Top Amazon Reviews

🚀 Abunda's Overview

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


The Breville Barista Express is a high quality, entry-level espresso machine that provides users with a comprehensive coffee-brewing experience. Despite having a learning curve and a few initial complexities, users have praised its excellent espresso brewing capabilities and have even called it 'top-notch.' Although they find the built-in grinder not as impressive and with limited range of adjustment, they affirm that this machine has the potential to offer coffee shop-quality espresso right at home once they get the hang of using it.

Pros

  • 👍 Professional grade espresso brewing ability
  • 👍 Excellent build quality and intuitive controls
  • 👍 Comes with useful features like a steam wand and hot water dispenser
  • 👍 Maintenance is quick and easy

Cons

  • 👎 Built-in grinder has a limited range of adjustment
  • 👎 One has to laboriously hand-feed the machine for consistency
  • 👎 Inherent popcorning of beans in the grinder leads to inconsistent quality
  • 👎 Machine doesn't allow simultaneous brewing and steaming

Should I Buy It?

If you're a coffee enthusiast and don't mind investing some time and effort to learn the machine, this Breville Barista Express could be a great choice for you. However, if you prioritize convenience and want a less hands-on experience, it may be worth considering other options from the Breville line or purchasing a separate grinder for better control and consistency.


  • great product, one of the best purchases if you drink coffee
Color: Brushed Stainless Steel
We have had the unit for 8 months now, it's been through 4 cleaning cycles (2 descaling, 2 normal backflow), so I've 'tested' out most of the possible functions it has. We like it, a lot. If it dies this year, it is probably a break-even so far based on the number of times we've used it vice buying from coffee shops. At $5 a cup, you have to buy at least 120 cups to even do a simple break-even. Of course, using milk/substitute and other items at home adds to this cost. Assume that you have to run 200 cups at home that you otherwise would have bought elsewhere, and you have basically done a break-even. If you drive to get to the coffee shop, and buy other things, then it may save you a lot of money sooner. In my opinion, this unit easily costs less than what we would have done within a year. The grinder seems to do a great job, and the dials to alter the size and amount, work well. I have had to clean it once since the grinds seemed to be working poorly, on Breville's recommendation, running rice through the unit, and then cleaning it (removing the screw from the top), helped. We have not tried other machines, having been satisfied with the reviews, and price, of this one as listed. So far, just great results. We tend to do espresso drinks each time, meaning we use the grinder, frother, and espresso for each drink. The machine would likely last longer with less maintenance needed if you just did espresso, and used preground beans (or had a separate grinder), most likely. Family of 2 (with kid), in general we probably push through 4-6 cups a day on average, and up to 9 max at times. If we have guests, maybe 10-12, but not often. While we would certainly have NOT been buying this many from the local brewhouse, the quality of the product is just great. We choose to use almond milk exclusively as our base, and we make it ourselves, so the quality of the milk will never be that of the rich and creamy milk frothed up, but it is still amazing. This machine does a great job of grinding, pushing hot water, and frothing, so we get a cup that literally is as good as we ever had anywhere, and with the quality we want. Most coffee shops, when they do have milk substitutes, use poor quality almond milk anyhow, and it affects the taste. If you haven't tried making your own almond milk, it's extremely easy - don't bother unless you buy good almonds from Spain or California. Soak them (called sprouting), then blend 1 cup almonds to 4 cups milk. Then strain through a nut milk bag (or cheesecloth), and add 2-3TB honey, vanilla bean, pinch salt, cinnamon). Blend. Some folks have gently heated the almond milk on a stove which helps thicken it a bit, and actually makes it more of a milk consistency than the 'almond juice' that you get by just straining. Lots of different options, and chefs are still coming up with ways to handle this. But frankly, after doing the almond milk thing, we will not use anything else. Some folks also add some coconut creme to the mix, and it also thickens things a bit. There are excellent non dairy and healthy alternatives out there, and they work shockingly well. We also pretty much gave up on buying beans from local brewhouses, we found the quality and taste not as good as we could do ourselves, so off we went and bought a small roaster (Fresh Roast SR700 Home Coffee Roaster), and frankly, this make the cycle complete - not only can we buy green coffee beans via amazon very cheaply, but we can also control how much we roast, and when we use them, making it a very turnkey and enjoyable experience. I advise also buying the Knockbox from Breville - this is a great add on and helps you control the waste from the Portafilter. Great tool/wastebasket, and helps you inadvertently throw your grinds into the drain, not good if you have a septic system either!! Agree with prior posters - use fresh beans, and consider roasting your own. The best bean we've found so far is the Colombian Huila (also sold on Amazon.com) - 5lb bag for $30 shipped. For about $6 a pound, you will have plenty of opportunity to find the roast level you want. Reason we like this particular bean (other than being available on amazon.com), when roasted to near or after second crack, it has a nice caramel/chocolate aftertaste to it. Not a bean expert here, but we've tried a dozen or so varieties, and for the price and availability, this is a really well priced and nice tasting bean. As mentioned before, we've done the local brewhouse roasted beans, and it's basically russian roulette, and we've yet to find an 'awesome' tasting bean from them. The breville has a multiple of ways you can alter the taste by changing the temperature, grind, and amount of water through the bean, but some beans just aren't suited for espresso, it seems. I'll let the experts deal with that - once we find one that is suitable, we work more on the base taste, which is mostly affected by the milk/milk substitute that you use, unless you are just doing straight shots of espresso. We like the machine so much, it's worth considering taking with you on travel if you have the power, and way to store your own milk at your location. And yes, we've been at places with in-room espresso machines like the Ritz, which has in-room espresso from Nespresso, to places that have full kitchens with a variety of machines, and places with club level places that have fully automatic machines. We continue to be underwhelmed with the quality and taste that most places do. Yes, we've been in Italy and had the best espresso/cappuccino's, and they can't be beaten due to the location, ambiance, etc. This machine does a bang up job of that without the expense of travel - lol. Frankly, Breville has provided a cost point and quality machine that is hard to beat. Other than my calling for help on a small grind question/issue, I have had no service issues yet. From other posters, if there are substantial issues that start to creep up after the 1 year mark, it's kind of a cost tradeoff to consider paying $250 for a repair, or just buying a new one. I guess there is also a warranty you can buy if bought through Amazon, that goes up to 4 years, so that may be an option to keep it running longer, and truly have cost savings for many years to come. ... show more

