The Impress™ Puck System
Made up of three components – Intelligent Dosing, Precision Measurement, and Assisted Tamping – the Impress™ Puck System makes manual espresso making easier than ever.
The Breville Barista Express Impress is a beginner friendly espresso machine that allows coffee enthusiasts to enjoy cafe-quality coffee from the comfort of their own homes. Packed with advanced features, this model is an upgrade from the popular Barista Express and boasts additional features such as the Impress™ Puck System, which simplifies the manual espresso making process even further by providing a seamless experience for any level of expertise in the art of coffee-making.
The main attraction when it comes to the Barista Express Impress is the Impress™ Puck System, which ensures consistent puck formation. This system, which consists of three components – Intelligent Dosing, Precision Measurement, and Assisted Tamping – is crucial for achieving an even extraction with perfect crema.
Intelligent dosing is a function that allows the machine’s dosing system to automatically calculate and adjust the dose of freshly ground coffee as required, based on previous grind and tamp outcomes. Precision measurement auto-corrects the next dose, while assisted tamping, with a 7 degree ‘barista twist’ finish and a consistent 10kg (22 lbs) of pressure, replicates the very same action professional baristas make for a polished puck surface and clean tamp face.
In addition to the Impress™ Puck System, the Breville Barista Express Impress boasts an impressive 25 grind settings to enable you to customize the flavor of your coffee to suit the specific needs of different coffee types. Whether you prefer espresso, drip or pour-over, this Barista Express Impress has got you covered. Additionally, its conical burr grinder allows for a more precise and uniform grind size which is important for achieving the perfect extraction and getting maximum flavor out of your beans.
Other features include a steam wand for frothing milk, a hot water dispenser, a large 2-liter water tank, and programmable shot volume. Additionally, this machine comes with helpful accessories like a portafilter, tamper, and frothing jug to make your barista experience even more enjoyable.
For coffee lovers who want to replicate the café experience at home, the Breville Barista Express Impress is an outstanding choice. With the newly designed Impress™ Puck System and a user-friendly interface, this machine offers advanced features while remaining accessible for novice espresso makers. Enjoy consistent and delectable results from your own kitchen!
