Do you crave for a freshly brewed coffee but don't always have the time to go out and grab a cup? Are your tired of drinking the same old coffee from your local coffeeshop?
Breville Philippines hopes to answer your caffeine concerns as it launches its new generation of espresso machines that can create your favorite cup of Americano, espresso, latte or cappuccino right in the comfort of your own home.
"Coffee lovers will probably agree that accessibility is one of the best things about picking up your cup of joe from your favorite coffee shop. It's ideal for those leading busy lifestyles, specifically people who can only afford a couple of minutes a day to have that quick shot of caffeine," said Haj Cortez Flores, Breville Philippines brand manager.
"However, one of the downsides of enjoying commercial coffee is the quality you get to enjoy. It cannot be argued that nothing still beats homemade, handcrafted cups of joe. There is just something incredibly romantic about creating it on your own, crafting it to suit your taste and enjoying your cup in the comfort of your home."
This is exactly what the Breville's Barista Express Impress offers — a chance for everyone to enjoy the process of making and creating high-quality coffee straight from their kitchens.

"Honestly, having the espresso machine means being able to experience the whole process of brewing unlike automatic coffee machines wherein you are not in full control in terms of setting, grinding, dosing, intensity and quantity. This machine can produce really good espresso. Espresso is the heart of all espresso-based coffee like Americano, latte and cappuccino," Flores added.
One important feature of Barista Express Impress, Breville's first assisted manual espresso machine, is the Impress Puck System that involves intelligent dosing which automatically calculates the dosage one needs. From there, the machine will precisely tamp with a 10kg impression and seven-degree barista twist for a polished puck. The system also gauges when the correct level is achieved. It also provides the ideal dosage, sets the right temperature, optimal pressure and sufficient steam for the coffee.
