Clarifications:
1) Buy the Breville Barista Pro in Truffle Black or Damson Blue (check the link above). Much better than stainless steel.
2) The Breville Barista Express is still a solid espresso machine, especially for the price. But, the Barista Pro edges out the Express on multiple levels - espresso, steaming, dialing in, workflow - that it is clearly worth the extra $ when comparing Breville Barista Express vs Barista Pro. You’ll hold onto this machine for several years, and the upgraded heating system is worth it.
3) If you like the analog pressure gauge, get the Barista Express. Very understandable :)

Thanks for the video! Would love a comparison between Barista Pro and Barista Touch
We actually just filmed that one, and it’ll be out soon!
Thanks for review ! Did you try Barista Pro with coffee ground by good standalone grinder ? I am wondering if built-in conical burr grinder is a factor. At a price about +20% one can buy Eureka Mignon grinder and something like Gaggia Classic machine. The question is if it's worth skipping points like size, etc. What do you think ?
A good standalone grinder makes a difference. You can make better espresso with a Gaggia Classic + DF64 grinder, BUT the learning curve is higher and it is not as convenient. I discuss this setup in another video: th-cam.com/video/buiIX23KBvY/w-d-xo.html (skip to the last section).
Weird! Just looked up his Barista Espresso Model and can only find it with Pressure Gauge on front. Plus enormous disparity in prices so as to be somewhat confusing. So much so I think I will continue with my current Sage separates, which after all give me an excellent result when set up correctly (Thanks Coffee Kev!). Also worth noting is that although a 'fiddly job to master at first' taking the grinder apart and a proper clean and reset keeps a good result. Doubtful that it can be done properly on this one incorporated in base machine. But hey, early days. Look forward to future Comments. Let the battle begin 🧐
That is weird...agree on the grinder - that is a separate video for another time (Coffee Kev is a great resource).
That's one of the massive downsides of the Express. Temperatures fluctuate massively meaning you get different tasting shots every time. Something most reviews don't mention
Does the 54mm portafilter falls short compared to the commonly used 58mm one?
58mm is a little better but other things matter more, like heating system, grinder, skill, etc. calphalon uses a 58mm but it’s worse than Breville Pro. Gaggia classic has a 58mm and it’s a little better than the Pro if you get temperature surfing right.
As someone who is going from an Aeropress and Keurig steam milk setting and only wants one machine for at least the next two years plus or even longer do you really think the extra like 200 bucks is worth it over the express? I am an absolutely coffee newbie. I use this scooper I got on my coffee container that says 1/8 cup 30 ml on it and I use two full scoops of that so I actually don't know what that equates to in terms of a dosage or anything like that like single shot or double shot I have no idea but with the aero press it's a bit too bitter so I use 2 tablespoons of a hazelnut 0 sugar creamer and 2tablespoons of a silk caramel creamer because I don't want a lot of sugar but it's not been turning out to be too good. I like more foam in the milk and I am moving this month so I am unsure what machine to get. I don't mind spending the 600+ I don't want to spend too much but I also don't want to compromise too much as it's gonna be my only machine.
I have the black one since 2014 lol I’d say I used it a couple thousand times through several homes and even had my family member use it for over a year and now it’s being used 3x a day
@@CrabSt3r 😮 Woah! That is really good use of it then! I ended up going for the Bambino plus and a separate grinder but I maybe should have spent a little more for something like this. I do like the bambino plus and I am getting better at it but it's definitely me not producing a good cup of espresso yet.
grazie video bellissimo e professionale
Well done for switching the nozzles. Both these machines seem to be too much of a faff for a morning. I'll stick with our fully automatic bean-to-cup.
They’re both effort, no doubt. Need to get the Express Impress to make it more like a super auto.
With black friday deal, price between pro and express was about $250. Since i only drink coffee 2-3 times a week still worth to buy Pro?
I’d still get the Pro. The more I use the Express, the more I feel it has some serious issues with over pressure. It’s hard to use and not as good.
If you like the machine, you’ll start using it a lot more than 2-3 times a week. Otherwise, you won’t use it all.
I think if people aren’t interested in steaming milk or that concerned about heating times, the consistency in water temp isn’t going to mean much for a 200$ increase in price
You’ll use this everyday for years, so $200 is worth it for better coffee every morning. Also, the Barista Pro is easier to use. After more testing, I’ve learned the Barista Express is wayy over pressured, running at 14-15 bars, which is an issue for espresso. Watch our other video on the Breville Express Impress, which is another model I’d recommend:

Also, if price is the issue, check out the Bambino’s. A Bambino + DF64 grinder will make some VERY good espresso on a budget. Watch the comparison here:

Makes a big difference even for lattes. Different tasting espressos affect the profile of lattes, especially with medium or dark roast beans. Having the Express for years and only making lattes, I can testify that the temperature fluctuations absolutely affect lattes. It can mean the difference between an amazing latte experience and an average one. Temperature consistency alone makes 200 bucks absolute bang for buck. People don't realise how important these things are until they've been brewing for years. With the Express, how good the latte tastes is a little outside of your control, the Pro gives you full control over getting the same quality every time. 200 bucks is nothing to get that experience every time
It's $80 difference.😂
I don't know should I upgrade?
It’s changed a lot in a week! Breville has some deals now.
Currently a $150 difference. Sure an upgrade, but not sure it is worth it. If you really want the additional features, you can spend more and get a lot more
@@andrewhershey2578 It's back to the regular price gap. The Pro is worth it for the heating system. The faster start-up and ease of use are worth it, imo. You could spend more (always can), but Pro is good value for
well about $400-500 difference in my country. is it worth the price?
@@FandyMSaputra That's pushing it for me. I'd also consider a Gaggia Classic Pro and another espresso grinder (Eureka or DF).
One is plastic and one is stainless steel
Which one? I presume the Barista express?
Just because everything made in the past is always made with "better materials" vs the new stuff always seems to be made with cheaper quality stuff & sold at or near the sane price (or higher) these days.
