Breville Barista Express

HUGE improvement. I'm no longer getting a bitter edge. This has 100% improved the channeling I was getting. Which I tested with a bottomless

I've now watched a whole slew of YouTube videos about this espresso machine and it's obvious that a lot of people who buy this who are extremely serious about becoming home baristas. Good for them, but that's not me. I just wanted to be able to make a good latte with minimum fuss, and this (mostly) ...

Fellow Ode grinder with SSP Unimodal burrs, Hario v60 (size 02), Bonavita temperature controlled kettle. Then some really good beans from boutique roasters. All of this assuming you’re looking for coffee, and you could also use an Aeropress + Nanofoamer for the occasional latte. If you’re looking to make espresso-based drinks like lattes as your daily driver, Breville Barista Express is a good starter machine for around $500.

Okay so it takes me around 15 minutes but I clean everything completely every time (filter, tray, etc.) and I haven't learned how to make 100% consistent pull on shots (gauge at same pressure), but I was really surprised by how I can make exact same Latte they make me at Starbucks with same flavor. ...

Im looking to purchase an espresso machine and i found the Barista express. Tried to look around for reviews and mostly really satisfied from it and it makes great coffee once you learn to operate it.

We ordered this model based off of overall reviews. We were initially left disappointed when we set up our new espresso machine and found that water would not pull from the tank. We contacted Breville support and even with their assistance we were unable to get it to function. We were frustrated bec...

- I agree with those here who say you are grinding too coarse. Google how to adjust the inner burr on the Breville Barista Express. There will be lots of videos on YouTube, no doubt Hoon’s Coffee has one. - Make sure you have the right dose for your basket.

I waited for a long time to do this review because I really wanted to see how well it would hold up. I only have two issues with this unit. The first being the beans just don’t drop into the grinder in the most efficient way, you have to tap on the side of the hopper to get them to drop. And second ...

I've had my barista express for 4 years and it's a very capable machine. It's easy to learn on and easy to pull good shots once you know how. I've heard some people have had to manually adjust the burrs, but I've never had to do that. Might be a quality control issue with breville, hard to say.

Biggest complaint is how much water it wastes with each brew. We make at least 3 latte's per day, by the end of the week we've wasted 1/2 gallon of water that is not usable. The expectation for a great tasting espresso is quality water, give our well water source we purchase water for cooking and co...
