Great Machine
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Best Coffee Machine Period!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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!

Easy to get started and use!
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My wife and I had been using a De'Longhi basic espresso maker for years. We then tried to get one that was similar to this Breville, it was difficult to get started and kept starting up in descale mode. We returned it and bought the Breville express and couldn't be happier. This was easy to set up and get started. The built in grinder is easy to use and has 10 different settings for thickness. Very clean looking and makes deliciously strong espresso!

Great for beginners

Great machine but needs a hidden adjustment
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Good coffee
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Amazing coffee as long as you work to dial in your espresso correctly, the steam wand leaves a little to be desired because it’s only 1 hole

The perfect first espresso machine for home
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Perfect so far!
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I'm really happy with my espresso machine! I bought it in an attempt to simply make my coffee at home at any time of day and it has worked wel. It's super easy, and convinient. Coffee so far has tasted good. I know the steam wands on these home espresso machines are some times an issue. I'm not a trained barista, so Idk how well it does in making designs, but I am def able to warm up the milk and get my froth.

Makes the best coffee
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Great Espresso Machine hands down!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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!!
