Additional Information

Thermojetâ„¢ Technology: Innovative heating system achieves ideal extraction temperature in 3 seconds.

PID Controller: Electronic PID temperature control for increased temperature stability.

Low Pressure Infusion: Applies low water pressure at the start of the extraction to gently expand grinds for an even extraction.

Volumetric Control: Preset 1 & 2 cup volumes, manual over-ride or programmable shot volumes.

Built-in Conical Burr Grinder

The Breville Barista Express Impress comes with a built-in conical burr grinder with 16 precision grind settings. The "Grind Amount" knob allows you to adjust how long the grinder is active impacting the amount of grinds in your portafilter.

54mm stainless steel portafilter

Craft the perfect milk-based espresso drink using the Breville Barista Express Impress double basket, fitting up to 19g of espresso grounds. Most portafilters at 54mm cannot hold more than 14 - 16g of grounds making it difficult to achieve the perfect milk-based drink.

The perfect 9 bar extraction

A luxurious espresso, characterized by its velvety texture and rich caramel hue, is achieved through a sequence that begins with gentle, low-pressure pre-infusions, followed by a high-pressure (9 bar) extraction process driven by our 15-bar Italian pump.

Smart Dosing

Benefit from intelligent dosing thanks to the integrated conical burr grinder offering a choice of 25 grind settings. The dose is automatically computed based on the previous grind, ensuring it's prepared for your next use.

Assited Tamping

The Breville Barista Express Impress' assisted tamping system delivers 22-pounds of pressure to your espresso grounds and finishes with a 7° barista twist for a more polished puck

  • Pros

    Lightning Fast Warmup: The innovative heating system achieves ideal extraction temperatures in 30 seconds, this type of warmup speed is unheard of on any other machine.

    • Coffee Bros. tip: Always pull a "blind shot" prior to brewing your espresso. This allows both your portafilter and group head to hit even an more optimal temperature for better extraction.

    Assisted Tamping and smart dosing: The assisted tamping and smart dosing features are great as those are the #1 and #2 problems home baristas face when brewing espresso.

    Huge Water Tank: Unlike the Bambino, the water reservoir on the Barista Express Impress is large! Holding 67 ounces of water, the Barista Express Impress water tank needs to be filled less often then other smaller machines.

    Stable Temperature: High-performance PID control for optimal temperature stability.

    Built-in Conical Burr Grinder: The built-in Conical Burr grinder is what makes this machine worth the price. While most "good" conical burr grinders start at $200, this one is already built into your machine.

  • Cons

    54mm Basket: The 54mm basket size makes it incompatible to many of the espresso puck preparation tools and screens.

    Pressurized Baskets: The Bambino Plus includes pressurized baskets by default, which are excellent for newcomers but somewhat restrictive for more experienced home baristas.

    Cannot prep your own espresso puck: The built-in grinding, dosing, and assisted tamping feature are housed within an area of the machine which makes it impossible to pull your portafilter out prior to tamping. This means, if you have a coffee that grinds clumpy, you cannot do any WDT on this machine as you must tamp prior to pulling out your portafilter. For most that might be okay, but for more advanced espresso enthusiasts you will not want to rely on an enclosed tamping system like this one.

What are the steps to first use the Breville Barista Express Impress?

First Use

  • Ensure the water filter is securely fitted inside the water tank.
  • Fill the water tank with cold, preferably filtered water up to the MAX mark. When replacing the water tank, ensure to push down completely to lock into place..

Always check the water level before use and replace water daily. We recommend using cold, filtered water. We do not recommend the use of de-mineralized or distilled water or any other liquid as this may affect the taste of the espresso and how the machine is designed to function.

  • Ensure the hopper is locked into position. The machine will not turn on if the hopper is not in place.
  • Plug the power cord into a 110/120V power outlet.
  • Press the POWER button to switch the machine on. The POWER button light will flash while the machine is heating.

What filter baskets come with the Breville Barista Express Impress?

This machine includes both single and dual wall 1 Cup and 2 Cup filter baskets.

Use the 1 cup filter basket when brewing a single cup and the 2 cup filter baskets when brewing 2 cups or a stronger single cup or mug. Adjust the grind amount and size when switching from 1 cup to a 2 cup filter basket, or vice versa.

The provided filter baskets are designed for:

1 Cup filter basket = 8-11g

2 Cup filter basket = 16-19g

What is the suggested use for the Single Wall Basket vs. Double Wall Basket?

SINGLE WALL FILTER BASKETS

Single Wall filter baskets should be used when grinding fresh whole coffee beans roasted less than 30 days. These allows you to experiment with grind, dose and tamp to create a more balanced espresso.

Coffee Bros. opinion: Stick with the Single Wall filter baskets if you are using a good espresso grinder (conical or flat burrs). At minimum, use the Baratza Encore ESP when grinding for espresso.

DUAL WALL FILTER BASKETS

Dual Wall filter baskets should be used when using pre-ground coffee and older beans that are past the 30 day roast date. These regulate the pressure and helps to optimise the extraction regardless of the grind, dose and tamp pressure or freshness.

How much volume does the one cup button produce?

Press the 1 CUP button once, the button will flash indicating that it has been selected. A preset single espresso volume of approximately 30mls will be extracted. The machine will automatically stop once the pre-set volume has been extracted.

How much volume does the two cup button produce?

Press the 2 CUP button once, the button will flash indicating that is has been selected. A preset single espresso volume of approximately 60mls will be extracted. The machine will automatically stop once the pre-set volume has been extracted.

How to do a manual pre-infusion and shot volume?

Press and hold the 1 CUP or 2 CUP button for the desired pre-infusion time. Release the button to start the extraction. Press the flashing button again to stop the extraction.

How much pressure does the assisted tamping use?

The assisted tamping feature uses 22lbs of pressure.
