Customer Ratings & Reviews

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.

Amazing. Easy to use. Simple setup. Love the coffee

Just buy it, you won't regret it. I wish I bought it sooner !

My daughter loves her Christmas gift! Easy to use and clean. Worth the price!

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.

Awesome machine. It works great and it makes my favorite cup of coffee every morning.

Makes amazing coffee, easy to use, cannot recommend enough

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.

I’ve been using this espresso machine for about 2 months, mostly for daily morning coffee. Perfect for beginners or anyone who wants café-style espresso at home without complicated settings.

We love this machine! The Breville Barista Express makes amazing coffee every time. The built-in grinder is super convenient, the espresso comes out rich and smooth, and the milk frother works beautifully for lattes and cappuccinos. It’s easy to use once you get the hang of it, and the quality feels like something you’d find in a coffee shop. Highly recommend!

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.

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!

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.

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.

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

Very stylish.easy to operate and clean. The coffee taste is really good

So far, absolutely love the machine. Easy to use and maintain and it make EXCELLENT Espresso. Me and my wife are saving our trips to Starbucks because of it. It would take a few minutes to set up and make sure everything is in right range (coffee amount, pressure, etc.) but as soon as you established your favorite setting, all you need to do is press buttons and enjoy fresh coffee. Very happy with the machine 10/10 so far.

Well, what can I say. After 4 years, $300 in other espresso machines, $200 in wasted espresso trying to pull a decent shot. $60 on a loud, finicky grinder. For what? This thing went on sale and finally decided enough was enough. I worked at Starbucks for 2 years which made it really hard to enjoy home made coffee, even with Starbucks being freshly ground in my home. This thing — once dialed in, which by the way is incredible that you have the option to dial it in — can pull shots just as good as Starbucks. I made a latte and the shots were perfect. The steamer actually makes things hot and frothy unlike most other machines. Plus, I’m here singing praises about it. So it’s worth your time and money. The manual is comprehensive and comes with a breadth of tools and cleaning accessories. If you love espresso and handcrafted coffee (and tea, since there’s a dedicated hot water spout), get this thing. And take care of it!!! You won’t be disappointed.

Great machine. Only drawback is the learning curve, but once you get past that it’s incredible

I was new to home espresso brewing when I purchased my Breville barista express machine. I was impressed by the fact that both of my adult children had already shared their positive experiences with the same unit. It’s simple to operate with just the right amount of options to make your own espresso creation. Single or double shots can be easily accomplished with freshly ground beans straight from the machine’s built in grinder. Set your desired level of fineness of grind by the roll of a dial.
