The Breville Barista Express is an espresso machine.

The Barista Express espresso machine has a built-in burr grinder, pressure gauge, and hot water dispensers. If you want to experiment a bit, you can adjust the brew temperature a bit. The cheapest espresso machine on the list is the best option for most people who want to upgrade from a basic espresso maker. It is a great place to start learning how to pull great espresso. It drops to this price a lot.
The Best Espresso Machines include the Barista Pro. It's a step up from the Barista Express, with a built-in burr grinder, a digital display for customizing grind size, and other settings. It has a built-in hot water spout, which is a high-end feature you don't usually see on machines under $1,000. This deal is also available at Bed Bath & Beyond.
The Barista Touch has the same features as the Barista Pro. The home barista who wants to program in their own drinks and access them at the touch of a button is more suited to the Barista Touch. You can have the Barista Touch whip you up a latte by hitting the button. It's a nice option to have when you're not in a good mood, because it will foam the milk. This deal is also available at Bed Bath & Beyond.
Breville Precision Brewer Coffee Maker.

Breville's Precision Brewer is a stand-out, and it's one of the best drip brewers on the market. It features a broad shower head for making sure your beans are evenly coated with hot water, and the brew goes fast, which is important for making sure your coffee maker is getting the best flavors from your beans. It's similar to a machine from Bonavita, but the Breville has a digital display and a pour-over conversion kit so you can fit your favorite coffee drink in there and have the machine make your morning cup before you even get out.
We don't like when the most expensive option is actually the best, but in this case, the Dynamic Duo fits that bill. The package includes the Breville dual boiler, one of the best espresso machines we've ever tested, and the Smart grinder Pro, which is $200 by itself. The grinder is for free with this sale price. It's a lot of money and both will take up a lot of counter space.
