most espresso drinkers don't care how their coffee is made they just want it fast some people though dream of making good espresso at home and on the cheap and don't mind working for it for them the $600 Breville barista Express is perfect since it makes great coffee is simple to use and costs about half what fancy semi-automatic Italian espresso machines go for the first thing you'll notice about this machine is its stainless steel construction that's both sturdy and attractive but what I like most about this machine is its built-in bird grinder after you've adjusted your grind size grounds are dropped directly into the Porta filter you can have this done automatically or manually this makes dosing your shots with the right amount of coffee very easy it also has a pressure gauge so you can tell if your shot will be extracted properly it has a ball mounted steam wand and steel frothing pitcher all these things make me Breville barista express our editor's choice for home espresso machine and it should definitely be on the top of your short list if you're in the market
