    Yummy!!!! With my leash tightened, and findng myself home more and at the coffee shop, well, NEVER, it seemed like a fancy espresso maker might be just the ticket for an improved attitude. I was right! Never underestimate the power of espresso. This machine makes coffee that is better than the shops. It supplies entertainment with friends (distanced coffee on the front porch) and an instant upgrade to any home base. YES. Foam too! Lick-your-lips good!

    Absolutely love it! I’ve been on the fence and searching for the best model and this fits the bill! A few friends recommended the brand & model and it had great reviews. I even read an article listing top 10 and this was at the top of the list. Easy to use. I finally realized to not use the suggested coffee measurements when doing a double shot. Just add extra and tap tap tap. Very important for achieving the correct pressure.

    I love this machine. It's super simple to learn how to use, is easy to clean, and makes delicious drinks. I usually make an Americano, which takes me about 4 minutes from start to finish. Grinding the coffee before every cup really does make a huge difference in the taste! The only thing I was a little bummed about is that it came with a dent on the front panel and we did not feel comfortable going into the store to exchange it. The knock box accessory is a must have!

    Pros: Incredibly delicious Learning curve is not as steep as most reviews say. Consistency Cons: Grinder doesn’t feed perfectly every time with some types of beans Grinder could be big enough to fit one bag, it’s just a hair shy Water tank could be bigger Drip tray fills quickly Love it and it set a new standard (a stupid high one) for coffee at home. The price is expensive but if it saves you 3 cups at Starbucks per week that’s about a $14 savings. It pays for itself over time.

    BEST PURCHASE EVER

    One of the best purchases to date. Small learning curve to get the shot and frothed milk just right, but after a few tries, it might be my favorite coffee. Once it pays for itself, it’s going to save us a ton of money with how much lattes cost nowadays. Can’t say enough about this all in one espresso machine. Purchase and you won’t regret it!

    This was a great addition to my kitchen and daily life. So easy to use and very little to clean. I look forward to my delicious americano drink every morning. Everyone in my family also enjoys the process of making it. It is very fun to be able to make a professional cup of coffee in your own kitchen whenever you want it!

    This machine is so amazing we stopped going to Starbucks. This is my 2nd Barista Express machine. The first machine lasted over 5 years with daily use of at least 10-15 cappuccinos per day.

    So I have only owned the product just over a month now. I extremely happy with it. I would consider this kinda a low end model at a price of around 750-1000$ making good espresso even with a great machine has to do with a lot of things. Coffee amount grind etc… the problems I had with making a great cup of espresso was operator error not the machine. I’ve got the thing dialed in after several different YouTube videos. This is an awesome maker . I did a lot of research, it’s not the best but as far as quality and price point it’s a 10 in my book. I would purchase again even if it breaks down tomorrow cause I bought the extended warranty.

    I love this machine. Getting the perfect shot is easy once you understand the process, but I highly suggest watching a few videos on the machine to understand what each part does and why it's important to prep your puck. My only complaint is the steamer- it takes a while to get going and awhile to steam your milk. But it still will turn out great.

    Breville Barista Express review

    I love this expresso machine. It produces an excellent tasting expresso. The correct pressure of the extraction can be controlled by how fine the bean grind, and also how hard I pack the ground beans. In other words, I am able to make the perfect expresso. The frother works very well also. This is my second purchase of this model. The first one lasted about 5 years until the pump began to fail. But that was after thousands of expressos... This is not a fully automatic machine in that you have to pack and then discard the puck. But I prefer it that way as I have much more control and can generally make a stronger expresso than with a fully automatic machine. Also this machine is vary attrctive on the countertop.

    the best Espresso Machine

    I've bought the second machine for my son. This is the best Espresso Machine I have ever used. I've been using it for about five years. We drink 5-10 cups of late every day and it works with no issue. Usually we make coffee with Lavazza Qualità Oro coffee beans and whole milk but sometimes we drink decaffeinated coffee and this machine allows you to use ground coffee as well. Finally it has everything you need to make delicious coffee.

    Love It. It took a few days to find "my" preferred settings. Now my espresso is better than any I can buy in any cafe around here. The machine heats in seconds. You must follow the instructions precisely to get the best results...pre-infusing hot water through the portafilter and steam wand, etc. I use Intelligentsia Black Cat Classic Espresso...delicious.
