Was digging around with all the Breville mid-range coffee machines and comparing some options and came across this deal from Amazon for the Breville Barista Express Impress - basically the newer model of the Express.
Breville the Barista Express Impress Brushed Stainless Steel (BES876BSS4IAN1) - $736 @ Amazon
Also don't forget to redeem Starter Pack(promotions.breville.com.au) (ends Dec 22) via registration, which includes:
* 2 x 250g P&R Porter St Coffee Beans
* Live Roaster Online Demonstration
Closest prices I've seen elsewhere ~$799 at David Jones & ~$839 at Bing Lee. So great deal I think.
I thought that this was a great video comparing the Express with the Express Impress - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EoPig1D7SJI
tl;dr - more more grinding options, consistent auto dosing and tamping. Not for everyone, but great for those wanting decent espresso shots without too much fuss.
