The Breville Barista Express is an espresso machine with a built-in conical burr grinder. It grinds beans right before brewing. A grind size dial adjusts from fine to coarse, and a grind amount dial sets the dose.
The patented Razor dose trimming tool trims the puck to a precise dose. Low-pressure pre-infusion gently expands the grounds at the start of extraction, and an espresso pressure gauge shows extraction pressure. A 15 bar Italian pump drives the brew.
A 1600 watt thermocoil and electronic PID temperature control keep water temperature stable. A hot water outlet preheats cups and makes Americanos. A cup warming tray keeps cups warm. Programmable volumetric control, sleep mode, auto-off mode and an Empty Me! drip tray indicator with cleaning alerts round out the controls.
