Should I Buy It?
Yes. If you're looking for a versatile espresso machine that combines functionality and style, delivering professional quality drinks at home, the Breville Barista Pro is an excellent choice. It's ideal for those who appreciate the process of making their espresso and are willing to learn. With its durability and cost-saving potential over time, it represents a worthwhile investment for coffee enthusiasts.
Our Breville Barista Pro delivers the best shot/s of espresso I've come across, at home or outside the home. I only make double shots using 16gm of ground coffee as more than that doesn't appeal to me. In Italy, an 8gm shot is the norm, never a double. But, there is the single shot basket/s that come with the Pro, but really, they don't work as well as the double shot basket. It all has to do with the shape of the basket to a large degree. We are 9 months into our use of the Pro. So far, everything is working well, though I do not use the steaming wand. Only one of us wants an occasional cappuccino so we let a separate milk foaming gadget do that chore. So, no latte art here, just great espresso! I do follow the regular maintenance as described in the owner's manual. Very important if you want the machine to performs at its best. So easy to clean the drip tray compared to previous machines we've had over the years. And the mirror polished stainless steel is easy to keep that way with regular wipe downs. The internal, Baratza grinder is fantastic and also, keep it cleaned on a monthly to bi-monthly basis using Grindz pellets. I'm not super fast, but I can have a double shot of espresso ready to enjoy in about 4 1/2 minutes from startup to finish. Not bad! As far as the coffee I use, well, I'm also a do-it-yourselfer in that regard. I roast green coffee beans to just about city roast to city roast plus. Usually my espresso beans, when finished roasting, develop just a tiny speck of oil on the surface of the bean. Nothing you would consider oily and shiny though. The resulting pull is nothing but silky, delicious espresso. I don't understand all the horror stories people have been experiencing with their purchased Barista Pro's unless they have been purchasing from shady retailers. I have nothing but praise for the Barista Pro. I will update this review occasionally to keep a running review/useage experience for all to see. Yes, I would say the Breville Batista Pro is a good value and I highly recommend it.

I have had my Breville for 2.5 years and overall it has been a great experience. The machine is very easy to use - a beginner can make an excellent latte in minutes - but you can also play with various features to suit your particular espresso and latte style. I especially like how this machine heats up immediately - no waiting for coffee! Want it now? You got it! NEW feature - the small funnel that comes with it now keeps all the grounds in when. it comes out of the grinder so no mess - fabulous! How am I able to compare the new machine with the slightly older one? Well . . . I have been very happy with this machine . . until just recently - I cannot tell a lie - we had a rocky spell, Breville and I. But as they came thru for me I the end, I have raised my review back up to a 5. technically, due to the fact that it happened, perhaps I should have put a 4.5, but that isn't possible. What happened was my machine just stopped working. I called support and the representative did a video chat with me to try to fix it on the spot. It was great that they could run me thru the different "fixit things" to try right over the phone, but eventually it became obvious that it needed something more than advanced cleaning. They were very prompt - they sent me a box to ship it in just like a day - super fast. A couple days later they then sent an e-mail with a quote and I decided to spend the money because I really really love this machine. It wasn't cheap - but shipping was included so really not bad over all. And I wanted the professionals fixing it, not me trying this and that off of a DIY YouTube video and getting no where. So they fixed it and sent it back super fast - BUT - sadly, in their haste to get it back quickly to me, the technicians shipped it in a wet condition, and when it arrived it stunk and had rust marks on the face plate! Yikes. I was very very upset as it was not at all in that condition when I sent I to them. I had waited a couple days to send it and let the machine dry out on purpose. I can only think that it was an inexperienced technician who was trying to get it back to me super fast who made this mistake, and hopefully they are taking steps so this never happens to anyone else again! Initially they did not offer me any sort of compensation for this mistake - even tho having these blemishes was really upsetting and really spoiled the art factor of this machine - cause really - it is beautiful looking - it isn't just an old coffee maker - it is a show piece in your home! I have mine proudly on display and serve coffee to all my guests! It looks fantastic on my counter! So when they did nothing for me I wrote my review detailing what had happened and lowered my rating to a 3. And then magically, someone at Breville either listened to what I told the representatives, or saw my review or I don't know - but they suddenly did the right thing and approved a replacement machine! At no cost to me. I was ecstatic. Breville did right by me. It actually brings tears to my eyes cause I bought my original machine with money my Dad left me when he passed away. Otherwise it was really out of my price range. So thank you Breville - you warmed my heart and corrected your mistake and for that I give you 5 stars! You did the right and ethical thing. You can trust this company.

