Customer Ratings & Reviews

I write this review with the context that it is my first espresso machine. I'm a big coffee drinker overall, and was spending about $20 a day on coffee at work. I've since started using this machine to load up a large mug, and am saving about $15 a day as a result. This is a great espresso machine for someone like me. As I'm no coffee expert, it's really easy to work with as it provides many presets for each type of drink. I find myself using the "latte" setting consistently. It creates a hot, consistent pour and froths the milk perfectly. The bottom tray slips out and can easily be rinsed. The hopper holding the beans lasts a good amount of time, and the water reservoir on the back is large - you can go days without filling it as a heavy coffee drinker. Adjusting the grind is done easily by a wheel on the left side of the machine, and the electronics recognize and assign a value to your grind as a result. The machine is sleek looking, and looks great on the countertop - and the cord is awesome and it's pretty heavy-duty feeling, and provides a loop for you to pull it out of the outlet. Why didn't I give it a 5? 1. The hopper has no self-agitating method to push the beans down toward the grinder, and relies on gravity alone. There are many times the hopper looks fuller than it is, and the grind turns out lighter than expected as the beans have packed themselves in a way to stop them from falling into the grinder - requiring you to open the hopper and push them down manually. 2. This is probably a function of my lack of espresso experience and grinding / packing the beans consistently in a way that is appropriate for each time of bean used - the grounds often get stuck on the top of the section where the water comes out during the pour process. I pack them down solidly and use the leveling tool to ensure they don't sit too high - but it often feels random. Some "noob"-proofing in this area would have been nice. 3. The milk frothing wand does the self-clean cycle after each frothing, and splatters the milk a few inches around the grill and onto the frothing temperature sensor instead of directly into the disposal hole leading to the bottom tray. This is likely due to the initial and quick force of air/water coming out of the wand. I have to wipe around the grill after every clean cycle as a result. This feels like a fixable issue. 4. The tool storage tray magnetically connects to the "catch all" tray (I'm sure there's a better term for it), and every time I pull out the "catch all" tray, the tool storage tray pulls out and gets cock-eyed as I separate it from the other - often starting to spill the tools if you're not paying attention. I wish there was a locking mechanism to prevent this from happening. 5. The top of the "catch all" tray is removable and in a stainless steel color - but scratched pretty easily, and I'm not even sure from what. These are nit-picks, but improvements that would set this machine leagues apart from others in similar price ranges and get rid of some annoyances. The machine makes great coffee, and I have ZERO REGRETS in buying it.

I spent a lot of time researching for the best espresso machine I could find without spending a fortune on a professional one. I am not dissatisfied with my purchase at all. It is relatively easy to use once you go through the initial learning of the operation and process. There’s so many different things to consider when trying to make espresso at home. I have found lots of tips and tricks on Reddit and YouTube which have helped a ton. Regardless this machine has been fantastic and if you are considering it be prepared to practice for awhile to get it right. The auto froth works well. If you’re just making a quick latte it suffices. If you’re trying for latte art, it’s not the greatest instantly but the more you practice the better you will get at it and learn tricks. Once again Reddit and YouTube for the win. After purchasing this and actually enjoying making at home its made my cost at coffee shops decrease substantially. Obviously the first month was mostly a lot of trial and error as I was learning and trying to figure it out. Buying different beans puts you back to the drawing board to get everything dialed in. But once your initially setup it’s easier to figure out. If you enjoy a quality coffee beverage this is a great choice. An average time for a latte to make and cleanup is typically 5min. So in comparison to a nespresso machine or keureg it takes a bit more time but you also get a lot better quality than coffee brewed through plastic cartridge. Only complaints I’d have on this machine would be that I wish there was an option to run a water line to it vs having to refill the tank. It’s got enough for several drinks but I like to preheat and run empty cycles for better results. Another thing that isn’t necessarily a problem is that you can only do one thing at a time. Meaning while your espresso is brewing you cannot froth your milk. Not something I thought would be an issue but now that I’ve learned and got it dialed in.. that would cut down on the average time. Other than those minor desires this thing is solid! Be prepared to spend a bit of time to get dialed in. The machine is not hard to use, it’s the different things that you have the ability to change to get it right to your taste. I grew frustrated cause I was making espresso just not good espresso. And at first I thought it was the machine, not the case. It was the settings I had changed for different coffee beans so it’s a science and variables to get it right. Some of those variables: Water hardness (set up with initial setup of machine), brew temp (automatic setting from factory but you can change it if needed), grind setting (on screen), internal grind setting (inside machine under hopper), coffee bean, portafilter temp, how hard you tamp the grind, etc. Some variables are standard variables with any espresso machine but when all the experience you have is a standard coffee pot and some Folgers it’s a learning curve.

This has been the best expresó machine that i have ever used. I love all the features that it has, it makes the perfect coffee every time. Weather you are looking for a strong coffee or just a regular late this machine does it all. I give it 5 stars every time and would buy it over and over again.

Bought this in February of 2024 and still using it! I’ve saved so much money just making my own coffee at home. I mostly use the espresso option, but every now and then I use the Americano as well to make coffee for my husband and his father-in-law. I find Dutch Bro recipes and try to replicate them, they’ve come out tasting just like the recipe each time! I normally order a small size iced Mexican chocolate mocha, with a shot of fireball, cinnamon soft top and cinnamon sprinkles from Dutch Bros. My order would cost $5.93 per cup (without tip). If I order this everyday for a year, that’s a total of $2,164.45 in one year. At the time of purchase, I bought this for a total of $1,098.44. Overall, I think it’s money well spent!

Almost been a year since I purchased it. This is such a beautiful and great quality coffee machine I’ve been having the best coffee every morning and evening :) so happy that I made the purchase.

