I've had this machine for a few years and it has served me very well, but recently I have upgraded my setup so someone else can enjoy this machine. The Barista Express is an all-in-one semi-automatic espresso machine, meaning there is a grinder built in, and a steam wand, but the machine requires the operator to do all the work, just like at a café. It is definitely possible to get really good quality proper espresso out of this machine and I have done for years. Included is all the original accessories: 54mm portafilter with 4 filter baskets (single and double, both in pressurized and non-pressurized), tamper, scoop, dosing tool, cleaning brush, frothing pitcher, backflushing disk, and steam wand pick. Also included, a couple water filters, a bottomless 54mm portafilter, and a palm tamper/distributor. If you're interested in getting into espresso, or if you're coming from a low-end espresso setup, this is the perfect machine. More info: https://www.breville.com/ca/en/products/espresso/bes870.html
