Breville Barista Express BES870XL Semi Automatic Espresso Machine YouTube

A classic in its own time, the BES870XL Express is a newer version of a heritage machine. It is well-known for making good espresso quickly and easily. Both new brewers and life long coffee snobs will be pleased with the features of this machine. The Express is not a small machine. It measures 13.2 inches tall by 12.5 inches wide by 15.8 inches long. It weighs a solid 23 pounds. It comes with a typical one year warranty with free replacement shipping. Breville understands that crafting the perfect cup of espresso is a blend of art and a bit of science. With that in mind, the Express allows the user to experiment. You can use double walled pressurized filters for easy to optimize extraction. When you feel like getting more creative, you can try the single walled filters that let you play with different ground sizes, different tamping methods and different amounts of ground beans. This is a machine that can easily last for years. Everything from the burr grinder to the outer casing is built with top of the line materials. The stainless steel casing is sold in burnished steel-gray, or with red or black-coated accents. It is easy to clean. The unit has a removable drip tray and a neat little hideaway compartment for the included cleaning tools. Features: Conical Burr Grinder with a half-pound bean hopper. Everyone knows that fresh ground beans make a better cup. Just letting the ground beans sit for just a few days decreases the amount of crema that you will get. This handy hopper makes it easy to get fresh ground beans on demand. Select your grind. We know that different grinds give different results. This machine makes it easy to select the grind size and amount that you get. 360-degree steam wand and auto purge function. Perfectly frothed milk for your perfect espresso. Handy ‘Clean Me’ light for the machine and ‘Empty Me’ for the drip tray. They even give you a cleaning kit! Uses Thermocoil heating technology. This is one of the most accurate water temperature control systems today. Even water temperatures are necessary to get smooth flavor. Programmable volume control. I really like this feature. You can select from one or two cups. You can use a manual override. Or, you can program your own amount. Automatic filter fill-up. Just put the portafilter in the cradle, select your settings and relax. Huge 64 ounce removable water tank. Tank is top filling and has a built-in filter.
