Customer Ratings & Reviews

The is the best expresso coffee machine and is very easy to use! I’ve made a ton of coffees and only requires low maintenance. It makes delicious lattes! Better than store bought drinks.

Makes amazing coffee, easy to use, cannot recommend enough

Absolutely amazing and really easy to use. I would recommend this for anyone looking.

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 purchase for daily coffee drinkers.

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.

Makes such great espresso! The machine is very easy to use. I used to buy coffee everyday until I got this machine. My lattes taste better than my local coffee shop!

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.

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.

Awesome machine. It works great and it makes my favorite cup of coffee every morning.

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.

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!

Superb espresso maker - the second one I've bought (this was a gift). Highly recommended

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

This is a great espresso maker. It is expensive, but I feel like it merits the cost. It is well made, easy to operate, and makes consistently good espresso.

Takes espresso making to a new level , set is pretty easy with the included directions, well built and worth the price for sure , top notch at this price point

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.

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.

I make cappuccinos just about every day as part of the morning ritual and it has save me time and money going to get one. Well worth the price for espresso enthusiasts. Easy to use and clean. Grab some premium water and get your grind dialed in, it sets your mood for the day. Enjoy.
