Barista Express

A good espresso machine. We bought a Breville Barista Express about 10 years ago. At the time I thought this was a crazy amount of money to spend, but my husband makes both of us an espresso drink almost everyday. The machine is still going strong and I think about how much money that has saved us c

Breville barista express often goes on sale for $500. It’s an all-in-1 that still makes great espresso. Or get the bambino and a good grinder

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 Breville Barista Express for its all-inclusiveness, the Rocket for its elegance, sturdiness, and quality, the Bambino for its compactness... I found the Baby Gaggia at a thrift store, and since it appeared to be in good shap

Save your money. Buy a Breville Barista Express. Justify it by saying you're saving money vs buying $9 coffee. End up drinking multiple cups of espresso every day for the next 5+ years, at least.

Id recommend the Breville Barista Express Impress specifically. The one in our office hammers out a whole bowl of pucks every day and doesn’t get cleaned on time and just keeps going - 2 years and counting. The tamp works really well and keeps the bench tidy of grind. The ui works well. It doesn’t s
