3. Breville BES870XL
At first glance at first glance, the Breville Barista Express looks like an espresso machine that's out of the budget of a majority of consumers. But if you're willing to invest the time to master its use this is a fantastic do-it-all home espresso maker that performs better than some of the more expensive models on the market. It's a great price for the class and is particularly useful for those who aren't experienced enough to have an espresso maker, which can cost up to $100.
This model is a bit below the top of the range for Breville (their Oracle is the most expensive, costing $2,199), but it's still an excellent choice for baristas at home on a tight budget. It's loaded with customizable features, and even an integrated burr mill, which makes it more affordable. It's also a single boiler machine, meaning it can only handle one thing at a time.
Breville, an incredibly newcomer to the market for espresso machines, has quickly earned a reputation for its high-quality appliances. This machine is no different, and it offers just enough adjustable control to let aspiring baristas develop their skills without spending hundreds of dollars more than they need to.
There are some quirks however. The hopper is situated on the side, not at the top of the model. It's not a big issue, but it can be a hassle if you need to disperse multiple shots at once. The rear-facing position of the tank makes it difficult to see the amount of liquid left.
If you're willing to invest some time learning how to master the Breville Barista Express, it's an excellent, all-purpose appliance for anyone who loves espresso at home. The only issue with the Breville Barista Express is its cost, which may be a deterrent for some buyers. If you're looking for a low-cost alternative, we suggest the Gaggia Classic and the La Pavoni Impresso. Both are similarly capable and offer a bit more control than the Barista Express, but they'll cost you a fraction of what this Breville model does.
