Breville BES878BTR Barista Pro Espresso Machine: Dose control grinding
Ever dreamt of turning your kitchen into a cozy café? The Breville Barista Pro Espresso Machine makes it happen, bringing third wave specialty coffee right to your countertop. It’s not just about making coffee; it’s about crafting it. With its integrated precision conical burr grinder and dose control, you’re guaranteed the perfect amount of coffee every time—because who has time for guesswork when flavor’s on the line? And let’s talk speed: the ThermoJet heating system gets you to the ideal temperature in a blink (3 seconds, to be exact), flipping from espresso to steam mode faster than you can say 'latte art.'
Here’s the lowdown on what makes this machine a game-changer:
- Low pressure pre-infusion? Check. It’s all about that balanced flavor, no bitterness allowed.
- Digital temperature control (PID) keeps things precise—because espresso is a science, not a guessing game.
- That steam wand isn’t just powerful; it’s your ticket to barista-level microfoam. Milk texturing has never been so satisfying.
- And the LCD display? It’s not just intuitive; it’s downright fun, with animations that walk you through grinding and extracting like a pro.
Oh, and it comes with all the goodies: Single & Dual Wall Filter Baskets, a Razor Precision Dose Trimming Tool (for those who take their coffee seriously), a 480 ml Stainless Steel Milk Jug, a Cleaning Kit (because maintenance is key), and a Water Filter to keep things pure. Basically, it’s everything you need to start your home barista journey, no compromises.

First impresion was wow this looks decent on the counter but after using it for a couple weeks I'm a bit let down. I've always stuck with Breville stuff trusted the brand but this one seems like a mid-ranger not quite top-notch. The coffee it makes is quite good no bitterness and the milk frothing works well when I get it right but it's not as foolproof as I hoped. Manitenance is a pain gotta clean it often to keep it running smooth and some parts feel cheap for what I paid. Overall it does the job but I expected better from Breville maybe my standards are too high. Would I buy it again probably not but it's not terrible just not amazing.
- Pros: The machine heats up super fast which is great when I'm in a rush and the grinder bilt in gives a consistent amount every time no messing around with separate gadgets. The screen is easy to follow with little animations that make the process feel less intimidating for someone like me just starting out.
- Cons: For the price I expected a bit more durability feels a bit plasticky in parts and the steam wnad while powerful can be tricky to control sometimes leading to messy spills. The cleaning process is a hassle and seems more frequent than I'd like.
