Barista Express Impress Espresso Machine

$799.95

Breville

Breville's most popular machine allows you to create specialty coffee at home from bean to espresso in less than a minute. The best of the Barista Express with the Impress Puck System. This machine helps you achieve the perfect dose and a precise tamp while reducing the grinds on the machine and bench top. It features an integrated conical burr grinder with 25 grind settings, which automatically calculates the dose based on the last grind, ensuring it's ready for the next use. The assisted tamping system has a 7° barista twist finish, providing a precise 22lb / 10kg impression. With this machine, you can create true microfoam milk essential for latte art.
