Customer Ratings & Reviews

Good product, however requires too much maintenance and time. Hard to clean. Need special coffee beans. Cant get expresso pressure to be within range.

I love my little machine. Been using it for a few months. No more latte coffee runs. And now I get family visitors just for a cup of coffee. It helps to watch videos if you’re a first timer. Especially on how to keep it clean. I make hot drinks and my daughters make iced!

Love it. Easy to set up and use. I must have had three double shots the first day.

This machine is great. Coffee always tastes wonderful and it’s fairly easy to use. We use this as our secondary only because we are lazy and this one take longer.

Beautiful product works great, easy to clean and maintain

The Breville Barista Express Espresso Machine is a well-rounded option for those serious about making high-quality espresso at home. Its combination of features, build quality, and customizable options makes it a strong contender in its price range. However, potential buyers should be prepared for a learning curve and consider the space and noise factors before making a purchase. Overall, it's a solid investment for coffee enthusiasts who value control and quality in their brewing process.

This makes some of the best fresh ground coffee. I've had it for a month now and coffee has never tasted better! I like espresso on occasion but use this for coffee mostly. Watch videos on how to use it and that will help you get started fast. If you currently use K-Cups, this will save you money over time as you just use whole coffee beans.

This is my 2nd machine within 2 years. The 1st i bought with warranty. Warranty almost expired when i noticed it was taking longer to warm the milk. Took back to Best Buy and got a full refund and used the refund to buy another. Best Buy customer service at Gilbert, AZ is excellent. This machine seems to have been improved over the last 1. My girlfriend noticed, too. Does a great job grinding the beans, extracting coffee, and frothing milk.

I love it best thing ever! I’m an old employee for Dutch bros coffee and I will say this little thing has helped me curb going to other places for coffee since I don’t get it free any more. highly recommend :)

Makes excellent coffee for people who want their coffee made right but don't have time to research ten million options. If you have more money, than you have time, and you enjoy a good cup of coffee and quality... get this thing. It is basic, and classic too... really no frills when you think about it or compare it to the k-cups, pods, etc. This is fresh beans, ground up and brewed into espresso. That's it.

I was going to Starbucks everyweek on my days off! I wouldn't just order for myself but for family as well! Obviously this was getting expensive and It was a hit or miss if with the consistency of the coffee at Starbucks. I purchased a simpler 150$ espresso machine and was very happy but the level of control or ease (especially with the built in grinder) wasn't there. I decided to upgrade to The Barista Express. Honestly this was one of the best purchases I have ever made. I actually enjoy the coffee I make more than I do from Starbucks. Its definitively an investment but you will not regret it. There are some start up cost such as towels and a puck bucket but looks up this product on Amazon and look at the top review to get a good idea of what you will need. The post goes into much more detail. I bought mine from BestBuy because I love their return policy with the warranty you purchase with them.

So this is an amazing machine, the trick is you have to learn how to use it from a pro. My brother came over and spent 3 full hours to test and do coffee runs, and finally we nailed it. The trick is you have to get the grind correct, the pressure, and temperature. We discovered that running the machine 20 minutes before starting to use is what you do to make the machine come up to temp, then running the steamer before and after every use makes your water temp reach the max. Also make sure to weigh the coffee with a scale for each use to know the exact measurements. So the bottom line it’s a science to get it just right with the perfect taste, so if you are that person that looks for perfection and you have patience, then this is for you. If you are a person who drinks drip coffee from a Mr coffee machine, then this is not for you!

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.

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

Excellent! Don't get hung up on bar rating. This espresso maker is the best I've owned. The bar rating is a marketing trick to make lower quality machines apoear better. They are not. This machine makes perfect espressos. I wish I bought thiis first instead of wasting mobey on the three cheaper machines I bought. None of them lasted more than one year.

I knew I wanted this machine from the day I first saw it. It takes a little patience to learn and master, but the process is very rewarding. The built in grinder and milk frother allowed me to simplify my coffee equipment to one machine. Highly recommend this to anyone who loves coffeehouse drinks and has the desire to learn the craft.

I honestly thought this was something we would like but that it would likely just sit on our counter and look pretty. We literally threw our coffee brewer away and use this exclusively. Every single morning. Super easy to use and makes the best coffee. Every time people come over, they are super impressed and always ask for a coffee or latte. So glad we bought this!

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

Works great! Got it stationed and set for every morning coffee, I just hope it would be durable for many years to come
