Breville the Barista Express Espresso Machine

Description Make cafe-quality espresso, cappuccinos, and caffè lattes at home with the Breville Barista Express grind-and-brew espresso machine. This unit has features to take you through every step of the brewing process from grinding fresh coffee beans for the espresso grounds, to steaming milk into a luscious microfoam for making designer drinks and latte art. Breville made the BES870XL simple to use yet customizable at every stage of the process: users can adjust how much ground espresso goes into each cup, how much water goes into single and double shots, how hot brewing and pre-infusion temperatures are, and more. Better yet, these settings can be saved to ensure you get a consistent cup of espresso in each pull. The Barista Express removes all the moisture from used espresso pucks to compress them into brown little buttons for easy disposal. This unit is backed by a 1-year warranty through Breville USA.
