Unboxing the most popular home espresso machine #coffee #barista #espresso

[SimonJamesCarter]

I’ve had mine for about 5 years and it’s the best thing I’ve ever bought. Proper barista style coffee at home. I love my machine

I have this machine, had it about 10 years… had to replace a seal in it maybe 5 years ago, it started leaking whenever I tried to make coffee. Emptied it, turned it upside down and unscrewed something and pulled out a damaged seal. Found a new one on eBay for like $30 and boom! Back in the game! Paid like $800 for this thing and can’t believe how great it has been.

Regarding the steaming temperature. A good rule of thumb is to stop steaming milk when it becomes too hot to touch. So you hold the bottom of the pitcher with one hand while the other hand controls angles.

breville being an australian company makes my aussie heart proud.

I have one of these at work. It's actually a decent machine. I kinda get jealous because it can be pretty consistent with the pull whereas my "nicer" setup at home can struggle sometimes.

I am very happy I decided to buy this machine as my first espresso machine. It works really well.

Bought this for 350€ (it was new but had a scratch so they sold it for waaay cheaper) and I believe I got a great deal. The espresso rabbit hole is a deep one though and I've already spent like another 200€ for accessories. I do make banging coffee drinks now.

A game changer would be if when grinding and dosing, it had a built in scale from where you attach the portafilter, to the grinder!

[Enrajpu]

Could you kindly do a tutorial on grind size adjusting AND THEN ALSO adjusting grind amount on this machine! I think this is where I’m getting stuck! Thanks!

[haoslife_mo]

Just got not long ago and love this machine! Want to have more tutorial about the machine, thank you !

I think it's odd the express comes with the dosing cup but the better model that's $400 more does not. I was mildly annoyed when I had to spend 25 on a dosing cup and the milk cup doesn't have a thermometer built in either. Took absolutely forever to calibrate, but does make some amazing espresso.

FYI la Pavoni has had an espresso machine with a built in grinder exactly like that for decades

What I dont like about this machine is that it doesn't allow for a necessary extraction temperature of 86° C. It only allows for 89 °C. At that temperature you may open yourself up to exposure to carcinogens especially if the beans are already burnt . The oils in the coffee beans require a lower temperature. The double broiler allows for a temperature of 86°C. Even though its more expensive as a machine, it seems like the best choice especially because the LED interface allows you to control the temperature much easier. I think Brevilles recommendation for using beans roasted within 5-20 days is ideal for coffee consumption all together. A medium to light roast may be the beginning in educating consumers about the importance of appropriate temperature so as to reduce carcinogenic exposure. People want fresh and appropriately prepared as much as possible for their health. Brevilles machines are a great start .

If you look at the oil composition of Coffee, its safer to extract at 86°C particularly depending on the roast. The USDA does a great job listing the oils present in Coffee beans. Breville Espress Espresso machine is a great place to start. I already own a seperate Breville grinder. Ive have some time puzzling over form and function for coffee drinks. Im glad I finally discovered their necessary nutritional needs. Its not just a look. Its art and nutrition. Wonderful.
Im glad I started with the Breville Express Expresso machine. Its helped me appreciate the rest of my coffee (and gastronomic) journey. I would never have understood unless I started with the basics.

Web using mine daily for six years now and still works perfectly.

It’s crazy how what is considered basic in the US costs ~90k INR in India. For context, that’s about 3.9k USD after adjusting for ppp

Bought mine for $300 almost brand new 8 yrs ago. Best thing I've ever bought!

[mohamedaateio]

Ive it for 3 years now. Very nice machine
