The barista express from bean to espresso in under a minute create great tasting espresso in less than a minute. The barista express allows you to grind the beans right before extraction, and its interchangeable filters and a choice of automatic or manual operation ensure authentic café style results in no time at all.

The Breville Barista Express is a perfect choice for a family of coffee drinkers. This latte slinger can stand the test of time, banging out shot after shot, and has been a flagship of the at-home barista market for some time. The semi-automatic brew process and the high-quality steam wand can accurately recreate any drink on a cafe menu. Perhaps most importantly, the Barista Express uses higher-grade components than much of the competition and is more likely to run longer. Case in point, we once purchased a refurbished unit to make daily lattes and cappuccinos for an office of over a dozen people for five years. Today, that same machine continues to serve a family of two. 
The Barista Express has a steeper price tag, which is generally a prerequisite to getting cafe-quality results. Additionally, practice is required in order to master both the semi-automatic brewing and manual milk-steaming process. However, this brewing style is another prerequisite for getting top-notch results, and the Barista Express manages to make the process slightly more intuitive for beginners than most. It's hard to do better than this machine if you enjoy learning new skills and would like to make espresso a long-term morning tradition.

America's Test Kitchen

This handsome machine is perfect if you want the convenience of built-in grinding and automatic weighing of coffee, as well as push-button brewing, but you don’t mind some hands-on work. You must learn to tamp properly and move the portafilter of grounds from the grinder to the brewing position. A simple gauge provides excellent feedback, quickly teaching you to dial in the best grind setting and tamping pressure (Pro tip: Tamp on a scale, aiming for 30 pounds of pressure). This process soon became intuitive and easy. We loved that the machine came with everything you need—tamper, milk frothing jug, and portafilters for single and double espresso—and had a hidden drawer to store it all.

 Placed front and center on the control panel, the circular dial displays whether the internal pump is pushing hot water through your coffee grounds within the optimal pressure range. Too little force and water will flow through the grounds too quickly, missing much of its potential flavor, and resulting in under extracted and sour-tasting espresso. Too little hot water flow under high pressure will likely yield espresso liquid with a bitter flavor. Cheaper espresso machines tend to lack pressure gauges either to cut costs, or mask that they have inconsistent performance

             Use hot water and steam to clean. Chris Monroe/CNETAs long as you remember to empty the puck of spent grounds from the portafilter immediately after pulling a shot, give it a quick rinse, then flush hot water through the brew head, the machine is good to go. The drip tray is a cinch to remove and empty too. ConclusionBrewing espresso with the Breville Barista Express takes time, effort and practice

 Those patient enough to stick with the $600 Breville Barista Express though, tweaking its settings and various options etc., will be richly rewarded and ultimately spend a lot less money. Not only is it capable of making better coffee than cheaper espresso machines such the De'Longhi Dedica and Mr. Coffee Cafe Barista, the Express produces superior flavor than even luxury models like the afore-mentioned Philips Saeco and Krups at a fraction of the price

 Not only is it capable of making better coffee than cheaper espresso machines such the De'Longhi Dedica and Mr. Coffee Cafe Barista, the Express produces superior flavor than even luxury models like the afore-mentioned Philips Saeco and Krups at a fraction of the price. Sure, you could buy a fancy Italian machine like the $400 Gagglia Classic but unlike the Breville it lacks a grinder. All this helps the Breville Barista Express earn our editor's choice for a home espresso machine

Breville Barista Express review: This powerful, comparatively affordable espresso machine pulls truly flavorful shots

 I don't think this is essential for a latte, but if you drink espresso your first cup will be lukewarm unless you let the machine fully heat up (which is long after all the lights are on). - The default recommended settings on the grinder are working like a charm, so we probably won't mess with them much. We are using whole bean Starbucks espresso. - The manual doesn't explain the grinder mechanism very well

 We are using whole bean Starbucks espresso. - The manual doesn't explain the grinder mechanism very well. Basically, you rest the filter thingy on the little rubber arms, then just bump it in and release to start the grind process -- the grinder will stop by itself. You don't hold it in unless you want grounds everywhere

Review from a non-pro

.. I was mostly wrong on all these counts. When I bought the machine, I found the Sbux Espresso Roast whole beans (around $13 for 18 oz) and Sbux vanilla flavor (around $25 for pack of four 12 oz bottles)

 I am very happy with this and really enjoy the smell of the beans and process of making the drinks. You do need to watch the beans level (the hopper is small) and the water tank is also small - I have run out of both beans mid-grind and water mid-brew by not paying attention but otherwise this machine is pretty straight forward. I did experiment with steaming milk and wasn't a big deal but you can't really steam that much milk at a time with small carafe and steam wand (made more for 8 oz. mug drink vs

