Breville BES878BSS1BUS1 Barista Pro Espresso Machine: Integrated precision conical burr grinder
If you're the kind of coffee lover who dreams about third wave specialty coffee before you've even had your first cup, the Breville Barista Pro Espresso Machine is pretty much your new best friend. It’s got this slick integrated precision conical burr grinder that’s all about dose control—meaning no more guessing how much coffee to use. Just pure, unadulterated flavor every time. And get this: the ThermoJet heating system? It heats up to the perfect temp in a blink (okay, 3 seconds) and switches from espresso to steam like it’s no big deal.
But wait, there’s more (because of course there is):
- Ever heard of low pressure pre-infusion? It’s like giving your coffee a gentle hug to get all those flavors out evenly.
- Then there’s the digital temperature control (PID), which is basically the espresso equivalent of a precision scalpel—except for temperature.
- And the steam wand? It’s not just powerful; it’s your ticket to manual microfoam milk texturing. Latte art, here you come.
- Oh, and the LCD display doesn’t just sit there looking pretty—it shows you grinding and extracting progress with animations. Because why not?
And because Breville knows you’re serious about your coffee, they’ve thrown in single & dual wall filter baskets, a stainless steel milk jug (because milk matters), and a cleaning kit (because nobody likes a dirty machine).
- Optimal water pressure for balanced flavor
- Fast ThermoJet heating system
- Digital temperature control (PID)
- Manual microfoam milk texturing
- Integrated precision conical burr grinder

As a software developer, I appreciate the thought put into the design, but I'm skeptical about whether it's worth the cost. It makes good coffee, and I enjoy using it for my daily brew, but it feels like it might break down easily. The animations on the screen are a nice touch, but they don't add much to the experience. Overall, it's a solid machine, but I'm not blown away—it does the job well enough, though I might look for something more basic next time.
- Pros: The grinder is quite precise, so I get consistent flavor without guessing the amount. It heats up incredibly fast, which is great for my busy mornings. The steam wand gives me control for nice milk foam, and the display shows what's happening clearly.
- Cons: It's a bit pricey for my budget, and I'm not sure if all the fancy features are necessary—could be overkill. The cleaning process is a hassle, and I wish it were simpler. Sometimes the temperature seems off, but I could be wrong.
