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.


  • Good espresso, slight learning curve.
Color: Brushed Stainless Steel
Owned since Oct. 2017, no issues yet. Avg. of maybe 2 double espressos per day, steamed milk less often, so relatively low use. We have a whole-house water softener (and 5-stage RO filter for drinking water), so scale buildup is not an issue at all. I do run the cleaning tablet when the "clean me" light comes on. I did descale it once so far, but might not have been necessary (eg. our electric kettle doesn't build up any scale). We only use the non-pressurized filter baskets (tried the others, didin't see the point, harder to clean). My best advice for an easy and consistent "Italian café style" espresso is to get a can of Illy medium roast beans. Especially if you're new to making espresso (actually in this case you may want to start with a can of ground Illy -- still tastes great and takes one major step out of the equation, and you then know the desired coarseness for grinding your own). This gets me a great espresso every single time. With local roasts (we have several roasters in the area I'd prefer to support instead of Illy) I found it is much more finicky... can change from cup to cup, and definitely from batch to batch. While I've gotten some great espressos from locally-roasted sources, with interesting flavors, I've gotten way more poor shots. With the Breville and Illy I can make a better (IMHO) espresso than any of the local shops can manage... honestly. Mind you we live in a small college town. I guess most ppl drink frothed milk with a little coffee and don't really notice the espresso part. Don't try to grind a double all at once... a lot of it will overflow (wasteful and messy). I grind one shot, take the filter out, spread out the grinds and give it a couple taps on the counter to settle them, then grind the 2nd shot on top of that. Makes almost no waste or mess this way. I've found that the "half a double" grind amount is typically one click less than an actual single-shot grind (so eg. twice at 1 o'clock for double, once at 2 o'clock for a single). Also forget the metal "leveler" thing they include... it's silly. Spread the grinds out in the filter with a finger edge. If the double filter is full to the brim before packing, you're good to go. The single filter should be a little under full before packing. After packing either filter, the metal rim on the press should be even with the top of the filter (as shown in the manual). Hardest part is making sure you're not tilting the press while pushing down, as it is easy to get a "cockeyed" pack. Again, watching the metal rim of the press vs. the filter rim is a good way to check that. Low pressure can be a direct result of old beans -- really. Came home after a 2-week trip once and tried to make espresso with beans from an Illy can that had already been opened (and had made good coffee before trip). Couldn't get the pressure high enough, regardless of grind size or amount, or tamping. Even tried a cleaning. Opened fresh can of Illy, et voilá, good pressure again. I didn't find any other accessories necessary (except eventually some cleaning tablets). You will want something on the counter to put the filter on while packing (and banging it to settle grinds) -- a folded kitchen towel works well. The space under the filter allows for a wide variety of drinking vessels (whoever suggested using paper cups... really? Wasteful and ruins the taste IMHO). The grinder maybe isn't the best -- the grind is good. and can be set very fine, but would be better to grind based on weight instead of time. It's important that the beans are fed into the grinder consistently. Make sure they're spread out evenly in the hopper, and as someone else mentioned, tapping on the hopper while grinding may help (esp. if there aren't many beans in there). You can hear the grinder sound change when it is grinding beans vs. air. Regular cleanings help as well. This is not a great machine for serving a party of people. Unless they like cold coffee, or you serve them all individually as the coffees are ready... the first ppl you serve will be done by the time you serve yourself. It's fine for a couple of servings, but beyond that it starts to get awkward. Especially if they want steamed milk.... you'd want the double-boiler model for that at minimum. Overall very happy with this machine. I had never made my own espresso before owning it, but I certainly knew what I liked. This machine delivered, after a modest learning curve (and the Illy beans helped a lot). ... show more

  • Fantastic expresso machine!
Color: Brushed Stainless Steel
What I like: I've dove into reviewing different expresso machines this past several weeks. If you want the short version then this is it....The Breville Barista Express at $450 that I paid, is an absolutely fantastic machine. It makes a great expresso, it's easy to use, easy to clean. What I don't like: at this price, nothing really. Perhaps I wish the steamer wand is of no burn design. As is it gets hot and mild scorches on it with every use. You have to clean it with a wet towel with each use. Overall: My research into the best expresso machine led me from the POD based machines such as Nespresso, etc, to $9000 La Marzocco machines. First, the POD machines, especially the Nespresso ones, make a really good, consistent expresso. It's quick. It's pretty cheap. It's simple. It's easy to clean up. If this sounds good to you, stop and get a Nespresso Classic machine. If you want a great expresso, you have to go further. I find the expresso world is like the wine world. People taste all sorts of flavor such as nut, vanilla, etc in their expresso. I tried, but frankly I can tell if I like the expresso or not, but my palete is pretty average and those super refined flavors escape me. I'm the same with wine. If it taste good, it taste good. But I'm not able to locate which region the grapes came from. And frankly it doesn't matter. OK....the super expensive machines...the group 61 based machines go up to $4K easily. Others such as the La Marzocco machines go easily to $9k. And yes, they make a FANTASTIC expresso.....90% of the time. You have to be an artisan to really get the most out of these machines. If you don't get it just right, it's average at best. For the home owner, the Breville makes just below fantastic 99% of the time. The expensive machines are usually based on boilers, which takes 30 minutes to heat up. Their steam function is more powerful. They are well built and they look like art in your kitchen. But for an average person like myself, I can not make a better expresso on those machines than I could with the Breville. The Breville heats up in about 30 seconds. It's built in grinder is plenty good and is consistent. Once you get the finess of the grind, the amount of grind, and learn to tamp correctly, everything else is pretty much idiotproof. The machine pre-saturates the grind, then builds up to the appropriate pressure. I find the steam function more than adequate. At first I'm put off that the machine can't make the expresso and froth milk at the same time, but after using a friend's dual boiler, I don't think its a factor at all. The thought is that if you froth the milk while the expresso is brewing, then both will be done at the same time and nothing gets cold. Reality is that the 30 second it takes to change from expresso to frothing function, makes no noticeable difference in temperature to me. If you have lots of friends over and make multiple drinks, then the Breville Barista Express is a bit limited. This is because you make the expresso, change to steam for the milk, then when you change back to make another expresso you have to wait just a bit for it to cool down. If you do tend to make several expresso at a time, consider a dual boiler version of this machine or get the Delonghi version that also has the dual boiler function. In conclusion, I thought I had to spend thousands to get great expresso..this Breville is much more advanced in technology than thousand dollar machines, and makes better expresso most of the time. It's an unbelievable value at $450! ... show more
