I have never for a minute regretted this purchase

One of the best decisions I've ever made in the kitchen. You have to really try to make bad coffee with this machine. Milk frothing is great. It's a great machine if you like dialing in your espresso and grind. When family members come by they never fail to ask if I can prepare them a coffee. Thank you for the great machine Breville. I only request you restock your parts and accessories more frequently.

Excellent machine!

I am not a barista, not even close to. I just love coffee and been watching videos on how to make good coffee at home. This machine helped me achieve that. I’ve own this machine for almost 4 years. Look at some of my accomplishments attached. Thank you Breville!

Great espresso but… RUSTY stainless!

I have had the barista express machine for a few months. After a bit of practice the machine is actually very easy to use. The espresso is is typically very balanced with great body. Having the steamer is another bonus allowing for a quality coffee house experience in the home. The most unfortunate and disappointing aspect is the poor quality stainless exterior. The machine has begun to show rust stains which I have not been able to remove. I keep the machine in mint condition therefore having these ugly rust stains right in front have caused great disappointment with Breville company quality. I have tried to contact customer care they have not responded. I cannot in good conscious recommend this to a fried
