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.”
