When you ask any coffee expert, they will tell you that the most important thing for a great espresso is to use fresh coffee beans and grind them as close to the brewing time as possible. In fact, the quality of the coffee decreases in seconds, not minutes, after being ground. That’s why we integrated a coffee grinder into the espresso machine.
The built-in grinder in the 870 machine is a burr grinder type and is designed with many customizations. It allows you to adjust the size and amount of coffee that automatically falls into the portafilter as desired, or you can stop the grinding process at any time. Additionally, the included Razor™ dosing tool – Breville’s patented coffee dosing tool – ensures you always have the right amount of coffee. Finally, the PID temperature control system keeps the water temperature precise throughout the espresso extraction process.
