I have this machine, had it about 10 years… had to replace a seal in it maybe 5 years ago, it started leaking whenever I tried to make coffee. Emptied it, turned it upside down and unscrewed something and pulled out a damaged seal. Found a new one on eBay for like $30 and boom! Back in the game! Paid like $800 for this thing and can’t believe how great it has been.
Bought this for 350€ (it was new but had a scratch so they sold it for waaay cheaper) and I believe I got a great deal. The espresso rabbit hole is a deep one though and I've already spent like another 200€ for accessories. I do make banging coffee drinks now.
Could you kindly do a tutorial on grind size adjusting AND THEN ALSO adjusting grind amount on this machine! I think this is where I’m getting stuck! Thanks!
I second this! I have to stick to the one brand of beans that i know works otherwise i waste SO many beans just trying to figure out which grind setting is the best 😅
Regarding the steaming temperature. A good rule of thumb is to stop steaming milk when it becomes too hot to touch. So you hold the bottom of the pitcher with one hand while the other hand controls angles.
I think it's odd the express comes with the dosing cup but the better model that's $400 more does not. I was mildly annoyed when I had to spend 25 on a dosing cup and the milk cup doesn't have a thermometer built in either. Took absolutely forever to calibrate, but does make some amazing espresso.
It comes with a dosing cup, just the funnel. Also I just bought one of these two weeks ago and it did not come with the temp sensing cup. He purchased that separately or Breville sent it special for him.
@@sethfrancissimracing7558 mine did not come with a dosing cup, it didn't really com with anything. 2 portifilter screens, the basic milk frothing cup, and 1 round of cleaning tabs.
If you look at the oil composition of Coffee, its safer to extract at 86°C particularly depending on the roast. The USDA does a great job listing the oils present in Coffee beans. Breville Espress Espresso machine is a great place to start. I already own a seperate Breville grinder. Ive have some time puzzling over form and function for coffee drinks. Im glad I finally discovered their necessary nutritional needs. Its not just a look. Its art and nutrition. Wonderful. Im glad I started with the Breville Express Expresso machine. Its helped me appreciate the rest of my coffee (and gastronomic) journey. I would never have understood unless I started with the basics.
I have one of these at work. It's actually a decent machine. I kinda get jealous because it can be pretty consistent with the pull whereas my "nicer" setup at home can struggle sometimes.
Ive had my machine for a couple of months now and i cant seem to figure out the right settings to pull a good shot of expresso. Could you make more videos about using this machine?
I found that my machine started to struggle with the the actual coffe making. Water stream became very slow it shows full pressure gauge but coffe drips with little drops rather than a normal flow.
Got the BBP and I hated the integrated grinder. Whole beans were constantly getting stuck. It was retaining a lot. I ended up purchasing the DF83 v2 grinder since it also had a hopper for the times I want to make cold brew.
It's a bang for your buck yes, but now years later I'm kind of stuck with it awkwardly paired with a separate premium grinder. I try to ignore its built-in functional grinder but it just cramps up the top space too much. Still a solid espresso machine, just beware you grow out of it quickly as soon as you become certain about your newfound hobby. And the grinder gets weaker over time to the point of jamming, especially with light roast. Ah yes, it also retains old grounds. If you're simply pragmatic about coffee and just want to get on with your day, this is for you. But you never know though, you might get a taste for the good stuff later.
It's nice but I would still get the version without an integrated grinder and just buy a separate one. It's not as convenient, yeah, but then you're not locked in or stuck if the grinder in the machine breaks or you want to upgrade down the line.
mine same, run every single moring last 5 years, still going strong, just update the milk thermal jug that is all you need. The only missing is the auto temper (less mess lazy guy).
What I dont like about this machine is that it doesn't allow for a necessary extraction temperature of 86° C. It only allows for 89 °C. At that temperature you may open yourself up to exposure to carcinogens especially if the beans are already burnt . The oils in the coffee beans require a lower temperature. The double broiler allows for a temperature of 86°C. Even though its more expensive as a machine, it seems like the best choice especially because the LED interface allows you to control the temperature much easier. I think Brevilles recommendation for using beans roasted within 5-20 days is ideal for coffee consumption all together. A medium to light roast may be the beginning in educating consumers about the importance of appropriate temperature so as to reduce carcinogenic exposure. People want fresh and appropriately prepared as much as possible for their health. Brevilles machines are a great start .
I have a machine and I honestly don’t know how it works. I have made espresso with it that I use for cappuccino, and it tastes good to me. What is the purpose of the tamping, and do I need one of those screen disks on top after tamping, and what exactly is the machine doing that a pour-over doesn’t do? How and why is the machine applying pressure?
Hey I have this machine! What’s the proper amount of espresso and how I can get my extraction to be like yours? Mine is hitting the pre infusion stage and that’s it. I have tried tamping with 30lbs of pressure but still minimal results
This machine seems to work best at about 19g of ground coffee in I find. Aim for the pressure to hit close to 12 o'clock on the pressure gauge. If you're below that then grind finer, above that/machine choking, then grind coarser. It should take 25-30 seconds for the double shot function to run through. For some of my beans I couldn't get the required pressure even on grind setting 1, so I changed the internal burr down one setting finer. Every grinder is different so there's no point telling grind settings, even for the same beans, you just have to play around to get the extraction time and pressure right.
I recently got this machine. I use the double wall basket because I can't get the right amount of pressure when using the single wall. I only use fresh coffee and grind the beans. I'm curious what setting you have for the grind amount, do you keep it right at the halfway point? Also, my pucks come out super soggy afterwards, but everyone always seem to have pretty dry, dense pucks when I watch on the RUclipss... anyway. I still love it, because it helps me make much better coffee than I ever have before, but those are some struggles I'm having currently.
- single wall will always taste better and I’m sure we can help get it right. Just go to a way lower grind setting. I have mine on 7. If you find your getting to the finest settings (1-3) and it’s still running to fast, try adjusting the inner burr to a finer setting (look up how to do this on RUclips) - a soupy puck can mean a few things. Most likely it’s because your grind is too coarse due to the double walled basket. It can also happen when there isn’t enough coffee in the basket. Changing to single wall and finer grind will most likely help
@@Goldenbrown.coffee Thank you for the reply. Please check it out. The manufacturer seems to put a lot of thought into the products they have and are developing. It would be nice to get the public more aware of the potential. Thank you so much for the latte art tips. I'm waiting for my milk jug to come but even still just using a saki glass my art is getting way better. Thank you.
When i put the the coffee handle in with the dosung guide but it doesn't stay in as the coffee is grinding it pops/out drop down, mine didn't come eith the temperature mug just the plain I bought the machine today ftom good guys..can you please show grinding amount for 1cup disc pls
need some help. it seems theres no water coming out of the grouphead. when i press the single or double shot. but the hot water and steamer works fine.
I have this machine and for the life of me i cant seem to get a decent cup of coffee. So far I've only been using supermarket quality of beans, as speciality beans here are insanely expensive. I follow the steps but the extraction is always disappointing. Is it possible to have nice supermarket coffee in this machine or should i just give up?
...if "thermometer built into it" means a cheap sticker on the side of the metal jug then yes, yes it does. Everything about this machine is cheap and a compromise if you want to make great espresso
This machine has an annoying problem it has a very high pitched tinnitus like sound when its on standby. (my machine is the SAGE brand but exactly the same machine) googled arround to see if mine is broken but found many reports of it. This is apperently more common in europe
Ive got the Oracle Touch, and i cannot for the life of me get a consistent milk. No idea whas going wrong. Some days its way too foamy, other days its got nothing
I’ve had mine for about 5 years and it’s the best thing I’ve ever bought. Proper barista style coffee at home. I love my machine
That’s a good run
@@Goldenbrown.coffee he better pray that it doesn’t breakdown, costly machine to get repaired.

