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

I just bought one. Breville Barista Express Impress machine. Honestly I think its a waste of money and purely marketing hype. They advertised it on the premise of "microplastic free brewing" but thats a lie. You replace metal parts with metal parts. Still all the plastic in the machine. In terms of

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

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). Other things… you just said you have kids… HX machine e61 groupset is very hot. If your kids touch the head firmly, it might

I upgraded my machine from Breville barista impress with DF54 to HX machine (Manus S). Initial taste was noticeably improved without dial-in. I am looking for upgrading my grinder but with $800 budget, limited options and I’m not sure there is GBW grinder for the budget. I have budget for $800-1k so

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

Personally I think it's the worst part of these machines. The only machines that have such a system I can find are, Ninja Luxe Café Series, Sage Barista Touch Impress, Sage Barista Express Impress, and the Melitta Barista TS Smart. Many users of the Ninja and Sage/Breville systems all complain about

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
