Worth it
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Efficient and easy to use once you get the hang of it. Everything is integrated, leading to very little mess. Just make sure to stick to the pressurized filters and keep it clean.

Off a (coffee) BEAN!
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Better than waiting in line at certain coffee spots. Espresso is a new hobby I picked up. You can slowly get the various tools for this bad boy, but it comes with what you need. Great machine. Don’t forget to dial in those beans.

Very intuitive and robust design
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I am getting an excellent professional quality espresso coffee out of this machine. I like this particular model of the Breville Espresso family because of its price point and the robust, thoughtful and intuitive design features. I appreciate less electronics and the analog dials looks really great and durable. I would have given it a 5 rating had not for the knocking noise especially when using the steamer. The steam/ hot water generator knob can be improved by giving it some smoother rotation and a strong indication of OFF ( middle position) or a good indication between steam and hot water. Maybe need a lever instead of round knob. But overall, it is an excellent product.

the best Espresso Machine
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've bought the second machine for my son. This is the best Espresso Machine I have ever used. I've been using it for about five years. We drink 5-10 cups of late every day and it works with no issue. Usually we make coffee with Lavazza Qualità Oro coffee beans and whole milk but sometimes we drink decaffeinated coffee and this machine allows you to use ground coffee as well. Finally it has everything you need to make delicious coffee.

Novice barista no more - at home!
||Posted . Owned for more than 2 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was new to home espresso brewing when I purchased my Breville barista express machine. I was impressed by the fact that both of my adult children had already shared their positive experiences with the same unit. It’s simple to operate with just the right amount of options to make your own espresso creation. Single or double shots can be easily accomplished with freshly ground beans straight from the machine’s built in grinder. Set your desired level of fineness of grind by the roll of a dial.

Exceptional machine.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This machine is fantastic for the coffee aficionado. Able to pour the perfect shot every time, and the frother is a good asset as well and makes perfect micro foam for your lattes. The conical burr grinder is a nice addition too providing fresh beans for every cup. A great mid tier espresso machine capable of delivering exceptional lattes and other coffeehouse favorites.

Great little machine
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love my little machine. Been using it for a few months. No more latte coffee runs. And now I get family visitors just for a cup of coffee. It helps to watch videos if you’re a first timer. Especially on how to keep it clean. I make hot drinks and my daughters make iced!

Coffee shop at home!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love it. The whole family loves it. We make probably 10 cups of either espresso or cappuccino a day - both decaf and regular (using the automatic grinder for regular; switching the filter for preground decaf). Both amazing. It's a little messy but worth it. I have been wanting one of these for a couple of years and my husband got it for me for Mother's Day (on sale). Expensive but so, so yummy!

Best espresso machine I ever own!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I give it only 5 stars because it's all I'm allowed, but it deserves 10 stars; easy to use, easy to clean, makes superb coffee, I also make tea with the hot water spout, and hot chocolate with the steam wand, at first I taught this machine was to expensive; after using it for the fist time I understood I got more than I paid for; LOVE IT, no regrets, highly recommend it. :)

Intimidating to look at, but you'll get it quickly
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My husband knows I love espresso and talked me into getting this machine as my very first espresso maker. I was extremely hesitant because when you haven't used something like this before it's extremely intimidating. However, I actually watched some youtube videos and followed the quick start instructions with no problems. I love it and make espresso shots and drinks with it daily. It's an expensive initial purchase but it's absolutely worth it if you're an espresso lover.

Espresso Novice
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Pulls great shots of Espresso and that is really the reason I purchased it. My wife however likes drinks requiring the use of the steam wand and although it works Ok it takes some getting use to. It doesn't provide a great amount of steam and you have to play around with the dial a little bit before you can adequately produce enough for a single serve beverage. But for a shot of Espresso its great
