Breville Barista Pro Espresso Machine
Verdict
ThermoJet heat-up, built-in grinder, LCD dosing — the Express upgraded
The Barista Pro keeps the all-in-one beans-to-espresso workflow of the Express and adds ThermoJet heat-up (~3 seconds claimed), an LCD interface, and finer grind control. It's the machine we recommend when you want one appliance that can keep up with weekday milk drinks without waiting on a slow thermocoil.
