The tamper is decent quality and attaches magnetically to the machine.

Very good quality and the cafe lattes are the best.

Very durable construction and excellent quality

went from a entry level but modified DeLonghi EC155 and a good quality espresso grade coffee grinder to this

The quality is truly amazing for such a low cost espresso machine

I'm not a coffee snob yet, but I did do a little research online to find a good quality bean

Definitely not buying breville again, really unreliable, low quality manufacturing

Good quality, great coffee, easy to operate.

The extraction is perfect for my taste and the quality has been consistently good.

Very nice quality

While we would certainly have NOT been buying this many from the local brewhouse, the quality of the product is just great

The Breville toaster that I own is also another super quality product that we enjoy at our home

Great machine but quality is lacking for a $600 machine.

Thid is an excellent quality and beautifully desiged kitchen object

A minor complaint is although key components are metal some, like the coffee and water reservoirs, are plastic (high quality) and could fail if not carefully handled - but this is a nit of little consequence

I love making good quality espresso in the morning

Great product, very solid, good quality

Does require some experimenting but once you learn I get Starbucks' or better quality shots.

Great quality.

but we do like to enjoy a good quality espresso

The first thing you notice is the amazing quality of the product

With a few tries with the breville, I was able to consistently produce great quality shots at the proper pressure and they tasted great

The quality of the grinding is far superior to any burr grinder I've used

The quality of the cappuccino is great, much better compared to that of the famous coffe chains

It seems sturdy and high quality

Great quality machine

The quality of the espresso is great once you get the machine dialed in correctly for your elevation, season, type of coffee and roast of coffee.

Quality is awesome, i have little worries.overall

The wand is producing good quality milk and froth for the latte.

This is a great quality machine and I am very happy with it

There is no excuse for such shoddy quality and short lifespan

No matter how many hours you search internet for your under-extracting problem, everyone will repeat the same thing "use the best quality coffee beans, use the best coffee grinder, use finer grinder setting than now, use perfect amount of tamping, and use right amount of does

This is an often overlooked quality that should be considered

Decrease your chances of failure by using fresh quality ingredients and by not taking shortcuts

Every little detail, every little tool that comes with it is top notch quality

Excellent quality for the money

Only use it for espresso so will not comment on the steamer, however we love this machine due to its intelligent design and the high quality of espresso

Luckily, the quality of the coffee it makes is very good, and I also really like the integrated coffee grinder.

Professional grade, and the built quality is excellent

Short version, at this point: good machine, but get a pound of good quality beans and be prepared for some missed shots initially.

great quality.

Use top quality beans - I recommend buying 1 lb

Machine is heavy and feels good quality.

It is of decent quality, but for me it was a mixed blessing.

The quality of the machine is good but the performance of the steamer wand is poor.

Other than that, the quality of the machine is incredibly impressive and I'm looking forward to experimenting with the functions to nail down my morning latte

The quality is fantastic.

Excellent build quality and materials

The build quality of the machine is impressive

The quality of the machine is excellent, and it makes a really great espresso and Americana.

Good quality beans make a big difference

Overall, good equipment, good quality, just a lot of cleaning and maintenance for a cup of espresso.

The quality of the espresso is excellent

Make GREAT EXPRESSO with excellent crema, but the Quality of the machine is very poor (inside).I bought this Machine because of the almost 5 Stars Review, but very disappointed that it lasted 1 day, No pressure showed up the second day

Great quality lattes and the learning curve wasn't bad.

So i did some research and found that super-autos will never produce quality like a semi

I have already tried a variety of beans and it is VERY true that you will not reach the correct pressure unless the beans are fresh and good quality

We've had this six months, with no technical issues or any hint of poor craftsmanship or quality

It has nice quality cords, handles, and accessories

The amount of steps it takes to get the perfect 'dose' is quite the addition to an early-morning routine (especially pre-caffeine), but even with some missteps in the grind and tamp steps the quality is already measurably better than the simpler machines.

It is apparent that the stainless steel Breville uses in the front tray is inferior quality, which is disappointing since the rest of the unit is well built.

The great thing is to come home and be able a very consistent high quality coffee every time

we decided to upgrade to a better quality machine

Super quality

Make sure you keep your tank filled, hopper full of beans, and always clean it when it asks to be cleaned, and you will have no trouble!Thank you breville for an affordable but exceptional quality espresso machine!

Fantastic quality product making consistently awesome shots every single time!

After 2-3 weeks of fiddling with adjustments and pulling espresso shots regularly, you will have a wonderful machine that requires little maintenance and makes better quality drinks than any coffee house.

The quality of this product is excellent, purchased it almost a year ago and still running like it was new

Best Machine i have ever had, Ive been doing this for 20 years now and this to me is the ultimate in Home Espresso machine, the conical grinder is top quality easy to use and plenty of adjustment range being built in makes it so easy the espresso maker instructions are very easy to understand and turn you into a barista in no time I love how you can use manual mode if you prefer to be more in control or just let the auto function control infusion and quantity as it should the double wall filter baskets are great to use if your not that savvy really helps out when your not sure of tamper pressure and grind settings they thought of everything on this machine i love all the extra tools it brings the tool

The quality of the coffee is outstanding and we will see what the reliability is

Perfect espresso made every time; quality of pull is better than a Starbucks Doppio

Great high quality.

