Love it!!

published

Bought this around a year ago and still going strong until now. I use it twice a day to make 2 to 4 cup at once. The steamer a little bit funny but you will get use to it. Easy to find the water filter and other part when needed ( cleaning tablet, descaler,etc)
Overall very happy with the product.

Very good coffee machine

published

We use this machine almost every day for more than 3 years already and very satisfied with the quality of coffee. We bought it based on recommendations from our friends who has the same machine for more than 8 years and we never regret our decision.

Great machine, can't live without it!

published

18 months in and going strong! We make a minimum of 4 coffees a day with the machine and it hasn't skipped a beat! Initially getting the grind setting was a bit fiddly but once right we haven't had any issues!

I love it!

published

I love this machine. It takes a while to get it setup but once you do it's delicious every time. The only criticism in the plastic on top. I feel it would be a bit classier with metal, but it is very sturdy. Foolproof coffee every time.

Excellent coffee machine

published

Have been using this machine for over six months - quality of coffee made by this machine far more dependent on quality beans than it is on machine itself - overall great value for money - best kitchen appliance I have bought

Problematic Machine - needs repairs

published

This machine makes great coffee when it works.
It is just over 2 years old. I would’ve thought for the money spent it would last longer.
We returned it to the Good Guys twice to be fixed and I wish they gave us a refund.

I called breville and was advised it was out of warranty.

Took it to the local repair place and after spending $100 have been told it needs a major repair.

Our friend have a similar machine and theirs hadn’t skipped a beat.

I should have purchased the extended warranty but read the reviews and thought I was buying a quality product.

Puts out great coffee when its not broken

published

Pressure was constant and reliable, Machine looks nice in the bench, Easy to keep clean,Was my best friend for 6 months........Until it broke on a Saturday morning!! Been away at a repairer under warranty for 2 weeks and yet to be looked at. Seems like it is just a white o-ring rubber seal in the group head/ basket that sets into the machine. Pretty disappointed that the entire pressure of the group handle relies on a silly frail o-ring to keep pressure. Very poor design

Great coffee machine

published

We were hesitant to upgrade from a pod machine due to the price, but so glad we did. Easy to use, great tasting coffee without the waste of pods.

Only downside is we are always cleaning up coffee grinds, but a small price to pay!

Fantastic machine

Purchased this product based on reviews and I was not disappointed.
10/10. Great price and better tasting coffee than coffee shops.
My in-laws spent thousands on their coffee machine and this produces better tasting coffee and is easier to use.

Disappointing

published

Disappointed with this product, we have been using this coffee machine for less than 2 months, the one/two auto cup is not working properly anymore. Had to call the customer service, some trouble shooting over the phone which did not work. We have been told we need to take the machine to their service agent in seven hills. Service agent told us it took at least 10 working days to repair it. If it’s going to be repaired, waste of time and money.

Great coffee machine for domestic use

published

In December 2022 I purchased our second Breville Barista Express coffee machine. Overall we are really satisfied with the quality of the coffee machine. We initially experienced some difficulty with the water/ steam knob which resulted in some initial difficulties with Breville with regard to customer service and claiming under the warranty, however these issues have since been resolved. The quality of the coffee produced by the machine is of a high standard, and highly customisable to taste. The only disadvantage to the machine is how noisy it is. We live in an apartment, and so am very mindful of using the machine before 7am as it is very loud and sends vibrations through the bench.

Great Coffee now that most of the auto functions no longer work

published

Have had mine about two years. Right away the frother was leaking water but meant I had to return it to my place of purchase which was in Melbourne, I live in Sydney (thanks Breville), so I've never used it. I struggled all this time to get a great cup of coffee despite adjusting all options continually, it was hit or miss. About 4 months ago the one/two cup auto fill was cutting out. So now I just hold that button to get it to stay on and control the amount of coffee into the cup. It now makes a consistent great cup of coffee now that I'm in control of the flow. Have to laugh but thats the truth.

Love it...initially problematic but Breville's response was amazing!

published

Had never owned a coffee machine previously but finally bit the bullet! Was in the process of creating the perfect coffee when after 2 months the water flow for the extraction process ceased to turn off. Under warranty, Breville had the machine picked up, repaired and returned to me within a week...thanks Breville...first class response & first class service. Love the machine, makes a perfect coffee and couldn't be happier with it.

Absolutely wonderful

published

Breville Barista is a wonderful addition to our kitchen appliances. It is been used nearly everyday for the last 8 months. Saved us loads of money at the cafe, we prefer the coffee we make at home with our Breville than a purchased coffee from a cafe.

Makes great coffee.

published

I’ve never paid this much for a coffee machine, but based on the taste of the coffee, it’s worth it. Better than lesser quality machines and better than the industrial Nespresso machine at my work place. Creamy and full bodied. Easy to use and the built in grinder is handy

I love this coffee machine

published

I purchased the machine in December 2018 and I absolutely love it. It hasn't missed a beat and makes delicious coffee. It is well worth cleaning it regularly but it is easy to do. Highly recommend this product. There are good YouTube videos on how to use it too.

Finally, a decent coffee machine

published

Our De Longhi Magnifica died after two years and it wasn't soon enough. While it was better than a pod coffee, it was still weak, cold and not worth the nearly $700 we paid for it. So we decided to take a chance on a semi automatic in the Breville Barista Express. We were surprised by how easy it is to make a coffee using this machine and it only took about 3 or 4 coffees to get the hang of it. Most important, the coffee is hot, it is easy to clean up and it is much quieter than the Magnifica! Really happy with this purchase.

Barista Express BES870

In bought BS870 October 19 and it’s been working fine until about a week ago

I have to manually stop it from pouring either 1 cup of 2 cups

Also the gauge needle does not move to advise if the grind is correct

Frustrating as I’m very particular with cleaning procedures On this machine and I always recommend this machine to others but now I’m very annoyed and doubtful about it’s ability to
Perform

Can you please advise what I need to do to correct these issues or I will be asking for a full refund

Thank you

Barista Express BES870

I have been enjoying my Barista Espresso BES870XL for about two years with proper maintenance routines. Recently the grinding amount adjustment knob does not work. No matter where you put it, it produces the same amount of ground coffee. I use it to adjust the amount of grinding according to the hardness and roasting of the grain. Can you help me solve this problem? Thank you

Been enjoying this machine for 1 month, but now before pressure builds it cuts off. Needle gets to about half-pressure, or less, and then game-over. Very dissapointing after a few weeks of good shots!
