The Breville Barista Express has been part of our family since June 2020, and it’s still going strong!

It’s not just a coffee maker—it’s a memory maker.

For 600 dollars you’d expect a product to last longer. A year and a half is how long it lasted until the grinder locked up. Great while it lasted. If you purchase this espresso machine be sure and get the extended warranty.

Certainly not for the novice; takes some practice.

I purchased the espresso machine about 2 months ago. I really liked the machine but for some reason the grinder button just stop working. I hope my warranty will cover that.

Great Espresso machine i would recommend this machine to anyone that appreciate a good cup of coffee

Bought it as a gift for my girlfriend and she wasn’t impressed after wanting it for over a year. She says the coffee she makes by hand is just as good therefore nothing special about the machine

Its perfectly coffe maker for beginners and people who has some experience with kind of style make Espresso.

you get everything you need in a compact machine, but the parts are fragile. The water tank broke done when I was lifting the handle as instructed by the user manuel. It is connected by some small plastic parts that broke up easily.

I like that the tamper has a handy storage cubby. The wand is touchy.

Very difficult to set up to the proper level, if you have enough patience than this is for you, also I found the machine at half price and they could not price match it so had to return it so I could get it at the lowered price

I’ve been loving my Breville Barista but today while steaming milk the plastic heat shelf broke. I’m so disappointed. I’ve only lightly used it, as I live alone, since purchasing in September. It also makes a constant ticking noise, which I’ve heard is an indication that a toggle sensor is failing. I’ve taken such delicate care of the machine, that I just can’t believe it’s already failing. For or the cost, I expected so much more.

I have exchanged this item twice, third time was a charm. Though, I have a hard time keeping the shots pulling correctly - it tends to have a lot of creme in the espresso shots. Could be user error, but it works ok for me.

Very good product and easy to use. Will help you to reduce frequent Starbucks trips.

I watched several videos to obtain information on proper usage of machine before purchase. I did a lot of research on this machine as it has a lot of positive reviews. It never made espresso as it should, and I think maybe something was defective in the unit. I ended up returning it back to store.

Coffee just as good as any other way cheaper machine. Water drips down a tray, what an inconvenient feature, if I knew that I would never have purchased this item. Big, takes too much counter space. I would NOT recommend. You can get just as good coffee for a fraction of the price.

You don't know what it is to drunk Coffee until you get it this espresso machine

I’m disappointed about the milk frosting part. There is little to almost no foam comes up when I frost the milk for my cappuccino. I have tried all different kinds of milk and followed all instructions. This item is way overpriced.

Great coffee maker for home. It’s pretty slow, but makes great coffee. Grinder do not stop automatically or at least we never figured out how to set it up. We checking the amount of coffee and then remove if from under the grinder.

I would prefer the oracle to get the perfect taste and not have to determine how much coffee is needed after grind

Bought this for home use. It’s easy to use and works well. Compact and sturdy.
