Thanks for the comparison. I've used my Breville Barista Express (with grinder on top) every day for four years without a single issue. You can literally adjust everything. Grind amount and coarseness, amount of coffee in the basket for a single or double, and the strength and size of your shot. Once you set the parameters it's all automated. Heats up quickly and steams great. Even gives you a reminder when the drip tray needs to be emptied. Price is great for what you get too. Happy customer.

7:40 Gail you did it! Your pouring technique has improved so much! Nice spring latte art!

[@zirinovskis]

Breville does look nicer, but it's a lot of cheap plastic. Ours starting leaking after 18 months (yes, we replaced the seal, didn't help) and the company wanted $300 just to look at it to see if it can be repaired. The Ascaso has a 2-yr warranty. Wish we had gone with the Ascaso.

At 10:50, the rubber thing looks like it falls in the milk! I love these videos - great channel.

[@johndoyle5983]

Thanks Gail. Great video as usual. Very imformative.

[@AC21578]

We love you Gail. :-) Awesome reviews as usual.

[@setupandshoot]

you didn't mention that the Breville comes with a frothing cup. Looks like the Ascaso requires more work to get a cup of coffee. I have the Breville (Barista Express) and I like that the water temp is not something i need to keep an eye on.

[@kevinzeng9606]

Love the cinematics and the drinks! :)

[@jlegresley]

Congrats, you finally did some art w the Breville. What kind of milk did you use? I always use skim or 2% and have a problem getting the consistency to do art. I usually end up w " blarp". Should I use 3.25% milk? By the way, you should indicate the Ascaso is twice the price of the Infuser.

[@mf4403]

The ascato is too expensive, for a bit more you could get a real single boiler like ECM Casa or bezzera ... stick with the Breville if you’re on a budget otherwise step up to the 1200-1400$ range and get a real machine. You would want to upgrade your cheap one anyway after 3-4 years....

[@achilleasmanousakis4622]

Somehow with Breville Barista express it feels like the extraction is better when the pressure gauge is out of range for me. Right around 1 o'clock.

[@ericzohar1345]

Thank you for the reviews.. May I please ask for you to taste the espresso before adding milk ? As I drink only espressos and that is my real comparison with the extraction.. Thank you

[@GlenEdwards]

Looks like Breville is the clear winner, unless the other one is a lot cheaper. Breville is much more intelligent with the auto refilling thermocoil, and programable buttons.

[@AC21578]

I got the Breville for my bday last November and I am in love with it! Use it everyday :-)

[@skyboy123454321]

Lucky you with the breville! i have a moka pot

[@SaltyPenguin255]

I have the barista express and I absolutely love the breville machines.

[@ArgentumOmaha]

I loved the Breville when it worked well but the vibratory pump started to make noise until it gave up. I saw other videos where they take them apart and the Ascaso seems simpler, better built and easy to repair. The Breville is more plasticy and complex.

[@allenbercero3661]

The only down side I see with these entry level breville machines (barista express and below) would be durability

[@marcopeace1]

Hey Gail, love your channel, I’m in the market for an espresso machine but I am torn between the Ascaso Dream Up and the the Breville Barista Express. Can you please give me some advice. Thanks.

[@islandgirl6175]

What did you end up getting? Im so confused myself

[@lacamaradefanny]

did you end up choosing one? I am in the same boat.

[@kimohoganesq]

Miss you Gail !!!! ;(

[@pollyboy12]

nice job on the lighting change 👍

[@pptkn4025]

Frothed milk separates in no time and espresso expires also so best is doing them together but I would chose milk first for taste. But for latte art I'd choose espresso first.

[@RandomS4nity]

Another con for the Breville is the 53mm portafilter.. impossible to find a bottomless portafilter for the infuser :(

[@hankrousseau4127]

That's versus the 57mm portafilter with the Ascaso? Another oddball, why didn't they go with 58mm?

[@jefferydewberry7659]

we love Gail!

[@user-oj6yd1nb8d]

who really win breville or ascaso??

[@mslorette]

Good morning, Gail. . Which is the better ... thermo coil or the thermo block relative to quality and longevity?

[@SeattleCoffeeGear]

Either will get your water up to temp quickly. Thermocoils are less prone to leaking than thermoblocks. Either way you go, regularly descaling your machine is probably the most important thing you can do to ensure longevity. Here's a video if you want to see more of the differences - kzbin.info/www/bejne/aWiciqeafrejiLc

[@mslorette]

Thank you. Very helpful.

[@kayrubygladys]

Like the new intro!

[@golden-heartcity3852]

If you want to reload coffee do you have to depressurise first. How do you pit the machine away after use

[@helpfulnatural]

Very polished intro there Gail. :)

[@vicelore]

How is the price not something to consider.

[@ThorMaxx]

Nice improvements to your videos...the only criticism...your camera person needs to stop moving around so much.

[@ahmettanriverdi5238]

Yes, it's really irritating!

[@jhillestad]

I always thought you did your milk foam last because the espresso might get burnt by the higher degree water temp set for steam.

[@james_crook]

John H The Breville auto purges and lets out the too hot water into the tray below. The heats the water agin to the right temp to prevent that from happening.

[@tonygibbons5]

What do you mean by auto fill? 🤷

[@craig84downunder]

Can I retro fit the ascaso steam arm to older model?

[@MarinessNTU]

How do you tell the temperature in Breville is ready after the auto refill kicking in?

[@SeattleCoffeeGear]

Because of the thermocoil, the infuser is ready to brew almost immediately after turning on. After steaming milk, you can brew your shots right away as well. At start up, you can also pull an empty shot through the group/portafilter to pre-warm. Hope that helps!

[@ArgentumOmaha]

It's got a light that goes off when ready. It's almost immediate.

[@Knightofspirit]

Audio is too hot. Glad, that there are two shots at the end!

[@Jjjj2828]

Audio is fine, check speakers haha

[@xuarchie9098]

i really like breville, too bad they don't have agent or branch in China.

[@jakp8777]

Xu Archi kinda odd, since all their stuff is made in china

[@mapa5000]

Nice video, but you don't show the most important part of the process...the extraction of the coffee

[@angeladelia7472]

love burlurp! lol

[@alekzzisrec]

I'm a Breville Fan !! :)

[@AlexanderLong]

Man! Thought I would be first here. Maybe next time.

[@tblogs7461]

Breville is the best
