Features
  • Integrated Grinder: Conical stainless steel burr grinder speeds things up. The new 8 oz hopper takes its design cues from Breville's fetching Smart Grinder.
  • Programmable Volumetrics: Set water volume for single or double espressos for consistent water levels with each brew cycle.
  • Temperature Control: A built in PID maintains the water temperature at an ideal 200°F during extraction, but you can increase your brew temperature up or down 4°F in 2 degree increments to dial in the perfect shot. An auto-purge function returns the machine to an optimal espresso extracting temperature.
  • Razor Dosing Tool: Breville's patented stainless steel dosing tool trims up your portafilter post-tamp for consistent shots every time.
  • Energy Efficient: Barista Express automatically enters standby mode after 1 hour and turns off after 3 hours.
  • Hot Water Dispenser: A dedicated hot water pipe makes crafting Americanos a piece of cake.
  • Basket Options: The machine ships with double and single pressurized and non-pressurized baskets (4 total)
  • Stainless Steel Steam Wand: The swivel ball-mounted steam wand allows you to position your pitcher as needed for maximum froth control.
    • Pros
      • Dedicated Hot Water Dispenser: This update makes americanos or hot tea a breeze.
      • Huge Capacity: 67oz side-access water tank with optional filter.
      • Tools Included: New machines come with a perfectly sized tamper, frothing pitcher, cleaning and dosing tools.
      • Adjustable Temperature: Adjusting the brew temperature up or down 4 degrees gives you some leeway to fine-tune your shot.
    • Cons
      • Coffee Sludge: Despite an upgraded drip tray design, an integrated grinder means superfluous espresso grounds will collect and mix in your drip tray.

  • How Does it Compare?

    This is the latest version of Breville's Barista Express. Updates from the previous BES860XL model include a dedicated hot water dispenser, updated stainless steel conical burr grinder, hopper styling for smoother operation, and an upgraded drip tray.

  • Tips and Tricks
