About the product:
Less than a minute from bean to espresso: the Barista Express grinds, doses and extracts in one machine. The conical burr grinder has 16 settings and fills the 54mm portafilter with a single touch. PID controlled Thermocoil heating delivers water at 200°F, and the pressure gauge shows how each 9 bar extraction went.
We like it as a hands-on machine for learning the full barista routine at home. You tamp with the integrated tamper and texture the milk yourself with the manual steam wand.
How to use:
Fill the 67 oz tank and the 1/2 lb hopper, then switch on.
Grind with the Dosing Funnel, trim with the Razor and tamp.
Lock it in, choose 1 or 2 shots, then steam the milk.
