the portafilter for your preferred taste. This machine uses a 0.5 Lbs. bean hopper and an adjustable grind size dial, allowing for precise control over the texture of your espresso beans. By grinding on demand, it ensures the maximum freshness of the coffee oils, which is essential for high quality espresso extraction at home.
Digital temperature control (PID) technology ensures water is delivered at the precise temperature required for optimal espresso extraction. This system works alongside a low pressure pre-infusion process, which gradually increases pressure at the start of the cycle to help draw out flavors evenly. The 15 bar Italian pump provides the necessary force to create a rich, creamy crema that rivals professional cafe standards.
Equipped with a manual steam wand, this unit allows you to hand texture microfoam milk to enhance the flavor of your lattes and cappuccinos. The simple interface includes buttons for single and double shots, alongside a pressure gauge that monitors extraction in real time. The 67 fl. oz. removable water tank includes a replaceable filter to ensure the purity of every beverage served.
Restaurant Size Recommendations
This unit is designed for residential use or small office breakrooms. It is not rated for high volume commercial environments but fits perfectly on home countertops.
Maintenance Advice
Regular descaling is required to prevent mineral buildup in the heating system. Users should also wipe the steam wand after every use and clean the grinder burrs periodically.
