This espresso machine has a built-in grinder with automatic coffee measuring and assisted tamping, along with precise water temperature and near-instant steam pressure.
Tamping is the hardest part of the espresso pulling process to learn: in order for the pressurized water to evenly extract good flavors, the coffee needs to be compressed perfectly level. If the coffee bed is packed too loose, the water will channel through some parts faster than others and overextract bitterness. If the bed isn’t level, the water will run down one side of the puck and, again, extract bitter flavors.
The Barista Express Impress uses a piston to level out the coffee and apply consistent tamping pressure each time you use it. A built-in sensor then measures the bed depth of the coffee based on how far down the piston traveled and automatically adjusts how much the grinder doses into the filter basket. It’s an extremely impressive bit of technology that simplifies the shot-pulling process and makes pulling consistently good espresso at home a reality.
is excellent for the home espresso novice, especially since it doesn't require in-depth training to learn how to use it.
