Customer Ratings & Reviews

We love our Breville Barista Express! It has all the functions that allow us to make great coffee from the comfort of our home!

By far the best espresso machine. Easy to use and taste is amazing!

We were looking for an espresso machine, and this was the go to model. Easy to use for first time making espressos very intuitive. Mostly make iced drinks but looking forward to learning how to make more things! Saves us from so many coffee shop visits!

This machine is an incredible combo. The grinder is excellent and allows for precise grind adjustments. And it either dispenses a pre-measured amount or a manually controlled amount. The steamer works great. Hot water dispenser is just as I would expect. And most importantly, the espresso maker delivers delicious shots. Quality of all parts is excellent. It's an attractive appliance that fits well into my kitchen. My only concern is the knob that switches between steam and hot water takes some effort to move and I won't be surprised if it fails over time. But over one month of daily use, I'm extremely satisfied with this purchase.

Good once you dial it in and know how to use it. Recommend

It makes a really good strong expresso coffee. Still learning how to use it but great so far

Awesome espresso machine. This is my second one. We have hard water in our area so if your like us, use the descaler as recommended and cleaning tabs. Easy to use: makes delicious espresso

Gave this as a gift and now they make me awesome coffee. Would buy one for myself, but why since they make me awesome coffee with it. Great product.

My ROI keeps growing with the purchase of this machine. This expresso machine essentially put Starbucks out of business in my household!

Once I got this "dialed in" (and it took some work/play) I've been pulling some amazing, super flavorful shots of espresso. And making some really great lattes, and mochas and... I guess you get the point. But don't buy this expecting to pull it out of the box and make a perfect shot on the first pull. You have to tune your grind level, your amount of coffee ground in to the portafilter, how long you let it go... There's a lot of great stuff on YouTube for this specific model in terms of how to pull the best shot, and with a little practice, I have at least one or two great doubleshots every morning.

I have been buying espresso drinks for decades and it got to the point where getting a properly made drink from the major coffee bars was a crap shoot. The final straw was being charged an extra $1.75 for oat milk and 50 cents for a spritz of whipped cream from my local cafes. I then went on a search for my own espresso machine and my research led me to this one. I could not be happier. I read the manual and within a few minutes I was making high quality espresso with a rich crema. It does not have a double boiler, so you can’t make espresso and steam milk simultaneously (but how many people really do that?). But when switched to steam, it works great. It is a high quality, uncomplicated machine which I couldn’t recommend more.

A little louder than I expected but easy to learn. Seems to need to be precise when it comes to qty and ground size but once that is figured out not much to it. Makes a great espreso

This is sooo great and worth it!! If you love lattes and cappuccino and always drink coffee out, this will save you tons in the long run. Makes great coffee and very easy to use! Would recommend!

Bought this for my wife this Christmas. She was a barista many moons ago and loves using it. The only downfall is our caffeine addiction has gone through the roof. I could barely type this review I am shaking so bad. Kinda like a Chihuahua. If you are thinking of getting one just put it in the cart and go. You won't be disappointed. No I am not being paid by Best Buy to say this, but if the CEO sees this I am open to the idea ;)

Have been using this for a few weeks. Love it! Does a great job. My daughter who goes to Starbucks, says, my expresso is better! Easy to use.

[Employee of bestbuy] Keeping this part short, I have no idea what I am doing when it comes to making espresso. But all I had to do was watch a quick YouTube video on setting it up, and next thing I knew I was pouring shots. Of course also depends on what beans you buy, and if you prepare the coffee puck properly, but this machine really helps create some phenomenal espresso. Especially for someone that is coming from instant coffee and Starbucks. It is a big difference.

The machine is great, it just takes a little bit of time. But the coffee tastes fantastic.

I purchased a $100 espresso machine from Costco and used it every day, often several times a day. It broke within two months. Realizing that we needed a heavy duty machine, I did a better job of researching the next purchase. It was difficult to cough up $800 bucks for this machine, but I wanted something that was going to last and deliver an excellent coffee consistently even with heavy use. I paid an extra $70 for the two year warranty, which I honestly am unsure of. Apparently it runs consecutively with the manufacturers warranty, so you are really paying $70 for one extra year. However, I want to make sure that if it breaks, I'll be able to get another machine, or get my money back. The coffee is awesome! Starbucks can't hold a candle to it!

My breville is the key component to my daily morning routine! I love it. Makes a perfect midday decaf latte pick me up as well!

After tons of research, and comparing price to functionality, this Breville won the race, I have had a Saeco Super-Automatic ($1500). It lasted for 4 years before dying and cleaning it was a nightmare, The extra expense to pull a shot of espresso, verses loading your own and pulling it does not seem to justify the high price of the Super Automatics. I have had this machine for 2 weeks and love it! The quality of the machine, the attention to detail, and easy cleanup puts this device on the top of my best purchases. I have made cappuccinos, flat whites, lungos, chocolate caramel lattes, At least 4 Americanos daily... Check out Seattle Coffee Gear's YouTube review on this product - They helped me decide.
