Assisted tamping, which is the step most people get wrong. The Express with the hard part solved.
4.7 out of 5
Assisted tamping is the fix for the step most people get wrong, and it is why this is the Barista Express to buy. Consistent puck preparation does more for a shot than any other single change. Still slow to heat compared with the Barista Pro.
