Breville BES870XL Barista Express Espresso Machine

Thanks //@anonymous: It will last a long time if you keep the steam wand clean. I let mine get gunked up and it eventually blew out the pump. Fixing it was going to cost like $300, so I just bought another one and it's been doing great.

I got one back in 2014 and it is broken after about 3000 cups. Pros said it was about the right life span. This is perfect model to do entry level latte art.

Should we buy during inflation?

And I love my Aeropress. It’s pretty good too! //@anonymous: I love my french press. It makes perfect coffee.

Are you sure about that? //@Anonymous: Not the same, it was the 840XL model //@Anonymous: was $432 in 2019

$432 in 2019 worth more than $524 now !

This is a good price.

I just got this for Xmas and it’s outstanding. I had a $70 off-brand with high Amazon ratings but couldn’t produce crema. This one is the business.

Would you say that $600 is a good price for this one? And how much would it have cost to repair yours? //@anonymous: I miss mine. It broke down after 6 or 7 faithful years. I updated to the Barista Pro, but I miss the more straightforward utility of the express. The pressure gauge is a nice feature to help dial in shots.
