Customer Ratings & Reviews

There’s a bit of a learning curve (at least there was for me), but after you figure it out, you’ll never look back! Well worth it.

I love the machine! Now I can taste a real espresso.

This was an excellent gift they completely loved it works awesome.

We have this Espresso Machine for 17 months now. We use this at least twice a day and it still works great. We've been keeping up when the cleaning notification lights up. Be sure to descale/clean when it's time to do so.

This is a great at home product, I once owned a coffee shop with a huge $15,000 espresso machine, while this product is not the same cost, it does deliver a great finished product for much much less. I would recommend this for the at home connoisseur. With a few extra accessories and coffee product, this is as good if not better than a big box chain product.

This could be the best coffee machine you ever need to buy. LOVE IT. The only thing wrong with this is that you will not enjoy coffee shop expresso ever again, until it prefect like you make yourself.

Great starter machine for espresso making. Takes some tome to get the hang of but once you have the hang if it its awesome.

This machine freakin awesome! The coffee comes out great! I have people come over and the first thing they ask for is for a cup of coffee. It awesome to wake up and not drive somewhere extra and spend extra money when you have your own coffee shop right inside your house. The machine is great. Recommend it for everyone!!

I love this machine, I only make lattes at home now. The only recommendation would be to get the upgraded model (a little more expensive) because that one has less manual work involved

I bought this for my mom as a Mother's Day gift & she absolutely loves it! She uses it every morning & she says it was super easy to set up & use. Thanks Breville!

Makes excellent coffee espresso. Cleaning the equipment can be a challenge

Absolutely love it! FYI, the plastic sleeve that comes with it screws on the top of the espresso grind holder to prevent excess grind power from falling over onto the tray. It's awesome.

I absolutely love this machine! It makes barista-quality coffee that really wakes me up every day. Highly recommended!

I used to buy coffee every day, sometimes twice a day. Since I've bought this machine I haven't bought coffee since. It takes a few tries and the right beans for you, but well worth it in the end. Also, clean it regularly and treat it right. It'll last you years to come.

Coffee doesn't come hot enough, tamper is chip and it do not fit all the filters, pressure gage does not move from 0.

I’m loving my Breville Barista Express but getting it dialed in was a nightmare due to “factory settings”. I’m a seasoned barista and let me just tell you before you buy that it’s going to take some time and beans to get this thing to extract correctly. I started with the factory settings which gave me 0 pressure. I’m using FRESH roasted espresso beans btw (this is what you want for the best extract) I had to go through and take my grinder apart to change my burr setting and meticulously gauge in my grind as well. Right now I’m at a 4 burr , alittle under 3 grind and it’s perfect.

This machine takes a little getting used to - grind of beans, tamping and quality of espresso. Once you get the hang of it, it is wonderful. I confess, however, that I have never mastered steaming milk to a froth for a cappuccino. I use a separate frother for that.

This coffee espresso machine is great. You’ll never have to goto those expensive coffee shops again. It will pay for itself in months. I suggest watching some YouTube videos on how to make your favorites. The machine does come with some good basic instructions to get you started.

I have a cafe mode machine before and would do all thr steps automatically. But this one is manual. But fun to use but takes more time.

Nice Machine! If you don't know anything about making espresso it can be a little bit of a challenge to learn the machine, but its not hard. Works great!