  • The Breville Barista Express: An Excellent Choice for Espresso Beginners
Color: Brushed Stainless Steel
As an aspiring home barista, I was seeking an espresso machine that could provide a high-quality brew without a steep learning curve. After extensive research, I landed on the Breville Barista Express, and I can confidently say it has exceeded my expectations. At a sale price of $550, the Barista Express represents a reasonable investment for those looking to elevate their coffee game. Compared to many other semi-automatic machines on the market, this Breville model provides an exceptional value. Aesthetically, the Barista Express is a real winner. Its sleek, stainless steel design seamlessly fits into any kitchen, blending in beautifully with surrounding appliances. The compact footprint also makes it easy to find a home on the countertop without dominating the space. But the true star of this machine is its functionality. As other reviewers have noted, the ability to grind beans directly into the portafilter and then pull espresso shots is remarkably convenient and fun to experiment with. The grind size adjustment allows you to fine-tune the extraction to your personal preferences, providing a level of customization that is rare at this price point. Possibly the most impressive aspect of the Barista Express, however, is its durability. I have been using this machine 4-5 times per week for the past 12 months, and it has held up remarkably well. There have been no issues or malfunctions, instilling a strong sense of confidence that this was a worthwhile investment. Overall, the Breville Barista Express is an excellent choice for espresso beginners looking to take their coffee game to the next level. With its appealing design, intuitive features, and proven reliability, this machine is well worth the $550 price tag. Highly recommended for those seeking a gateway into the world of home espresso making. ... show more
