Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Breville Barista Express BES860XL machine with grinder
Customer Review: 4.5 Stars. Has 1 Minor Problem
Summary: 5 Stars
I have used Breville Espresso products for probably 5-6 years now. I put them to good use. I have not had one last longer than 2 years yet as again, I use them all the time! But for the price, Breville is quite good.
Why do I give the latest Breville a 4.5 star rating? There is one problem I have with this new machine...so far, only one! When the burr grinder is in action and spits out the freshly ground coffee it stacks up nice and tall! However, when I get ready to tamper the espresso a 1/4 teaspoon amount of espresso falls off into the tray below. This is annoying as in a LB of coffee I grind, I bet I waste several good cups of coffee due to the excess beans falling by the wayside. When I go to empty the water tray...I have 1-2 cups of wasted espresso beans I'm tossing. Any good ideas on how to prevent this from happen, I'm all ears!
Oh I guess one more slight problem which has been addressed by other users: the burr grinder and loader needs a little help. The beans down slide nicely into the grinder and need a little help with my fingers! The angle/slope is not good enough. But hey...for $500, this machine is amazing. You don't need a $6,000 machine to have awesome espressos at home. Get this machine! Worth the price.