I've had a few different espresso machines over the last decade, and have tried and returned a couple as well. This one is, by far, my favorite machine for several reasons. Throughout the review I will reference differences primarily with the Barista Express, as that is one that I had for some time as well. The overall appearance of the machine looks good. I have the stainless steel version, and it looks sharp and well built. Breville is the only company I know that has the magnetic tamper holder underneath the top of the unit, and it's a nice touch. A place to put the tamper, and always know where it is. Also, the tamper is a nice metal one, rather than the thin, light plastic many other brands use. I also like that most, if not all, of what comes in contact with hot liquids is metal rather than plastic (though the portafilter does have some plastic, but I use a naked bottom portafilter as stated below). I kind of like the ease of the automatic machines that grind, tamp, and pull the shot, but the plastic group head makes me a bit uncomfortable. I try to minimize hot foods and liquids contacting plastic as much as possible. If plastic particles can leach out of water bottles, then heated plastics most likely will leach more. As far as performance, I will touch on the grinder, pulling of the shots, hot water spout, and very importantly, the steam wand: I have seen some complaints about Breville's grinders, and I don't understand why. Granted, I do believe that most of the complaints come from people who are much more advanced in their coffee preparation and understanding than I am. Nevertheless, I do find the grinder to do a good job. It has fine adjustments that you make with the dial on the left of the machine, plus larger scale adjustments that you can make with the grinder itself under where the bean hopper sits. I wouldn't say the larger adjustments are super easy, but definitely doable if you follow the directions. I've made a single adjustment on the grinder itself and only rely on the fine adjustments other than that. As a side note, I saw on an instructional video by another reviewer that you want to make the fine adjustments while grinding to prevent getting anything stuck. I'm not sure if this is necessary but I do it just in case. I am impressed by how little of a mess the grinding makes. The dosage amount and grind size is consistent once I dialed everything in and left it there. Plus it's easy to switch from single to double dose. Pulling shots is rather straight forward as well, but does take time getting things right. As far as getting it right, that's more dependent on the size and dosing of the grinds as well as the tamping force, but you see the results during the shot pull. I don't use the included portafilter because I've always liked the appearance of the naked bottom portafilters, so I found one on Amazon that's sized for this machine. The naked bottom ones look cool pulling the shot, but make a bit more of a mess than the standard portafilter, and are a little less forgiving than the included one. With a fairly good grind size and amount, you can get good consistent shots. With my Barista Express, I noticed that the second pull was usually more bitter and not as good tasting as the first shot, if pulled within a few minutes of each other. With this machine, I can pull a double shot, steam the milk, then pull another double shot without any issues or difference in taste. The Barista Pro also has the three second heat up time vs the thirty second or so on the Barista Express, which isn't a huge deal itself but I believe the newer heating unit is more advanced and allows for the better second pull. The hot water spout is angled and can dispense right into the cup after the shot is pulled without having to move the cup to a different location. Also, I like the angled spout versus the one on the Barista Express. As far as the steam wand, it doesn't seem like there is much advertised or discussed about the improvements of the steam wand versus the Barista Express, but in my opinion, it is far more powerful. I had a lot of difficulty getting the correct texture of milk for latte art, but with the Barista Pro, the steam wand seems much more powerful, faster to steam the milk, and can more easily achieve that proper texture and consistency for good latte art (my latte art isn't very good, but I'm going to blame that on my skills rather than the steamer). For fairness, I will say that my skills have improved some since having the Barista Express, but I definitely feel a significant difference with this steam wand. Such that I feel that alone makes it worth the increased price compared to the Barista Express. I have also tried an automatic machine. I would say that the automatic machines are easier to use, less of a learning curve (though there is still somewhat of a learning curve) and most give you the option to make a regular drip coffee as well. They don't usually have as good a shot pull or taste as a unit like this one, and personally I like the "artsy" part of going from grind to shot manually. To conclude, I would definitely recommend this machine to anybody who is looking for very good espresso drinks that are better than what you will usually find in coffee shops, at the comfort of your home. If you're willing to learn how to use the steam wand well for lattes and cappuccinos, I feel this machine is better than the Barista Touch, and better than other machines in this price range. Within a few months, the machine pays for itself versus getting a latte a few times a week at a coffee shop.

