Breville Barista Pro Vs Barista Express: Side-by-side comparison

Показать описание

Clarifications:
1) Buy the Breville Barista Pro in Truffle Black or Damson Blue (check the link above). Much better than stainless steel.
2) The Breville Barista Express is still a solid espresso machine, especially for the price. But, the Barista Pro edges out the Express on multiple levels - espresso, steaming, dialing in, workflow - that it is clearly worth the extra $ when comparing Breville Barista Express vs Barista Pro. You’ll hold onto this machine for several years, and the upgraded heating system is worth it.
3) If you like the analog pressure gauge, get the Barista Express. Very understandable :)

Thanks for the video! Would love a comparison between Barista Pro and Barista Touch

That's one of the massive downsides of the Express. Temperatures fluctuate massively meaning you get different tasting shots every time. Something most reviews don't mention

Well done for switching the nozzles. Both these machines seem to be too much of a faff for a morning. I'll stick with our fully automatic bean-to-cup.

Thanks for review ! Did you try Barista Pro with coffee ground by good standalone grinder ? I am wondering if built-in conical burr grinder is a factor. At a price about +20% one can buy Eureka Mignon grinder and something like Gaggia Classic machine. The question is if it's worth skipping points like size, etc. What do you think ?

I've had 4 Barista Pro's and each one broke within days. Also the grinder is not fit for purpose. You only have to look on YouTube to see all the clips saying they can't get an expresso fine grind. Personally I'd swerve any Sage/Breville products after my experience with them. The customer service is dreadful.

Weird! Just looked up his Barista Espresso Model and can only find it with Pressure Gauge on front. Plus enormous disparity in prices so as to be somewhat confusing. So much so I think I will continue with my current Sage separates, which after all give me an excellent result when set up correctly (Thanks Coffee Kev!). Also worth noting is that although a 'fiddly job to master at first' taking the grinder apart and a proper clean and reset keeps a good result. Doubtful that it can be done properly on this one incorporated in base machine. But hey, early days. Look forward to future Comments. Let the battle begin 🧐

I think if people aren’t interested in steaming milk or that concerned about heating times, the consistency in water temp isn’t going to mean much for a 200$ increase in price

Nice video! May I just ask How are temp/pressure consistencies of express impress compare to pro? Could it produce consistent result as per pro ?

As someone who is going from an Aeropress and Keurig steam milk setting and only wants one machine for at least the next two years plus or even longer do you really think the extra like 200 bucks is worth it over the express? I am an absolutely coffee newbie. I use this scooper I got on my coffee container that says 1/8 cup 30 ml on it and I use two full scoops of that so I actually don't know what that equates to in terms of a dosage or anything like that like single shot or double shot I have no idea but with the aero press it's a bit too bitter so I use 2 tablespoons of a hazelnut 0 sugar creamer and 2tablespoons of a silk caramel creamer because I don't want a lot of sugar but it's not been turning out to be too good. I like more foam in the milk and I am moving this month so I am unsure what machine to get. I don't mind spending the 600+ I don't want to spend too much but I also don't want to compromise too much as it's gonna be my only machine.
