The best Expresso machine, easy to use and super complete.

Best machine ever. So easy to work and the coffee is amazing.

This machine makes amazing espresso right at home. Super easy to use, heats up fast, and the built-in grinder is a game-changer. It feels like having a coffee shop on my counter! Highly recommend for any coffee lover.

This machine is perfect for beginning baristas. It does take a bit to get used to, but once you dial it in, it really is great. The frother attachment works beautifully once you get the hang of it. I highly suggest you read the manual first. They have included some really useful tips and tricks in there to help get you started. The most difficult part for me was getting the tamp just right. Once you've mastered that it's really fast and easy to pull perfect shots every time. I really love that everything you need to get started is right in the box. Of course you can always upgrade down the road. Which is what I plan to do. All in all it really is a great espresso machine.

Extraordinary in every way. I've had my eye on this coffee maker for close to a decade, but never felt comfortable pulling the trigger on a $600 machine. Fortunately, my father-in-law already had one of these available for me to try when we stayed with them over the holidays. One of the best cups of coffee I've had coming out of a someone's home. I immediately started justifying logical reasons for me to own one of these. I purchased one as a gift to myself after hitting my bonus at work earlier this year. I went to Starbucks for the first time in weeks the other day and noticed in my app that I had only visited a Starbucks three times since I purchased this machine several months prior. At $3-$5 a cup (while on the road traveling for work), I see that I've already saved $200-$300 making a large roadie before I leave for work each day. If you can spring it, this machine is AMAZING! Easy to use, easy to clean, very efficient with the built-in grinder (adjustable) and water tank.

As a coffee lover, I was on the hunt for a great coffee machine. Bought this Breville coffee maker as an early Christmas gift, and I can say it went beyond my expectations. Great, smooth coffee, just like I would get from Starbucks or any other fancy coffee shop.

Whether you're a beginner exploring the world of espresso or a seasoned coffee lover, this machine provides everything you need to create café-style drinks at home. Its durability, convenience, and ability to customize your coffee make it an excellent investment for any coffee enthusiast.

I finally bought this for myself and it is the best investment! I have saved so much money with this breville. Difficult to dial in at first, but once you learn how the different grinders work it makes good espresso. You will need to buy an espresso scale to use this

Quality is so high and it’s easy to use, I would love to buy again

For the price, this is reasonable if you know about espresso machines. I’ll say this, anyone can use this machine but if you’ve worked in specialty coffee and want an affordable machine that will give you that good stuff like at work on a commercial machine, you can make this work with a good scale, know-how (dialing in, how to properly steam milk, tamping properly, etc.). This is a decent at home espresso machine! (As long as you know how, you can make this machine do great work!) Tip: I take out the beans after each use because of how hot the machine can get. Don’t wanna ruin good fresh beans!

Breville Barista Express is a great expresso machine. Watch the videos and read the directions. If you are willing to go thru the required steps to setup and maintain it makes great latte's.

Best prosumer espresso machine. I am brand new to this so it is a wonderful starting point for me. Definitely recommend research YouTube and Google for learning how to use it. Once you dial in on the right dose, you’ve got this and enjoy the best coffee you’ve ever had right at home. I love making my coffee it’s an art now. I’m still learning the process of the frother, only down fall is that it is a little slow to start but not really bad in my opinion. Overall, I’ve been so happy with my machine after using it at least twice a day for the last month. It took me about a week to get the hang of it, and lots of research to dial in the right dose and ratio. Now I have the smoothest and most exquisite coffee. Better than going to any franchise in my humble opinion.

Breville's Barista Express redefines home coffee with its integrated grinder and milk frother. Easy to use, it delivers consistent, barista-quality espresso. A must-have for coffee lovers.

Honestly a huge step up in overall life quality. Pretty easy to use and makes amazing lattes. A little loud so might be problematic if you have shared walls in your kitchen.

Awesome machine right out of the box. The grinder is very high quality and is easy to adjust to get the perfect shot. Takes a couple tries to get the grind just right but is very simple. The machine is very straight forward and user friendly and looks amazing sitting on the counter top. Been a huge espresso drinker for years and this is the best machine I’ve used.

Had this item for a year. Finally invested and if you are considering that big espresso maker buy ... It's so worth it. That said, after one year the frother started spitting out of the espresso function and I had to exchange it. Buy the warranty. Otherwise works great!

I bought this one because it had high review rates. The machine is well built. The quality of the espresso it produces is good. The price is fair. However, I found difficult to consistently achieve the good results. I am sure with time and practice I could end up mastering the setup. But at this point I am looking for simplicity. I returned it and picked up the automated more expensive model which was on sale and greatly discounted. I am very satisfied with the exchange. If one enjoys preparing custom recipes, this machine May be a great option. Not for me, though.

Amazing product. I use it every day and have not had any issues with it breaking. Takes a bit of fidgeting at first to get it to work the way you want it to but that’s part of espresso making.

Well, I have not written a review in a long time but I wanted to take the opportunity to write it this time because I am loving the Breville Barista Express: - Yes, it was a learning curve to understand the different variables to get an excellent Espresso, but once you learn how to do it, every cup of coffee is perfect! - This Machine is NOT for Coffee consumers that do not appreciate a good cup of coffee or if you are not willing to put the time on it. Meaning that it really is an art. - It took me around 2 weeks to get it right and understand the “Pressure”, “Tapping”, Coffee Grinding, etc… But today I love the process. I highly recommend this Espresso Machine, coffee is delicicious and the process, once you get it down, is simple. Hope this helps at least one person. = )

We love everything about this expresso machine. From the easy set up to the delicious expresso. It feels like i am at starbucks but at home.
