Customer Ratings & Reviews

Makes a great espresso. My only complaint is that no matter what I do I cant get a cup made in the 'ideal' meter range on the front. None the less its easy to use, consistent, and my wife and I love it.

Machine came in perfect condition but it is a little tricky to maneuver and get the perfect espresso. However once you find the right setting it’s all good.

Finally bought after a while, with COVID-19 working from home should have bought way earlier. Impressed with the coffee, so much so that now I need to be much more careful about my total consumption. Goes on sale 1-2X per year, often knocks ~$100 off (FYI).

Its easy to learn how to make beverages. Id say this is worth investing which could save you a lot of money in the long run by skipping starbucks or other coffee shops. I love this machine. Very easy to use

Worth every dime. I stopped going to my favorite coffee shops because I get better coffee, iced or warm better at home. Better get yours now!!!

If you love a good espresso or latte, this machine is for you. It's easy to learn how to use it and the coffee tastes amazing! Not to mention the many dollars you're saving each day and week. It's also a beautiful machine so the design up-levels the kitchen.

This machine is so amazing we stopped going to Starbucks. This is my 2nd Barista Express machine. The first machine lasted over 5 years with daily use of at least 10-15 cappuccinos per day.

Great espresso maker easy to use produces delicious espresso

Easy to setup and makes great expresso! We absolutely love it.

I was fortunate enough to buy this on sale and I’m glad I did. I have stopped drinking coffee altogether and only make lattes now. The machine does require some research and practice to use. If you don’t have the time to learn and the patience, this won’t be the machine for you.

Better coffee machine ever I bought ir for my mom She loved it

Great product all around. Well built, easy to set up, beautiful machine!

We have this Espresso Machine for 17 months now. We use this at least twice a day and it still works great. We've been keeping up when the cleaning notification lights up. Be sure to descale/clean when it's time to do so.

Brews an excellent espresso right on your counter. The integrated grinder produces very fine grounds and allows dial in your espresso to accommodate whole beans from various sources. The dual wall caps are very useful to make use of random ground beans you may have around. Highly recommend over single serving machines that eventually make your coffee experience tedious.

Works very well; occasionally the steamer doesn't flow and has to be turned off and on again. Love the integrated grinder. Hard to access water reservoir on kitchen counter because of overhead cabinets so I have to move it forward to refill. Directions aren't very good but once you figure it out, it is easy. Worked great out of the box. Glad I finally bought it!

Excellent machine to enjoy a tasty freshly ground coffee. That aroma awakens anyone because it's craving just by listening to the grinding of the coffee beans. 100% recommended.

Loooooooooooooooooooooooveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee it

I had originally purchased a Brim 19 Bar Espresso machine in Summer 2019. That machine worked for less than a year when the steam pipe completely gave out. Luckily, i had purchased the extended service plan, which I used toward the purchase this Breville espresso machine (about a month ago). I had the Breville machine for a week at which point the steam completely stopped working. As with the previous machine, I returned the first Breville machine and exchanged it for a new one. Now I have had the second Breville machine for almost three weeks. It works fine except that the coffee grinder sometimes needs a shake or a tap to get coffee to move through it smoothly. Give this issue, I am not sure how long the built-in grinder will last. As for the rest of the machine, it seems to work pretty well. It definitely makes good espresso and steams milk well. Given my experiences to date, I am not sure I have the confidence that this Breville machine will stand the test of time. I feel that these machines are designed to work for a limited period of time and then they just break. I hope I am wrong about that. Regardless of which machine one chooses to purchase, I would not go without the extended service plan. If anything goes wrong, insurance is important because these machines are expensive and buying another one is not cheap. Let’s hope this one lasts for a long time...

Excellent espresso machine. If you never made and espresso before (like me), this machine can be a little intimidating. Easy to use once figured out. Sturdy. The built in grinder is a plus plus if you dont have one. Highly recommend!!

This espresso machine is a powerful one for being entry level, i will say that you need to be patient with your self if your new to tamping and such. buy cheap fine grounds to learn how to tamp with to start and then buy your snarky special beans to fully get your moneys worth. no complaints. just be patient with learning to pull your shots.
