BES870 specifications

The Breville BES870, commonly known as the Barista Express, is a standout espresso machine that combines style, functionality, and efficiency, making it a favorite among coffee enthusiasts. This all-in-one machine not only allows users to grind their coffee beans fresh for each brew but also provides extensive control over the brewing process, ensuring a rich and personalized coffee experience.
