This machine is really great - you will not regret this purchase! From everything that I've read, the key to good home coffee is in the beans and grinder. This is our first home machine, we prioritised spending the money on a really good grinder and nice beans rather than an Italian machine. The Breville is designed in Australia and allows you to fiddle with the temperature, extraction time and see the pressure within the portafilter which makes it easier to 'dial in your grind' etc. Really good value for the price. Some online reviews suggest that it's a little flimsy - it doesn't move when I insert the portafilter and I'm not exactly gentle. At the end of the day it is definitely an 'appliance' more than a coffee 'machine', but I live in a home not a cafe so that's okay with me. It's really well designed for the home, the warmer is functional if you switch it on a little while before you make your first coffee and the little pop-up empty me sign is handier than it should be. It comes with a lot of things that other machines make you purchase (pressurised and non-pressurised baskets, a tamper, milk jug). It's also not too big on the kitchen bench which was a pleasant surprise. The only downside is that it takes some time to heat the milk, but even that isn't too bad because it removes some of the risk in scorching the milk and makes it easier to get a nice creamy consistency. With some bougie beans, this makes way better coffee than anything that I can get near where I live. Wish I had committed earlier in the pandemic but it still looks like it will pay itself back by the time we're back in the office... Read more

Been using this for about 1.5 years now. Has all the features you need at entry-level usage and also at entry-level prices. My only gripe is perhaps the pressure coming off the steam wand can fluctuate from one use to another so you need to have good control over steaming your foam if you want consistent results.

I recently upgraded to the Breville Barista Touch BES880BSS Espresso Machine as a replacement for my trusty Gaggia Classic Pro and Baratza Sette 30 grinder setup, which had served me well for the past four years. Switching to the Barista Touch has been a game-changer for my home coffee routine. Ease of Use: One of the standout features of the Barista Touch is the seamless integration of grinding, dosing, brewing, and milk frothing all within a single semi-automatic machine. The intuitive touchscreen interface makes managing each step effortless, eliminating the need for multiple separate tools. Improved Workflow: With the Gaggia Classic Pro, I often struggled with controlling shot length and had to manually stop the machine, which was less than ideal. The Barista Touch allows me to effortlessly pull long shots and automatically stops after the desired time, providing a more streamlined and hassle-free experience. Grinding and Portafilter Handling: Unlike my previous setup with the Baratza Sette 30 grinder, where I frequently needed a dosing funnel to get the grinds perfectly into the portafilter, the Barista Touch handles this process flawlessly. I no longer have to hold the portafilter while grinding, resulting in a cleaner and more efficient workflow. Consistency and Quality: While the espresso taste remains on par with my old setup, the Barista Touch offers a higher level of consistency. Long shots now result in fewer wet pucks, and I consistently end up with dry pucks in the knock box after every shot. This consistency is crucial for maintaining the quality of each espresso. Value for Money: If you’re in the market for a sub-$1,000 espresso machine and grinder combo, the Breville Barista Touch is an excellent choice. It combines functionality, ease of use, and reliable performance in one sleek package, making it a worthy investment for any home barista. Conclusion: Overall, the Breville Barista Touch BES880BSS has significantly enhanced my espresso-making experience. The seamless operation, improved consistency, and thoughtful design make it a standout choice for anyone looking to upgrade their home coffee setup. Highly recommended! Read more

My grinder stopped working completely and i have no idea how to fix it or return it. Can someone please reach out to me Read more

Breville macks a good quality coffee machines I am happy with my purchase . Read more

I had the automatic Miele which tasted like plastic so, l returned it and bought the automatic Delongi it didn’t get hot enough so, I took it back and ordered the Barista Touch. It’s every bit as good as they claim it to be. It’s a little more work than the automatic ones but I can get a steaming hot drink. I’m still trying to get the brew just right to suit my taste. Still trying different coffees. I find it hard to do the 30 lbs of tamping pressure to make the coffee that’s why I put the four stars. Not a fault of the machine. Just me. All in all I would recommend this coffee maker . Read more

