I absolutely love your videos! I’m not even looking to buy an espresso machine as I already own the Barista Touch, but I always watch everything you post. They always leave me smiling at the end with your little bits of wisdom. Love it!

bought the Breville Barista Express Impress last week because of this video after looking at different machines for weeks. Absolutely love the machine and would definitely recommend for beginners!

I've used my Impress twice a day for almost 6 months. I love it. I make a double in the am and then an americano which i dump over ice and it's a perfect iced coffee.

After previously owning 2 Delonghi machines i'm happy to have bought the Barista Impress on the back of your recommendation. Pours the perfect espresso every time with minimal effort and thats what the average joe like me is after at the end of the day.

[TobyHendersonUK]

Love my Express Impress! So pleased I bought it and was even more delighted with the price I got from following your antics, Kev. 👍🏻

3:44 There is an additional grind setting inside the coffee grinder.

[Yu-chi-em]

Great and honest comparison.
Quite brutal opinion on the DeLonghi…. Guess after this, they will never sell a machine again 😂

[silwerston]

could you compare "sage express impress" with the new delonghi "la specialista opera"?

[luke-uokk]

Do someone understands filter button on Sage? You can choose berween small and big cup, but it has nothing to do with choosing between big or small filter, but between single or dual wall filter. But knowing which is which is very weird. Anyone lost about that?

[ajaymistry]

Would you recommend the Barista Impress for someone coming from only using Nespresso machines?

[GeorgeDaher-cy]

on the Express Impress: is there any ese filter basket that can be used for this machine. sometimes, when I am in a hurry, I kinda prefer to use an ese pod on the go.... would really appreciate it if you could advise me where to get one? thank you

[mrworldtour]

Can you do an Delonghi Opera VS Breville Pro comparison

[richardb.bachir]

Hello there, is it possible to review the lelit mara x?

[johne]

It appears that the Impress doesn't have anything resembling a WDT built into its tamping mechanism. Are we to conclude, then, that a WDT is just so much horse feathers?

[imstigma]

it looks like both shots shown on the Sage is way too fast (and pressure indicator is much below the approx 1pm mark which is generally about right). Same with the Delonghi but likely not a lot that can be done there. Grind finer ;)

[TomsCoffeeCorner]

Hi Kev! Well done video, and I am sure one that will be interesting for many people considering these two options. I really don't know why Delonghi only offers 8 grind settings.
Anyway, I wanted to ask, are you currently using your M6, or did you switch over to BM? Which one do you like more for your videos? Cheers! Tom

[hkrm]

Nice video as usual. Thanks.
Honestly, comparing the best delonghi machine to even the Bambino is an insult to Breville/Sage.
cheers.

Sage Dual Boiler > other sage machines > DeLonghi

[AntonioRT]

I personally didn’t enjoy the sage machine at all as a avid coffee drinker I found it took way too long to find the right consistency it was either too watery or too intense I tried many different beans ground at different consistencies and still no nothing and this drove me to eventually sell up. I’m always looking to try imitate the coffee from an Italian bar and honestly for me you just can’t beat the traditional cafeteria to produce consistent and great tasting shots of espresso. I have chanced my luck again with a bean to cup machine and got myself a la specialista machine today only because it was an absolute steal price but my thoughts are it cannot be as bad as the sage machine was to use overall.

What is your opinion on delonghi la specialista maestro?
