Breville Barista Express Impress Automatic Espresso Machine, Damson Blue #BES876DBL

The machine looks lovely and the colour gives it a modern look. We bought this to replace a ten year old Breville Oracle which had begun to misbehave. I was worried about what seemed to be trading down but honestly I have come to prefer it. I am making better tasting espresso now. It takes some trial and error, and YouTube videos, to get the machine dialled in, which simply means getting the optimum grind to produce an espresso shot that you like. The intelligent dose and tamp mechanism makes this easy and repeatable too. I’m happy to steam the milk but haven’t mastered latte art as yet.

Great machine

There's a small learning curve to make a perfect espresso, but the machine makes it easy. We're very happy with it!

Awesome machine

I’ve had various coffee machines in the past and have to admit this one beats them all! Excellent quality parts, design and functionality Easy to use (maybe not so for a beginner— but possible with some patience) and makes a great cup of coffee each and every time!