In the past we could never find a coffee machine that would heat up to a Hot temperature. After giving coffee machines a break for almost ten years. We were inspired to get a espresso machine after visiting Paris for the 3 rd time and every time we go there. We visit our favourite coffee shop for either an espresso or Americano!! We researched and researched until we were satisfied we bought or hoped to have bought the best possible espresso machine / Americano!! Yes you can make Americanos , and not just Espresso’s cappuccinos and lattes And Hot! Very Hot! Not those hot for 30 seconds and then cools down! One of my efforts to find the best espresso machines was to type into google “consumer top 10 espresso machines “. And this unit was # 2. # 1 was close to $1000 as it had a built in brr grinder. Not the smartest thing to do combing two units into one. What if one breaks down then your out of the other while in for repairs ! Also found good research on YouTube, loads of information on this unit seeing it working and demonstrating all it can do. We were sold we were convinced this was the one! And we are so happy with the quality results! Taste quality and temp just like those fancy baristas with the commercial espresso machines costing thousands of dollars! We also purchased the matching smart pro grinder. The set and forget feature is awesome!!!! Why have a manual grinder when an automatic grinds and dispenses and shuts off because the dispenser is set up for this espresso machine. Set for 1 shot or two. And you can adjust dispenser time and it remembers your last timed grind and dispense! Over. All very easy to use and clean up of the espresso machine. The steamer is very very powerful! Italian made 15 bar pump. Sounds amazing just that we don't know what that means lol!!! I guess quality that performs! A handy feature too is that if you make a Americano instead of the espresso. You dispense hot water right after turning off the espresso shot then switch to hot water then bring to 3/4 near the top then add cream or milk. Either heat it with the included stainless steal pitcher or put the steamer nozzle directly into your coffee cup and warm it up with 135 deg steam! After a month of use we love it! We No longer buy coffee or espresso out unless we’re in Paris of course! Read more

La máquina está preciosa, por donde la veas y lo que le veas está bien pensado, bien hecho y bien ensamblado. Los accesorios (jarra para espumar, portafiltros, filtros, etc.) son de la misma buena calidad y trae todo lo que necesitas para hacer espressos y cualquier bebida a base de espresso. Todo fue como lo esperaba: la caja llegó en perfecto estado, todo super bien empacado, es muy fácil de usar aunque no tengas experiencia, pues te va guiando y dando consejos para que ajustes la molienda y el tiempo de extracción. El sistema de la máquina está en inglés o en francés, pero el manual de instrucciones está en español de México así como la documentación de la garantía y la información de contacto y soporte para México. Todo perfecto hasta que llegué a la razón principal por la que compré la máquina: A mí me encanta el espresso americano (doble shot de espresso sobre 200 ml. de agua caliente) y esta máquina trae un programa específico para “americano” que emplea una salida de agua caliente que tiene la máquina y que cae directo a la taza antes de que extraiga el café. Lo que Breville no aclara en ningún lado (ni en el manual, ni en las especificaciones, ni en info en la página) es que la elevación de la ciudad en la que uses la máquina afecta la forma en la que sale el agua y ¡vaya que la afecta?!!! Yo vivo en León GTO, a 1,800 metros sobre el nivel del mar, que es altura media si comparas con otras ciudades en México: CDMX está a 2,250 metros, GDL a 1,575 metros y MTY a 540 metros para que se den una idea. Lo que sucede es que empieza a salir un chorrito muy controlado y a los pocos segundos empieza a salir vapor por la misma salida y hace que el agua salga como rociada para todos lados y se salpique todo en 30 cm a la redonda (vean el video para que no crean que exagero). Hablé a soporte de Breville y resulta que es un problema que tienen bien identificado y la única solución que me ofrecieron fue regresar la máquina. Volví a llamar un poco más tarde y abrí un ticket de soporte por la página y luego luego me respondieron lo mismo. Lo tienen perfectamente bien identificado y tan saben que no hay forma de arreglarlo que me dijeron que pasaría lo mismo con la salida de agua de cualquier otro modelo. En todos los casos me dijeron que, si la función de obtener agua caliente era importante para mí, me recomendaban regresar la máquina a Amazon y casi que buscarle por otro lado. Claro que super amables y cordiales, pero yo estaba en shock y dudando si algo más le iba a fallar por ese: “¡Ups! ¿A poco hay gente que toma café en las planicies elevadas y en las montañas?” que se aventó Breville. Afortunadamente hay otras formas de obtener agua caliente de la máquina, pero la función de “americano” es imposible de usar en mi ubicación. La solución es hacer lo que he visto que hacen en algunas cafeterías con máquinas profesionales y es dejar que corra agua sin poner el portafiltro. Para sacar 200 ml de agua caliente se tarda 30 segundos (con el mismo botón de extracción), cuando termina pongo el portafiltros ya listo con el café prensado y todo y vuelvo a extraer 30 segundos para que salga el espresso. Lo único que hay que cuidar es la limpieza de la regadera por la que sale el agua para el portafiltro después de cada extracción para que cuando saques solo agua no arrastre café molido de la extracción anterior. Lo de la salida de agua fue una mala experiencia y me hizo pensar muy en serio si debía quedarme con la máquina o regresarla. Decidí quedármela pues toooodo lo demás lo hace extraordinariamente bien y en menos de 7 intentos, ya estaba sacando unos espressos super ricos y ni siquiera había comprado buen café, estaba usando el Garat de grano que molemos al momento para la cafetera de goteo. Hoy, a 5 días de recibir la máquina, ya ni me acuerdo que tiene salida para agua caliente y ahora que compré un buen café tostado recientemente, no puedo creer que me esté tomando un café tan rico en mi casa y que me tarde menos de 2 minuntos en hacerlo (el espresso americano). A mi esposa le gustan los lattes y capuchinos y no se tardó nada en aprender a usar el espumador. Le encanta la textura de la espuma y ya me dijo que guarde el Aeroccino y la Nespresso porque nada que ver el sabor. Si les sirve de algo, les recomiendo ajustar a 13 la finura del molido, moler por 17 segundos, prensar sin tanta fuerza y extraer por 30 segundos. Son los ajustes con los que estoy obteniedo 18 gr de café molido y aprox. 36 gr de un espresso con buen sabor y buena crema. He notado que si aplico mucha fuerza al prensador, varía mucho la cantidad de café que obtengo, el sabor y la crema, por lo que antes de ajustar molido y tiempo de extracción, les sugiero practicar el prensado hasta que sean consistentes.

