Breville Barista Pro
A grinder-integrated single-heater machine that swaps the Barista Express thermocoil for Breville's faster ThermoJet heater and replaces the gauge with an LCD. It is built for home users who want short heat-up, a 54 mm portafilter, PID control and a manual steam wand in one unit.
