This product has been making outstanding espresso coffee, latte, cappuccinos, etc. When you try it once no other coffee will taste the same. Product is easy to use but you will need to get some practice in order to make a prefect coffee cup.
-the system is all manual so you will need to steam milk, grind coffee and press the grinder coffee. Sounds a lot to do but which practice will only take 3min to have a perfect coffee
-when you use the coffee maker make sure to descale, and clean frequently to avoid the calcium buildup

Bought this for my girlfriend who LOVES her espresso and I love saving money and this machine has helped me do just that. It’s very beginner friendly and makes great espresso even when you aren’t very adept at puck prep. Would 100% recommend for somebody looking to get into coffee making

Every morning I make 2 coffee drinks, one for me and one for my wife. A Caramel Latte and an americano, takes less than 5 minutes. Took a few days to dial in the grinder and dose, but it came with appropriate tools to adjust the grounds to the correct dose. I highly recommend this, I have completely forgotten about Starbucks, and save $15 every day. The ROI on this machine will only take a few months, and I’m excited about that.

This is great for all coffee lovers. Ita an investment, but it has virtually eliminated my trips to buy coffee. I can make peetty much everything I was buying at home. I definitely recommend watching YouTube videos prior to using to get used to it, but the info cards were really helpful to start with. I would recommend this for any coffee lover.

This is a wonderfully designed machine. They thought of every detail. If you are an Expresso drinker this is a must have. Recommend the set up machine if you dont want to worry about the preaaure ypu have to put on tamper. But this baseline machine is well designed and elegantly sophisticated simplicity. Ease to clean, use, and quality

i've been really enjoying this machine! it makes espresso that tastes exactly like my local coffee shop. the only problem i've had is every now and then the shots dont come out. like a few drops are made and that's it. it might just need to be cleaned, and it dosent happen often but something to note. i wish it came with shot glasses too. mugs are too tall to be put under the espresso dispenser. Great product for the price:)

Breville Barista Express - Great quality, not easy

Espresso machines are expensive, period. If you want the best basic one, go with this Breville Barista Express. It does all the basics for being able to make really good cafe style espresso drinks (much better than starbucks!) The only downside is that you have to learn how to dial in coffee beans and steam milk, which comes with a lot of practice. So this is not the easiest to use of machines. But the more automated ones are much more expensive. Great quality, though, and looks great on the kitchen counter, too.

Avoid the Breville Barista Express at All Costs

Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.
This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
The Breville Barista Express is an absolute disaster. The built-in grinder, which should be the heart of any espresso machine, is so poorly made it's laughable. It's not a question of if it will fail, but when. In my case, it failed repeatedly, even after two separate repairs. This isn't just inconvenient; it's unacceptable for a machine that's supposed to be "barista-grade."
What's worse is Breville's non-existent customer service. They seem to think it's okay to sell a faulty product and then ignore customers when it inevitably breaks down - which has happened multiple times but the companies 'customer service' refuses to do anything!! In order to get service they require you first clean the machine (which requires fully disassembling it, vacuuming every nook/cranny, and running a LOT of coffee beans through the grinder for testing) before they'll set up "service" (which today, the agent told me all they'll do is clean it - they wont replace parts!) Keep in mind this issue started within the first year I owned it! I've been left with a useless, expensive hunk of metal on my countertop, and Breville couldn't care less!!
In short, the Barista Express is a complete waste of money! You might be thinking to yourself "oh its the holidays Its on sale" but dont waste your money!! Instead, save up for a couple of years and buy an actual Barista Grade machine from another company. This one is a poorly designed product from a company that doesn't stand behind it. Save yourself the headache and avoid Breville altogether!!

This is an all in one espresso machine! I got it to start out with and planned to upgrade later but it works so well I’m not planning on upgrading anytime soon. Everything you need to start pulling perfect espresso shots, you won’t buy another coffee!

This has been the best investment I’ve made. It’s easy to set up and easy to use. Cleaning it is simple. Being able to customize the coffee grinds has made making espresso easy. It’s also fun to make my favorite drinks like lattes. Would recommend it to anyone who drinks lattes, americanos any other espresso drinks. Also comes with a guide to show you how your shots should pull so that you can experiment with it if you want.

Absolutely in love with my Breville! I drink 2-3 espressos a day and definitely has paid off my visits to Starbucks on a daily. I still love Starbucks but will now only purchase on travel times. Breville has me awake on a daily with the quality of my espresso coffee’s
