## Description

Breville BES870XL Barista Express Espresso Machine

Review: I've had this almost two years now, so I figured it was time for a proper review. If you don't want to read my in depth review but just my quick opinion and are in the market for a semi-automatic espresso maker (with grinder!), you can't beat this machine for the money it costs (especially here compared to a department store). It comes with a satisfactory grinder (anything better itself will cost you hundreds of dollars on its own), and an easy to use (and learn) espresso maker which makes good espresso, latte's, etc. (assuming you don't use garbage beans of course). Its been nearly two years and I've yet to have a problem and still works just as good as it did the day I got it. I'll start with the cons, because there aren't many and they are very minor, picky issues. The grinder: I find the size setting to be slightly misleading. I'd assume you could use the full range of grind sizes, but anything less than a 4 you'll have trouble pulling a shot with the proper pressure. Over time I've found I've needed to reduce the grind size more and more, but that could be to poor (lack of) regular cleaning habits because I'm lazy. The pressure gauge. There's an "espresso range" on it which you may think anywhere in that is OK. Its not. To get a good pull you'll need to make sure it starts around at least "12:30" and ideally about "1:00" if you treat it like a clock (pointing straight up would be 12:00). Once you get a feel for the grind and how much tamp pressure to use, you'll be able to do this with regular ease after a couple weeks of use (assuming you mainly stick with one type of espresso). The port-a-filter. Its not standard sized so it may be hard to replace. No big deal. Those interested in this probably have more "professional" machines anyways and aren't in the market for this. Now onto the good things: If you've never used a steam wand before, this is probably a good machine for you. Enthusiasts may say its not good or powerful enough, but its great to learn on. Its not a "double boiler" machine where you can froth milk and do the espresso at the same time, but for starter home use its great. Those double boiler machines start at 2-3 times the price of this. If you only make lattes for yourself a couple times a day (like me), its perfect. Because its doesn't use a boiler, its a little slower. That actually makes it EASIER to make perfect milk for the novice (also like me!). By the time I'm done making a latte, I've probably spent about 3 minutes. That's about 6 minutes out of my day which is quicker than waiting forever at st*rb*cks for something worse. The grinder: Its built in. Enough said. Clean it out once in a while and you'll be fine. Making espresso: You can adjust the temperature within 4 degrees of 200f (the factory setting). Adjust according to your taste and beans you are using (I'm not an expert, there's a ton and probably too much info out there on the subject). I keep mine at 202 as it brings out slightly better flavor for the standard bean I use. If you're using relatively fresh coffee beans, you shouldn't have much trouble pulling a decent shot. Maintenance/cleaning: its easy to use the cleaning cycle. Don't buy the cleaning tabs or descaling solutions. Buy Cafiza tabs as they will cost you a fraction of what the Breville ones cost for regular cleaning. Dezcal can be bought for descaling also with the same cost difference. The drip tray is dishwasher safe (top shelf). I put mine in about every two weeks. In between that, I give it a good rinse when the tray is full to get rid of any grime that may have built up. If I get 2 more years out of this, I'll be extremely happy. I've already gotten back my return on investment.
Review: I was looking to get a expresso machine for a while and saw this on deal during sale. I was about to get Hibrew but for the price Breville Barista Express was available it was a no brainier. Overall excellent performance and fast delivery by desertcart and Latteholic. They even gave a free bag of beans inside the box.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: I'll be using this mainly for long black/americanos. Any tips or downsides to getting the most brewed liquid? I love a big, hearty mug of joe.**
A: Do not let the water run through the coffee in the portafilter once the shot is done, like others suggest. For long black and americano, put the hot water in the mug first, then pull the double onto the water. For a nice long black, I suggest just 100ml of hot water before pulling your double shot (doppio) of 60ml from 18g of coffee. For an americano, use 200ml of water more or less to taste. Do not pull more than 65 ml from portafilter. My idea of a long black is actually stronger, 60ml water and 60ml from shot.

**Q: Will the machine fit on top of this protective mat? I'm not sure of the dimensions. http://amzn.to/2l8g4zZ**
A: It will not fit on top but you can definitely lay it in front of your machine as it looks like it intended for  tamping your grounds...

**Q: What are the significant improvements of the 870 over the 860 Express besides hot water and 1600W?**
A: In addition to Randy B.'s CommentOne of the Most Important features/ changes to the 870 is the ThermoCoil Change, as the 860 had a Bolt together two Halfs with a seal sandwiched in between the two halfs this was a Possible failure point and could Leak down the road. I have seen reports of the thermo Block of the 860 leaking, But the new 870 uses a ThermoCoil,  it is a Full length of Stainless Steel tubing (the water only comes in contact with the stainless steel) that coils around a few times nothing is Bolted together as the tubing is one continuous length to eliminate Leaks, and is surrounded by Aluminum, this alum houses the heater and makes for Fast heating up, for steaming and cooling down to 200 degrees for pulling the shot, so temps are more precise than before. This New ThermoCoil is a big Improvement over the 860 model. I saw a cut away version of both the 860 thermo block and the 870 thermoCoil the 870 is a much better design and should last a long time, as long as you don't run it out of water and burn it up. The Grinder Burrs have a little better/tighter tolerance for a little finer grinds. In addition to Randy B.'s Comment

**Q: Do I need to buy any other thing besides the coffee beans to use this machine well? For example, "Stainless Steel Frothing Pitcher".**
A: This machine has been great. I use it in my cafe in Mexico. Its on all day and makes alot of coffee. I did buy a stainless steel frothing so I could make certain espressos. I have a couple of extra of all excersories. They are much cheaper in the States. I also have a themostat to tell me how hot the milk is.

Esta cafetera destaca por su sólida construcción y funcionalidad. Incluye un molino ajustable que permite personalizar fácilmente la molienda según tus preferencias. Su uso es sencillo, con un adaptador que asegura que el café molido quede dentro del portafiltro sin derrames. El vaporizador de leche hace un trabajo decente, suficiente para la mayoría de los usuarios. Aunque existen opciones con un rendimiento superior, suelen ser significativamente más costosas. Además, incluye filtros específicos para preparar café de máquina regular y te permite elaborar espressos simples o dobles con facilidad. El depósito de agua tiene una capacidad de 1 litro e incluye un único filtro. Por ello, es recomendable adquirir un kit adicional de filtros para prolongar su utilidad. Algo a tener en cuenta es que la máquina desperdicia algo de agua, acumulándola en un contenedor interno que avisa cuando está lleno. Sin embargo, este depósito requiere vaciarse cada 10 o 15 espressos, lo que podría ser un pequeño inconveniente. Llevo un año utilizando esta cafetera y estoy muy satisfecho. Me gusta especialmente que es fácil de mantener limpia y que incluye un tamper magnético para compactar el café, lo que le da un toque elegante y funcional. En resumen, una excelente compra que combina calidad, diseño y practicidad a un precio razonable.
