Fresh ingredients make everything taste better, that's why the Barista Express Espresso Machine uses coffee beans to give the natural oils that will give the espressos & cappuccinos the rich flavour after the coffee bean is ground. The best way for the Barista Express to accomplish this is to grind the bean & straight into the filter automatically to extract the full of the fresh flavours. Coming with an expert array of helpful features such as the Thermacoil Heating System that means that you can adjust the temperature controls to how you like it the best.
