Breville Barista Express BES870

The Barista Express is a semi-automatic espresso machine with a built-in conical burr grinder: you grind and extract with a single appliance, choosing among 16 grind settings. The coil heating system is paired with electronic temperature control, which keeps the water at a steady temperature for extraction. The pump works at 9 bar during extraction and starts with a low-pressure infusion. The portafilter is 54 mm and the steam wand is manual, for texturing milk by hand. It suits those who want to learn to make espresso at home without buying a separate grinder; anyone who prefers a 58 mm portafilter or an automatic steam wand will find a different kind of use here.
