Features & Accessories
This may be a beautiful machine, but it's also well-appointed with professional-grade features that translate into delicious coffee drinks every, single time.
Components & Functionality
- It's A Beauty: The Barista Express body, controls and tamping head are formed using the highest-grade aluminum and zinc. Unlike thinner pressed metals, die-cast construction molds molten metals at intense temperatures. The result is the ultimate in durability and performance, and a more refined finish.
- Grind, Baby, Grind: The Conical Burr Grinder has a grind size dial that accurately adjusts fineness of the grind for correct water dispersion. Activated simply by one-touch grinding cradle with auto-stop.
- Attached Tamper: The integrated tamper with magnetized lock in storage allows you to tamp to your preference while attached to the machine or on the counter.
- Make it a Venti: With a full 4.5 inch clearance, this machine is designed to accommodate larger cups and travel mugs, making it ideal not just for espresso, but for variations like Americano, cappuccino and latte.
- Set It and Go: Two programmable buttons allow for automatically dispensing the same amount of espresso or coffee each time.
- Make It Smooth, Make it Silky: The 15 bar Triple-Prime pump automatically releases three bursts of hot water into the filter head, causing the ground coffee or espresso pod to expand. This increases pressure, allowing the machine to extract more crema, giving the coffee a rich, smooth texture and taste. Each of the included single or double solid stainless steel filters incorporates Breville's unique dual-wall crema technology.
- Stainless Steel Steam Wand: The swivel ball-mounted steam wand allows you to position your cup as you need to to achieve the maximum froth. A separate wand dispenses hot water on demand.
- Thermoblock Boiler: This system maintains the water at an ideal 204 degrees F during extraction. While steaming, it reaches temperatures of over 250 degrees F. The unique auto-purge function releases a measured amount of steam to return the temperature to the optimal level.
