🚀 Abunda's Overview

This is our summary and key points to consider based on customer reviews.


The Breville Barista Express is a popular espresso machine that offers a host of features usually reserved for commercial coffee machines. People who are fond of this machine appreciate its all-in-one brewing system, easy maintenance, and high-quality espresso brewing capabilities. However, a consistent critique was about the built-in grinder where it seemed to lack consistency and would make the brewing process longer than it should be.

Pros

  • 🌟 Comprehensive all-in-one brewing system relying on fresh beans for quality espresso.
  • 🌟 High-quality espresso brewing allowing for the creation of a variety of coffee drinks.
  • 🌟 Easy maintenance and customer-friendly features.

Cons

  • 🔻 The built-in grinder has inconsistent results, affecting the quality of the brew.
  • 🔻 Steaming and brewing cannot occur simultaneously, leading to slower brewing process.
  • 🔻 The espresso machine is high maintenance and requires regular cleaning and decaling.

Should I Buy It?

If you are looking for an all-in-one espresso machine that offers great value for money, the Breville Barista Express is a reasonable choice. However, if you are after a quicker brewing process or want less maintenance, you might want to consider other options. Otherwise, keep in mind that buying a separate, more reliable grinder could greatly elevate your coffee experience with this machine.


  • Worth Every Penny for Daily Coffee
Color: Brushed Stainless Steel
Pros: • Excellent espresso quality • Built in grinder works great • Steam wand makes solid lattes • Durable and reliable over time Cons: • Takes a little practice to dial in your perfect shot I’ve had this machine for over a year now, and it has been amazing. The espresso quality is consistently great, and the built in grinder makes the whole process convenient. Once you dial in your grind size and amount, it pulls really solid shots. The steam wand works well and has allowed me to learn how to make my own lattes at home. It honestly feels like a small skill I’ve picked up along the way. On top of that, it has significantly cut down on my coffee shop spending, which adds up quickly. It does take a little time to learn and maintain, but once you get the hang of it, it’s absolutely worth it. Overall, a reliable machine that delivers quality coffee every day. ... show more

