Customer Ratings & Reviews

Having owned an "el cheapo" espresso machine before this was a giant leap because it's certainly a lot more expensive and a hard decision to make. For good espresso you need both a good coffee grinder and a good espresso machine that can handle the bar pressure needed to get that crema out of the coffee. This machine does both and I feel that I did a good decision in trying it. If you are an experienced espresso coffee maker, this should be easy, but a semi-newbie like me, it took some time to get it right where I like it. Don't expect to make your perfect espresso at the first try!! You will need to play with the machine's adjustments to make your coffee as it should be. I do hate the fact that to get the proper amount of grind, it will build a mountain and overflow. Apparently that's normal, but you can also do it two steps if you want and DON'T skimp on the amount of coffee you must put in there or you won't get the results you need. Love the fact that it comes with a tamper already. The steamer works great and easy to clean if you do it right away!!. Watch videos, over and over, to learn the what to do and not do. I use the Starbucks Espresso (white bad) coffee bean and the Italian Roast (brown bag) which are both my favorite. Expect small amount of coffee, not a cup full. it is an espresso and very concentrated. I would recommend this machine for the step up or anyone who loves Americanos, lattes, straight espresso, etc... It simplifies the need for an additional grinder where you should spend at least $200-$300 anyway. So if you've been waiting to make that decision, do it. I don't regret it so far since I now have it for a month. Noise level is reasonable as you would expect from a coffee grinder. Ok... time for coffee now that I've talked about it

Great my wife loves it, its like having your own barista at the house. Saving money on pods

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.

Machine is very user friendly, but I am shooting myself in the foot for not purchasing the dual boiler machine instead. The steam wand is very good, but tend to be a bit slow. The espresso quality is fantastic if you use fresh beans. The water reservoir is a bit small. The machine is very compact, relatively quiet and stays very cool compared to competitors.

I’ve been extremely satisfied with this machine, only had it a month, but it’s made a lot of espresso thus far. The learning curve is fairly simple. It’ll pay for itself in no time, finally happy with espresso at home!

This expresso machine is easy to use, easy to clean with everything you need to make really good coffee drinks. We really enjoy it.

I had diferente espresso machines brands before and after some time using it the machine just gave out. I am very happy with this one and it’s been working great and I brew twice a day, had friends over one day and they loved the taste of the coffee that this machine can brew. I am not gonna lie but there’s some tricks to brew the “perfect” coffee, a couple of adjustments here and there but it’s well worth it. I am still learning how to froth the milk so I can start doing some latte art ;).

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

Delivery was quick, great service. Highly recommend this espresso machine! Coffee is amazing! Never buying coffee again

After years of wasted coffee, I finally decided to get my husband this machine for his birthday. Man we love it. Super simple to use once you get your find amount down and how fine it needs to be you are food to go and make your own espresso in the morning. We will never go back to traditional coffee pots. This is so much better I’m saving money on not buying creamer or throwing out cold not drank coffee I’m the morning. It taste amazing and I’m so happy with this purchase. I’m not barista I watched a lot of YouTube videos to help me out in milk frothing and using the machine, still have a lot to learn. But overall I’m way satisfied with this purchase.

Great quality if you take the time to learn how to use it. It may take a few tries at first, but you can dial it in within the first couple of times using it.

Love my machine so much!! It does take research and trial and error to learn how to use it but once you learn, it’s great!

Never been a coffee person, bought it for my wife, but have slowly been using it for myself more and more. Wonderful machine

This machine is so easy to use. And the money it has saved us at the coffee stores. Love it wish we would have bought this a long time ago.

It takes a little more time to learn but is worth the effort the espresso is restaurant quality.

Very Good Option to have it on you home, Good Quality and performance, go for it!

If you’re spending 200 a month on coffee highly recommend buying this ! 1 it’ll save you money 2 it’ll become a hobby 3 if you’re a person that likes routines this is perfect for you , nothing beats the coffee smell , it is going to take some getting use to but once you get the hang of it it’s life changing ! Best purchase I’ve made in years I use it everyday worth every penny

This is a great product! We use it every day for some cappuccinos and everyone at Best Buy was extremely helpful!

Just buy it, you won't regret it. I wish I bought it sooner !

Purchased on sale, does everything I'd want a machine to do at home.