I work as a barista at a cafe and our main industrial espresso machine went out and so we had to get a back up and this was way better than we thought it would be.. skip to our main machine was fixed and now we hate the original and prefer this one… jump too Christmas time. My husband loves coffee and man when our machine at home finally went out i saved up to get this one. I refused to buy any other one. This one just has everything you could need without buying extra to make it better. The built in grinder with adjustable size for your grind. Tamp being easily hidden yet accessible. The porta filter replacement pieces as well as the way it can keep you from makingg a mess. Its so simple and easy to use. The frother being able to leave it so you can have your milk frothing while you assemble your cup with your fresh shots of espresso. It’s perfect. We’ll surprised him with it and hes just as obsessed as i am. If youre thinking of buying it. DO IT! You wont regret it. Worth every penny.

Love this machine. Upgraded from a pod-based machine, and glad we did. It takes a bit of practice initially to dial in the technique of grinding, tamping, and extracting the espresso just right, but this machine makes it easy. There are several pre-programmed options (latte, cappuccino, etc), and you can save your own customized drinks as well. We bought a bottomless portafilter as well (with a wooden handle), so we have one that we keep a single shot basket and one with the double shot basket, as changing the baskets out constantly in a single portafilter can be quite a pain. Also, it looks great on the counter top, so that’s a bonus.

The Breville Barista Touch Espresso Machine is one of the best espresso machines on the market. It is easy to use, produces great coffee, and is built to last. I have been using this machine for over a year now, and I am still very impressed with it. One of the things I like most about the Barista Touch is that it is very easy to use. Even if you are a beginner, you will be able to make great coffee with this machine. The controls are simple and straightforward, and the machine has a built-in grinder that will grind your coffee beans fresh for each cup. The Barista Touch also produces great coffee. The espresso is rich and flavorful, and the milk froth is smooth and creamy. I have used this machine to make a variety of coffee drinks, including espresso, lattes, cappuccinos, and more. I have always been happy with the results. Finally, the Barista Touch is built to last. It is made from high-quality materials, and it is backed by a two-year warranty. I have had no problems with my machine in the past year, and I am confident that it will continue to work well for many years to come. Overall, I highly recommend the Breville Barista Touch Espresso Machine. It is an excellent machine that is perfect for home or office use. If you are looking for a high-quality espresso machine that is easy to use and produces great coffee, then the Barista Touch is the perfect choice for you.

I bought this machine after a lot of research, and I have no regrets. To be honest, it's hard to say I get the settings right every time — it's more accurate to say I'm still learning. If you're looking for a machine that gives you the exact same taste every time, this might not be the best choice. But if you enjoy experimenting and making coffee just the way you feel like on a given day, and you see the coffee-making process as part of the experience, I highly recommend it. As I mentioned, I'm still in the learning phase, but there have been moments of success, like the one in the photo. :)

This machine is a sleek, semi-automatic espresso machine that combines cafe quality performance and is user-friendly Its responsive touchscreen makes customizing drinks easy, letting you adjust grind size, milk texture, and temperature or save presets for quick brewing. A built-in burr grinder and ThermoJet heating system deliver fresh espresso quickly while the Auto MilQ steam wand produces silky microfoam for latte art or creamy cappuccinos. it's convenient with barista-level results at home without the steep learning curve.

It’s the ultimate best espresso machine I’ve ever owned. Trust me when I say that it’s well worth the money spent. You can make, espresso, Americano, Latte, and more. Totally awesome sauce!!!!

Best coffee maker ever created! I love to ability to created your own personalized recipes!

The brevelle has ruined me. I’m so used to an awesome cup of latte, when I’m away from home nothing compares to the great taste. It’s not cheap but it’s worth every dollar

I used to work as a barista in Europe. When I came to the US, I was looking for the perfect coffee for me, but I never found it. So the perfect way out of the situation was to brew the same perfect coffee myself thanks to the Breville coffee machine! I love it and the drinks it makes! Everything is very professional from the espresso shot to the texture of the milk! Thank you for such a wonderful product! I have been using it for more than half a year, I have not regretted this purchase for a single day! It is very easy to clean and maintain! Thank you Breville!

I couldn’t be happier with my Breville Barista Touch Espresso Machine! Best Buy made the entire process smooth, with excellent communication and fast, reliable delivery. Everything arrived in perfect condition, and I was impressed by their service. As for the machine—absolutely amazing! The 9 bars of pressure, milk frother, and integrated grinder make crafting espresso effortless. The quality is outstanding, and every cup tastes like it’s from a high-end café. I truly love this machine! If you’re passionate about great coffee, this is a must-have. Highly recommend!

Have been using since day one. Purchased on sale $800 was not sure if it was worth the purchase well it definitely was. Looks intimidating to use but It is actually fun and easy to use set up just as easy now its lattes all day everyday for me. And thank you breville for the free coffee beans voucher that was inside the box

I was a first a bit hesitant buying this appliance. I am not a coffee drinker myself and I had to go with the other reviews. I found that the other reviews were right! This machine is awesome! My wife and daughter have promoted me to be the house barista and I am even myself enjoying my own creations. I love customizing the recipes...its all so easy. This is now the fav appliance in our home. I bought this while on sale but even without the diacount this is totally worth the money. Operation is a breeze and cleaning is also super easy. Very well designed by Breville. Very much recommended.

I definitely love it, you can do any types of coffe that you want to!

I Love it! The coffee machine packs power and of the best quality.

Seriously, I don't know why I put this off for so long. It's perfect if you're just starting out with espresso machines. I've had it for a month, and I couldn't be more happier.
