Customer Ratings & Reviews

Have had it for a while and its working great! Easy to learn and use

I'm really happy with my espresso machine! I bought it in an attempt to simply make my coffee at home at any time of day and it has worked wel. It's super easy, and convinient. Coffee so far has tasted good. I know the steam wands on these home espresso machines are some times an issue. I'm not a trained barista, so Idk how well it does in making designs, but I am def able to warm up the milk and get my froth.

I exhaustively research items before purchasing and this was one of those items. This item by far has the highest reviews for a home espresso machine that is all in one. The grinder is great, a lot of grind size choices, and it’s easy to clean. It heats up fast and produces a delicious shot or double shot of espresso as long as you are using the correct beans. The steam wand takes about 15-20 seconds to build up the pressure prior to use but that is no big deal. So far no issues other than my own learning curve with trying to texture my milk properly to achieve the perfect micro-foam for latte art.

That awesome. I can’t complain is all I was need on the morning to star my wonderful day complete recommend this is no just a coffee machine. This is awesome.and the price. Is excellent

Great machine that produces awesome espresso. We made one modification to raise the cups up with an after market stand. Also great looking!

I love this thing. It taught me how to make espresso. All you “one cupper Keurigs,” can keep it. Why have a bologna sandwich when you can have a steak? Ya’ll are literally missing out! The machine is robust and comes with a lot of stuff to get started. Best Buy had it to me faster than if I went and got one myself. Them shippers don’t mess around!! Oh and find ya a good organic coffee for your machine. Worth it!

I am love my new Breville- Barista Express Espresso Machine. It definitely has the Breville quality and professional look. I am happy to be able to get it in stainless steel to match my other appliances. I like that I am able to do everything from start to finish quickly. The grinder grinds the beans to whatever setting you want your beans at and the frother generates steam quickly. I had very little adjusting to get the pressure to where I wanted. My only con would be it is a little pricey, but then again if you consider buying a cappuccino or expresso out 3 or 4 times a week it will pay for itself eventually saving you money in the long run.

This was a gift for my husband. He has enjoyed trying different coffee beans and strengths of coffee. It will always be in our home. We love Breville products!!

I could not be more pleased with this machine. It did take a little bit of getting used to, especially as I have no past barista experience. Now I look forward to making my own lattes and espresso at home because it tastes even better than a coffee shop! Definitely worth the splurge.

Very good espresso coffee machine, the coffee made by the machine is amazing and is ease to use. I recommend this machine for beginners and experts on this matter.

Such a great machine! I make coffee everyday with this machine. It might take a minute to learn how to use, but once you figure it out you have your own coffee shop in your house!

Overall very happy with my purchase, only con is the price. Takes only a few minutes to make coffee and clean up, it takes have practice and dialing in your personal perferences. The machine is made with quality material, probably will last for a long time. The built in grinder is simple to use and has an auto measurement setting. Every aspect of the machine indicate that the designer put alot of thought into it and didnt have to make many compromises. Although it is alot of money for a coffee machine, I dont regret the buy at all.

Amazing, my husband loves it. I gave this as a gift for Christmas because he loved to make coffee and now he is learning more skills with this coffee machine

This espresso machine is amazing! I definitely recommend to watch a few YouTube videos around how to operate it. There are some really great tips about how to dial it in to get your pressure in the espresso range and make perfect drinks. My girlfriend and I were making barista level drinks on night one because we paid attention to those YouTube videos who are made by folks with plenty of experience with this machine. I highly recommend it. We eliminated our Starbucks expenses completely. If you are a daily coffee shop patron the money you invest in this device will prove to be an excellent decision. Watch several YouTube videos and pay attention. Then go buy this machine. Do it!

Do you want to wake up knowing what winning is like? Do you want to feel the pervitin running through your system. Do you want to feel like you're in your 20s again and have energy. Do you want to skip the lines and Starbuck's and make a even better coffee at home, and not have to pay 10$ for a latte? Do you have that special someone you want to start the day with and have a little more " wake up" time with Well look no further! After about 65 lattes this bad boy pays for it's self.

Overall a great looking machine. It is easy to use however there is a learning curve as there will be with any espresso machine. It took me about two weeks to find the right grind that wotks best. It cant be too fine or too course. Once you find that sweet spot it is easy peasy after that. Steaming milk also has a learnig curve. For me the steaming pitcher has to be at least a 1/4 full. Less than that the steam wand just doesnt reach it well. Keeping the steam just at the surface of the milk yields the best results for me. For a mocha foam adding just a little instant hot cocoa to milk is pretty darn good.

I have loved using this espresso maker. It makes fantastic coffee drinks and is very straightforward and user-friendly.

Love it! It is a perfect one for those coffee lovers that are looking to amp up their coffee experience and actually learn to be baristas. It is not a toy, is a real one!

This is one of the best espresso machines I have ever used. Very robust. I have owned it for 18+ months and I didn't have any issues with it. It requires cleaning/descaling and care. Only buy it if you are willing to learn how to properly extract a perfect shot of espresso. You have control over the griding amount, size, and the pressure you apply to the portafilter. It takes time and practice to handle the steam wand nicely and have a good milk foam if you want to make cappuccinos. If you only drink pour-over coffee, this machine is not for you.

Once you get it dialed in, excellent machine. There's an inner grind setting that is not immediately obvious, it can turn out a much finer grind once you take off the hopper and adjust this down to good settings. I wasted quite a bit of coffee before a Youtube video clued me into this. Gotta get your pressure needle pointing straight up or further - and it likes fresh beans, not supermarket junk. Find a coffee shop for freshly roasted beans, study Youtube for how to froth your milk, and in a couple months this thing pays for itself.
