Barista Express

I got a Breville Barista Express over a year ago and it has paid for itself twice over; 3-4x over if I was getting a $7 coffee daily. Plus, the cortados I make for myself, and the lattes I make for my wife, are better than most of the ones we’re getting out and about. Bonus was that I got it on sale

As a Go owner, and let me tell you I love it, there are struggles on a single boiler that Brevilles simply won’t have. If you expect to make multiple milk drinks at a time, or would like to use your machine when hosting a group, I’d research the milk drink workflow before committing. Brevilles do si

“Just as good” depends on your uses. I used to have a Breville Barista Express, which makes pretty damn good coffee for around $600. But I host a lot of gatherings where a bunch of people want coffee drinks, and the Barista Express is not great for pulling multiple shots, and it also take a lot long

Second this advice, I've moved from the Breville barista express to this set up (Bambino Plus and Baratza ESP) and I've been very happy. If you want to make milky drinks then the Bambino Plus delivers great milk consistently.

I’ve had a Barista Express, Barista Pro and now have used an Oracle Jet since March 1, 2026. This is definitely my favorite iteration of the Brevilles and I would absolutely buy it again. The good: It’s mostly automatic. You already know that. But there is a tremendous convenience in teeing it up to

I got a Move middle of last fall after lots of research following a dead Breville Barista Express. We got 10 years out of the BBE, and at first I was like "I don't want to spend too much money - I should just get the same thing." Well of course I looked around and fell in love with the idea of a nic

oh it's light years ahead of the bbe for steaming! way faster, the steam itself is quite dry and makes a vortex with ease. I had replaced the bbe with the delonghi specifically because I found the breville steam wand lacking and this is a huge upgrade again there is a noticeable difference in flavor

I have a Breville Barista Express, it’s fantastic. It has a built in grinder you can dial in, a steam wand, hot water (I use a kettle tbh the water isn’t hot enough) also the 1971 roast makes excellent espresso!

I’ve been using the Profitec Move (paired with a DF64 V2) for a while now and I’m really happy with it. I came from about 7 years on a Breville Barista Express, which I had dialled in very well, and the Move is a clear step up in terms of consistency, temperature stability, and overall feel. Shots a

I went through the exact same thoughts about 7 years ago! TLDR: I have had a Breville Barista Express for 7 years and recommend it. I'm not a Melbourne-level coffee snob, but I do have reasonably high standards for coffee and I really enjoy trying different beans. The Barista Express gives such good