I recently upgraded to the Breville Barista Pro Espresso Machine in Damson Blue, and itâs quickly become the star of my kitchen. As someone whoâs dabbled with entry-level espresso makers before, I was ready for a machine that could deliver cafĂ©-quality coffee without overwhelming me with complexity. This sleek, stylish machine has exceeded my expectations in almost every way. First, the design is a standout. The Damson Blue finish is a gorgeous, deep hue that adds a pop of personality to my countertopâfar more interesting than the usual stainless steel or black options. Itâs compact enough for a home setup but feels substantial, with a brushed stainless steel body that screams durability. The layout is intuitive, and the backlit LCD display makes it easy to navigate settings, even before my morning coffee kicks in. What really sold me is the speed. The ThermoJet heating system gets this thing ready to brew in just 3 secondsâseriously, I barely have time to grab my portafilter before itâs good to go. Compared to my old machine, which took ages to heat up, this is a game-changer. The integrated conical burr grinder is another huge plus. With 30 grind settings, I can dial in the perfect coarseness for my beans (Iâve been loving a medium roast lately). It grinds directly into the 54mm portafilter with a single touch, and the dose control ensures Iâm not wasting coffee. Pulling shots is where the Barista Pro shines. The digital temperature control (PID) keeps the water at a steady +/- 2°C, and the low-pressure pre-infusion ramps up to a 9-bar extractionâtextbook stuff for balanced, flavorful espresso. My shots have been consistently rich, with a thick crema that rivals my local coffee shop. Iâve been playing with the programmable shot volumes (1 or 2 cups), and once you find your sweet spot, itâs effortless to replicate. The included Razor tool helps level the puck perfectly, which is a nice touch for beginners like me who are still mastering the tamp. Steaming milk is a breeze too. The ThermoJet system switches from espresso to steam instantly, and the wand produces silky microfoam with minimal effort. Iâve been practicing latte art (with mixed results!), but the texture is spot-on for cappuccinos and flat whites. The 68oz water tank and 9oz bean hopper mean Iâm not constantly refilling, which is clutch for my caffeine-heavy household. There are a few minor gripes. The 54mm portafilter is slightly smaller than the commercial 58mm standard, so upgrading accessories might be tricky down the line. Also, the grinder isnât as quiet as Iâd hopedânothing disruptive, but itâs noticeable in a silent kitchen. Cleaning is straightforward, though; the drip tray and portafilter wipe down easily, and the machine prompts you when itâs time to descale. Overall, the Breville Barista Pro in Damson Blue is a fantastic blend of style, speed, and performance. Itâs perfect for home baristas who want pro-level results without a pro-level learning curve. At this price point (around $850), itâs a solid investment thatâs already paid off in coffee shop savings. Iâd give it 5 starsâhighly recommend for anyone ready to elevate their espresso game!

