Imagine you were tasked with creating a document of human life, designed for alien consumption, as a team of scientists notably did in 1977. Would you consider yours complete without mentioning your morning cup of espresso?

Try to think about how you would explain the human experience on a day-to-day level. Birdsong, whale calls, Bach, Stravinsky, Chuck Berry. All noble choices for inclusion in an all-encompassing document of humanity, but there’s perhaps nothing as essential as the cup of joe that starts your day.

In those terms, we think it’s no great leap to declare the Breville Barista Express Espresso Machine in Brushed Stainless Steel a pivotal, life-affirming daily necessity, and one that happens to be on sale. Put frankly: to drink a Breville-brewed espresso is what it means to be human.
