And why not: the price point is absolutely fantastic (it can often be found under $500, and that includes the grinder) it looks fantastic and serious (especially with the pressure gauge up front) comes in a variety of colours (we’re testing the Black Sesame model), and it functions extremely well based on hundreds of thousands of units sold in the past 6 years. Breville claims it’s the #1 in both Canada and the USA. The Breville Barista Express is one of the top selling espresso machines in North America, if not the absolute top of the list. We’re working on a full detailed review as well, with some detailed testing, focus group commentary, and long term usage and observation of the machine, but for now, this is our very first impressions of the machine. This is CoffeeGeek’s First Look at the Breville Barista Express, model number BES870XL. But everything points to the Barista Express having a very good one, especially at its price point. It was always “safer” to go with a separate espresso machine and coffee grinder, for a variety of reasons: if one broke down, the other was still usable if you wanted more than just espresso in the home, having an independent grinder made tha possible and if the grinder wasn’t very good, you were stuck with it.Ĭombi machines of the 2000s had pretty bad grinders. For the longest time, we’ve resisted looking at this machine (and the other Barista machines in Breville’s lineup) because of really bad experiences with “combi machines” (what espresso machine and grinder combos were called in the 2000s) from Italy and elsewhere. This machine is wildly popular, and is constantly ranked highly by owners across the Internets. It’s the Breville Barista Express, an espresso and grinder combination machine. It’s got legions of fans, but it’s only been more recently that serious, independent looks and reviews have been given to it. It’s currently the most popular espresso machine in Canada, and one of the top machines in the USA. It’s been around since 2011, and got its one and only major overhaul in 2013.
