Breville BES870XL Barista Express in Black

A unique espresso machine, the Breville BES870XL Barista Express has an integrated conical burr grinder with dosing controls so your coffee is ground fresh for every cup. You’ll be able to grind your beans and dose directly into the coffee filter in under 60 seconds! Created with convenience and flexibility in mind, the Barista Express comes with two double-wall filters (single and double shot) that take the guesswork out of tamping—ideal for beginners. But, if you enjoy the art of making espresso, the BES870XL also has a set of single-wall filters that allow you to apply your own tamp.

This innovative Breville model has a special tamper with a magnetized lock that can be used attached to the machine, if you intend to work with a double-wall filter. You can also detach the tamper if you prefer a manual tamp or are using a single-wall filter. The Barista Express can be programmed to brew a single or double shot and the grinder settings can be adjusted to suit your needs. With a nice mix of semi-automatic and super-automatic features, the Breville BES870XL is a very well-rounded machine.+

Tamping

A 54mm tamper comes included with the BES870XL, it is magnetized and can be secured to the machine. You can fit the tamper into place and tamp with it attached to the unit, or remove the tamper and apply your tamp by hand.
