In this video, I show you the main differences between these highly popular models in the Sage Breville Barista line. We specifically look at the Barista Express, Barista Express Impress, and Barista Pro. We talk about differences such as inclusion of a manometer or not, the ability to use soft pre-infusion and for how long, we compare the steam wands, talk about heat up time, and much more. Take a look at the links below for reviews and pricing.

I have the express and I absolutely love it. It makes unbelievably good coffee. Wouldn't have anything else. I'm sure mine makes the steam wand quicker than that. I'll have to give a test!

I got the sea salt impress ..it’s a fabulous espresso machine and its ease of use with the dose system and tamper is fantastic..I would recommend this machine to anyone starting out on the barista route. My milk skills are somewhat lacking at this point.. Thanks again for an excellent and informative video..😉

I would love a version of one of these machines with a dual boiler. Would happily pay a premium!

Sure, Breville also makes a dual boiler. I did a video on it...

@Shadowguy456234 24 күн бұрын

I actually first learned how to pull a shot on the Barista Express, so I have a soft spot for it... I would say when it's time to upgrade, if space is a concern go for the Barista Pro, or just do what I did and get a separate grinder and the Dual Boiler! 😁

Hi Tom! Thanks for you videos... really really well done, so well done that I bought a Sage Barista Pro which arrived today :D So I will dismiss my Illy Iperespresso and start using my new Pro :) I've seen all your last videos of the Sage machines, and you always use the double shot basket with 18gr of coffee. As an Italian who drinks 4 coffees a day... having a double espresso each time it would be too much! :D It would be really appreciated if you could make a video using the single basket for a single espresso shot :) At least watching how you dial, it could be a good start to set mine! Thanks in advance ;)

I ended up with the Brevile colour touch impress model which must be a variant of the Pro for our New Zealand market. I would really like plumbed in water but otherwise it has been very good. Auto milk is great for take away coffee when in a hurry in the mornings. I do wonder how much better the 58mm Oracle model would have been at extracting more flavour and it has front fill for the water. I do find after making 2 coffees in a row when i have guests the 3rd and 4th coffees can vary due to the machine heating up.

If I had to choose between the three it would be pro! But personally, I prefer a separate grinder.

How reliable are these machines? My Philips super automatic broke down due to electrical issues after 4 years. Was mainly looking at the Barista Pro as replacement.

Recently I got barista express Even there is click in grind settings, I found I can set value in between clicks My shot time is not stable though 😅 like 15sec to 50sec I wonder I need better grinder for consistent shot time

@vivavibes 10 күн бұрын

Every different coffee you use will require different grind settings. If you're using the same beans and getting different results, then you may need new burrs for the built-in grinder or a standalone for more consistency.

What are your experiences with longevity of sage models? I have read so many horrifying stories online that I am holding back from the company. Background information: currently considering whether to get a DeLonghi Dedica Maestro Plus with the Eureka Mignon Specialita and the bottomless porta filter (~750€) or a refurbished Sage Oracle Touch with (only) 12 months of warranty for ~1000€. The latter one sounds intreaguing at first glance, but supposedly has issues with inconsistent grinds and temperature as well as major issues with the decalc program, which tends to kill quite a few of the oracle touches. Also, from my (not really profound) unterstanding of the matter, the significantly better Eureca grinder should result in better Espresso extraction (and is easily sufficient for a way higher end espresso machine in the long run). Any advice is welcome! :)

The pro for convenience. Any difference in espresso between thermocoil and thermojet? Any issue with pulling back to back shots with the thermojet?

@TomsCoffeeCorner Ай бұрын

@@geomcl I feel like the thermocoil has the edge if the machine is thoroughly heated up (20-30 minutes). I generally just make two shots at a time for my wife and I, and either machine is capable of that. Cheers!

@@TomsCoffeeCorner Well, I finally chose Pro as I come from an e61 machine and my mainly reason for buying a Breville/Sage was for fast heating, waiting 20-30 minutes takes away the whole meaning of fast heating.

IS grinder in basic model good enough to grind for espresso?

@TomsCoffeeCorner 24 күн бұрын

It is, but you might have to adjust the inner collar to make it fine enough. I’ve showed that on each of my previous deep dive reviews of these models.

@OckhamsChainsaw1337 23 күн бұрын

Doesn't the Pro also have Baratza burrs as opposed to the generic burrs in the Express and Impress?

@TomsCoffeeCorner 23 күн бұрын

You’re right, it does. I don’t feel like they make a palpable difference, however to be honest. But, still nice to know that it’s got the most current burrs available.

At some point you are going to have to standardize these comparison or machine reviews; kind of like Doug Demiro or matt Watson but for coffee machines. I recall some stocks related youtube channel that have standardized their analysis through an excel sheet; splitting requirements into relevant categories.

Seems to me that it’s a lot of money for a small amount of coffee, but it seems some folks think it’s worth it?

@TomsCoffeeCorner 24 күн бұрын

Well, it’s a small amount of coffee that packs a punch. Personally, espresso is my favorite form of coffee preparation. In particular, I love milk based drinks like cappuccinos. You cannot make those without espresso.

They must sell a lot of those and/or, peeps don't like them after buying because local FB Marketplace is jammed with them, mostly the "Express".

Well, I think this, and the Delong Deda are the two best selling espresso machines worldwide. You have to also realize that Breville has a stronghold on markets like Bath and Body Works, and other appliance stores.
