I got a Breville Barista Express over a year ago and it has paid for itself twice over; 3-4x over if I was getting a $7 coffee daily. Plus, the cortados I make for myself, and the lattes I make for my wife, are better than most of the ones we’re getting out and about. Bonus was that I got it on sale

As an officer and understanding this is a joke but not being able to let it slide… that’s too expensive for a Breville. The barista express is all you need and the touch screen/automation aspects actually make the machine worse. No high end machines are automatic. At work we have a $5k Jura automati

Relative to actual BIFL options, Breville is very cheap. BIFL espresso machines are in the range of $1.5k to $5k, and BUFL espresso grinders are in the range of $600 to $1.5k. The Breville Barista express is a full espresso machine with built in grinder and is “only” $700. So a Breville bean-to-cup

Breville Barista Express is the standard go-to for home espresso/coffee making. Buy your favourite beans and enjoy. Takes a bit of practice getting the right grind to water ratio but it’s worth it in the long run

Lets look at the cons based on my exp with a Breville Barista Express. ● mahal ung mga filter tablets. 1k ata per pack/ 6 pieces. ● aside sa matagal ung final product, you have to clean it every time you use it. Otherwise, may build up, may amoy, and pests can enter. ● the machine has a grinder, per

Espresso machine. Recommend Breville Barista Express. Espresso shot on the way out the door is clutch in the morning (or pre night shift) and faster than making/drinking a regular coffee imo. A little pricey but pays for itself if you otherwise buy coffee/espresso drinks regularly and also fun to ex

I have no idea about wattage converting or warranty claims in south east Asia but out of these two machines the Breville is higher quality and will make better coffee. That said, as someone with a Breville Barista Express, if I were purchasing an entry level espresso machine again I would get a Brev

That’s one of the problem with those breville machine with integrated grinders, the grinder kinda sucks so it’s a bit harder to dial in beans properly because it’s a bit inconsistent. It’s also hard to justify paying 300$+ for a okay grinder when you already have one on yout machine. But if you want

Breville Barista Express, stopped going out for coffee and the Breville is top notch and makes a mean cup of coffee.

It’s the second item - precision adjustment. The BBE has large ‘steps’. Steps are the settings of your grinder that you see on the side of the machine. The issue is you may pull a bitter shot at 7, but a sour shot at 8 and you’re out of luck to dial in further using grind size. That being said I use
