Their new Barista Express Impress is incredible.

“I bought a breville/sage barista express impress yesterday. It's incredible!”
positive

Their Barista Express Impress is absolutely amazing for a daily double shot.

“as a guy who just wants a double shot of espresso every morning (no milk frothing, not 8 drinks per day, etc.), it's absolutely amazing.”
positive

Two years with their Barista Express Impress: amazing when it works, but it randomly grinds wrong and wastes bags re-dialing.

“I have the Barista Express Impress and have a love hate relationship with it.”

Really likes their Barista Express Impress and dialed in quickly, but their ideal grind falls between settings.

“i received a breville barista express impress as a gift and so far i really like it!”
positive

On their second Breville: now a Barista Express Impress after the regular Barista Express; excellent once dialled in and very reliable with regular maintenance.

“Excellent machines once you dial them in. Very reliable if you keep the maintenance up.”

Bought a new Barista Express Impress two years ago; it is the same basic machine but they prefer the fully manual older Barista Express.

“Gave the 870 to my brother 2 years ago and purchased a new Breville Impress. Same basic machine but I prefer my old one (BES870), all manual.”
