Breville Barista express | 6 Months Review | Sage

I bought this coffee machine for myself personally a few months ago and wanted to share my honest opinion.

I did some extensive research on different options before I bought the Barista Express. This is why I wanted to share my opinion and there is nothing I enjoy more than a smooth and tasty flat white in the morning.

If you are thinking about buying this machine, you’re probably wondering the same things I was:
- Is it a good coffee machine
- How much would I use it
- How much space does it need
- Can I make a real barista coffee...

I hope this video can be of help to anyone who is in the process of buying a new coffee machine.

Let me know in the comment section below your thoughts, stories.

Bought this machine two years ago and it was money well spent. Once you learn about the right grind for your beans you can brew great coffee. Use it every morning and it has transformed my enjoyment of coffee.

i got one of these machines and i really like it, i wash my diffuser out before and after use by running a single shot over the empty basket, it also helps heat up for use, i have set the concave to 3 inside the grinder and use 7 on the fine-corse adjustment wheel on the outside i get 6 double shot cups from the hopper before having to refill, always have a damp cloth handy to wipe the milk wand as well as the inside of the diffuser holder in the machine. and i aim to run a pressure at 11o'clock on the gauge. i use filtered water to fill the tank even though it has a filter inside. my water tastes better after being filtered then what comes out of my tap . the deffuser funnel is a must for not making mess under the grinder as it holds the peak of grounds before tamping. love good coffee and this makes great coffee at home

This is branded as Breville in the USA and it a usually $599. I’m a coffee novice, but I love mine and since I’ve been home on parental leave, I’ve been able to make a lot of espresso. It’s really user friendly and it’s a great machine for the price.

Why is there no sound once the making coffee part starts?

Salut & merci for your honest review, I agree on all points. I have had my Barista Express for 1 week now and I regret nothing.... this tastes like my quality coffee shop down the road ;)

How do you change water? I mean that is almost 2nd most important point

Audio disappears completely for me between 9:40 and 12:10 😮

I watched this video and bought a sage barista express. I both drink good coffee and record quality videos. I would recommend it to anyone who wants an espresso machine.

Great review and on point. Although if I had to add one thing to the video, it would be to maybe not hold your portafilter with ready coffee for too long idly set on the machine without pulling a shot, since the shower-head is hot and it will burn your grounds. Other than that really great advises and maybe you can try a naked portafilter, because it will help you with improving your shots drastically and the b-roll from it will be amazing. Stay safe and keep on doing good videos!

Very thorough review. Thank you very much.

Are you French and lived in North West England? Your accent is so unique!

[jamesoconnor]

You're adorable. Thanks for an excellent review!

When can I add sugar? To the coffee or the milk?

[SuperMatrix]

Cuz it’s a monster. That’s why it makes noise. A corvette is fast, it’s not built to be silent. The machine is a workhorse. It’s not that it’s a single boiler why the steam wand takes time it’s because it’s thermal block boiler. It’s slower. The other sound is the purge, it does this because after your froth you can go right to pulling a shot. The new version of your model is the pro. It’s thermal jet. Heats in under 3 secs.

Great review. Does the weighing scales come with it or where did you buy that?

[TheEmdeez]

Hi I was really enjoying your video but no sound as the video hit 9:38. Could you please check? I would really like to understand the coffee making part. Thanks.

[Rubrk]

Is it just me or does the audio cut from 9:37? Doesn't return until 3 minutes later. I liked the parts of the review I could hear though.

Delonghi La Specialista Arte is better in my opinion
