- Reviewed in the United States on August 12, 2024Color: Brushed Stainless SteelVerified PurchaseI did a lot of research before deciding on this brand and model, but I've been so impressed from the very beginning. It took some time to tune in (as will any espresso machine), and as a complete novice learning on this machine, I had my frustrations, but the machine is so intuitive and there are so many helpful videos out there I quickly got the hang of it. The grinder seems excellent (given it doesn't cost hundreds on its own), everything you need comes in the box (and good quality accessories too), and it's just such a perfect little home use espresso maker when you're not trying to churn out lots of coffees back to back (given the single motor, you can't steam milk while pulling a shot, so not nearly as fast as the commercial or more expensive machines if you want efficiency in making lots of coffees, but that's not my use case). I love how tunable the machine is yet how automated it can be if you choose so (don't have to time your shots, etc.). For home use a few times a day, I really can't say enough good things about how perfect this machine is, especially at such a relatively affordable price point compared to the other highly rated options out there.
That said, I'm about 16 months in to ownership and it started to act up. I ran the clean, and then the descale, and just generally tried some troubleshooting, and I kept having intermittent issues. But I knew from reviews that this is generally a long lasting machine and this shouldn't be anywhere near end of life for it (or it wouldn't be getting nearly this good of a review from me). Some people said Breville was helpful, even after the warranty period, so I did some research, though I identified which component may be going bad, and reached out to see if they would send me a replacement part. To my utter amazement, they instead sent me the packaging to ship my machine to them and have it repaired at no cost to me months past the end of my warranty. Huge kudos to Breville; this further confirms what I believed, that this product should last for years and Breville stands by the quality of their product.
Seriously, making coffees for one household? Not a professional barista? Just love good coffee and want to be able to make that consistently? This is the one.
- Reviewed in the United States on May 1, 2014Color: Black SesameVerified PurchaseIts been a month since I have bought this machine. I have not worked every coffee making device out there but I have operated and tasted many. I had just lost my Deloghni magnifca super automatic machine after seven years of use. It was a pretty good machine for being a super automatic. But I have craved to get a real espresso machine and do a proper cappuccino. I have used french presses, Vietnamese phins, drip, siphon, and single serve kuerigs. Being in the Pacific NW you would except awesome cafe's everywhere, and you would be wrong. To get a good barrista that knows what they are doing, is slim to none. So with the exit of my super auto, I shopped for a good one. I kept coming back to the breville. Only knocks it was really getting was that breville was Australian and new to the game. I took the plunge and bought it, and I do not regret it.
So the good:
It comes with its own grinder. It not the best, but then again its no slouch. It can be taken apart and cleaned. My super never did that. What this means is that as you build up grounds on the Burr, you can pull it apart easily and clean it. It has a hopper that you can remove and place unused beans back in its container, that is just awesome, you can make decafe then switch to a new bean. A reviewer gave a good tip that when you first run it, start at the coarse then work it to fine when you start to grind, good advice. I word of caution from me, every different roast of bean will be a new setting for the machine. If you use a oily bean, then you might have to clean the burr a lot in order to get that fine grind. Also be prepared to go through a lot of coffee to figure out the right setting to get that perfect cup.
Temperature control. You can decrease or increase the temperature by 4 degree's, in 2 degree increments. Doesn't sound like much, but it can change the taste of your espresso.
Easy to program grind amount, and shot times.
It has a gauge to measure the pressure as it goes through the port a filter. It is a nice touch to be able to tell how things are working, several high price machine you have to feel it out and guess, this you can tell right away if something went wrong and you can adjust.
The steam wand is easy to use, the switch on the side is okay, my super did have a better control knob that you could control the amount of steam that came out, but this one is slow enough that its not that bad to operate.
Clean up is a snap, I really enjoy the fact that I can easily and quickly clean it up.
It has a water filter, where I live we have a high concentration of hard water, so having a second filter to go through is nice.
Parts. Breville has all the parts you can buy to fix your machine if they go out or need replaced. I am talking about new port a filters, rings, hoppers, water reservoirs, ect.
