Customer Ratings & Reviews

So far its fairly simple to use and my wife loves that it takes just like any coffee shop! For the price its a very good machine!

It took a bit of a learning curve, but the espresso is great!

It took me time to get used to it. Honestly it’s so worth it.

My husband knows I love espresso and talked me into getting this machine as my very first espresso maker. I was extremely hesitant because when you haven't used something like this before it's extremely intimidating. However, I actually watched some youtube videos and followed the quick start instructions with no problems. I love it and make espresso shots and drinks with it daily. It's an expensive initial purchase but it's absolutely worth it if you're an espresso lover.

Had to do trial and error to dial the right pressure, amount of coffee, and I did a lot of changes with the inner burr as well. The ideal is #4 for inner burr and #7 for the outer adjustment, but it really depends on your beans. There are a lot of tutorials on tiktok and youtube on how to do it :) all in all the machine works great

It's lije having your personal coffee shop at home. Love it!

Excellent coffee machine, make my days so happy with my espresso, coffee machine

The Barista Express makes café-quality espresso right at home. The built-in grinder is super convenient, and the milk frother works great for lattes and cappuccinos. It takes a little practice to dial in your grind and shot, but once you get it, the results are fantastic. Worth every penny!

Being someone who drives a bit to get to and from work, plus kids' events, etc, Starbucks coffee was an easy, yet expensive way to go. We looked at what we spent on that decided if this was as good as we heard, it'll pay for itself. This has not only replaced Starbucks, but we no longer use our Keurig or our coffee maker. This is so simple to use, yet makes better tasting espresso, whether that be a latte, straight espresso, Americano, etc. This was an excellent purcahse for us.

Easy to use and makes the perfect foam , easy to clean.

Wonderful, easy to use. I have coveted this machines and finally bought one when my old Breville Modena dies after a steady 15 year run. This is an easy to use machine that makes a great espresso

This was a great addition to my kitchen and daily life. So easy to use and very little to clean. I look forward to my delicious americano drink every morning. Everyone in my family also enjoys the process of making it. It is very fun to be able to make a professional cup of coffee in your own kitchen whenever you want it!

Wife loves it!!! Really good deal fast shipping...

We got this during Black Friday and it's been a work horse ever since. My wife and I use this machine several times a day (that's probably not that great for us), but we just cant have enough of lattes and cappuccinos now. We are still learning how to do latte art, but for the essential matters which is to make a double espresso and froth the milk for it, I'd say it's easy to learn and it tastes great.

MUST HAVE FOR COFFEE SNOBS! LOL Okay, bad way to start, but this unit has already paid itself off by eliminating the need to go to starbucks and the coffee is 1000x better. I can't say I've had much user for the frother (I usually just make espresso and americanos) but the unit has been solid, easy to clean, and issue free.

This turned out to be a great gift for my wife. She’s enjoying learning about all of the features this machine has. It’s taking practice to truly get it down, but she’s loving the process.

Pulls great shots of Espresso and that is really the reason I purchased it. My wife however likes drinks requiring the use of the steam wand and although it works Ok it takes some getting use to. It doesn't provide a great amount of steam and you have to play around with the dial a little bit before you can adequately produce enough for a single serve beverage. But for a shot of Espresso its great

Bought this for our office kitchen, and it has become the new 'watercooler' where people hang out and chat. We have a couple of people who have these at home, so the rest of us are learning to ditch the Keurig and have a new appreciation for good coffee beverages. The grinder is amazingly quiet, and the overall process is quick and simple. Love it so far.

Great machine my daughter has a coffee shop and loves it

I was so hesitant to pull the trigger on this one because of the price, but so glad I did. Breville has not let me down with any of their products I have purchased so far - smart oven, juicer, espresso machine. I had some difficulty getting the pressure up on my initial espresso pull, and though I was going to need to send the unit back. I called Breville customer service and the reps there are super knowledgeable. They don't go into it much in the guide, but depending on the type of whole bean you are grinding, you may need to change from the single wall filter to the dual wall filter. As soon as I made the change, the pressure gauge was exactly where it needed to be. I've had the unit for about 2 months now, and the only downside is I'm blowing through Americanos and probably slightly over-caffeinated... but saving me tons of $$ from the local brew house.