  • Best Entry-level Home Espresso Machine
Color: Brushed Stainless Steel
I absolutely love this machine. With as many lattes as I drink, this will easily pay for itself within a year, inclouding the cost of beans, milk and cleaning products. Notes: Make sure to keep up with all the regular maintenance. Ever day after I've made my coffee, I wipe the steam wand, purge it, then wipe again. Make sure to get into all the crevices around the tip and you'll never need to use the pin to clean out the tip. Once I've done that and poured my steamed milk, I purge the showerhead by pulling one shot into the empty mug (no filters). This keeps the showerhead clean of coffee debris and keeps the coffee tasting pure. REMEMBER TO CHANGE YOUR WATER FILTERS. The filters should be changed every 60 uses or 2 months, whichever comes first. This wolill reduce how often you need to descale the machine, prolong it's useful life and provide better tasting coffees. You will still need to descale the machine every so often. The manual included is very helpful for keeping up with the maintenance (as well as pulling shots, making drinks and other useful tips) and you can also find instructions on their website should you misplace the manual. Gold tone makes pretty inexpensive replacement filters specific to this machine and they're available here on Amazon. I use them and am pretty happy with the results. Do not let the water run out. Ever. This could cause serious damage to the machine. If you forget once or twice, you'll probably be just fine but check the water reservoir at least 1-2 times per week. Clean the machine parts at least once a week. You may need to empty and rinse the drip tray 1-2 times a week (depending on frequency of use) but take it out and hand wash at least once a week. This is a good time to wash the tools and tool bin as well. Also, dont forget to take the coffee filters out of the portafilter and wash those as well. Over time, residue can build up underneath there. Also, the spouts in the portafiler twist off so you can clean them better. Clean out your parts, get in those crevices regularly and you'll be just fine. Don't forget to clean the hopper and grinder. You should clean it out every time you switch to a new bean or at least every few pounds of coffee. The instructions in the manual are pretty easy and straight forward. I also use a clean, dry towel to wipe any remaining coffee and oils from both the grinder parts and the hopper. Do not wash in warm water as you could risk it not drying well and rusting or not being lubricated enough and over heating. Just use the included brush and clean, dry paper towels. You could also vacuum out residual coffee from the grinder to assist in cleaning, but I don't usually need to. Also, remember that the stainless exterior is stainless plating. This means it can wear over time and not look as nice. The best way to handle this is to wipe it down with a damp cloth (once daily then more detailed once a week) and follow it up by drying it with a clean towel. This will prolong the exterior appearance. Also during your weekly cleaning, be sure to look under where the coffee and steam come out and clean around there. Milk, coffee and residue steam can splatter and build up so be sure to clean it as well. The weekly cleaning sound intensive but really takes maybe 5 minutes. Common issues: Keep in mind certain o-rings will need to be replaced over time. This is noted by Breville in the manual and on the website. There are two main places where you need to replace these: around the tip of the portafilter (where the spouts connect) and where the portafilter connects to pull shots. Another common issue is that the machine will make a loud "buzzing" sound and/or leak water out of the bottom of the machine. This is a common issue and, when it does occur, usually happens around 6 months to a year. This generally occurs due to a broken solenoid valve. If your product is still under warranty, take a video and contact their customer service. Maybe suggest it's a solenoid valve and they are usually very good about fixing or replacing the machines and parts. If it is no longer under warranty and they will not resolve the issue (because sometimes they still will after the warranty period), there are many repair services that can fix this. If you are especially handy and brave enough to fix it yourself, you can usually find the replacement parts fairly cheaply online (not just the valve, but really ANY part that may need to be replaced). Again, if it's still under warranty do not go this route, as it will void any existing warranty. Also, if you don't know what you're doing, you could do more damage than good. All-in-all, this is an amazing machine for this price point. There is a reason this machine is so popular and highly rated. There's a lot of customization available to you and it is a very good quality machine. I would not suggest any product below this machine and price point for your first machine as you'll likely be very disappointed in the results. Eventually you may want to upgrade to a more robust multi-thousand dollar machine, but this is great for the majority of consumers and is super user friendly. Use higher quality beans directly from the roasters and learn how to use the machine and make drinks and you'll be very happy with it. The quality is truly amazing for such a low cost espresso machine. Side note: Whole Latte Love on YouTube is a great resource for additional reviews, tips and tricks and maintenance for this machine (and many more). It's also a great resource on how to pull shots, steam milk, pick types of milk and make many different types of drinks when you're just starting out or want to up your coffee game. ... show more

  • Works Flawlessly and Worth Every Penny
Color: Brushed Stainless Steel
The Breville Barista Express has been fantastic for me. It works flawlessly right out of the box and feels very well built. There’s a lot to learn with it, but once you get the hang of it, it’s extremely rewarding. I mostly use the double wall cup for my coffee when I’m not using the built-in bean grinder, and it produces consistently great espresso. The controls are intuitive, the steam wand works well for frothing milk and getting it hot, and cleanup is straightforward. It’s definitely an investment, but for anyone serious about making quality coffee at home, it’s worth every penny. A really solid machine that makes morning coffee something to look forward to. That storage bin that goes behind the drip tray is kind of annoying though since it gets splashed from the steam and boiler drip. ... show more

  • Lasted over 6 years
Color: Brushed Stainless Steel
I bought this in January 2020 and it lasted until late February 2026. The Breville became part of my life literally every day for six years. All my friends and family would come over and love the espressos I would serve. Pros: Absolutely delicious espresso came out every time. Very easy to use. Once I did my research and found out what numbers it should be every cup was perfect (coffee grind amount at like 1o’ clock and coffee grind at level 5). It hit the right infused section every time. The water tank was perfect. Filter would keep the water clean. The cleaning process was very easy. I love the hot water spout. Making tea was so easy thanks to the Breville. I didn’t need a kettle anymore. It fit nicely at the corner of my kitchen. Cons: Nothing is perfect, so there were very little issues. The bottom water tank would fill up fast. If you make coffee without the bottom basket water would spill everywhere. That’s probably why they included the basket in the first place. But half your water tank would be wasted in the basket for pressure, I guess. Cleaning the spout was always annoying. I think it’s just cuz I hate cleaning, especially when the spout was hot. The water tank also had a circle monthly calendar to remind you when to change the filter. But it was super stuck and never moved. ... show more
