Customer Ratings & Reviews

4 Stars because this model has been $599 for many years, this year it went up to $699 with a 1 year warranty but nothing is new about it. The other Breville espresso makes have 2 year warranty's. OK, with that out of the way it's still the best complete espresso maker under $1,000 (meaning it has a grinder built in and a non-pressurized basket to make real espresso shots. So it's still a good buy. Can you get better, yes, like a Gaggia Pro for $450 and a $400 good grinder separate will make better shots in a full size 58mm portafilter, but that is not for everyone and you would be at $150 more. So yes this $700 complete unit is still the best at this price point hands down.

I am writing this review for those of you who are on the fence about this amazing product, if so please let me give you a little proverbial push! I love my Breville Barista Express machine. It grinds your own fresh whole beans as well as it uses your favorite pre- ground coffee. It makes delicious Europeon tasting Espresso along with all the other rich creamy drinks you get at 5 star Coffee shop but from the comforts of home. And one of best things is, it’s surprisingly easy to keep clean.

Breville Barista Express Espresso Machine offers a fantastic combination of high-quality performance, user-friendly design, and great value for money. Whether you're a beginner exploring the world of espresso or a seasoned coffee lover, this machine provides everything you need to create café-style drinks at home. Its durability, convenience, and ability to customize your coffee make it an excellent investment for any coffee enthusiast.

It was my first expresso machine. I have waited a year for purchasing this specific model till the price finally dropped this year. The machine is very pretty and easy to be used. Just watched some YouTube videos to figure out the pressure. So far, 90% chances I got a decent cup of double shots with this machine. It really depends on the beans that you used. Fresh beans are always the best. Hopefully it can last couple years if I follow the maintenance schedule carefully.

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

Ive had a blast with this machine, easy to use and makes me love making coffee everyday

Well, I have not written a review in a long time but I wanted to take the opportunity to write it this time because I am loving the Breville Barista Express: - Yes, it was a learning curve to understand the different variables to get an excellent Espresso, but once you learn how to do it, every cup of coffee is perfect! - This Machine is NOT for Coffee consumers that do not appreciate a good cup of coffee or if you are not willing to put the time on it. Meaning that it really is an art. - It took me around 2 weeks to get it right and understand the “Pressure”, “Tapping”, Coffee Grinding, etc… But today I love the process. I highly recommend this Espresso Machine, coffee is delicicious and the process, once you get it down, is simple. Hope this helps at least one person. = )

Extraordinary in every way. I've had my eye on this coffee maker for close to a decade, but never felt comfortable pulling the trigger on a $600 machine. Fortunately, my father-in-law already had one of these available for me to try when we stayed with them over the holidays. One of the best cups of coffee I've had coming out of a someone's home. I immediately started justifying logical reasons for me to own one of these. I purchased one as a gift to myself after hitting my bonus at work earlier this year. I went to Starbucks for the first time in weeks the other day and noticed in my app that I had only visited a Starbucks three times since I purchased this machine several months prior. At $3-$5 a cup (while on the road traveling for work), I see that I've already saved $200-$300 making a large roadie before I leave for work each day. If you can spring it, this machine is AMAZING! Easy to use, easy to clean, very efficient with the built-in grinder (adjustable) and water tank.

I could not be more pleased with this machine. It did take a little bit of getting used to, especially as I have no past barista experience. Now I look forward to making my own lattes and espresso at home because it tastes even better than a coffee shop! Definitely worth the splurge.

This machine is perfect for beginning baristas. It does take a bit to get used to, but once you dial it in, it really is great. The frother attachment works beautifully once you get the hang of it. I highly suggest you read the manual first. They have included some really useful tips and tricks in there to help get you started. The most difficult part for me was getting the tamp just right. Once you've mastered that it's really fast and easy to pull perfect shots every time. I really love that everything you need to get started is right in the box. Of course you can always upgrade down the road. Which is what I plan to do. All in all it really is a great espresso machine.

Breville's Barista Express redefines home coffee with its integrated grinder and milk frother. Easy to use, it delivers consistent, barista-quality espresso. A must-have for coffee lovers.

This coffee machine is amazing and pretty simple to figure out how to use! Love that I can grind my coffee bean to my liking and the flavor is so amazing… I’m not barista but this is soooo helpful for iced coffees and lattes (also when you register you get a free bag of coffee from Breville) and it is a bit spendy but definitely worth it!

Good expresso very easily, easy to clean and has not given any trouble

Honestly a huge step up in overall life quality. Pretty easy to use and makes amazing lattes. A little loud so might be problematic if you have shared walls in your kitchen.

Best prosumer espresso machine. I am brand new to this so it is a wonderful starting point for me. Definitely recommend research YouTube and Google for learning how to use it. Once you dial in on the right dose, you’ve got this and enjoy the best coffee you’ve ever had right at home. I love making my coffee it’s an art now. I’m still learning the process of the frother, only down fall is that it is a little slow to start but not really bad in my opinion. Overall, I’ve been so happy with my machine after using it at least twice a day for the last month. It took me about a week to get the hang of it, and lots of research to dial in the right dose and ratio. Now I have the smoothest and most exquisite coffee. Better than going to any franchise in my humble opinion.

The espresso maker is great! It will take some time to make adjustments to get the correct pressure to your liking but the directions help with making those adjustments. I wish they provided a better tamp but it works.

For the price, this is reasonable if you know about espresso machines. I’ll say this, anyone can use this machine but if you’ve worked in specialty coffee and want an affordable machine that will give you that good stuff like at work on a commercial machine, you can make this work with a good scale, know-how (dialing in, how to properly steam milk, tamping properly, etc.). This is a decent at home espresso machine! (As long as you know how, you can make this machine do great work!) Tip: I take out the beans after each use because of how hot the machine can get. Don’t wanna ruin good fresh beans!

I bought this Brevelle Expresso machine back in June. Tgis is the best coffee maker tgat I have ever owned. It makes the perfect cup of coffee every time. Once you get your ground size and amount down . It grounds the coffee perfectly and the milk frother is Awsom as well. Couldn't ask for a better Expresso machine. It you are on the fence about getting one go for it you will not be disappointed. Go get you one!!!

Amazing product. I use it every day and have not had any issues with it breaking. Takes a bit of fidgeting at first to get it to work the way you want it to but that’s part of espresso making.

We’ve had ours for over a year but have been a bit disappointed at our brews. Then we saw a YouTube video saying how you need to adjust the preset internal conical burrs from 6 to 3 for a finer grind. Now our brews are way tastier.
