    This makes some of the best fresh ground coffee. I've had it for a month now and coffee has never tasted better! I like espresso on occasion but use this for coffee mostly. Watch videos on how to use it and that will help you get started fast. If you currently use K-Cups, this will save you money over time as you just use whole coffee beans.

    Such a great performing espresso maker. Easy to use and such great tasting espressos. My only suggestion is to follow the instructions and prep the machine by pre-heating with the steamer.

    This is our 2nd Breville Barista. The 1st one lasted 8 years & gave us the best tasting espresso, Cafe Americanos, lattes, cappuccinos, iceed-coffees, you name it. It had paid for itself several times over vs. the fancy, over-priced coffee shops. After the 1st machine wore out (family of 4 use coffee drinkers @ 2 or more servings/day) we looked at several different machines. We stuck with a well tested & trusted machine. No regrets!

    I was going to Starbucks everyweek on my days off! I wouldn't just order for myself but for family as well! Obviously this was getting expensive and It was a hit or miss if with the consistency of the coffee at Starbucks. I purchased a simpler 150$ espresso machine and was very happy but the level of control or ease (especially with the built in grinder) wasn't there. I decided to upgrade to The Barista Express. Honestly this was one of the best purchases I have ever made. I actually enjoy the coffee I make more than I do from Starbucks. Its definitively an investment but you will not regret it. There are some start up cost such as towels and a puck bucket but looks up this product on Amazon and look at the top review to get a good idea of what you will need. The post goes into much more detail. I bought mine from BestBuy because I love their return policy with the warranty you purchase with them.

    This is my 2nd machine within 2 years. The 1st i bought with warranty. Warranty almost expired when i noticed it was taking longer to warm the milk. Took back to Best Buy and got a full refund and used the refund to buy another. Best Buy customer service at Gilbert, AZ is excellent. This machine seems to have been improved over the last 1. My girlfriend noticed, too. Does a great job grinding the beans, extracting coffee, and frothing milk.

    Find your inner barista. Makes a nice consistent cup of espresso. Steam sometimes lets out too much water but that seems normal. Many grind setting to adjust based on your beans. Helpful YouTube videos to get you started if you’re new to the espresso game as I was.

    So this is an amazing machine, the trick is you have to learn how to use it from a pro. My brother came over and spent 3 full hours to test and do coffee runs, and finally we nailed it. The trick is you have to get the grind correct, the pressure, and temperature. We discovered that running the machine 20 minutes before starting to use is what you do to make the machine come up to temp, then running the steamer before and after every use makes your water temp reach the max. Also make sure to weigh the coffee with a scale for each use to know the exact measurements. So the bottom line it’s a science to get it just right with the perfect taste, so if you are that person that looks for perfection and you have patience, then this is for you. If you are a person who drinks drip coffee from a Mr coffee machine, then this is not for you!

    Makes excellent coffee for people who want their coffee made right but don't have time to research ten million options. If you have more money, than you have time, and you enjoy a good cup of coffee and quality... get this thing. It is basic, and classic too... really no frills when you think about it or compare it to the k-cups, pods, etc. This is fresh beans, ground up and brewed into espresso. That's it.

    I knew I wanted this machine from the day I first saw it. It takes a little patience to learn and master, but the process is very rewarding. The built in grinder and milk frother allowed me to simplify my coffee equipment to one machine. Highly recommend this to anyone who loves coffeehouse drinks and has the desire to learn the craft.

    Best machine for making coffee at home! Took me about 2-3 days to figure out the settings I needed for the specific coffee beans I buy but once the settings are good the rest is magic. Great for saving money instead of buying coffee out everyday! Easy to clean.

    Excellent espresso, easy operation, quality look and feel. Makes great espresso without requiring a degree in java. Very worthwhile buy at the sale price of around $650. Quick to heat up and deliver a good shot.

    I honestly thought this was something we would like but that it would likely just sit on our counter and look pretty. We literally threw our coffee brewer away and use this exclusively. Every single morning. Super easy to use and makes the best coffee. Every time people come over, they are super impressed and always ask for a coffee or latte. So glad we bought this!
