Breville Barista Express Espresso Machine, Brushed Stainless Steel
Grinder, portafilter and steam wand in one machine. The standard first real espresso setup for a reason.
Our rating
4.7 out of 5
The machine that made home espresso normal. Grinder, portafilter and steam wand in one box, so there is nothing else to buy to get started. Heat-up is slow and the steam wand takes practice. It is genuinely a hobby, not an appliance — buy it for someone who wants the hobby.
