Making your first espresso with the Sage / Breville Barista Express

The Sage / Breville Barista Express is a fantastic entry level machine for getting into making espresso based cafe drinks. With a burr grinder, espresso brewing, and a steam wand for milk steaming, you can do all the coffee drinks you desire. BUT it does come with a steep learning curve which can be made even more intimidating by professional videos you may watch. Hopefully my guide will help you make your first steps into making your own espresso-based drinks. Not sponsored.