Makes even the best coffee house quality!

Quality product and enjoy making espresso and americano in 30-60 seconds in the morning

I chose good quality beans and with fresh milk, the lattes surpass Starbucks

The tamper is decent quality and attaches magnetically to the machine.

This new machine is terrible quality

There's a lot of customization available to you and it is a very good quality machine

It seems to be of very good quality

I would highly recommend to buy a better quality brand, but if you are on a budget make sure your machine works well or return it to Amazon (NOT Breville!

Overall this machine is worth the money and I truly appreciate Breville quality.

the espresso comes out at the perfect temperature and as long as you are using quality coffee tastes great!

I got this to replace a cheaper delonghi machine which had started delivering inconsistent shot quality

The steam is not very powerful, but the quality of the froth is excellent and easy to attain.

Most coffee shops, when they do have milk substitutes, use poor quality almond milk anyhow, and it affects the taste.

Great quality coffee, works like a charm, if you want to drink good quality coffee buy this machine, very good price.

We enjoyed the Breville quality so much we also bought their countertop oven when our previous toaster oven died

It's easy to use and the quality of the drinks has been every bit as good as the coffee shop if not better.

The build quality is absolutely exceptional - honestly it looks and feels like a machine that cost four times the price

If you want to take the time to learn this machine, I doubt you'll find a better, more professional, high-quality espresso machine with a grinder on the market.

The quality of espresso/latte etc is really mostly limited to the amount of time you are willing to put into learning

Very well made and has many features that make it a very good quality espresso machine (at an appealing price!)

thank you very much, I really like this product, it has good quality and price, I enjoy when I use it, but I use it every day

It is an elegant combination of modern technology and design, and it comes with everything you need to have a top-quality experience

Pair it with good quality beans and you will know what coffee is supposed to taste like (yes, I am a frequent Starbucks patron and it does not even come close to the results I get with this one)

The quality is incredible and the instructions included have allowed us to easily learn how to utilize this machine to its fullest potential

Previously, I was using an entry-level Gaggia Espresso Pure, and, besides being more feature-packed, the Barista Express is noticeably better made and produces better quality espresso and steamed milk

It makes incredible espresso, Comparable to The commercial machines That coffee shop use, As far as quality of the espresso.

Even my sister in law who manages a coffee shop says it produce fantastic high quality espresso

decent quality espresso drinks now!Do yourself a favor and get a food scale that can measure tenths of grams, a knock box, and some

Provided you feed the machine with high quality fresh beans

The quality and build is superb, the espresso comes out amazing

Easy, great quality, looks nice on counter

Thank you, Breville, for your great quality product, and Amazon, for selling it

Overall we are satisfied with this machine and would recommend it to someone who wants to make good quality expresso at home.

I'm literally crying because I spent so much money on this thing hoping it was good quality and lasts less than a month.

I LOVED this machine and the quality of espresso it delivered

In short, I use this routinely to make two lattes every morning and believe the quality to be better than what you get in a Starbucks or most cafes

I love the different settings and I love that you could store the beans and the being hopper and then grind them as you use them; very convenient

We finally set up everything manually and it works great now as long as we adjust the grind setting when we add new beans

so it clogged a

I also have some pre-ground decaf and Cuban expresso that I use with the double wall filters and get very good results, although not as good as with the fresh beans

Coffee was not as good as with this

It still works as well as it did the day we got it

every time, you can grind as fine or coarse as you wish

I do the cleaning with phosphate free tabs every time the light lights up, and periodically I do a general cleaning of the machine and the burr grinder cleaning as per the

In practice this machine has delivered excellent coffee as good as that found in good commercial outlets, and better than many

and I gotta say it works great as of the day we bought it

The expresso doesn't come out quite as strong as that made by the Francis Francis.

I had fun learning and still have much to learn, but overall am so super happy that I received this (albeit exchanged but still the thought was nice), hope you enjoy this as much as I do!

Worked great for about a year but started stalling as of recently

I unpacked it, washed all the parts as they recommend.

I can't stress enough to get fresh beans, such as from a local gourmet coffee shop and look for the "produced on" date and not the expiration date

We also pretty much gave up on buying beans from local brewhouses, we found the quality and taste not as good as we could do ourselves, so off we went and bought a small roaster (Fresh Roast SR700 Home Coffee Roaster), and frankly, this make the cycle complete - not only can we buy green coffee beans via amazon very cheaply, but we can also control how much we roast, and when we use them, making it a very turnkey and enjoyable experience

I bought a basic Delonghi model, which gave me a good cup but nothing as great as I was hoping for.

well I

n’t say “cons” really, more like