It is pretty, looks really good, makes you want to drink coffee.
The things that are not so nice:
You will go through a lot of coffee. This is most true when you first get the machine and try to figure out how to run it. There is a couple of way things can go down. 1) you drink every cup you make, I suggest you do this alone. Anyone around you will worry you are on something because you will be running at a 1000 mph on that much caffeine, no matter what your tolerance is. You will be wondering why everyone around you is moving so slow. 2) invite people over and watch there reaction to find out well you are doing on making that espresso.
Mess from the grounds. It has a tray, but for some reason my grounds always seem to go further then the tray. I placed a small dish under the grinder it that keeps it contained and its easily cleaned. You can also fill the port a filter, tamp, then fill a little more until you reach the proper level. I place a paper towel down and do the tamp on that, it catches the grounds that fall when tamping.
Don't expect a piping hot cup of joe. You can get it hot enough, by following their suggestions. I poor hot water in my cup before and do a single shot on a empty port a filter, that seems to do a good enough job.
My latte art is of clouds, mushrooms, cotton balls. I believe that is my malfunction though.
Overall, for the price (especially now) and the quality of espresso I am getting, its the top choice. Is it the best machine out there, no. But if you can afford those then I am not sure why you are reading things on amazon. Try different beans, they will taste different from what you are used to, each type will need different techniques to get the right pull. The Seattle best coffee bean, I only need to lightly tamp, the Vietnamese Civet I have to really press hard to get to the right tamp. I will trying several others as I go along, but I think that's the best part of this machine. And to the few people ( there is other things I would call you) about the California restrictions, in the manual it does say that the parts on the machine that does come in contact with coffee or water is BPA Free and there is no parts that will make you grow a third limb, unless you already have one. If you read the blasted bill you might figure out what it actually is saying, Anything with a grinder or power cord falls in this warning. I don't know about you, but I am not grinding bits of plastic in my coffee, and I am not sucking on the power cord, but if that's what you want to do, go for it.
For me, this has been a awesome buy, thank you for reading.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 2, 2024Color: Brushed Stainless SteelVerified PurchaseThis is an incredible product because it's easy to use and conveniently sized. Its attractive design adds a touch of elegance to my kitchen. The quick heat-up time is impressive and the espresso flavor it delivers is simply superb. One of the best features is the milk frother - it works like a charm. And let's not forget about the precise grind settings, which allow me to get my coffee just the way I like it. In short, it's a fantastic espresso machine that's worth every penny.

5.0 out of 5 stars La mejor opción para empezar un negocio o para casa
Color: Brushed Stainless SteelVerified PurchaseThe media could not be loaded.
Tengo otras cafeteras profesionales de uno y dos grupos a las qué esta Barista express no le pide nada, sobre todo por el precio.
Para empezar hace una muy buena molienda, ajustable por supuesto, y la extracción es rápida y muy eficiente.
En espresso esta listo en 45 segundos desde la molienda. Es fácil de usar, limpiar y dar mantenimiento.
Yo la uso principalmente para espresso ya qué la parte del espumador debo decir que si es bastante lenta.
En conclusión la recomiendo ampliamente y si vas a hacer capuchino, te recomiendo un espumador aparte.

5.0 out of 5 stars Transform Your Coffee Game: One-Month Review of the Breville Barista Express
Color: Black SesameVerified PurchaseIf you're considering upgrading your coffee routine, the Breville Barista Express is absolutely worth it. After one month of daily use, I can confidently say this machine delivers café-quality results right in the comfort of your home.
Design & Build Quality:
The build quality not only looks stunning but also feels premium and durable. It’s compact enough to fit neatly on my countertop yet substantial enough to showcase its quality. Every detail—from the pressure gauge to the built-in tamper—feels thoughtfully designed for usability.
Ease of Use:
This machine strikes the perfect balance between control and convenience. As someone new to making espresso at home, I was pleasantly surprised at how quickly I got the hang of it. The intuitive dials let me adjust grind size, dose, and shot volume to suit my taste. The built-in grinder is a game-changer, producing consistent grinds that make a noticeable difference in the flavor.
