Customer Ratings & Reviews

This machine is easy to use and makes coffeehouse-level lattes, espressos and americanos.....instead of spending $5 each time you hit starbucks, just save it up and buy this machine. Pros: has a pressure meter. Easy to clean. Large reservoir. Very solid construction.Built-in grinder is convenient Cons: quite noisy.

Quality is so high and it’s easy to use, I would love to buy again

Great machine!! We had to return the first one but with our protection plan, it was promptly replaced. This machine makes a great cup of coffee!!

I was looking for an upgrade on a home espresso machine that made drinks like at coffee shop and this here is an excellent machine for that! Totally a money saver on the long run and i can make my drinks how i like them in minutes! Super convenient and easy to use.

Got a good deal and works great. Just took some time to tweak the settings but easy once that is done. Would buy again.

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.

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.

I finally bought this for myself and it is the best investment! I have saved so much money with this breville. Difficult to dial in at first, but once you learn how the different grinders work it makes good espresso. You will need to buy an espresso scale to use this

I love it. It worked for me. We now love making coffee every morning

Fantastic espresso machine. You get your grinder (with adjustable dosage, and two dials to change the coarseness - the second adjustment is directly inside the grinder), pump, steam wand, hot water spout and a nice tamper all in one machine!

Very nice espresso machine. Slick look, space saver and pretty straight forward use. Very easy to use and clean. You just need practice setting your grinder preference, feed amount, and milk steam. Once you get it, it’s the best coffee ever. Truly.

This espresso machine is superb considering its price point and the features it delivers. It produces exquisite coffee and it is very easy to manage and also easy to clean. Furthermore it gives your kitchen a very elegant touch and it looks very beautiful.

This machine is worth it. It is my first espresso machine and it didn’t take very long to figure out the grinder or how to pull a shot. It’s easy to keep clean and maintain using the instructions provide by Breville. I love making my lattes at home and I think they taste better then going to a cafe. It comes with everything you need to get started. I don’t think it’s that loud consider what it is doing and it only takes a few minutes to grind and pull a shot.

This machine was the best investment I’ve ever made. The directions are straight forward and the machine is very easy to use. Every morning when you take your time to make a beautiful latte you truly begin to appreciate the art in coffee making. Coming from an ex barista, this tastes exactly like what you buy at a coffee shop. So worth it!

I first encountered this device while staying with friends in the Bay area. I knew I was hooked, and I resisted purchasing for three weeks after returning home - not exactly deferred gratification. But as with other Breville products that I have, this machine is quite wonderful and thoughtfully engineered. Granted, it takes some practice to get it right, and one does have to "fuss" like a barista with the preparation, however I find it fun, and I am totally in to it knowing the superb result that awaits me. Up until this purchase, I had been using a Nespresso machine, however, I just do not like their coffee: like Starbucks I find it too bitter. The availability of having fresh ground coffee, the ability to use beans of my choice, the steamer wand - all in one unit is just terrific. And the price point is attainable for this retiree. I can only highly recommend it if you are a coffee demon like myself. BTW, there are plenty of Utube videos available on line that offer excellent instructions and advice specifically directed to the Breville. So I say, go for it especially if you are at all interested. I bought mine at Best Buy knowing that I could return it if was not to my liking. Fortunately, it's become part of my morning ritual. I find myself now savoring my cuppa much slower in order to enjoy the great flavor and taste of my brew. Life is too short to not prepare my cup of ambition any other way.

Amazing espresso machine. Never had any problems with it and the quality is amazing. This will get you brewing.

It takes a little to figure out the settings that work for your taste and your coffee beans but its worth it when you get there. This is a great machine for coffee lovers who don’t want the massive professional level machines but want the best at home coffee they can make.

I love the barista express! The espresso is smooth. It’s a little noisy but other than that works great. It’s programmable and easy enough that my teens were able to make me coffee. Also very easy to clean. Saving a lot of money on Cafe Coffee!!

If you are a daily espresso drinker like myself, you absolutely must purchase this machine. It makes better espresso than any other coffee shop I've had, and will save you hundreds of dollars a month. It's easy to use and has been extremely reliable in the two years I've owned it. I'll never buy coffee from a coffee shop again!

Awesome machine for the price. Easy to dial in the grind and pull great espresso relatively quickly if you research how to do so properly. The wand is kinda slow to get going, but that is actually a good thing if you're learning to correctly steam milk. One thing that is annoying is that the little extra storage area under the drip tray leaks condensation all the time. I wish there was a better way to seal it from water leakage, but it isn't a huge deal. The build quality and included features/accessories are just too good to pass up for the very fair price for this machine. Just buy it if you're on the fence. A great investment if you love coffee daily.