At that point, it doesn't matter where it was designed.

I am very happy I decided to buy this machine as my first espresso machine. It works really well.

I wasted a whole bag of beans today just to produce some of the worst shots I’ve ever had
Every bean is different some produce more oils and also you can additionally adjust under the lid near water tank
I had this machine for about 17 years best thing ever
Have had 2 of these machines (1 at my workshop and 1 at home) for over 10 years and with regular cleans we've never had any dramas just great coffee

Can you make a manual milk steaming guide for the sage/Breville barista touch; would be awesome 🤙🏽

I would love to see a milk texturing how to on this machine
I do have a video somewhere in my feed in it!
Amazing ❤
Explaining where the needle should be on the espresso gauge when pulling your shot would be nice.
A game changer would be if when grinding and dosing, it had a built in scale from where you attach the portafilter, to the grinder!
I actually recently got this machine in black. Would love to see what it can do!
Thanks for Sharing 👍
It’s crazy how what is considered basic in the US costs ~90k INR in India. For context, that’s about 3.9k USD after adjusting for ppp
I found that my machine started to struggle with the the actual coffe making. Water stream became very slow it shows full pressure gauge but coffe drips with little drops rather than a normal flow.

How is it with simple espresso? Any advice on making a nice mellow espresso without acidity?
- use a medium/dark roast
- grind finer to increase extraction
- raise the temperature if too sour
