Barista Express Impress

Exakt, die ganze Epidermie mit den 'kalibrierten' Tampern ist eine Plage. Das wichtige ist zu tampen, bis der Puck halt gepresst ist und der tamper sich nicht mehr bewegt. Und das waagerecht, nicht schräg. Das kann jeder normale tamper, wichtiger ist eher Ergonomie und, dass weniger Luft zum Sieb se

Ooowww, now this interesting! Seriously consider this before you decide! I have a profited go and a mignon sdp, and my good childhood friend, AND door to door neighbour (I live in an apartment building) has a breville barista express impress (the one with grinder and tamper). We decided to do some c

One feature I think you should include, though Breville's documentation doesn't make this easy, is whether or not the steam wand on a unit is insulated. It's a significant quality of life feature as it prevents foam from cooking onto the wand during foaming which is particularly hard to clean off of

I was in a similar boat and researched all these models, too. I ended up getting a Touch for a few reasons: Auto milk frothing: This has been really helpful because as a person who has never brewed my own coffee other than k-cups, I could just focus on learning how to dial in the expresso first and

In your circumstance…. Very hard decision. For taste… I can confirm that HX machine (Mara X) will give better coffees (I upgraded to HX machine from barista express impress).

It's really not a cost issue. Bambino Plus + DF54 = $650 when you can find them on sale. That's about the cost of an Barista Express Impress. Learning curve for the Bambino+DF54 is higher. That's really the only down side, as long as you're OK with single-dosing. Unless you're using it all in the sa

Here is my question…. Some people have fear of learning to extract espresso and prefer total automation. Fortunately… full automatic coffee machines slowly come out from commercial level and give good taste but consumer market will take longer to have fully automatic machine with good taste. I tried

Exactly this. Only change would be step 2 with aeration. Depending on the strength of the steam wand it can take anywhere from a few seconds to a minute to add in the proper amount of air. I have the breville BEI and it has a very underpowered steam wand

Did anyone find a solution? My old bes870 didn't have this issue ever and ground coffee much finer even with outer burr on 6 but now my bes878 and bes880 both do the same as mentioned in this thread. With both higher end models the same beans cannot be ground fine enough unless the outer burr is 3 o

Ninja Luxe Cafe Premier - the price point is excellent ($569 on sale), and the ease of use from added functionality (weighing scale based dosing, grind size recommendations and auto milk) is well worth it over something like the Breville Barista Express Impress
