Our overview
The Barista Express suits people who want to learn espresso properly without buying a separate grinder. It combines a conical burr grinder with a semi-automatic machine, so you grind, dose, tamp and pull the shot yourself, and steam milk with a manual wand. That manual approach rewards practice and gives control over grind size and dose, but it is slower and messier than a push-button machine. It is a large, heavy machine, so measure your worktop. Expect to spend time dialling in grind settings when you change beans. Several colour variants and model codes exist, so confirm the exact version and the warranty terms with the retailer before ordering.
