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.

This 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. ... show more

I 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. ... show more

Color: Black Sesame
Its 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. ... show more