Excelente cafetera muy sencilla de usar. Read more

I’ve had this machine close to 20 days, using it daily. This makes great espesso and lattes. It’s super easy to use and takes about 15 seconds to grind and 30 seconds for a shot. Main pros: great coffee, easy to use, straightforward. The touch screen is super intuitive and walks you through the steps for each drink. The tamper and portafilter feel solid, heavy, and are made of high quality stainless steel. It feels like quality when using. The tray below is super easy to clean. Cons: At first the grinder made a small clicking sound and got stuck. But then I realized it was because my coffee beans were too old and dry. After getting better beans the issue went away. For a true coffee snob, you might want to invest in a very high end grinder ($500 or more). In that case you’ll end up with two grinders one built in and one external. However, for the vast majority of people the built in grinder is good enough. Keep in mind having the grinder and espresso machine as one unit means there’s a little more risk of something breaking down the line, but it’s convenient and looks nice having everything in just one unit. A few tips: 1. make sure to pack enough grinds in the portafilter to get a good shot. 2. A bunch of reviews complain about the steam auto clean making a big mess. This is super easy to resolve. Just put the wand in the stainless steel cup before lowering it for cleaning. Then it sprays into the cup not all over the place. Seems like a no brainer. Because of the force or the cleaning, there’s no way it could be clean without containing the wand in a cup. Read more

The product is not for sale in the UAE. The plug does not fit, obviously it is made for different markets. So I bought an adapter for the plug. But then the grinder didn't work. This product was B quality or has not passed a quality inspection at all. Had to return it as it was of no use Read more

I love it too much very high quality machine, everything you need is in the box, all what you need is coffee and milk. Read more

Just be careful of the grinding time as the coffee grinds can overflow but you can customize your own settings to suit your taste. A very good machine and well built. Read more

Machine arrived in a few days. So thumbs up for the delivery time and packaging. I took time to read the manual and assemble the machine as per instructions. After all setup was complete I connected the machine power plug to the power outlet and then immediately the house CB (circuit breaker) tripped. I used supplied adapter as the power plug is Australian. Initially suspected there were a lot of appliances connected so I switched everything off and kept only the Breville Espresso Pro available, however whenever connecting to a different power outlet, the same thing happened. Definitely the product is faulty. I have placed a new order and whenever I receive another Breville Barista Pro I will update the actual product. Also I will update my refund process from the seller later to this same review. *UPDATE* - 24/7/21 The seller accepted the return and followed up with me to ensure the new machine was working fine. Seller met my expectations regarding customer service and follow up. The machine itself is AMAZING! I have owned a cheaper unit before and also a Nespresso Machine so it was a HUGE UPGRADE! In the first day I managed to craft the best quality espresso with rich Crema. The steam is awesome! I have purchased the Coffee Planet whole beans (America's Blend) and it worked better with the following setting: Grind Size 14 and Grind timer 13.5 seconds. With this I am able to extract the coffee in 24 seconds. I wish this machine had the pressure gauge as the Express model however I find the extraction timer an awesome feature. Read more