I bought the Barista Pro as an anniversary gift for my wife, and when the machine actually worked, the espresso was incredible â easily better than Starbucks and our local shops. We were excited and genuinely wanted to love this machine. Unfortunately, the excitement didnât last. From the beginning, we dealt with major inconsistencies: unstable water temperature during extraction, a steam wand that struggled to stay hot, and a hot water dispenser that delivered different amounts every time. The steam knob also became unresponsive unless we restarted the machine. Getting a consistent shot was almost impossible. Customer service was slow, but we tried to be patient. After a month of troubleshooting and waiting, we finally sent the machine in for repair. When it came back, it was dead on arrival. The hot water dispenser was still inconsistent, and the machine wouldnât even run a blank shot â no water came through at all. We attempted a flush cycle, but nothing. The steamer worked, but the core issue was never fixed. We even recorded videos in case support needed proof. At this point, the machine is performing worse than when we shipped it out. After all the time, energy, and wasted coffee, itâs hard to justify the price or the brand reputation. We havenât posted reviews anywhere until now because we wanted to give Breville a fair chance, but this experience has been extremely disappointing. When this machine works, itâs fantastic â but ours rarely did. And after a failed repair, weâre left unsure about continuing with the brand at all. To be continued......

I waited about a year to write this review, to make sure I used the machine enough to have an opinion. It works amazingly. I use it every day - and have since I purchased it. The initial set up will take time, like any other good espresso machine. Youâll need to dial in your beans and find the right grind size, brew time, etc. I found a YouTube video and followed it to help me out. After that, I just began practicing every day with steaming the milk and after a while I was able to make the perfect drink for me. It has eliminated my daily coffee runs, I of course will still grab a coffee while Iâm out running errands just for fun but the price of the machine has paid out for how much I use it. The machine will tell you when to descale and when to flush based on how many pulls you are doing which is great. I bought extra tablets and will flush it probably once every 2 months and then descale it quarterly. All of the cleaning parts are fairly cheap on Amazon and breville has videos online to follow. I clean the tray and steam wand weekly and found that soaking my wand in 1:2 white vinegar/hot water works the best for getting any scalded milk out of the nozzle and keeps it steaming perfectly. You can twist the nozzle off after soaking for an hour and use a straw cleaner to scrub the wand out. This helps eliminate blockages in the wand which I was having in the beginning after a couple weeks of use even after purging the wand after every use. Everything comes apart really easily for cleaning and moving - I kept the original box and styrofoam for moving since I moved across the country and everything held up perfectly. I did end up purchasing a different tamp but the one that comes with it works fine I just preferred a heavier weighted one. Overall, I highly recommend this and will keep using breville products if they are all built this well.

The Barista Pro makes very good espresso, but it may take a some time to get the machine dialed in. Once it is, however, you can count on a repeatably delicious and hot beverage every time, though bean quality and freshness, as well as machine cleanliness and condition, will have a direct impact, too. The Pros: - Instantaneous HOT water & steam - Precise extraction in Manual mode - Great steam wand pressure - Backlit digital HMI - Programmable quick-touch buttons - Adjustable-burr bean grinder - Adjustable water temperature - Built-in, large-capacity drip tray - Some steel-body construction - Relatively painless clean-up The Cons: - Can be difficult to dial in - Poor extraction quality in Automatic mode - Expensive machine - Poor-quality bean grinder** ** The grinder in my machine lasted about a year, using the machine 3 to 4 times a week, on average. Overall, I would recommend this product to those people out there who are sick of paying full-meal prices for coffee drinks but who also have the 10 or 15 minutes it takes to do it properly. Yep, its an expensive initial investment, but the long game is where you win. I would also highly recommend purchasing both a decent espresso scale and a good bean grinder to go with it. Preset tampers can also standardize the process for you, and since you are setting up your machine to produce beverages that YOU like, standardizing your processes in such ways will generate much more repeatable results. For anyone interested, I changed the internal burr setting of my machine to 3, and the digital grinder setting is generally kept at 7. I exclusively use Manual mode to pull double shots, as Automatic mode has a significant difficulty with both timing and repeatability. You will waste a LOT of time, coffee and patience using Automatic mode. I brew in a 1:2 ratio (beans to product), using 16g of beans (weighed each time before I grind them) to produce approximately 32g of extract in approximately 30 seconds - hence, the need for an espresso scale (get one with a timer). For those of you who like cappuccinos, make sure you're using cold, WHOLE milk when making foam. The fat in the milk is what makes it thick, velvety and delicious. Try chocolate milk for a mochachino. You won't need sugar đ Cheers!
