Customer Ratings & Reviews

Get ready to have your home smelling like a delicious coffee shop! This thing is everything I had wished and hoped it would be! Pair with it freshly roasted beans and you’re going to have the ability to make better coffee then what you get at most shops!

I have had this machine for a couple weeks now and have not had an issue. It comes with everything you need to make great espresso. Of course there are additional tools you can get to further increase your experience but out of the box it is wonderful. I pull about 6-8 shots per day, never had any issue so far

I haven’t spent money on Starbucks or any coffee shop since I bought this last month. It’s easy to set up, use and clean. It’s a very good middle ground espresso machine I suppose as far as cost goes from the research I did. But I don’t think I’d get anything else more pricey. I also really like the grinder that’s built in- only complaint is the grounds make a mess, so I set a small bowl underneath it. The steamer works very well and is easy to use. This is our first espresso machine and we are pleased! Worth the money!

I love this machine. It’s perfect for the home. Comes with single wall for those that want to really dial in the shot and dual wall pressurized for an easier experience. The grind is not perfect but it is good enough to make a good tasting shot of espresso. I have used this every day now for a few weeks and it’s been reliable with no issues so far. This is the lowest I think I’d go for a quality home espresso machine.

With more people working from home, many are missing out on that authentic morning latte experience. And while you can remedy that with pod styles espresso machines, whole beans is always the way to go with coffee or espresso. In comes Breville with its new Barista Pro which truly brings a craft espresso shop into your home! SET-UP & FINE TUNING: - I think the most important thing to know about this espresso machine (or really any authentic espresso machine) is that it takes time to understand how to get the best espresso possible and I hoped to go through that here. - Before that, right out of the box there is some minor set up you have to do. Mainly just follow the quick setup guide to make sure you rinse out a few things, set up the filter, and run water through the system. It's pretty easy stuff but just be aware of that! - Once you are ready to go and have the whole beans in, now is the important part: the fine tuning. Just like coffee beans, espresso beans can have different characteristics to them and because of this they all grind slightly different. So between this you will have to run a number of practice runs through the machine before you are ready to go. This just means that you adjust the grind size and grind amount until you get the perfect time of pour, color, and taste. - And really once you are done with the grind settings, you will be ready to go! Just keep the settings the same every time until you change the espresso bean you are putting in there. PROS: - The Breville Barista Pro is a gorgeous machine! I really like the updated stainless steel look to it as well as the improved angles and set up. - I think the digital display face just makes for a more inviting experience. Its a nice crisp color, easy to understand how to use, and just makes for simply operation all around. Seriously the controls were very easy to use on this display! - I was seriously blown away at how fast this Barista Pro heats up! The new "ThermoJet" is very noticeable on how fast it heats up and how quiet it is. In comparison to other espresso machines, I was also really impressed with how quiet it is. - After setup, the ease of use is so simple! Put the portafilter (handle with the shot at the end) under to grind the beans, pack it down, and pop it under to make the shot. All done! Once you get good at it, you can have an espresso in less than a minute. - On that note, there is really something about the smell of fresh ground espresso beans and packing your own shot. I have really enjoyed the hands on approach to this espresso machine that makes me more involved in how my drink turns out. - The steam wand is another reason why this espresso machine is so incredible. Now a steam wand doesn't just whisk up the milk like other "frothers" do. The steam wand creates genuine coffee house froth at the top of the milk while also heating it up to the temperature you want. I recommend watching some videos on how to perfect the skill but its pretty easy! - I do also like the hot water spout it has in case you need a bit for a drink, or to mix honey with, or really anything. - And of course, my drinks taste wonderful! It makes a really great shot of espresso because the involvement of fresh ground beans, hand packed shots, and freshly frothed milk make for a very enjoyable latte! Or make it your own, you can pour the espresso over ice and make an ice latte, use a lot of froth for a cappuccino, or use the hot water spout for an americano. DOWNSIDES: - I can't really thing of any "Cons" about this espresso machine as I think they really thought of everything! But I can list some downsides to owning something like this that some might not like - This isn't just a press one button and you have your drink ready to go. This is a craft you have to put some effort into to make, its rewarding but just something to be aware of. - There is cleaning involved when making shots aka clean out the drainage tray, wipe down the steam wand, and clean out the portafilter. It's a good way to keep everything looking nice but it's not something you can just clean once a month like a pod system or coffee pot. - Although it's quiet compared to others, its still going to be louder than a coffee machine. But if you have ever been into a coffee shop you know that espresso machines are not quiet. BOTTOM LINE: - If you are craving something than something from a coffee pot, then the Breville Barista Pro has you covered. It really is an enjoyable part of my morning to hand craft a drink, smell the fresh beans, and have a nice warm latte all from the comforts of my own home. Yes its a more involved process than a pod system, but that's what gives it the flavor you desire and it makes up for it with the high end look of the Barista Pro. I have really enjoyed being my own Barista every morning while having a strong cup of espresso to start my day, and I think you will too!

1 of the best coffee maker investment i ever made after two year still working 100%

I’ve had this coffee maker for 2 1/2 years now. It has worked great until now. It will no longer make any coffee. It only says ER.

Great unit owned it for a year now no issues other than running a clean cycle. Takes some time to learn how to make a great shot but that’s the nature of espresso vs the unit I would recommend this to anyone.

I got this for my girlfriend for her birthday and this has been a game changer! We havent stepped foot in a starbucks in over 1.5 months and have saved so much!

Excellent, waited 3 years to buy it ( I was undecided) best decision everrr.

just a super machine, I make the best coffee for myself and recommend that everyone love to make coffee themselves, but you have to suffer a little with the study of the whole process, but believe me, it's worth it and after three months of studying and buying additional accessories you will make coffee better than anywhere else. number and better people in Starbucks

Excellent coffee machine for very affordable cost. Makes professional level coffee at home. Perfect machine for those who like coffee and enjoy a little hands on adjustment to perfect your coffee shot.

WORTH IT. Starbucks who?? Be the best at home barista with this machine. Its great for the experienced and newcomers to the coffee world. I HIGHLY recommend youtube videos as its super intimidating at first but once you get the hang of it- AMAZING.

Perfect expresso machine. Easy to use and very handly

It is a one of the best espresso machines out there . You can literally make any type of coffee with it. Good for home use, and It is so reliable.

Best espresso ever. We have been through a dozen espresso machines. This is the king!

Took us a while to figure out how to use it - but we use it now everyday. We have started having some issues with it and haven’t even had it a full year. It has started not dripping out espresso (sounds like it is and everything is set up correctly). We have to reconnect the wand and turn off and back on before it will work again. Anyone have this issue before? We have flushed it recently just in case that could’ve been the issue.

We love it!! It’s not hard to operate. If you love coffee, it’s worth the investment. I can make my coffee at home and it saves me time and money.

It offers great control of grind, pressure, and extraction. Comes with all the tools to make great at home espresso.

Amazing, recommended 100%, My family really enjoyed
