This Coffee Machine Makes A Perfect Coffee Every Time. Can't Do With This Item. Love IT
This coffee machine makes a perfect cappuccino, etc everytime.
Easy to use. If you need help go to YOUTUBE and they can show you how to use this awesome machine.
Buying on Online made it a lot easier as well. I bought it on line and picked it up at the store (Bankstown) It was waiting for me. Thank you

Great machine but customer service lacking
I love this machine! I bought it last week for my workplace and great so far! This is why I have given high scores for Build Quality, Ease of Use etc. I have however had a lot of trouble claiming the new offer of 2 months of free coffee beans through Breville. It is like it is made deliberately difficult. First an invoice of sale wasn't good enough, then proof of payment on our system. Now I am being told I have to get a receipt from Bing Lee with my name on it and not my company who paid for it. There is no mention in the terms and conditions about a company not being made the offer. It has really tainted my whole view of Breville who I previously held in high regard. I will keep trying but it has been a letdown.

Absolutely Brillant Machine
Purchased a Breville Barista Express after my Sunbeam Cafe Series died after 10 long years. I am super impressed with it, love the inbuilt grinder function. Makes a great coffee. Highly recommend.

Used everyday!
We use this everyday... The ease of use is great. The grinder works well and the creama gauge ensure the the best coffee output. Good size unit that compliments your benchtop. I'd recommend this for the novice barista plus no more wasteful disposable cups... Too many home coffees now

Great coffee
This machine works hard in my house and has lasted well, Breville customer service is excellent and I would not buy any other machine. The inbuilt grinder is fantastic, accessories are easy to source.

Perfect for frothing like at the coffee shops
I drink a white coffee once a day so I was looking at Breville's coffee machines with frother and decided to try this one.
Very flexible on the grind size and adjustments can be made to get the right amount of ML for the shots.
The frother is very good at making flat whites / cappachino's etc.
Very high quality product and would recommend

nice and solid
Sort of makes you wonder how many of these "home espresso " machines are out there in a similar state/condition still waiting to be hung on the "tree" or thrown on the "bay" eh?
Unfortunately, most of these consumers are not aware nor informed by the big store floor salespersons, of what "(regular) maintenance" and care, is necessary to get long term drinkable results from ANY machine.
I don't know anything about Breville espresso machines, so can't advise where else to "clean" apart from wherever you can access.
It's comparatively easy to use and keep clean, plus it has an attractive stainless-steel design. It also has a built-in burr grinder for hassle-free coffee ground dosing.

Best coffee
I have been using this machine for a couple of weeks. It took a few days to tweak the settings (I felt very discouraged at this stage). There are some excellent tutorials on YouTube. It makes the best flat white I have ever had. I love it.

Absolutely love it.
Temperature is great when making coffee. The machine is great, its sometimes hard to find the exact grind amount to get it in the perfect level especially when changing beans all the time. It takes about 5-10 seconds for the milk steamer to start after brewing the coffee but other than that its fanastic- especially at sale price

Great machine for coffee lovers!
To feel real taste of coffee, we need right seeds, right skills and right tools. Here Breville Barista Express is the right tool to grind, extract and frost perfect coffee. All in one machine, this also helps us to gain skills to make our own coffee.
Maintenance is not that hard. Really good value for money.
Their customer service is excellent.

Great Performer
This is the first espresso machine Ive owned after using an Aeropress for years. With quality beans and a little practice, I consistently get better results than at most cafes (although not the better ones).
Two very minor gripes. The pressure gauge is useless. It makes the machine look pro, but is best ignored. The CLEAN ME light on my machine wont turn off even after escaping and multiple cleaning cycles. But these are neither here nor there.
I have had the machine 6 months and we have three keen coffee-drinkers in the house. It has not missed a beat.

Unbelievable coffee from a small machine
We were looking to replace our broken Nespresso Umilk machine and wanted to move away from pods. Not only were we finding that the pods were too expensive, but the environmental cost was also a detractor. We settled on the Breville Barista Express since the built in burr grinder helps us to save space on our already cluttered kitchen benchtop.
The unit is perfect for this situation. It is quick enough to heat up and makes really good coffee - running circles around the Nespresso machine we previously had. It tastes better, and it's actually qu...Read more
icker to make a coffee manually in this machine than the supposedly automatic Nespresso pod machine. Cleaning is easy too - the instructions are clear and the water filter helps to keep the inside of the machine free from the elements present in tap water. Overall, I'd recommend this for anyone who needs a small machine and can't plumb it in. And as a bonus, it means we can try all the great coffee at our local roasters too!Similar opinion?

Latest Consumer Questions
Louise S.asked
Only had this machine for less than a month and the milk frother is playing up. It fizzles out when I put it in the milk. It worked fine at first but now is erratic. I looked to see if the steam wand was blocked and used the pin provided however still the same problem. I unscrewed the tip to clean. It looked fine.
I test the steam first then put in standby then put in milk and it stops working. I take it out put on steam again then standby then put in milk and it sometimes works but not as well as it did when I first started using it. I’ve always let it steam for a few seconds after frothing as instructed.

Why does the power button continuously flash?
1 answer
"The POWER button surround will flash while the machine is heating. When the correct temperature has been reached, all the button surrounds on the control panel will illuminate."

Is this normal please .? Cheers

We empty the drip tray about once a week. But it's only used for one cup of coffee per day.
Thanks, but I need to know if the steam if water going into the drip tray is normal, or faulty
