When we talk about the Breville Barista Express and Solis Barista Perfetta, both machines are very similar. Barista Express has a built-in grinder, but Solis Barista Perfetta does not have a built-in grinder, and it remains the main difference between the two competitors. It would help if you always had an espresso grinder to grind your coffee beans in a fine powder of espresso size. Although there are many benefits of using a Perfetta machine, you can upgrade your grinder and machine by yourself. Moreover, the Perfetta machine has all the features and functions that you want, but its grinder lacks precision. Also, a separate grinder can make it difficult for you to manage its size, as this is not a problem with a Barista Express that comes with a built-in grinder.
Rapping up, both Breville Barista Express and Solis Barista Perfetta are reliable coffee machines that make espresso shots without doing much work and in less time.

The newest of Breville's 5 Espresso machines, the Barista Express has a programmable or manual coffee settings, an integrated conical burr grinder, hands-free grinding cradle, preset and adjustable dose control, PID temperature control, low-pressure pre-infusion, dedicated hot water outlet for long blacks, multi-access swivel steam wand, 2L Water tank with a water filtration system, fast heat up and high-pressure steam for do-it-yourself third-wave specialty drinks. The result: more evenly brewed and more tasteful coffee. |
Barista Perfetta Plus is a purely amateur espresso machine with a golden middle between professional equipment and semi-professional features. With solenoid, enlarged group head, pressurized and unpressurized filters, professional steam wand, and pressure gauge Solis Barista Perfetta Plus is a compact, fast, and good-looking espresso machine. Unfortunately, it is hard to evenly warm up the Solis, especially the group head. That’s why this espresso machine tends to brew a bit sourer than Barista Express. |
