Great appliance for beginners
Took a bit of time and waste of beans to tweak to the ideal settings. But brews great coffee. No issues so far. Great for playing with if you are learning to perfect your own espresso and Lattes. Recommended!

Cute machine that does the trick.
Does the job but has a smaller water tray and a smaller water cartridge tank at the back. Constantly refilling after about 4 lattes made. Has enough power to heat the milk within around 3 minutes and comes with extra bit's to help temp and get the correct level grind. Am yet to recieve the gold extras cash amount for buying extended warranty, not sure if that part is a scam.

Perfect Coffee
I bought this machine as my old Breville Barista Touch died on me after 5 years, the reason why I downgraded was the Touch Machine just wasn't cutting it with good heat in the milk stage, so I went for the Express which I find a much better machine. Great quality machine, I would highly recommend this machine.

Q: Is the Breville Barista Express BES870SLQ suitable for beginners, or is it better for experienced home baristas?
A: Yes, it suits beginners who want to learn, but it is still a hands-on machine. The built-in grinder, shot controls and grind size dial simplify setup, while manual tamping and milk texturing give more control than a push-button automatic model.
Q: What is the difference between the BES870SLQ and other BES870 models like BES870XL or BES870BSS?
A: The BES870SLQ is the Salted Liquorice finish of the Barista Express. BES870BSS is a different finish, while BES870XL is commonly a North American model code, so naming and included accessories can vary even when the core machine platform is similar.
Q: Does the integrated grinder on the BES870SLQ give enough control for different coffee beans?
A: Yes, the integrated conical burr grinder has 16 grind settings, which gives useful adjustment for different beans and roast levels. That helps when switching from darker espresso blends to lighter roasts that often need a finer or coarser grind.
Q: Can the Breville Barista Express BES870SLQ brew espresso and texture milk at the same time?
A: No, this model is designed for sequential use, so espresso extraction and steam wand milk texturing are done one after the other. That is normal for this style of home machine and can add a short wait when making several milk coffees in a row.
Q: Is the 2 litre water tank large enough for a household making multiple coffees each day?
A: Yes, the 2 litre tank is generous for home use and usually covers several drinks before a refill is needed. Actual drink numbers vary with cup size and whether hot water is used, but it generally suits couples or families making back-to-back coffees.
Q: How long does a Breville Barista Express like the BES870SLQ typically last?
A: A Breville Barista Express commonly lasts around 5 to 10 years with regular descaling, cleaning and sensible daily use. Lifespan depends on water quality, grinder care and how heavily it is used, so neglected machines usually wear out sooner.
