    Pros: Incredibly delicious Learning curve is not as steep as most reviews say. Consistency Cons: Grinder doesn’t feed perfectly every time with some types of beans Grinder could be big enough to fit one bag, it’s just a hair shy Water tank could be bigger Drip tray fills quickly Love it and it set a new standard (a stupid high one) for coffee at home. The price is expensive but if it saves you 3 cups at Starbucks per week that’s about a $14 savings. It pays for itself over time.

    I used to work as a barista and this is the best non-commercial espresso machine and steamer I’ve used. I’ve been pulling perfect espresso shots and efficiently steaming milk

    Yummy!!!! With my leash tightened, and findng myself home more and at the coffee shop, well, NEVER, it seemed like a fancy espresso maker might be just the ticket for an improved attitude. I was right! Never underestimate the power of espresso. This machine makes coffee that is better than the shops. It supplies entertainment with friends (distanced coffee on the front porch) and an instant upgrade to any home base. YES. Foam too! Lick-your-lips good!

    This is my second time to purchase this machine. First purchase was 4years ago and I used the machine for 3years without any problem then I moved to different state, so I gave old machine to my friend and purchased new one again! I could buy different espresso machine but choose same machine. Some of my friends have different kind of machine so I could try but this machine is the best.

    After over 8 months of use, we still love this machine and use it daily. It does take some tweaking to get the grind right, and I've noticed different coffees can change the pressure, so we typically stick to one brand. The machine is easy to clean, convenient, and looks great.

    At first when I first saw the Barista Express, I was a bit hesitant to buy. After bringing this beauty home, I have had nothing but pleasure making my own expressos. It is so easy to grind your own beans and the aroma in the morning is amazing. A bit pricey but it's so worth it.

    This machine is wonderful. It definitely takes some time and patience to dial it in. But once you figure it out, Starbucks or your go to coffee shop will be the thing of the past. I do recommend fresh beans from your local sourced coffee shop and manual dosing rather than store bought beans straight into the hopper and the machine doing the dosing for double shots. This machine is worth it for all the coffee I would be drinking out!

    Absolutely love it! I’ve been on the fence and searching for the best model and this fits the bill! A few friends recommended the brand & model and it had great reviews. I even read an article listing top 10 and this was at the top of the list. Easy to use. I finally realized to not use the suggested coffee measurements when doing a double shot. Just add extra and tap tap tap. Very important for achieving the correct pressure.

    Great product. We got this for our anniversary. I've been using a $99 expresso machine for a while and suspected no significant difference with this one. Guess what? This machine brings my latte to a different level! Totally worth the money.

    It has a learning curve just so you are aware. It's not a Keurig where you just press a button. That said It is an amazing piece of equipment! Works great and now after using it many times, I can confidently make an amazing cup of espresso.
