vs the Breville Barista Express

The cheapest route to a steam wand and a pressure gauge. 20 bar looks impressive but is headroom; the tank is small and there is no grinder.

What matters in espresso machines

Pump pressure is the least useful number on an espresso box: good espresso is pulled at about 9 bar, so 15 or 20 bar is headroom, not quality. What changes your mornings is whether a grinder is built in, how big the portafilter is and how long the warranty runs.
