Customer Ratings & Reviews

Amazing product that surpasses expected quality. I use this literally everyday due to its ease of use, how quick it is, and how good freshly grounded coffee taste

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!

Great starter machine, comes with everything you need. I was concerned I wouldn’t use it enough but now it’s a daily use for me that will very quickly pay for itself.

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!

The Barista Express is a very well made machine with many great features. It literally heats up in 40 seconds and is ready to use. The built in grinder dispenses exactly the amount of coffee required to make a single or double shot of espresso. The machine comes with a stainless steel jug to make perfect frothy milk for cappuccino or latte and the wand works really well. There is storage under the machine for accessories and the drip tray is in 3 parts for each cleaning. However, we spent several weeks making adjustments to the grinder in order to get the perfect extraction. We have used the same fresh coffee beans for years and buy them regularly but it was very difficult to get the right setting to avoid the coffee being too bitter and just undrinkable. If you are not experienced in making fresh espresso, this machine may not be for you.

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!

For a single machine that grinds, brews espresso and froths milk all in one, the Breville Barista Express is a top pick, especially when you can find it at Best Buy with strong reviews and reliable return & price match options

There exist a certain amount of touch and feel that goes into making the perfect espresso/latte. Having a electric grinder is a must to get a more consistent shot. The gauge and stop watch (20-25sec double) will help you get to your base line without having to taste test every under/over extracted shot. The steamer is also very easy to use and Helps provide a consistent froth. As with any machine that you want to last, you will have keep it clean, and this machine is as easy as it gets.

This machine Looks great in any kitchen. Most of Breville’s appliances are manufactured using attractive stainless steel, a durable, easy to clean material, meaning quality is second to none! I'm a relative bew user of this product, dont have anything negative to say beside that it takes a bit of countertop real estate, and the higher price point. So far the coffe is really different than a regular machine

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.

Efficient and easy to use once you get the hang of it. Everything is integrated, leading to very little mess. Just make sure to stick to the pressurized filters and keep it clean.

I've bought the second machine for my son. This is the best Espresso Machine I have ever used. I've been using it for about five years. We drink 5-10 cups of late every day and it works with no issue. Usually we make coffee with Lavazza Qualità Oro coffee beans and whole milk but sometimes we drink decaffeinated coffee and this machine allows you to use ground coffee as well. Finally it has everything you need to make delicious coffee.

This is by far the best espresso machine I have ever bought...and I bought a few. Pros: - the grinder works well. Easy to fill up and to use. The grind size can be regulated and the quantity of grinded beans can be adjusted. - the water container is large enough so you can make few espresso or cap or hot water before you need to refill it. - the gauge for coffee pressure is useful - cleaning is super easy - hidden storage compartiment Cons: - none! :) Definitively the best purchase for the money.

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.

I am getting an excellent professional quality espresso coffee out of this machine. I like this particular model of the Breville Espresso family because of its price point and the robust, thoughtful and intuitive design features. I appreciate less electronics and the analog dials looks really great and durable. I would have given it a 5 rating had not for the knocking noise especially when using the steamer. The steam/ hot water generator knob can be improved by giving it some smoother rotation and a strong indication of OFF ( middle position) or a good indication between steam and hot water. Maybe need a lever instead of round knob. But overall, it is an excellent product.

Love this item. I use it just about every day. Makes great expressos

Easy to use, excellent quality. Very pleased with my purchase.

This machine is fantastic for the coffee aficionado. Able to pour the perfect shot every time, and the frother is a good asset as well and makes perfect micro foam for your lattes. The conical burr grinder is a nice addition too providing fresh beans for every cup. A great mid tier espresso machine capable of delivering exceptional lattes and other coffeehouse favorites.

I love this machine. I am pretty new to making espresso. Great for learning and honing the craft of learning how to grind beans and properly froth milk.

I give it only 5 stars because it's all I'm allowed, but it deserves 10 stars; easy to use, easy to clean, makes superb coffee, I also make tea with the hot water spout, and hot chocolate with the steam wand, at first I taught this machine was to expensive; after using it for the fist time I understood I got more than I paid for; LOVE IT, no regrets, highly recommend it. :)
