Breville Barista Express Espresso Machine: Is It A Good Choice?

Breville’s espresso machines are some of its most popular products, and the Breville Barista Express Espresso Machine, the BES870XL is Breville’s most popular espresso machine, at least by sales, and has remained popular for many years.

The Barista Express is an all-in-one machine for those who really savor fresh premium coffee beans. With it, you can go from grind to pour in under 1 minute, topped with an artisan styled foam display.

Breville Boss To Go Sport Personal Blender – Is It A Good Personal Blender?

The Breville Boss To Go Sport blender is a personal blender and a part of Breville’s newest blender product line that includes the Fresh & Furious, the Q and the Super Q full-sized blenders.

The Boss To Go Sport personal blender is designed to make smoothies and other drinks “to go” and also to make small batches of everything from baby food to sauces. It’s basically a mini blender for quick batches, with its own set of powerful blades and two different blender cups, a 23-ounce cup, and a 15-ounce cup. It’s not, however, designed for making soup or anything hot since there are no vents in the blender cups.

You can also use the Breville Boss To Go Sport blender in addition to your full-sized Breville or another blender to make small batches, maybe during the weekday, so you can skip using and then cleaning your full-sized blender to keep it ready for larger batches.

Breville Fresh & Furious BBL620 Blender – What Happened To The Hemiphere Model?

The Breville Fresh & Furious BBL620 Blender was introduced to the market in 2018 as a replacement of the Breville BBL605XL Hemisphere Control Blender. The Fresh & Furious is improved with a more powerful blender motor, a slightly larger blender jar, an Auto Clean function and an additional automatic blending program, Green Smoothie.

With the addition of the Green Smoothie mode, the Fresh & Furious has 3 automatic blending modes, while the Hemisphere has only two. The Fresh & Furious also have 5 different manual speeds, just like the Hemisphere. The latest version of the Fresh & Furious is also compatible with the Breville Vac Q air vacuum system (sold separately) that is designed to make creamier, tastier smoothies and other blended food and drinks by removing air out of the blender jar before blending.

The biggest difference between these two Breville blender models, however, is the power of the blender motors. The Fresh & Furious is rated at 1,100 watts, the Henipshere only 750. So, the Fresh & Furious has almost 50% more power than the Hemisphere, at least as measured by watts.
