Consider the Barista Express like a luxury SUV to your single-cup coffee maker’s 1993 Toyota Camry. The latter will certainly get you from point A to point B (caffeine in your bloodstream), but the former offers alllll the perks. That includes a built-in burr grinder for the freshest cup, precision digital temperature control for pinpoint coffee extraction and a steam wand for silky microfoam. The machine also has a choice of automatic or manual operation for when you feel like putting on your barista apron…or you just woke up.

Or as one buyer notes, "As an aspiring home barista, I was seeking an espresso machine that could provide a high-quality brew without a steep learning curve. After extensive research, I landed on the Breville Barista Express, and I can confidently say it has exceeded my expectations," they rave. "Aesthetically, the Barista Express is a real winner, but the true star of this machine is its functionality. The ability to grind beans directly into the portafilter and then pull espresso shots is remarkably convenient and fun to experiment with. The grind size adjustment allows you to fine-tune the extraction to your personal preferences, providing a level of customization that is rare at this price point."
