    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.

    I wanted to get a coffee machine so I can make my coffee at home and stop spending my salary on expensive coffee in the morning. I am a newbie in making coffee with this kind of machines but it is really easy to use and once you set it up properly, you will definitely happy you invested in one of these! Very happy with it so far!

    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.

    Brews an excellent espresso right on your counter. The integrated grinder produces very fine grounds and allows dial in your espresso to accommodate whole beans from various sources. The dual wall caps are very useful to make use of random ground beans you may have around. Highly recommend over single serving machines that eventually make your coffee experience tedious.

    Great espresso machine. Nice build quality and comes with all accessories you need. Grinder at its best for freshest ground coffee and lattes, espresso comes out just like your corner coffee shop. Just need some getting used to the manual settings. I think you would get back your money’s worth in few months. Totally worth it.

    Great machine! In my experience, it makes better quality espresso when using freshly ground coffee beans than using pre-ground but still good quality in any case. There may be cheaper options but I think this machine pays by itself after some time.

    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.

    Purchased for my girlfriends birthday. I’m not to much of a coffee person but the stuff that comes from this is absolutely amazing. It has been very difficult for us to make espresso with the single wall cups but the double wall makes it a breeze. She states that the espresso from this is as good if not better than Starbucks. I would recommend even though the high price tag of the item.

    This is the best coffee machine, worth every penny. I had previously bought a fully automatic (another brand) but had to return it bc it was of poor quality. Breville is very sturdy, high-quality expresso with smooth crema, and moderate size and aesthetically pleasing. I highly recommend this coffee machine.

    Expensive but worth it. because all bean are not the same may take a bit of time to get the right adjustment on the gridder, but not hard and truly a learning experience. Never owned one before and first got one for around 200.00. There is no comparison between the two. This was well worth it!

    Greatest investment I've ever made. It gets used on a daily basis, perfect design not to mention how perfect it makes my coffee. Not to mention how perfect it makes the froth "Yuuuummmy" If I could give it 10 stars I would. LOL Not all hero's wear capes, But mine happens to be an Expresso machine... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    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 bought this a s Christmas gift for myself over a year ago for Christmas. I was a Barista back in college where they had preset, several thousand dollar machines. This machine takes some time to play with to get the settings right for the beans that you would like to use. If you change beans, you may have to adjust the settings a couple time again to get it right, but that's why I love it. It's customizable and fun to play with. The coffee is great. We use it a few time a week and several time in a night around the holidays or when we have guests over. It has a reasonable footprint compared to other brands/ models. It is beautiful on the counter. Definitely a conversation piece that has saved us hundreds on coffee compared to our daily Starbucks run.

    It is easy to use, and simple clean-up procedure when necessary. Also, it has a fancy look and the espresso quality is great. The hot water outlet makes things even more convenient, because usually I drink a cup after drinking espresso.

    I purchased this machine when my Saeco Via Venezia Espresso Machine bit the bullet. I researched several machines before I decided on this one. From the first cup of espresso, I could tell a huge difference in quality of the espresso this machine makes versus the Via Venezia, which was highly rated. I love that the Breville allows you to customize and control more of the espresso production. The steaming wand is extremely versatile and easy to use. I love this machine and highly recommend it! I don't go to Starbucks any more unless I absolutely have to! This machine makes better lattes, hands down.
