Breville Barista Express Impress BES876BSS

We love this espresso machine. The size fits perfectly on our counter and you can tell it's made to last. The adjustable coffee temperature lets us get the flavor just how we like it, and the grinder and tamping system make the process smooth and consistent. The espresso comes out rich and full of flavor every time. We have used it every day for over a year. Most days that means lattes, and the rest of the time straight espresso or an americano, so both the shot side and the steam wand get a real workout.

The steam wand is the part with a learning curve. Getting milk silky enough for latte art takes practice, and we are still practicing. That is on us, not the machine, but expect it if milk drinks are why you are buying it.

This machine is the real deal. Best purchase we have made for our kitchen.
