    Family loves it. Great starter espresso machine it takes a while to learn how to use the machine but once you’ve got it i promise they’ll taste just as good as a cafe. I would buy the warranty just incase because the first one we bought was faulty and leaking and if we hadn’t noticed in time we would’ve lucked out.

    Even if you are a newbie like me, this machine is very beginner friendly and there are many many youtube videos of people reviewing this and showing you how to make good espresso. The quality of this unit has been pretty good so far. Great packaging and the stainless steel didnt have any scratches or blemishes when unpacking. If you love espresso and want one at home, you can't go wrong with this one.

    This Machine grinds the beans, makes single or double shot espresso coffee and even froths the milk with its steam wand. It IS pretty much automatic but, needs effort to tune it. But if you do invest the time, you will be rewarded with excellent coffee. Every part of the process is highly configurable especially the grind size and amount of coffee used. The pressure gauge provides absolute feedback as the coffee is being produced and you can make adjustments for the next cup. Very happy with it!

    This has easily been the best purchase I have made in a long time. This machine has already saved me money. Yeah its a little pricey, but so is Starbucks. That stuff adds up everyday. I use this thing all the time. It is easy to use and maintain. Have your espresso drink hot or make it iced. My suggestion to anybody thinking about buying this. Do it. You won't regret it. I would also suggest getting some different flavored syrups for lattes if you're into that.

    At first I was so intimidated with this machine. Within a couple of uses it became so easy to use. I’m so glad I ordered this machine and I highly recommend it. It makes delicious cappuccinos. Simple to use and easy cleanup. I now look forward on making my drinks every morning!

    We love this machine! The Breville Barista Express makes amazing coffee every time. The built-in grinder is super convenient, the espresso comes out rich and smooth, and the milk frother works beautifully for lattes and cappuccinos. It’s easy to use once you get the hang of it, and the quality feels like something you’d find in a coffee shop. Highly recommend!

    The Barista Express is well worth the price and makes a fine dining-level espresso, latte or cappuccino. I have had one for nine years now with no problems. I recommend getting the model with the coffee grinder attachment because it is best to grind the beans immediately before brewing. Enjoy!

    It’s a nice machine! Certainly very loud especially when grinding coffee. After two weeks it started making clinging noise, which went away with time. About two months later the grinder stopped working. It’s only making a winding noise. Contacted breville and I’m sending it back for repair. They were nice and send packaging materials. Currently using a 20$ drip machine.

    Heating up water for tea it’s a bit loud, but the coffee it produces is awesome. Just takes a bit of practice to make an awesome cup.

    I had been wanting this machine for a while so when I got it as a valentines gift, I was very excited. It is super easy to use and makes the best espresso. It’s really not as difficult as people make it look online. Personally, i recommend this model over the ones with screens. I really like the gage showing how your shot is going to come out. 10/10

    I love this machine. It's super simple to learn how to use, is easy to clean, and makes delicious drinks. I usually make an Americano, which takes me about 4 minutes from start to finish. Grinding the coffee before every cup really does make a huge difference in the taste! The only thing I was a little bummed about is that it came with a dent on the front panel and we did not feel comfortable going into the store to exchange it. The knock box accessory is a must have!

    Worth every penny! This machine is super user friendly and very easy to use and maintain. It takes a little tinkering to get the compression of the grounds just right to hit the sweet spot for the pressure. I recommend using a “cheap” coffee bean to dial it all in, them switch to your brand of choice.

    This is a great espresso maker that basically hits the easy button on making great coffee. It does everything you need to make great espresso, lattes, cappuccinos and even your favorite iced drinks. I highly recommend this to anyone who wants to level up from regular drip coffee makers.
