Customer Ratings & Reviews

Love this barista espresso machine . It’s perfect for making lattes and espresso . Anything that you could make at a coffee house.

Works as intended, just like a commercial espresso machine at a coffee shop coming from a previous barista I would highly recommend.

Rating: 4.5 out of 5 stars After months of contemplating and comparing various espresso machines, I finally decided to invest in the Barista Express Espresso Machine. And I must say, it has exceeded my expectations. Build and Design (5/5): The machine's stainless steel finish not only gives it a sleek, professional look but also ensures durability. It's a bit bulky, so you might need a good amount of counter space, but it's definitely worth it. Performance (4.5/5): With 15 bars of pressure, the machine consistently delivers a rich and flavorful espresso shot. The integrated grinder is a game-changer. It grinds the beans fresh for every cup, making a noticeable difference in taste. The grinder settings are adjustable, so it took me a few tries to find the perfect grind size for my taste, but once dialed in, it's been consistently great. Milk Frother (4/5): The milk frother is powerful and easy to use. It produces a smooth and creamy froth, perfect for lattes and cappuccinos. However, it does require some practice to get the technique right, especially if you're aiming for latte art. Ease of Use (4/5): For someone new to espresso making, there's a bit of a learning curve. The machine comes with a detailed manual, and there are plenty of online tutorials available. Once you get the hang of it, it's pretty straightforward. Cleanup (4/5): Cleaning is relatively easy, but it's important to do it regularly to maintain the machine's performance and lifespan. The removable parts are dishwasher safe, which is a plus. Value for Money (5/5): Considering the features - integrated grinder, quality of espresso, milk frother - the price is justified. It's an investment for true coffee enthusiasts. Overall (4.5/5): The Barista Express Espresso Machine is a fantastic choice for anyone looking to upgrade their home coffee experience. It's a bit of an investment, but for the quality of coffee it produces, it's worth every penny. Highly recommended for anyone who loves a great cup of coffee and enjoys the process of making it.

Works great, easy to dial in and use! Also love the QR code on box that leads to the Bilt app that shows how to set up, clean and use.

I was visiting Starbucks a lot more than I would’ve wanted, so I decided to invest in this some-what beginner Breville machine. Learning how to freshly grind espresso beans to the “right” consistency does take a bit of time. I would recommend using a cheaper bean to start since you’ll be throwing away a lot of it during the set up process. I was initially intimated by the up-keep and clean-up but it is not bad at all. The steamer wand is very efficient, but it does take some time to get use to! Overall, it’s expensive, but I think it is absolutely worth it. Keep in mind, it is fairly loud and isn’t the best solution for a quick morning coffee if you live in a house full of people!

if you’re looking for an affordable (compared to other high quality coffee makers), this is an all-in-one machine you’re looking for. The only thing worth considering when buying is that if you wanna make your coffee in the morning when others are sleeping, this is not for you. While the sound it makes is less than many other machines, it’s still pretty loud.

The coffee comes out exquisite, with great flavor and creamy, it's excellent. I no longer buy coffee from outside; the coffee I make at home tastes a thousand times better. Thank you, Breville!

This machine is now a kitchen staple--I use it EVERY day and love it. Cleaning is easy and the features are just what I need. The integrated grinder removes guesswork. I am including a photo of what it looks like with the drip tray pulled out so you can see how handy the storage compartment is and how the drip tray is nicely designed. The little "Empty Me" tab pops up if you need to dump the tray.

It’s very therapeutic to work for my coffee a little. Going up from a Keurig this is a huge jump but also a massive jump in quality. I haven't gotten into modifying the machine but learning about the process is pretty invigorating

I’ve owned many espresso machines in my lifetime, from fully manual to superautomatic; this is the first machine I’ve owned that truly makes a cafe-quality cappuccino. I followed all of the instructions for first-time use, including using the recommended first-time grind and dose settings (except I did set the grind to 4 instead of 5) and it came out perfect. I didn’t think to take a photo of the espresso shot, which had great crema and a nice dark color, but I did include a photo of the post-brew “hockey puck”, which is a sign of really good extraction. But what really surprised me was how good the steamer is. At first it sounded a little weak, but I ended up with the kind of microfoam that you typically struggle to get with most home machines. The end result exceeded my expectations. The 18-month interest-free Best Buy financing was just the icing on the cake. I highly recommend this machine…and I also highly recommend that if you do buy it you should read ALL the instructions even if you are experienced with other espresso machines.

This is great for all coffee lovers. Ita an investment, but it has virtually eliminated my trips to buy coffee. I can make peetty much everything I was buying at home. I definitely recommend watching YouTube videos prior to using to get used to it, but the info cards were really helpful to start with. I would recommend this for any coffee lover.

Great espresso machine, saved so much money by making my own espressos at home.

This product has been making outstanding espresso coffee, latte, cappuccinos, etc. When you try it once no other coffee will taste the same. Product is easy to use but you will need to get some practice in order to make a prefect coffee cup. -the system is all manual so you will need to steam milk, grind coffee and press the grinder coffee. Sounds a lot to do but which practice will only take 3min to have a perfect coffee -when you use the coffee maker make sure to descale, and clean frequently to avoid the calcium buildup

Been wanting to get this espresso machine for so long and I finally did it. I no longer buy coffee from outside cause nothing even compares to how good of an espresso this makes It is worth the hype!!

We are Starbucks addicts...as in go every day of the year. This machine is fun and easy to use and makes delicious espresso. It is going to save us so much money. The grinder can make a bit of a mess and it took us way too many times to calibrate the grind and volume but once we figured it out, we were thrilled! We make 6 shots a day. The machine is easy to clean and use even for a novice.

Literally the best decision I ever made was buying this espresso machine. It makes the best tasting espresso and it’s so easy to use! I’ll never go back to Starbucks again.

I have been heavily into coffee for years now and have always wanted an espresso machine. Finally got this one a few months back, and I have been using it every single day. My best lattes taste even better than the local coffee shops nearby. The steam wand is quite difficult to be consistent with, especially when trying to do latte art. But after a few months have gone by, I can now make great latte art nearly every time. Great machine to get if you're wanting to explore espresso. Get the Pro model if you wish to have a better steam wand experience.

Great build quality, bad consistency without extra prep. Not the best choice for lazy people. To my lazy folks - look into a nespresso pod. This machine will make a great coffee if you invest additional $100+ in tools and learn proper preparation. Overall the nicest in it's price range.

This product works great! Still getting the hang of it but very user friendly!

Works great for coffee lovers!! Definitely recommend.
