Really nice overview of this machine - thanks! And to all the U.S. (and worldwide) viewers out there, she is in Canada so the price on this machine is $699 USD or $999 CAD.
Very informative video and a great looking machine! Do you plan to do a head to head video with this machine and the Sage Barista Express/Pro in the near future?
You certainly make machine look very interesting. After viewing, I had a look at the online owner manual. It makes no mention of regular cleaning. I am talking of weekly back flush cleaning which all espresso machine makers recommend. Do you know how to make a back flush cleaning of this machine ?
@@Grande79 the nice thing about combo units like this is the space saving - and looks cleaner on a counter space. Most ppl who go with an external grinder are big coffee afficianados that want 70 grind settings
@@dougheiser8187 for me sometimes I like to have a pot of coffee which the single machine can’t do. At least as far as I can tell there is no machine that will do a pot and also make espresso
Hmm... It depends now on how much work you want to put into making your coffee! The Breville Barista Express Impress has smart dosing system as well as the Impress Puck system, so it will require less thinking and work in the morning
@@Cyberdine.Systems.Model-101 Based on the various reviews I've read, the Kitchenaid is super quiet - quietest machine out there, while the Breville is a little simpler to use (with the built-in dosing/tamper system). Both seem to be able to make great espresso.
@dperreno aaaargh. Can't decide. They both have sale on at the moment. Kitchenaid is $100 less than the Breville. And then there's the kitchenaid semi auto without a grinder for $500 LESS THAN THE QUIET GRINDER VERSION. Does anybody know if THAT little unit makes lattes just as good?
Just seeing the smooth grinds flow into the portafilter was impressive. At this price point? Wow. I would’ve like a bit more info on how is grinder adjustment for dialing in, and group head heating time. I’m guessing similar to other thermoblock like BBE
We did have too much coffee in the porta filter, so good catch! Unfortunatley we had some footage corrupt when shooting this video. So we used one of the other takes where we ground too much coffee for the close up shot. However, the close up of the pour was from a properly portioned shot :)
Oracle Jet can help assist you dial in your coffee but you pay a large premium for that work. Ninja's espresso machine competes with the Jet at less than half the price but may not be styled as many want it. The closest Breville might be the Express or even Express Impress
Yeah, but what does _James Hoffmann_ think of this machine? 😏
@ropro9817 I'd kill to see him review it!! Just watching him right now review everything but the machines I DON'T want...

Thank you for sharing that information!
Thank you for this review. I wish you had a store in New Jersey,USA.
Very impressive espresso machine, nice looking, fun and informative video, nicely done.
Thank you! I appreciate your kind words.

Stay tuned ;)
What about compare to Philips Barista Brew ?
You certainly make machine look very interesting. After viewing, I had a look at the online owner manual. It makes no mention of regular cleaning. I am talking of weekly back flush cleaning which all espresso machine makers recommend. Do you know how to make a back flush cleaning of this machine ?
This machine does not require backflushing
So no 3 way solenoid valve ? Just like Philips is also missing . Are you getting wet pucks ?
What glass did you use?
We sell them on our website. ecscoffee.com/a/search/espresso-specialty-cups?filter_brand=One+Point+Twenty+One
It beats my Mr Coffee Cafe Barista. It might be time for an upgrade!
Does it make regular coffee?
You could make an americano - pull a shot then add hot water to it. This will get a similar output/flavour to a drip coffee
@@dougheiser8187thank you, I’m torn between going with two separate machines or getting one that does both.

Which best machine for homes please tell me
Tough question. Depends on price and needs
@@ecscoffeeinc under1000 dollars
Does it tell you when drip tray is full or water tank is empty? Because the old model did not.
Yes it has a float that indicates when to empty it
@@dougheiser8187 but it does not stop and tell you like a full automatic?
@@jordi_devriesno you will need to notice the float popping out, a fully automatic has sensors that will stop the machine to prevent overflow
I can't choose between this machine or the breville Barista express impress. Having reviewed both, which one do you prefer?
Hmm... It depends now on how much work you want to put into making your coffee! The Breville Barista Express Impress has smart dosing system as well as the Impress Puck system, so it will require less thinking and work in the morning
@@ecscoffeeinc Do they both make the same quality latte in your opinion? The end result is my main priority. Thank you.

Does this machine grind by weight similar to the Ninja Luxe Cafe or is it on a grind timer?
Timer

Will you be reviewing the Kitchenaid Superautomatic?
Yes we have a video launching very soon
@@ecscoffeeinc Great!
The pants change halfway though the video😅
I think you should have weighed the grounds to see the amount you were getting. You also didn't show the needle during the pull.

This or Breville Oracle Jet?
not apples to apples

Overselling it 😏
Isn’t this just a bit of a knock off of the OG Breville Oracle/Barista?
Different machine and price point to Oracle. Similar to Express with a few differences
