Brew Delicious Espresso at Home with the Breville BES870BSXL The Barista Express Coffee Machine

Amazon Customer: C'est tout à fait comme la photographie. On croit à tord qu'acheter un appareil cher va faire de meilleures photos.

Ici c'est pareil: pas de miracle! Il faut bosser. Il faut apprendre à l'utiliser, trouver le bon café, la bonne torréfaction, la bonne mouture, la bonne manière de faire couler le café, la bonne manière de faire mousser le lait. Bref, il faut apprendre les base du métier de barrista, essayer, grimacer et persévérer. Après quelques semaines d'essais j'ai enfin le café dont je rêvais, et ça
valait l'effort.

Les cafés à l'exterieur on maintenant un goût fadasse. Petit bémol concernant la vapeur qui met un peu de temps à se lancer et qui fait enormément de bruit.

Pour les passionnés de café, vous allez aimer. Pour les curieux, vous allez découvrir un nouveau monde, pour les autres soyez avertis, ce n'est pas facile à prendre en main.

Javier: Llego dañada de algún sensor y no tenia nada de presión.
La compre nuevamente y perfecto todo, solo hay que revisarla bien al recibirla para ver que no le falle nada

Elihu: No soy experto, pero la verdad es que podría clasificarla de entre lo principiante, una de las mas completas. El hecho de que una maquina de estas tenga su molino, te hace estar jugando con el molido que puedas tener para un mejor café a tu gusto, yo la utilizo en #7 de molido y al momento de sacar el expreso, le podría lo de dos cargas en el molino (va a depender de tu gusto) pero apenas está perfecto, me da la presión bien (igual tiene que ver la presión con la que comprimas el molido, yo no lo hago tan fuere, quizá en un punto medio), pero me va bien. Realmente tienes que estar jugando si es tu primera maquina, aprendes técnicas, maneras de prepararte tu café, búscala en promoción, yo la compré en 11, pero la llegué a ver hasta en 9. De lo mejorcito para saltar de una muy básica, te hace buscar el grano del café perfecto para hacerte un buen café.

Matt K: This is the first espresso machine I've ever owned. I purchased it this Spring (2020) because, like many of you, I needed to stop going out. I didn't know much about home brewing espresso, but I have lots of Breville products, and I thought this would be a good entry-level machine., I liked that it had all of the features I needed in a one-stop solution, but would still allow me to make "real" espresso, not the stuff that shoots of a pod, which I typically dislike. Armed with nothing more than the instructions it came with, power, water, and beans, I was able to brew espresso good enough to keep me from going into withdrawal, but typically not delicious, and appreciably less enjoyable than my favorite baristas in my favorite cafes. I also wasted a lot of beans in the process. After about 10 days of this bumbling around, I decided to start researching how to get better performance, learning a lot of coffee science along the way, and over the next few months, my technique and results improved, but ultimately plateaued at a point where I felt my home-brewed espresso was now generally better than my favorite baristas - but still not consistent - one day I could make a perfect shot,...

VRVR: Despite some of the negative criticism sprinkled throughout this review, keep in mind that (1) I am giving this machine 5 stars, and now that I have spent a few weeks getting to know it (intimately), I love it - so much, that if a burglar broke into my house and stole it, I would order another one the same day - I have not been back to Starbucks since. All that being said, you NEED to read this review so that your machine does not frustrate you and so that you get the most out of it. Read on my coffee-loving friend:

1. I am a guy, who knew nothing about espresso machines before this. I am very mechanically inclined and don't usually read instructions. This was different - this machine is NOT self-explanatory and you NEED to read the instructions (which are well written, and even include a troubleshooting section). Don't get frustrated with this machine until/unless you have read (all) the instructions.

2. This is not a 'stand-alone' purchase ... this machine costs around $500 (give or take), you need to invest another $100 right from the start (preferably at the same time) to get the most out of it, enjoy it to the fullest, and not get unreasonably frustrated by...
