Home coffee machine
A very good home coffee machine, the addition of both a grinder and puck press makes this a very good option for people new to making espresso coffee. The only slight downside to this great machine is with the steam wand, I noticed on a few occasions the steamer would just stop in the middle of steaming my milk but aside from that it's fantastic

Great espresso machine
First impressions of this machine are great. Its a beautiful looking espresso machine and takes up minumal counter space. I have always shyed away from expresso machines with built in grinders but this machine has converted me. We have always had a manual espresso machine and while the Breville Barista Express Impress does take alot of the manual process out of espresso making, there is still enough ability to control grind, dose & pour time to keep a manual machine user very happy. Steam wand is great, porvides a great level of pressure and brings the milk to life every time. I am also a huge fan of the drop tray... super deep so we are not emptying it every day..maybe once every 3-4 days making 4-6 coffees a day. The in built tamp mechanism is great! this was the part I was initally most dubious about... but im here for it. All in all we have gone from having a machine + grinder and accessories all over the place to having this machine and a bang box. CONVERTED!

Breville Barista Express, Impressed
The Breville Barista Express Impress is a sleek and stylish machine, that’s guaranteed to fit into any kitchen decor. Upon opening of the box, you can see the quality build that is typical with Breville Machines. This was easy to set up, with a quick start guide. After assembly, I filled the grinder with my preferred brand of coffee bean. And with that, I was away to making the perfect cup of coffee. The machine itself, was easy to adjust. Getting my coffee just the way I like it, within a couple of tries. I used to be a barista and know what a pain it can be to get the right grind and dose with commercial machines. The coffee l grind and tamping is all built in to the machine for foolproof operation. Once I placed the basket into the unit head, it was a simple press of a button to get the perfect extraction of my coffee beans. Frothing the milk for my coffe was also easy. The pressure from the wand is brilliant and was fantastic to get the right texture out of my oat milk.

Impressed in Breville
The Breville Barista Express Impress is a great machine. I would say that it creates industry quality coffee at the touch of a button. The inbuilt dosing and tamping makes it so much easier and cleaner to make delicious coffee. It is easy to adjust and monitor the grind, and the tamping pressure is consistent with every cup. The steam wand makes creamy microfoam that is easy to pour and deliciously smooth.

Be saving money not buying from the cafe
I received this machine before I got the email, so I was very surprised when it arrived but I was happy. We finally set it up and it was very straightforward. Being an ex Barnstaple, I'm alot picker than the average person. I'll start with the things I don't like. Not have a bucket supplied for the used grounds, not being able to steam your milk while doing a shot - I prefer not for my shot to sit there while you steam milk. I think the milk jug is way too thin. I have feelings back in my finger tips these days, so getting the milk hot enough is hard to tell but It will come in time I suppose, the machine moves alot on my kitchen counter - when you insert after tampering and when moving the milk frother, there are stoppers underneath but aren't accurate for countertop. Things I like...it is very straightforward, I love that the machine has an automatic tamper/shot system as this really makes it easier for the everyday coffee maker. I'm excited to be able to do milk designs once again

Great machine
This machine of fantastic. I am a barista so I found some of the more complex aspects of this machine easy to manage. I love the auto dose it really lowers the wastage associated with some other machines. I also like the in built tamping lever, it means my husband and I are able to make coffee without adjusting the going to cater for different strengths. The steam wand works well and has a good amount of pressure for a home machine. I feel like the wand itself should be a bit higher gloss as the milk really does stick to it more than any other home or professional machines I have used. Overall highly recommend this machine for its functionality and its sleek, luxurious appearance.

Easy to operate and tasted excellent
I was quite nervous when the box arrived, I thought that the machine would be complicated and time consuming to make a coffee. Well, I couldn’t have been more wrong, I unwrapped the machine, pulled the sticky tape off, soaked the water filter, put that together and filled up the water. Probably 5 minutes all up and ready to go. Next off to the shops and buy beans, a more complicated operation as I had no idea what I wanted and should have done research. Back home beans in hand, tip them in the hopper, lid on, power on, set the grind to half way check it’s on auto and hit the switch on my kettle and the grind simultaneously the race is on. Milk in the jug and under the steamer that’s hot in seconds , press down the tamper handle ( perfectly flat and no spillage of coffee, happy with that. Milk is frothing,kettle is getting hot, tamper in its spot hit the 1 cup and pressure is instantly up coffee is coming out. Milks done, coffee done blend together and it’s ready. Kettles not done.

So simple to use
I have used an older model of this machine before and found it difficult to get the grinds right. This machine makes it so much easier, grinding directly into the group head, having the tamp built in and indicating when it is at the right level, taking out all the guess work involved. Making a perfect shot each time with gorgeous crema. Steaming the milk is made simple with the jug being a perfect size for a single cup. The option of just having hot water come out as well makes brewing tea just as simple. Absolutely love this machine

Fresh Daily Grind
As a pod and coffee lover, I was impressed of the quality of the coffee machine components and the smart intelligence this demonstrated. I found the machine to be quite noisy, however the quality of the milk froth and creme received was acceptable. I don't like the mess of the coffee grinds, however enjoyed the smell and fresh taste of the coffee beans in the morning. For smart technology to remember the grind each time, I found this function to be inconsistent depending on the amount of coffees you are making for guests and the lack of consistency you receive. Overall a great machine including grinder from Breville. I choose Vittoria coffee beans, however the coffee taste is down to the user. Using a different bean perhaps will provide a far superior creme to my preference next time.

Best coffee machine out
Hands down the best and easiest coffee machine there is! Anyone can use this. Built in grinder is so convenient and the milk froths so quickly! The only brand of coffee machines I’ll ever buy!

Love the machine
Absolutely love this machine. It's a good machine for people who are new to making coffee at home. Although I wish the steamer was adjustable. Easy to clean and easy to fill up.

Saves me money and delicious
Just the best. I got this coffee machine as our home drinks a lot of coffee. We have saved so much money, it's so easy to use and very intuitive. The tray started flaking off in the dishwasher but that's the only downside. It's easy to clean and the coffee tastes great. I'm a barista in the making!

Pressure off
Had one for a number of years, pressure began to fail and would pour weirdly. Ended up replacing with a different machine as to expensive to fix. Would recommend as an entry level.

Best coffee machine
The Breville Barista Express is a great espresso machine for home use. It has a built-in grinder, so you can grind fresh coffee right before brewing. The machine heats up quickly and makes strong, flavorful espresso with good crema. The steam wand works well for frothing milk for lattes and cappuccinos. It’s well-built with a sleek stainless-steel design and easy to clean. The grinder can be a bit noisy, and it might take some practice to get the milk frothing just right. Overall, it’s a solid choice for anyone wanting good coffee at home.
