Great value for money
We have this machine for over two months already and a super satisfied with the quality of our espresso. It works best with freshly roasted, freshly ground coffee. The 3-year extended warranty provided by The Good Guys is also totally worth it based on the additional value provided. Overall, 10 out of 10!

Great appliance for beginners
Took a bit of time and waste of beans to tweak to the ideal settings. But brews great coffee. No issues so far. Great for playing with if you are learning to perfect your own espresso and Lattes. Recommended!

Cute machine that does the trick.
Does the job but has a smaller water tray and a smaller water cartridge tank at the back. Constantly refilling after about 4 lattes made. Has enough power to heat the milk within around 3 minutes and comes with extra bit's to help temp and get the correct level grind. Am yet to recieve the gold extras cash amount for buying extended warranty, not sure if that part is a scam.

At a glance
The Breville Barista Express Salted Liquorice is a manual espresso machine with a built-in grinder for households that want fresh-bean coffee at home without stepping up to a more complex premium setup. Its strengths are all-in-one convenience, adjustable grinding and manual milk texturing for café-style drinks. The main limitation is that it takes more hands-on practice than fully automatic machines.
What it’s great for
- Home Espresso
- Daily Flat Whites and Cappuccinos
- Fresh-Bean Coffee
- Learning Barista Skills
- Multi-Coffee Households
Where it works best
- Family Kitchen
- Apartment Kitchen
- Shared Household
- Entertaining at Home
Who it’s for
- Home Coffee Enthusiast
- Couples
- Families
- Beginner Home Barista
- Upgraders from Pod or Basic Machines
Things to consider
Compared with premium espresso machines, it offers fewer advanced workflow refinements and still relies on manual technique for grinding, milk texturing and shot quality.
Barista experience suitability
Strong fit for hands-on home espresso making with room to learn grinding, dosing and milk texturing skills
Ease of cleaning score
7/10 - integrated design keeps accessories together, but grinder, portafilter and steam wand still need regular manual cleaning
Beginner friendliness
7/10 - approachable for first-time espresso users, though getting the best results takes some practice
Counter space suitability
8/10 - compact for a bean-to-cup style manual machine and suits most kitchen benchtops
Noise level vs category average
About average for the category due to the built-in grinder and espresso pump
Key benefits
- Integrated conical burr grinder: Grinds beans fresh in the machine, helping reduce prep clutter and keeping your coffee workflow in one place.
- 18 adjustable grind settings: Gives you useful control to fine-tune extraction for different beans and roast styles.
- 15 bar pump: Delivers the pressure needed for espresso-style extraction with rich flavour and crema.
- Manual steam wand: Lets you hand-texture microfoam milk for cappuccinos, lattes and basic latte art.
- 2 L water tank: Supports several coffees before needing a refill, which suits couples and families.
- 250 g bean hopper: Holds a practical amount of beans for regular daily use without constant topping up.
- Volumetric and manual shot control: Makes it easier to repeat preferred shot volumes or take full control when experimenting.
- Dedicated hot water outlet: Adds flexibility for long blacks, americanos and cup warming without using the steam wand.
Q: Is this a good first espresso machine to learn?
A: Yes. Breville Barista Express combines an integrated grinder with guided shot options, so a beginner can start with repeatable settings and build skills from there. It is still a manual machine, so grind, dose and milk texture take some practice.
Q: Does the steam wand froth milk automatically or manually?
A: It textures milk manually. Breville Barista Express uses a steam wand for hand-crafted microfoam, which suits flat whites, cappuccinos and latte art. It will not steam and stop on its own like an automatic milk system.
Q: Can it handle several coffees in a row at home?
A: Yes. Breville Barista Express has a 2L water tank and 250g bean hopper, which suit multiple coffees before topping up. The trade-off is that each drink still needs manual grinding, tamping and milk texturing rather than one-touch operation.
Q: Can it make long blacks and americanos too?
A: Yes. Breville Barista Express has a dedicated hot water outlet, so it can add hot water after an espresso shot for a long black or americano style drink. It does not use an automatic drink menu, so you choose the shot and water volume yourself.
Q: Does this machine make cold brew coffee?
A: No. Breville Barista Express is not cold brew capable. It is built for espresso-style extraction with manual milk texturing and hot water, so iced coffees are possible by cooling espresso over ice, but that is not the same as true cold brew.
Q: Does it have automatic shot sizing or manual control?
A: Breville Barista Express offers both. It has 1 and 2 shot volumetric control for repeatable pours, plus a manual shot mode when you want to stop extraction yourself. That suits everyday use as well as experimenting with different beans.