Performance & Flavor:
The espresso this machine pulls is exceptional—rich, smooth, and always topped with a gorgeous layer of crema. Whether I’m making a quick shot or crafting a latte, the results have been consistently amazing. The steam wand is powerful and precise, creating silky microfoam perfect for latte art. My morning routine has gone from ordinary to extraordinary.
Maintenance:
Maintenance is easy, with removable components like the drip tray and water reservoir. The machine even reminds you when it’s time for a cleaning cycle, which keeps everything running smoothly without the guesswork.
Final Verdict:
The Breville Barista Express has been a fantastic investment. In just one month, it has elevated my coffee experience and saved me money I used to spend at cafés. If you’re a coffee enthusiast or just looking to treat yourself, this machine is a must-have.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great espresso machine with built-in grinder for the money.
Color: Brushed Stainless SteelVerified PurchaseI've had this almost two years now, so I figured it was time for a proper review.
If you don't want to read my in depth review but just my quick opinion and are in the market for a semi-automatic espresso maker (with grinder!), you can't beat this machine for the money it costs (especially here compared to a department store). It comes with a satisfactory grinder (anything better itself will cost you hundreds of dollars on its own), and an easy to use (and learn) espresso maker which makes good espresso, latte's, etc. (assuming you don't use garbage beans of course). Its been nearly two years and I've yet to have a problem and still works just as good as it did the day I got it.
I'll start with the cons, because there aren't many and they are very minor, picky issues.
The grinder: I find the size setting to be slightly misleading. I'd assume you could use the full range of grind sizes, but anything less than a 4 you'll have trouble pulling a shot with the proper pressure. Over time I've found I've needed to reduce the grind size more and more, but that could be to poor (lack of) regular cleaning habits because I'm lazy.
The pressure gauge. There's an "espresso range" on it which you may think anywhere in that is OK. Its not. To get a good pull you'll need to make sure it starts around at least "12:30" and ideally about "1:00" if you treat it like a clock (pointing straight up would be 12:00). Once you get a feel for the grind and how much tamp pressure to use, you'll be able to do this with regular ease after a couple weeks of use (assuming you mainly stick with one type of espresso).
The port-a-filter. Its not standard sized so it may be hard to replace. No big deal. Those interested in this probably have more "professional" machines anyways and aren't in the market for this.
Now onto the good things:
If you've never used a steam wand before, this is probably a good machine for you. Enthusiasts may say its not good or powerful enough, but its great to learn on. Its not a "double boiler" machine where you can froth milk and do the espresso at the same time, but for starter home use its great. Those double boiler machines start at 2-3 times the price of this. If you only make lattes for yourself a couple times a day (like me), its perfect. Because its doesn't use a boiler, its a little slower. That actually makes it EASIER to make perfect milk for the novice (also like me!). By the time I'm done making a latte, I've probably spent about 3 minutes. That's about 6 minutes out of my day which is quicker than waiting forever at st*rb*cks for something worse.
The grinder: Its built in. Enough said. Clean it out once in a while and you'll be fine.
Making espresso: You can adjust the temperature within 4 degrees of 200f (the factory setting). Adjust according to your taste and beans you are using (I'm not an expert, there's a ton and probably too much info out there on the subject). I keep mine at 202 as it brings out slightly better flavor for the standard bean I use. If you're using relatively fresh coffee beans, you shouldn't have much trouble pulling a decent shot.
Maintenance/cleaning: its easy to use the cleaning cycle. Don't buy the cleaning tabs or descaling solutions. Buy Cafiza tabs as they will cost you a fraction of what the Breville ones cost for regular cleaning. Dezcal can be bought for descaling also with the same cost difference. The drip tray is dishwasher safe (top shelf). I put mine in about every two weeks. In between that, I give it a good rinse when the tray is full to get rid of any grime that may have built up.
If I get 2 more years out of this, I'll be extremely happy. I've already gotten back my return on investment.
