All out of stock for me on Amazon.
Same
That's the barista express not the pro, only major difference is the LCD screen.
Coffee snobs will tell you to spend an extra $150 or so and buy a proper Italian-built machine like a Rancilio Silvia. These cheap and cheerful Breville and Sunbeam machines have limited thermal mass and produce some pretty mediocre results compared to machines built from steel and brass.
EDIT: Apology if the truth offends anyone here.
Add another $200 ++ for a grinder, and also different target market.
The point remains, if you want a good espresso machine you don't buy Breville or Sunbeam. And the OP's original statement that a BES878BTR would be approved by coffee snobs is still laughable.
Coffee snob - wouldn't recommend integrated grinder
Amen.
Yep would pay the bit more and get the bes920 and separate grinder
Whats makes the BES920 Dual Boiler better than the Barista Pro?
Or a basic Italian machine and a grinder.
For anyone who got this - don't forget to claim your free month of beans
gosh, that is expensive for a coffee maker!
