A great Espresso Machine. It took slightly longer to 'fine-tune' the settings for grind size and amount compaired to the Barista Express which has a pressure gauge to show the the extraction is within range, compaired to timings on the screen. Having said that, this machine makes greats espresso coffee, so if your looking to purchase your first Espress bean to cup machine, I highly recommend this 'Barista Express Pro' or the 'Barista express' machine.

Highly efficient machine

I have had the Barista Pro about a month now. It is a great machine with all the facilities needed to get anyone started on their home expresso journey. The machine comes with all items needed to make a great coffee. The machine is easy to setup, starts really quickly, is now used on a daily basis and is also easy to clean. It takes some time and coffee to get it 'dialled in' but this is all part of the expresso experience. Provides a nice balance between auto and manual activities to suit most users levels of skill and needs. Go get yourself one and welcome to the wormhole that is home coffee!!!!!
