Coffee lovers will probably agree that accessibility is one of the best things about picking up your cup of joe from your favorite coffee shop. It’s ideal for those leading busy lifestyles, specifically people who can only afford a couple of minutes a day to have that quick shot of caffeine.
One of the downsides of enjoying commercial coffee, however, is the quality you get to enjoy. While a lot of second-wave coffee brands have progressed in terms of taste and the process of creating their drinks, it cannot be argued that nothing still beats homemade, handcrafted cups of joe. There is just something incredibly romantic about creating it on your own, crafting it to suit your taste, and enjoying your cup in the comfort of your home. This is exactly what the Barista Express Impress offers—a chance for everyone to enjoy the process of making and creating high-quality coffee straight from their kitchens without the frills and unnecessary bells and whistles.

The Barista Express Impress is the newest model from premium home lifestyle brand Breville Philippines. From its design to its features, the espresso machine is created to fit the lifestyle of those who want to get the most out of their coffee experience but do not have the luxury of time to make one. The model’s product DNA speaks for itself. As Breville’s first assisted manual espresso machine, the Barista Express Impress is the definition of convenience, quality, and simplicity.
One of the star features of the model is its Impress Puck System which helps craft the best cup for you. The system involves intelligent dosing which automatically calculates the dosage you need. From there, the machine will precisely tamp with a 10kg impression and 7-degree barista twist for a polished puck. The system also gauges when the correct level is achieved and makes sure to use this for your next brewing.
Similar to the other impressive models of espresso machines of Breville Philippines, the Barista Express Impress also delivers Third Wave Specialty Coffee using the four keys formula which, other than providing the ideal dosage, also sets the right temperature, optimal pressure, and sufficient steam for your coffee.
From all angles, this newest offering from Breville Philippines reinvents the way coffee lovers approach and enjoy coffee. It is the perfect proof against the misconception that quality third-wave coffee is elitist and that enjoying it requires time and knowledge. The Barista Express Impress is the ideal entry model for budding coffee enthusiasts or those who simply want to enjoy the best of both worlds when it comes to convenience and quality. Furthermore, it proves that better coffee is for everyone and that anyone can #BringThemHome as long as they have the right home partners by their side.
The Breville Express Impress retails for P69,999 and is available in all major home appliance outlets carrying the Breville brand. Are you already a Breville owner? You can also opt to trade up a Breville espresso machine model to experience this newest offering from the line. For more information about the product, you can visit the official Breville website or follow their Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok channels.

Rarely do I visit Las Pinas and it is no surprise to find another SM branch. I was on my way to a food review at Tahong Island (where you can find the best Baked Mussels!) and SM southmall was our pickup point. I kill time by reading e-books at cafes. It's my first to see this place and the interior design is something else. The ceiling is high, it has a second floor and it is comfortable.
Impressive ceiling. I am in love with books and I prefer this over the Sistine Chapel :)
Stairs leading to the second floor where more seats are available.
The walls are made of corrugated steel similar to container vans and decorated with Black and White photos.
Another unique design is the Graffiti decorated wall on the right. Talk about freedom of expression.
Space, space, space.
Attention to detail. Here is a an audio player with a British flag design. It plays CDs and has a radio as well.
This extra long table is ideal for business meetings or small gatherings.
Candle-lit. Plants and artsy decor makes dining more comfortable.
The best part of the cafe is the view. Look up and you might see your favorite book.
Sandwich. Noodles. Dimsum. Seafood. Coffee. The menu is versatile
