Key Product Features
- Integrated Grinder – Conical stainless steel burr grinder speeds things up. The new 8 oz hopper takes its design cues from Breville’s fetching Smart Grinder.
- Programmable Volumetrics – Set water volume for single or double espressos for consistent water levels with each brew cycle.
- Temperature Control – A built in PID maintains the water temperature at an ideal 200°F during extraction, but you can increase your brew temperature up or down 4°F in 2 degree increments to dial in the perfect shot. An auto-purge function returns the machine to an optimal espresso extracting temperature.
- Razor Dosing Tool – Breville’s patented stainless steel dosing tool trims up your portafilter post-tamp for consistent shots every time.
- Energy Efficient – Barista Express automatically enters standby mode after 1 hour and turns off after 3 hours.
- Hot Water Dispenser – A dedicated hot water pipe makes crafting Americanos a piece of cake.
- Basket Options – The machine ships with double and single pressurized and non-pressurized baskets (4 total)
- Stainless Steel Steam Wand – The swivel ball-mounted steam wand allows you to position your pitcher as needed for maximum froth control.
