Customer Ratings & Reviews

Great machine! Easy to use and makes great espresso drinks! The machine comes with all of the accessories you need. This is our second Breville. The first one served us well for many years but some of the o rings failed after extensive use and we chose not to try to repair it.

I love this espresso machine. I was easily able to adjust the grinder; internal and external adjustment. I often pull great shots of espresso as a novice espresso machine user. The steam wand does a great job, but sometimes the steam shuts off while I'm trying to use it. It seems like the compressor stops for some reason. This happens when I switch between purging the water within the steam wand, switching the steam to off, switching the steam back on and putting the wand into the cup.

Machine is very user friendly, but I am shooting myself in the foot for not purchasing the dual boiler machine instead. The steam wand is very good, but tend to be a bit slow. The espresso quality is fantastic if you use fresh beans. The water reservoir is a bit small. The machine is very compact, relatively quiet and stays very cool compared to competitors.

I had diferente espresso machines brands before and after some time using it the machine just gave out. I am very happy with this one and it’s been working great and I brew twice a day, had friends over one day and they loved the taste of the coffee that this machine can brew. I am not gonna lie but there’s some tricks to brew the “perfect” coffee, a couple of adjustments here and there but it’s well worth it. I am still learning how to froth the milk so I can start doing some latte art ;).

I’ve been extremely satisfied with this machine, only had it a month, but it’s made a lot of espresso thus far. The learning curve is fairly simple. It’ll pay for itself in no time, finally happy with espresso at home!

Love it! It is a perfect one for those coffee lovers that are looking to amp up their coffee experience and actually learn to be baristas. It is not a toy, is a real one!

This is very good espresso machine and my recommendation for it. It is very easy to make coffees and this machine makes very tasty coffee.

After years of wasted coffee, I finally decided to get my husband this machine for his birthday. Man we love it. Super simple to use once you get your find amount down and how fine it needs to be you are food to go and make your own espresso in the morning. We will never go back to traditional coffee pots. This is so much better I’m saving money on not buying creamer or throwing out cold not drank coffee I’m the morning. It taste amazing and I’m so happy with this purchase. I’m not barista I watched a lot of YouTube videos to help me out in milk frothing and using the machine, still have a lot to learn. But overall I’m way satisfied with this purchase.

Delivery was quick, great service. Highly recommend this espresso machine! Coffee is amazing! Never buying coffee again

Amazing product that surpasses expected quality. I use this literally everyday due to its ease of use, how quick it is, and how good freshly grounded coffee taste

This expresso machine is easy to use, easy to clean with everything you need to make really good coffee drinks. We really enjoy it.

It is a bit expensive, not something you'd dive into without thinking about it for a bit, but we're very glad we did: it works flawlessly, it's simple to use once you get the hang of what's what, and it just chugs along without issues. The coffee is delicious, being able to grind it right there is incredibly convenient, and it just works great. I'd definitely recommend it to anyone tired of having to go to the coffee shop for your fix. It pays for itself in no time.

Great starter machine, comes with everything you need. I was concerned I wouldn’t use it enough but now it’s a daily use for me that will very quickly pay for itself.

We’ve had ours for over a year but have been a bit disappointed at our brews. Then we saw a YouTube video saying how you need to adjust the preset internal conical burrs from 6 to 3 for a finer grind. Now our brews are way tastier.

Purchased on sale, does everything I'd want a machine to do at home.

Love this machine!! My daily go to. I would recommend this machine to everyone

This product is awesome. Using it daily and learning how to perfect my drinks.

I got this while it was on sale. Great machine and saves money compared to buying lattes daily!

So far this machine has been great and created excellent brews. The built-in grinder is amazing for us, and the ability to tailor the grind size and amount, combined with monitoring the pressure gauge, allows for keeping an eye on and refining the quality of your espresso. The steam wand has very good range of motion and is easy to use. It's also easy to switch between single and double shots with the included capsules. Also it's been easy to clean. We haven't had the need to program it but I think it's a nice feature.

For a single machine that grinds, brews espresso and froths milk all in one, the Breville Barista Express is a top pick, especially when you can find it at Best Buy with strong reviews and reliable return & price match options
