Customer Ratings & Reviews

Has been like a week, maybe I should wait more to write a review but oh my... It's been a great joy using this machine! The grinder has very fine adjustments. The retention is not bad at all. Heats up in like probably less than 2 seconds or so, which is crazy. Getting awesome fresh espresso is a great pleasure!

This was a gift for my husband. I am not a coffee drinker and I wouldn't even know how to make coffee. So when I chose this, I strongly depended on reviews from others. Turns out, all the glowing reviews were well deserved. My husband LOVES this! There was a short learning curve, but now he's making expressos and cappuccinos like a pro. I will take his word...and the word of those who have had the coffee...that it is on par with Starbucks.

Built very sturdy and is very pleasing to the eye. Makes great coffee and was exactly what I was looking for as a intermediate at home barista. Love that you can adjust the heat and that the built in burr grinder has so many adjustments.

Bought this for my wife for Christmas. Machine heats up super fast, very easy controls to dial in your grind. I previously worked as a barista years ago and can make every drink that was available at the café with this machine. If you can't afford the 2k for a machine with a double broiler than this machine is perfect.

Finally a semi automatic espresso machine that delivers great espresso easily from the first pull. This is a purchase I have been waiting for a long time. Rich, delicious aroma and taste in my home anytime I want it. Easy to use; Frothing milk is a breeze. If you love espresso, you owe it to yourself to get one. No more waiting in line.

This machine works as advertised! There is a bit of a learning curve and it took a couple days to master. Now I'm enjoying making drinks for family and friends. I would advise buying a good distributor and the fresher the beans the better.

Great machine, been using it every morning since I bought it, wouldn’t trade it for the world

This is my new morning buddy, I can't wait to have an expresso or a fresh ground coffee drink each morning the machine is so well made and solid and easy to use. love the hot water spout.

I'm writing a review after 3 months of having this and I'm super satisfied with my purchase. I always recommend for people to watch Youtube reviews before making any costly purchases so you know kind of what you are getting into. It took some practice, but I've gotten my daily espresso down! It's very simple, but isn't just a push-and-go machine which is what I like. I wanted an easy Breville, but not TOO easy so that I could actually feel like I'm my own Barista! I definitely recommend this machine for simple coffee lovers. For someone that's a perfectionist and is very picky, I would recommend maybe a higher-end model, but if you just want a nice drink to yourself, I highly recommend! Its easy to understand and to clean. The only downside is that you have to extract and foam your milk separately: As in you can't run both at the same time. It's one or the other.

We love the style and performance of this machine. Our family enjoys the delicious beverages that we create on a daily basis. The machine is easy to clean and simple to operate. I recommend them to everyone!

I truly enjoyed this machine. The grinding of the beans and quick heating was awesome. The steaming of the milk is the easiest and quickest one I've experienced. And I've had the different types.

If you’re looking around and reading and less reviews of which espresso machine to buy, look no further. This is it. This is the one you want. I have my grind time setting set for 16.5 seconds and it my grind level set to six. I love my espresso strong and bold but yet light and airy while lacking that acidic aftertaste.

Amazing machine! Easy to use and makes delicious lattes! I used to drink Starbucks several times a week. I haven’t been since I purchased this machine. I buy my freshly roasted beans from a local coffee shop. So happy I made this purchase!

I absolutely love this espresso machine! It’s great for beginner and easy to learn to use. It may take time to master making your espresso to your liking, but totally worth it!

This machine will make coffee far better than Starbucks as long as you have the patience to learn how to use it.

Great gift for coffee lover! Expensive, but seems very well made. Easy to operate if you watch a few YouTube tutorials. Coffee shop quality lattes and espressos.

Pretty good. Have been using it almost daily since we got it. Pros: Build quality seems good; Good design for user controls; Nice color; Fits under our kitchen cabinet; the steam wand is nice and powerful. Cons: The bean grinder doesn't do a good job if there isn't enough beans in the bean holder, but you don't know that there isn't enough beans. Even though there are still beans, the beans got stuck and don't roll into the grinder. The work-around is to always fill the bean holder with a lot of beans.

Excellent machine that produces high quality espresso at a reasonable price. My in-depth was confirmed that this machine was the best choice in this price range.

Amazing espresso maker, haven’t used the coffee grinder yet but steamer works very good reminds me of my younger days working at sheets making coffee for people. Decent price for high quality machine.

It’s a great intro espresso machine. I suggest getting a separate grinder tho but I wish I would have got the bambino for the price. But if you can afford it ,it’s worth it.
