Barista Pro

I have the Breville Barista Pro (similar machine), I love it. Got it at TJ Maxx for 50% off and have no complaints, makes a great espresso. Grinder is perfectly fine too. I’m not an espresso nerd by any means, I just want a good shot, and it does exactly that once you get it dialed in.

I have a Breville Barista pro, and I get milk drinks better than 90+% of cafes (to my tastes) out of it, and thats with an integrated grinder which this sub generally doesn’t like at all. I also love the straight espresso that i can get out of my machine, it's balanced and I don't find I have that m

I've owned this machine. The built in grinder can't grind fine enough for proper espresso with only 8 settings. Absolute shit house, I finally upgraded to a breville barista pro after 3 long painful years and it's life changing. The built in grinder can actually grind fine enough for Esresso, I will

Sorry you are having such a hard time, as a BBP owner (upgrading imminently), I know how hard this can be. Based on all the information you gave in the post and comments, it sounds like to me like you are overloading the basket with the 21g, which could lead to consistent under-extraction and foul s

You’re right, they are using $6,000 grinder (jk) but they are probably using a commercial grinder and it’s probably around 3k or more. If you don’t want a fussy grinder do not get a df. If you are going for more traditional espresso and want simple efficiency, go with a eureka grind by time, dial it

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 Varia VS6 for my birthday after being perfectly content with the Breville Barista Pro's integrated grinder for years... and now I'm fully in free fall into dual boiler reviews, just got a Normcore V4 (should be arriving later today), and the taste I'm getting from the same local beans is lik

Breville Barista Pro. I know, I know everyone says that you need a separate grinder to get the best espresso, but I wanted to dip my toes into the water before I fully committed. I've had it for about a year and love it. I'll probably upgrade in a few years. https://www.bestbuy.com/site/breville-the

Machines with built in grinders are almost always a mistake. If you insist on one, Breville Barista Pro is by far the best of them, much better than the DeLonghi you linked. But for a similar price you can get a Breville Bambino or Bambino Plus with a good grinder such as a DF54, which will be a muc

I have the Breville Barista Pro, and I know it’s considered a bit of a “noob” machine in the espresso world, but honestly it’s been great for the price. I mainly drink straight espresso (not milk drinks or anything fancy), and it makes really solid shots consistently. The biggest pros for me were th
