High-Quality Construction

Built-In Grinder

The Wirsh barista espresso machine has an in-built grinder so that, with a press of a button, this Wirsh Conical burr coffee grinder springs to life, transforming your coffee beans into aromatic particles. By grinding the beans just before brewing, you ensure maximum freshness and optimal extraction, ensuring every sip takes you to a world of pure coffee bliss.

The Heating Tray 

Another ingenious feature of this Wirsh coffee maker is the heating tray. This ensures your cups are preheated, and since extracting the coffee into a warm cup improves the crema, you will enjoy a perfect cup of joe.

Programmable Settings

For customized brewing, the Wirsh Home Barista Pro Espresso Coffee Machine has different settings that make brewing easy, even for a newbie. The coffee machine has touch buttons that are illuminated from behind. Whether you want to grind a single shot or double shot espresso, the buttons are easy to use so that you end up with your perfect cuppa. Plus, the pressure gauge will help you know whether you are grinding too coarsely or too fine.

Also, if you don’t like the default function settings, you can customize your own, and this Wirsh Espresso Machine will remember your customization setting. 

Detachable Transparent Water Tank

To prevent overfilling or underfilling the espresso machine’s water tank, The Wirsh Espresso Machine has a 42oz (354 ml) transparent tank that easily clicks in and out of place. 

Milk Frother/Steam Wand

This Wirsh Espresso machine also has a milk frother for delicious lattes or cappuccinos. In addition to frothing, the milk frother is also used to steam milk for a creamy and silky texture. 

Performance and Brewing Experience

The performance of a coffee machine directly impacts the extraction quality of the coffee. This Wirsh Espresso Machine has a well-designed and functioning extraction process, resulting in a well-balanced, flavorful, and aromatic cup of coffee.

Preparing an Espresso

To prepare your espresso, you start by adding your coffee beans to the integrated conical burr grinder with 30 settings. Place the portafilter and insert it underneath the grinder and press the single or double grinder setting. 

Once the grinder stops, remove the portafilter from the espresso machine and gently tap it on the countertop for the grinds to set. Next, use the tamper to press the grounds gently and insert it into the group head and place your pre-warmed espresso cup underneath. Press the single shot or double shot button, and the espresso will pour into your cup. 

The good thing about this coffee machine is its consistency in delivering great espresso shots. However, you have to make sure you let the water run through to clean the group head and the milk frother to prevent holes from clogging and to ensure you get a fresh cup of joe every angle time. 

To get to the ideal pressure zone, I had to adjust the grind size, tamping, and amount of coffee beans. This helped me get the perfect extraction rate. You may need to adjust and play around so as to find out what works perfectly for you.

Ergonomic Features

1. Café Size 58 mm Portafilter: The Wirsh Espresso Machine is equipped with a café size 58 mm Portafilter. This larger portafilter allows for a greater dose of coffee grounds and ensures even water distribution during extraction. As a result, the coffee grounds are fully saturated, leading to a more balanced and flavorful espresso extraction.
2. Gentle Pre-infusion Function: The Wirsh Espresso Machine features a gentle pre-infusion function. This function gradually increases the pressure when the brew starts, ensuring that all coffee flavors are extracted evenly. By pre-infusing the coffee grounds with low-pressure water, the machine promotes consistent and thorough extraction, resulting in a delicious cup of espresso.
3. Precise Temperature Control: The Wirsh Espresso Machine has a temperature controller that monitors and controls the thermoblock heating system to ensure that the water delivered to the coffee is at the optimal temperature for extraction. 
4. Powerful Steamer: The Wirsh Espresso Machine is equipped with a powerful steamer for milk frothing. This steamer generates ample steam pressure and delivers a high steam output, allowing for quick and efficient milk frothing. With the powerful steamer, you can achieve creamy and textured milk foam, perfect for creating professional-grade cappuccinos and lattes. It also enables you to explore latte art and enhance the visual appeal of your coffee creations.
5. Single and double-shot espresso buttons. With dedicated buttons for single and double shots, you can ensure a consistent amount of espresso is brewed every time you use this Wirsh espresso machine. These dedicated buttons for single and double shots make the Wirsh Espresso Coffee Machine more user-friendly, even for those less experienced in brewing coffee. 

Maintenance and Cleaning

As mentioned earlier, the Wirsh Espresso Machine needs maintenance to continue functioning effectively. This espresso machine usually runs water through the system for cooling purposes. The water will empty into the drip tray so that you can dispose. 

Steaming your milk frother and wiping off residues also helps keep this Wirsh Espresso Machine functioning well. There are a couple of brushes and a pin that come with this espresso machine that helps clean the machine, and the pins help unclog the holes in pressurized baskets and the end of the steam wand.
