Amazon Customer: Fue un regalo de cumpleaños y la verdad es que ha sido muy buena elección. El café buenisimo y facil de usar. Muy profesional.

Elihu: No soy experto, pero la verdad es que podría clasificarla de entre lo principiante, una de las mas completas. El hecho de que una maquina de estas tenga su molino, te hace estar jugando con el molido que puedas tener para un mejor café a tu gusto, yo la utilizo en #7 de molido y al momento de sacar el expreso, le podría lo de dos cargas en el molino (va a depender de tu gusto) pero apenas está perfecto, me da la presión bien (igual tiene que ver la presión con la que comprimas el molido, yo no lo hago tan fuere, quizá en un punto medio), pero me va bien. Realmente tienes que estar jugando si es tu primera maquina, aprendes técnicas, maneras de prepararte tu café, búscala en promoción, yo la compré en 11, pero la llegué a ver hasta en 9. De lo mejorcito para saltar de una muy básica, te hace buscar el grano del café perfecto para hacerte un buen café.

IDFIDF: Between myself and husband we'd spend hundreds at Starbucks every couple months and I'd have a decaf long shot Americano with steamed heavy cream and sometimes even an extra long shot. Super picky about having amazing coffee. Once you go through the learning curve which, with the advice also below, from another amazing customer review, you should get it down in about a couple days total. Once you have it down this coffee flavour and smoothness surpasses the best coffees I've had at Starbucks. Freshly ground coffee is the ultimate winner and it surpasses pre-ground easily so spend the extra moula and get the grinder! Your mouth will thank you :) The machine is amazing and beautiful and easy to operate once you read the instructions and look on you tube as to how to steam cream or milk exactly. You won't regret this coffee, I was using the same beans (Starbucks Espresso Decaf) pre-ground on a routine coffee maker and when put through this machine the flavour is so rich and smooth and it just lingers all over the inside of your mouth all over your tastebuds. Crazy. My mom is European and has had her share of coffees and espressos and I brought her a cup and she said it was the best...

Matt K: This is the first espresso machine I've ever owned. I purchased it this Spring (2020) because, like many of you, I needed to stop going out. I didn't know much about home brewing espresso, but I have lots of Breville products, and I thought this would be a good entry-level machine., I liked that it had all of the features I needed in a one-stop solution, but would still allow me to make "real" espresso, not the stuff that shoots of a pod, which I typically dislike. Armed with nothing more than the instructions it came with, power, water, and beans, I was able to brew espresso good enough to keep me from going into withdrawal, but typically not delicious, and appreciably less enjoyable than my favorite baristas in my favorite cafes. I also wasted a lot of beans in the process. After about 10 days of this bumbling around, I decided to start researching how to get better performance, learning a lot of coffee science along the way, and over the next few months, my technique and results improved, but ultimately plateaued at a point where I felt my home-brewed espresso was now generally better than my favorite baristas - but still not consistent - one day I could make a perfect shot,...

Amazon Customer: So to start off I should mention that I have owned a cafe for many years and am very knowledgeable with espresso machines, coffee beans, etc. However, kind of like how a mechanic's car never seems to run, or a housecleaners home is always a mess; I have always just had inexpensive drip-brew machines and never a true espresso machine at my house.....I know, I know....the irony of it all!
Anyhow, after lots of online research my decision was to buy a Breville BES870XL Barista Express Espresso Machine. This was based mainly on the positive reviews by other consumers, the appearance and functionality, as well as being at a price-point that I was comfortable with. The ordering and delivery process was easy and quick with no issues. I should also note that I bought a 3 year extended warranty feeling it was worth the nominal cost for future peace of mind. Upon arrival of the espresso machine, I read the instructions cover-to-cover and watched a bunch of online videos regarding tips and tricks for doing the initial set up.
Buyers should be aware that it'll take a lot of finessing (and bad shots of espresso) to finally dial in the right grind setting (coarseness of grind), versus the...

VRVR: Despite some of the negative criticism sprinkled throughout this review, keep in mind that (1) I am giving this machine 5 stars, and now that I have spent a few weeks getting to know it (intimately), I love it - so much, that if a burglar broke into my house and stole it, I would order another one the same day - I have not been back to Starbucks since. All that being said, you NEED to read this review so that your machine does not frustrate you and so that you get the most out of it. Read on my coffee-loving friend:

1. I am a guy, who knew nothing about espresso machines before this. I am very mechanically inclined and don't usually read instructions. This was different - this machine is NOT self-explanatory and you NEED to read the instructions (which are well written, and even include a troubleshooting section). Don't get frustrated with this machine until/unless you have read (all) the instructions.

2. This is not a 'stand-alone' purchase ... this machine costs around $500 (give or take), you need to invest another $100 right from the start (preferably at the same time) to get the most out of it, enjoy it to the fullest, and not get unreasonably frustrated by...
