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.

Best Espresso machine that I have owned, at least for the value and ease of use. Quick and easy to clean and descale. Grinder works very well, once you get the setting that you like. You will have to experiment at first, but once you get it, its just fine.

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!

It’s amazing but I did have to see some tik tok videos to figure out how to make the perfect espresso. But once you do it comes out great
Easy to use as long as you really try to understand it

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.

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.

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.

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.

As an avid Starbucks junkie, I was looking for a way to avoid driving to get a good latte or mocha. After reading a ton of reviews of different espresso machines, I chose this one. Paid around $550 for it. The machine is easy to use. Definitely read the instructions first, but it makes an amazing espresso! Comes with grinder, can make one or two shots at once, built in frother that’s easy to use, and only takes a few minutes to make a great drink.

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.

I have owned this espresso machine for nearly a year and I still love it.
Literally every day I am able to pull consistent shots of espresso and drink them at their peak freshness. I am able to grind beans and control everything until I find the perfect balance for the beans I am using at the time.
I have had zero issues with quality or maintenance and this machine is probably the best thing I bought for myself back in 2018.
If you love espresso but aren't a jerk about it, this machine will literally suit all of your needs and the price is fair for everything that you're getting.... Sure there are more advanced or fully automatic machines out there but don't get caught up in those other bells and whistles.... Really think about what your personal espresso habits and needs are and then you will find that this machine can really do it all!
Another thing that I really enjoy (that I hadn't previously considered prior to owning) is how convenient it is to have access to boiling hot water pretty much instantly. I use the hot water for obvious things like tea, but I also use it when I need boiling water for pastas and other cooking and it has made everything so much easier and faster.
Even when you have to clean the machine, the directions are very clear, make sense and it's super easy to do.
This machine is super dear to my heart and I love everything about it....If you are considering it, I would say just straight up buy it. #treatyoself #youdeserveit

I love this expresso machine. It produces an excellent tasting expresso. The correct pressure of the extraction can be controlled by how fine the bean grind, and also how hard I pack the ground beans. In other words, I am able to make the perfect expresso.
The frother works very well also.
This is my second purchase of this model. The first one lasted about 5 years until the pump began to fail. But that was after thousands of expressos...
This is not a fully automatic machine in that you have to pack and then discard the puck. But I prefer it that way as I have much more control and can generally make a stronger expresso than with a fully automatic machine.
Also this machine is vary attrctive on the countertop.

What a great machine for the price! this is easy to use, fun to use, and very high quality. I am a former barista (20+ years ago) and this produces high quality drinks. I am not being paid for this - I am a teacher. I just thought people would like to know to help them decide.

I recently bought the Breville Barista Express Espresso Machine, and it has completely transformed my morning routine. The integrated grinder is a lifesaver, giving me the freshest grounds for a robust flavor every time. With 15 bars of pressure, every espresso shot is perfectly extracted, rich and creamy.
The milk frother? Just wow! It whips up silky smooth froth for my lattes and cappuccinos that rivals any coffee shop. If you’re a coffee enthusiast looking to elevate your home barista skills, this machine is a game changer. Highly recommend!

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.
