🚀 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.


  • 3 Years Later, Still Going Strong
Color: Brushed Stainless Steel
I held off on writing a review for years because I saw someone saying that this machine lasts only around 2 years. This is totally not true. I purchased this Apr 17, 2017 and I am writing this Feb 16, 2020. So I'm just shy of 3 years. It still works perfectly. I have 5 years of barista experience and have worked with Nuova Simonelli and Rancilio machines and I love this machine. I've never had any issue with it at all. I was worried because my tap water is VERY hard. I was afraid that the insides would seize up after a while due to build up but nope. I'll also add that I'm kinda lazy. I don't descale it nearly as much as I should. I think I've only descaled it 5 times in the 3 years I've had it. I think what a lot of people struggle with is getting the settings right. Even if you've worked with espresso machines before, each one is a bit different and each type of bean is different. It took a bit of experimenting before I got the grinding coarseness, grind amount, and tamping pressure right; but once I did, it's so easy. So be patient, try different things and see what works for you. I love the power of the steam wand. You're actually able to get good microfoam. It takes longer than commercial machines but that shouldn't really be a surprise. It comes out hot, luscious, and creamy. Is this the best home espresso machine ever? Probably not. But unless you're a huge coffee snob and have tons of money to throw around, it's unbeatable at this price range. Some tips: >Don't use the auto grind dispensing setting. Not because it's inaccurate but because it will get messy as the heap of grinds tumbles down and over the edges of your portafilter. --> What I do is I set the auto dispense to a single shot with the amount only at about 1/3 of the way turned up. I auto dispense that base amount, take out the portafilter, gently tamp down the grinds a bit, then manual dispense grinds to my desired amount. This prevents a world of mess. What's the desired amount? That's up to what you're making and with what size filter you have on your portafilter. Single, double? --> As a general rule of thumb, on my final, full pressure tamp, I make sure the grinds are about 5mm down from the top. >How much grind you put in and how hard you tamped it will affect the pressure reached while infusing!! --> if your machine is not getting to "espresso range" pressures then don't assume it's broken! You might just not have put enough grinds in or tamped to the appropriate level. Getting it right may take some time. --> When you remove the portafilter after infusing, the "puck" of espresso grinds should come away in the portafilter and be easily disposed by tapping it (with a bit of force) on the edge of whatever grind receptacle you're using. If you get sludge when you remove, you did not put enough grinds in/tamp with enough pressure. --> If you're still struggling to get a good infusion, play with the grind coarseness setting. It's different for different beans! >RINSE after each use! Start up a single shot without a portafilter under for a few seconds then turn it off again. Having old grinds stuck on there is gross and affects the taste of your next espresso. --> Rinse out the milk steaming wand after use! Have a wet tea towel ready before you steam milk! Once you're done steaming IMMEDIATELY wipe down the wand (watch your hand! It's hot!) Otherwise, the milk will cook onto the wand and form a hard crust. Rinse the inside by turning it on while pointed at the tray for several seconds. >If you turn on the steam wand and it's not starting, don't panic. Be patient. Sometimes it takes a little bit longer to get going. --> If it's really not turning on, turn it off, then check the hole. It may be blocked up with the aforementioned cooked and crusted milk. They provide you with a handy tool to clear it! That's all for now. If I encounter any issues in the future, I will update this review to include details. ... show more

  • Review from a complete espresso novice.
Color: Black Sesame
To save some of you a bunch of reading, I'll cut to the chase first: I knew nothing about making good espresso drinks before buying this machine, and after a year and a half I still use it everyday, and I absolutely love it. A bit of background. I grew tired of the daily trips to the cafe for an espresso, and doubly so with the cost. Drink plus tip was usually around 10 dollars a day, at least 5 days a week. I wanted to make my own, but I knew absolutely nothing about extracting espresso, the machines, or any of the science-y stuff behind it. I did a TON of research on machines, as there is a fairly wide variety of options for the consumer. I was initially put off by the cost of some of the upper tier machines, but after some digging, and learning, I found The Breville Barista Express (BBE) which seemed to be a well made machine, with great reviews, but still pretty expensive for a "coffee machine". Of course, my perspective on that has changed considerably. Review! The machine is well made. I can say for sure that it's durable, and probably built to last longer than the parts inside of it. Fairly heavy, but perhaps more just given its shape, and how the weight is distributed. I, personally, like the aesthetic of the machine in black, so I chose the black model. At first glance and a once over, you'll notice that it's not a cheaply made product, and already begin to feel better about the cost. The control panel was more user-friendly than I had initially thought. I absolutely believe they had the novice in mind when designing the interface. Although the controls are pretty straightforward, and explained in the user manual, some people learn processes better by seeing rather than reading, and I'm one of those people. If you are also, Breville produced a series of how-to-use videos on their youtube channel, and I also believe they are on Breville's website as well. These videos are very to-the-point, and incredibly helpful learning the ins-and-outs of the various options on the machine. They absolutely give the end user plenty of support with regard to understanding how to use the machine. For people, like me, who knew nothing about espresso machines, it was nice SEEING the steps and process in real time. Customer Support is fantastic. After about 3 months of having it in the house, a large industrial staple found its way into the grinder. Presumably from a bag of beans. Tbh I'm not sure how it got in there. In any case, it messed up the grinder so bad that I had to send the machine into Breville for repair and service. I had called their number, and the CSR asked for some general details, and without any fuss, sent out return packaging, which I received in 2 days, I shipped it out the day I got the packaging, and my machine was returned to me, in working order, without cost, 7 days later. The machine isn't without shortcomings, but in my novice opinion, they're pretty minor. 1. The water reservoir is pretty small. 2. A second portafilter would be a terrific add. (bought a second on ebay) 3. Drip tray doesn't hold much. 4. Steam/hot water knob design could use improvement with a bit of leverage. (3rd party options) 5. Should come with a dosing cup that fits the portafilter (3rd party options) All in all, the machine is fantastic. I am by no means an expert, but my drinks are good enough to keep me from going to cafe everyday, and my wife also seems to enjoy them. One note for novices, this machine does simplify the process, but there is still some required learning you will need to do in order to get the best results out of this machine. It isn't hard, but will probably take you a half a bag of beans to really dial in, and get right. Cheers! ... show more
