    Breville Barista Impress Espresso Review

    I purchased the Breville One Touch Barista Impress on Christmas Eve. I initially went in planning to buy a less expensive model, but after speaking with a Best Buy associate who was extremely knowledgeable and informative, I decided to upgrade. The decision was made even easier by Best Buy’s 2-year no-interest financing option. I had not been drinking coffee for over a year, despite previously being a regular tea drinker. Since purchasing this machine, my wife and I are making coffee at home that is genuinely better than what we were buying at Dunkin or Starbucks. The quality, taste, and consistency are outstanding. The machine is very easy to use, even for beginners, and the cleaning process is simple and straightforward. Everything about it feels well-designed and user-friendly. Between the performance of this espresso machine and Best Buy’s excellent customer service and financing options, this was a great purchase. I will continue to shop at Best Buy and highly recommend this machine to anyone considering an at-home espresso setup.

    Makes café-quality drinks at home

    I’m really impressed with this machine. Setup was simple, and it feels solid and well-built. The touchscreen is intuitive, and it walks you through every step so there’s no guesswork. The espresso comes out rich with great crema, and the steam wand produces café-quality microfoam for lattes and cappuccinos. I also like that it gives you control over grind size and shot volume, which lets you dial in drinks to your taste. It heats up quickly and looks great on the counter. For the price, the value is excellent compared to daily coffee runs.

    You'll Like This A Latte!

    This is a real upgrade from my super automatic espresso maker. From the sound of its operation, it was on its last legs so I was casually looking around for a replacement. Originally, I chose an automatic because I didn't want to hassel with the mess of grinding and the uncertainty of using the portafilter to create the perfect puck. Plus, I love freshly ground coffee, I got a deal and I wanted something simple. Fortunately, for me the Breville rep was in the store doing demonstrations and she took the time to show me how to make the best Americano I've ever had! Mostly, she walked me through the process and helped me understand how to use the equipment with the built-in control software to easily get the right grind and timing to quickly make a fresh espresso puck and extract my drink. The controls for streaming and frothing the variety of different milk products were very easy to learn and change for my wife and my coffee making. It took an hour to review Brevils instructions on the Bilt app doing exactly how to unbox, check and clean the parts, set it up and start operating the machine. Then it took 4 or 5 tries to make my wife's mocha lattes the way she likes them. We are still refining our drinks and enjoying the process. The program software is intuitive and easy to use especially when pressing the puck. The Breville is easy to use, simple to operate and easy to clean. I'm looking forward to getting my freshly roasted beans from Breville's Beanz store. The machine seemed a bit expensive, but factoring in 4 to 5 drinks per day plus coffee supplies and maintenance, it should pay for itself in less than a year. I staged the photos of the Breville so you can compare the size its slightly larger than the automatic, but it is manageable.

    Excellent Machine

    Waited about a year before choosing a machine. We absolutely chose the right one for us. The touch screen walks us through the various drink options. Whether we make an espresso, cappuccino or latte they all come out perfectly. Can’t wait to try the espresso martini option !