 Buying those same 62 drinks at Sbux would have cost $415 (not count tip I always leave so actually closer to $500 for 62 triple venti Ice lattes at Sbux costing nearly $7 each + tip. So I figure I when just considering supplies I used $30 in beans and syrup and at around $4 per gallon, I have used maybe another $20 in Milk so $50 total in supplies about vs. around $500 for buying the drinks at Sbux including tip means I paying 10% what I used to and have saved $450 ($150 less than I paid for the machine) in a single month on the drinks for me and my daughter. As I started off saying, it does take me 15 minutes from start to finish of cleanup to make those two drinks but it could be half that without cleanup every time but I also never wait in a drive through line

 The last straw that made me buy it on Prime Day discount a month ago was that price of my daily Starbucks drink (iced venti vanilla latte) shot up from $5 something to nearly $7. I was reluctant previously because I figured it would take a bunch of time to make myself, be a pain to clean up and I probably couldn't make it taste the same as the Sbux I enjoy..

For those with Starbucks habit - I make my same daily iced venti latte for probably 90% savings

Shot looked good, smelled good but had too much of an acidic sour taste to it still in my opinion. I’m using a breville barista express and filtered water, letting the porta filter heat up before and using a scale and timer for everything. Am I missing something else here to make the taste more enjoyable or maybe I’m just not a pure espresso drinker?

 The expectation for a great tasting espresso is quality water, give our well water source we purchase water for cooking and consumption. Would be nice if there was a better way to recover the dispensed water after use to be reused but since the tray also traps grounds, it's useless for reuse. For now I save this for watering plants.

Exceptional espresso for the price but has it's issues

.  For me that's hitting the espresso jackpot each and every time! What about you? Are you interested in dialing it in too?  https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01G82WVZ0/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 https://www

...  CONSISTENT SUCCESS! I am now dialed in on my dedicated espresso grinder and am now able to pull the following shot consistently "the first time and every time" and the taste is really delicious

 17.5gm beans, medium roast, perfectly and consistently freshly ground espresso, perfectly tampered, 194F brew temp, 4 second pre infusion, 27 second water flow after infusion, 35gm of brewed espresso, beautiful crema on top. Stir with silver spoon, (not born with it.

Great results once you.....

  We vacillated between many brands and options but ultimately we narrowed our choice down to machines by Breville because they provided the most versatility and ease of use. We specifically chose the Breville Barista Express due to it's smaller design  I'm going to preface this review by saying an espresso machine is one of those things that you have to do the math on to decide if it's a worthy purchase for your home, between my partner and I we typically each have two lattes a day. If we were going to Starbucks that would be $3.65 each drink

even if you're a complete novice you'll still be making lattes and other popular drinks in no time. The most intimidating part was the milk frothing process, but it's consistent and predictable and really easy once you give it one or two tries.  FLAVOR This machine makes espresso shots that rival what I was getting at Starbucks, in fact when we made our first drink we were delighted at how much richer and cleaner tasting it was compared to what we were used to getting at Starbucks. Once you make your own latte it's going to be hard to drink anything else

 The unit heats up quickly and provides piping hot water within 30 seconds, enough time for you to pour your milk of choice in the stainless steel milk frothing pitcher. From this point you simply turn a dial on the side of the unit to the steam function inserter your steam wand and try to stimulate the milk into a gentle whirlpool motion, this process takes less than 2 minutes depending on how hot your like to steam your milk. This milk frothing process becomes second nature after the first couple of tries. I'm happy to share that almond milk frothed beautifully

 This milk frothing process becomes second nature after the first couple of tries. I'm happy to share that almond milk frothed beautifully. The texture and microfoam with almond milk were both perfect and delicious tasting, traditional whole milk or 2% milk works fine as well.  EASE OF USE My partner previously worked as a barista and knew general techniques, I on the other hand had no idea how to use the machine out of the box, the included manual is both detailed and straight to the point

 6. Position the pitcher in such an angle to allow the milk to spin like a whirlpool. 7. When the pitcher is too hot for you too touch, keep the steam going for another 5 or 8 secs to get the milk in the right temperature

 The temperature of the latte will be the temperature of the milk. Unless you want to pre-heat the cup before the whole process, you want the milk as hot as possible, but not so hot that it will alter the taste of the drink.  Everyday usage: 1. Wait 20 min or so for the machine to pre-heat

  These are the tips that made all the difference for me:  1. You want to use the single walled filter to get a real espresso with real crema. The double walled will give you a crappy, Keurig like cup of coffee. 2

First of all, do the math and confirm how much cheaper is taking great coffee when comparing to Keurig's dirty-water-coffee.  - A 2.2 lb package of Lavazza Super Crema Whole Bean Coffee Blend costs $15 on average. - It takes 7

Almost requested a return. So happy because I didn't.
