Customer Ratings & Reviews

Never thought that a product could improve my mornings so significantly. Easy to use, easy to clean, and makes great espresso. If you are thinking about or have purchased: A good starter coffee is: Lavazza crema e aroma Also, consider buying a tamper, the one that comes with the machine does a descent job but a heavier one off amazon helps create more consistent pulls of espresso.

Love my machine so much!! It does take research and trial and error to learn how to use it but once you learn, it’s great!

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!

Never been a coffee person, bought it for my wife, but have slowly been using it for myself more and more. Wonderful machine

Works as designed and brews an excellent espresso.

Great my wife loves it, its like having your own barista at the house. Saving money on pods

I was new to home espresso brewing when I purchased my Breville barista express machine. I was impressed by the fact that both of my adult children had already shared their positive experiences with the same unit. It’s simple to operate with just the right amount of options to make your own espresso creation. Single or double shots can be easily accomplished with freshly ground beans straight from the machine’s built in grinder. Set your desired level of fineness of grind by the roll of a dial.

Excellent product. Pressing the power button, starting on the grinder, and making my morning espresso is super easy. The built-in grinder makes life so much simpler. I highly recommend it to the professional who must wake up and go in the morning.

It makes a good shot of espresso! I've had many of these, what I call "fancy coffee" machines. I paid more for some, less for others. I used to move often and it seemed every move, my fancy coffee machine would break and start leaking inside (probably due to freezing). Well, now I'm settled permanently (I hope), so here I go again. This machine is still pretty new to me, and although I like the quick convenience of a "pod" type coffee maker, when I can devote a few minutes to crafting a really premium coffee beverage, this machine delivers. The pros: looks nice, fairly sturdy build quality with lots of metal, heats up pretty quickly, recovers quickly between shots, really nice heavy high quality porta-filter, contains a VERY, VERY nice grinder that is precise and consistent as well as compatible with bean hoppers from Breville's stand alone top-of-the-line grinders, handy inside filter storage and magnetic tamper storage, single and double wall filters supplied, nice ball-jointed frothing wand, but best of all this machine is VERY customizable. Single and double-shot volume is adjustable, grind size and volume have lots of adjustment range (also manual volume control by holding the porta-filter in), brew temperature can be customized over a range of several degrees, and bean hoppers can be unlocked and removed (swapped) with beans still inside. The frother works fine but I usually use a separate induction type frother. The cons (all very minor): It's a little messy. It spits a little when brewing. To dispense a full dose into the porta-filter at my preferred grind setting (3), there's some spill-over, even if I shake the handle a bit during the grind. I don't think this can be avoided in anything other than a super-automatic machine and I hate cleaning those things. I deal with this by reducing the grind volume by half, tamping it down, then grinding in the other half. The porta-filter comes with a dual-outlet nozzle, but I never brew into two cups. Sometimes I want to brew into a very small cup, but the dual nozzles won't both hit it. If you unscrew and remove the dual nozzle, the porta-filter won't sit flat and level on its own while tamping. This is a minor annoyance. It doesn't have provision for a direct plumbed water supply (I know that's a big ask, but it's what I want). Overall: I love this machine. When I'm not using it, it sits there looking nice. When I use it, I realize how good coffee can be. I hope it long outlasts its warranty.

Very stylish.easy to operate and clean. The coffee taste is really good

This espresso machine is terrific. Heavy duty, makes super drinks. It makes others pale in comparison.

This is a great product! We use it every day for some cappuccinos and everyone at Best Buy was extremely helpful!

Took awhile to get used to and dial in but the espresso has been amazing. Got this on sale during Black Friday and I’m extremely please. I make about 5 double shots a week and the machine itself is almost paid off. When getting setup, don’t worry about the timing as much. Try to dial in the coarseness and pay attention to the stream of the espresso

This item was purchased as a Christmas gift for my sister and my brother-in-law, and they absolutely loved it! 10/10 recommend!

It takes a little more time to learn but is worth the effort the espresso is restaurant quality.

This coffee maker is spectacular. It doesn't make noise and the coffee comes out super delicious. Perfect for when you have company and you don't want to waste the coffee because it makes 1 to 2 cups.

This is the best machine ever! I can now make my own special brewed coffee and not have to pay $5-$7 per cup. Best EVER! Highly recommend!

I am enjoying my new Breville Barista Express. Setup was not difficult and it allows me to brew great tasting espresso in minutes. I should have purchased this years (and hundreds of dollars at Starbucks) ago.

Easy to use, and makes great espresso. We've had ours for just over 2 years now and have had no issues with some fairly heavy regular use. Just recently it has started to show signs that it might be wearing out. I would buy again at the current price point with as well as it has held up.

Very Good Option to have it on you home, Good Quality and performance, go for it!
