Customer Ratings & Reviews

This machine is amazing!! Get high quality beans and do a little experimenting with the settings until you find the sweet spot. Ive had it for two months now and works great!! I was spending 10.00 a day on Starbucks but no more!! I find that half and half gives you great foam!!

Love it for strong coffee, espresso shots, and caramel macchiatos (textured milk with caramel). It is fun to use and makes incredible coffee like I experienced in France, Switzerland and Italy.

This machine is great. As a beginner, it has allowed me to learn about dialing in espresso as well as getting decent milk texture. Don't get me wrong, this is no prosumer grade machine, BUT it is a fully capable machine that will leave you satisfied with the quality of espresso it is able to make. My only complaint would be the included tamp is a tiny bit too small for the portafilter basket, so I would recommend picking up a 53mm one off of amazon or something like that. Not necessary, but definitely helpful. Overall I would definitely recommend this machine to anyone looking to get into the world of espresso!

Great product, performs as advertised. Easy to use, should have bought it years ago!

Love it!! Make excellent expresso coffee and is very easy to use.

There is a reason these machines are everywhere and it is because they are great. I can only say good things about this. Medium roast coffee works best here and my tip is to skip struggling with descaling, use it with distilled water and sprinkle a tiny bit of minerals on top of the tamped or the in the brewed coffee instead. In case you are crazy about the perfect tasting coffee that is already great anyway.

My wife loves it. She keeps asking me to make her more and more coffee. She has not gone to Starbucks since she got the Breville Espresso machine saving an average of $30 a week!!

I owned a specialty coffee shop for 13 years. This is closest to a commercial machine that I've found. Makes great espresso with the perfect crema. I absolutely love it!

Machine came in perfect condition but it is a little tricky to maneuver and get the perfect espresso. However once you find the right setting it’s all good.

Owned this for a few months now and really enjoying it. Having fresh grounds for every coffee is awesome and having the optional porta filters is nice for pre-ground coffee too. Steamer wand works great too. We got a smaller, cheaper brand before this and, wow, what a difference! This is a high quality product, comes with a nice cleaning kit and extra stuff too. Highly recommend if you can swing the cost...was worth it to me!

Love our expresso machine, My wife and I use it so much and the price justifies itself with how much we now make espressos at home vs buying it else where. Takes time to learn but amazing!

Amazing machine! Makes perfect espresso. Does take a little bit of trial and error to find the perfect setttings, but definitely worth it!

Best thing ever! Great coffee maker and really simple to use.

So far great machine. Big investment but it saved money on every day starbucks or other coffee locations for the same if not better quality.

Loooooooooooooooooooooooveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee it

I gave this as a gift to my husband for his birthday and he loves it! The machine looks nice and does not take up a lot of counter space. After adjusting the settings he has found the ones that he likes the most and now gets a consist ant cup of espresso every time.

If you’re looking through the reviews to talk yourself into buying it, this review is for you. Buy it and you won’t regret it!

Great entry-level espresso machine. Quality, simple to use machine.

Just as advertised. Makes great lattes! I’ve been using it every day and keeps me away from coffee shops.

The Breville Barista Express brought so much joy. Espresso is just levels higher than regular drip coffee and a Keurig machine. It's quite expensive, but I'm sure it will save money in the long run since now I only need roasted coffee beans.
