Customer Ratings & Reviews

Great coffee machine. Huge learning curve after switching from a Keurig but nothing a few YouTube videos couldn't fix. Fairly simple to keep clean and easy to use once you know what you're doing.

So far great machine. Big investment but it saved money on every day starbucks or other coffee locations for the same if not better quality.

Works great, makes perfect espresso. It’s definitely expensive but you get what you pay for

Finally bought after a while, with COVID-19 working from home should have bought way earlier. Impressed with the coffee, so much so that now I need to be much more careful about my total consumption. Goes on sale 1-2X per year, often knocks ~$100 off (FYI).

If you love a good espresso or latte, this machine is for you. It's easy to learn how to use it and the coffee tastes amazing! Not to mention the many dollars you're saving each day and week. It's also a beautiful machine so the design up-levels the kitchen.

Easy to setup and makes great expresso! We absolutely love it.

I was fortunate enough to buy this on sale and I’m glad I did. I have stopped drinking coffee altogether and only make lattes now. The machine does require some research and practice to use. If you don’t have the time to learn and the patience, this won’t be the machine for you.

Great product all around. Well built, easy to set up, beautiful machine!

Brews an excellent espresso right on your counter. The integrated grinder produces very fine grounds and allows dial in your espresso to accommodate whole beans from various sources. The dual wall caps are very useful to make use of random ground beans you may have around. Highly recommend over single serving machines that eventually make your coffee experience tedious.

Works very well; occasionally the steamer doesn't flow and has to be turned off and on again. Love the integrated grinder. Hard to access water reservoir on kitchen counter because of overhead cabinets so I have to move it forward to refill. Directions aren't very good but once you figure it out, it is easy. Worked great out of the box. Glad I finally bought it!

What a great machine! we decided to upgrade from the "Bambino" to this one. Great decision! Everything is on this machine; grinder separate water and steamer. Easy cleaning and turns out a great drink.

Best espresso machine on the market, and the best is the price.

I had originally purchased a Brim 19 Bar Espresso machine in Summer 2019. That machine worked for less than a year when the steam pipe completely gave out. Luckily, i had purchased the extended service plan, which I used toward the purchase this Breville espresso machine (about a month ago). I had the Breville machine for a week at which point the steam completely stopped working. As with the previous machine, I returned the first Breville machine and exchanged it for a new one. Now I have had the second Breville machine for almost three weeks. It works fine except that the coffee grinder sometimes needs a shake or a tap to get coffee to move through it smoothly. Give this issue, I am not sure how long the built-in grinder will last. As for the rest of the machine, it seems to work pretty well. It definitely makes good espresso and steams milk well. Given my experiences to date, I am not sure I have the confidence that this Breville machine will stand the test of time. I feel that these machines are designed to work for a limited period of time and then they just break. I hope I am wrong about that. Regardless of which machine one chooses to purchase, I would not go without the extended service plan. If anything goes wrong, insurance is important because these machines are expensive and buying another one is not cheap. Let’s hope this one lasts for a long time...

This espresso machine is a powerful one for being entry level, i will say that you need to be patient with your self if your new to tamping and such. buy cheap fine grounds to learn how to tamp with to start and then buy your snarky special beans to fully get your moneys worth. no complaints. just be patient with learning to pull your shots.

If you’re looking through the reviews to talk yourself into buying it, this review is for you. Buy it and you won’t regret it!

Its easy to learn how to make beverages. Id say this is worth investing which could save you a lot of money in the long run by skipping starbucks or other coffee shops. I love this machine. Very easy to use

This machine is so amazing we stopped going to Starbucks. This is my 2nd Barista Express machine. The first machine lasted over 5 years with daily use of at least 10-15 cappuccinos per day.

We have this Espresso Machine for 17 months now. We use this at least twice a day and it still works great. We've been keeping up when the cleaning notification lights up. Be sure to descale/clean when it's time to do so.

Excellent espresso machine. If you never made and espresso before (like me), this machine can be a little intimidating. Easy to use once figured out. Sturdy. The built in grinder is a plus plus if you dont have one. Highly recommend!!

Amazing starter espresso machine! Has everything you need to get started
