Certainly not for the novice; takes some practice.

For 600 dollars you’d expect a product to last longer. A year and a half is how long it lasted until the grinder locked up. Great while it lasted. If you purchase this espresso machine be sure and get the extended warranty.

I purchased the espresso machine about 2 months ago. I really liked the machine but for some reason the grinder button just stop working. I hope my warranty will cover that.

Only had it for 2 years and I had so many issues! I've tried EVERYTHING. If I could go back I would just say stick to bustelo instant coffee instead. So expensive and difficult to get a perfect or decent shot of Expresso. ABSOLUTELY NOT WORTH IT!

Frustrating

We tried several varying grinds and never go the gauge to hit the correct pressure. After barely two months, with the pressure gauge fluctuating each time, the gauge stopped working altogether. Would not recommend this machine.
Please run the following pressure test. Put the 1 cup dual wall filter into the portafilter. Next, put the cleaning disc into the filter. If your cleaning disc has a hole in the middle, please wrap it with a bit of plastic-wrap before putting it in the filter. Lock the portafilter into the group head. Press the 2 cup button. The gauge will eventually rise to the 9-bar (11:00) position or higher.
If the gauge moves, the issue isn't the machine, but the shot prep. Whether the gauge moves or not, we'll be happy to help you.

Bought it as a gift for my girlfriend and she wasn’t impressed after wanting it for over a year. She says the coffee she makes by hand is just as good therefore nothing special about the machine

Limited on what it can do for the amount of money.

you get everything you need in a compact machine, but the parts are fragile. The water tank broke done when I was lifting the handle as instructed by the user manuel. It is connected by some small plastic parts that broke up easily.

Very difficult to set up to the proper level, if you have enough patience than this is for you, also I found the machine at half price and they could not price match it so had to return it so I could get it at the lowered price

I have exchanged this item twice, third time was a charm. Though, I have a hard time keeping the shots pulling correctly - it tends to have a lot of creme in the espresso shots. Could be user error, but it works ok for me.

I’ve been loving my Breville Barista but today while steaming milk the plastic heat shelf broke. I’m so disappointed. I’ve only lightly used it, as I live alone, since purchasing in September. It also makes a constant ticking noise, which I’ve heard is an indication that a toggle sensor is failing.
I’ve taken such delicate care of the machine, that I just can’t believe it’s already failing.
For or the cost, I expected so much more.

I’m disappointed about the milk frosting part. There is little to almost no foam comes up when I frost the milk for my cappuccino. I have tried all different kinds of milk and followed all instructions. This item is way overpriced.

The Breville Barista Express has been part of our family since June 2020, and it’s still going strong! For a household of coffee enthusiasts with four children to keep us on our toes, this machine has become an essential part of our daily lives. From early morning wake-ups to late-night projects, it has consistently delivered café-quality coffee right in our kitchen.
The integrated grinder ensures our beans are always fresh, filling our home with that irresistible aroma every morning. The 15-bar pressure creates rich, creamy espresso shots that rival any coffee shop. And the milk frother? It’s a favorite for making silky lattes and cappuccinos that the whole family enjoys—even the kids love helping make frothy hot chocolates!
Beyond the incredible coffee, this machine has brought us moments of connection. It’s where sleepy parents start their day together and where we share laughs over afternoon coffee breaks. Despite daily use, it has held up beautifully, a testament to Breville’s quality. Cleaning is simple, and maintenance is a breeze—perfect for our busy household.
If you’re a coffee-loving family looking for a reliable, high-quality machine that will stand the test of time, the Breville Barista Express is worth every penny. It’s not just a coffee maker—it’s a memory maker.
