Barista coffee machine
Love the option of colours & different settings. With this coffee machines only last the basic warranty before something plays up or needing a service, this then entails the machine to be sent to Breville for repairs/clean. Lots of little bits in the backing to get lost.... Keep up to date & follow regular cleaning will keep your machine lasting a little longer.

Everything in one - grinder and coffee maker
Great well-priced unit with a grinder and coffee maker. Build quality is great and excellent storage for the accessories. The steam wand takes a little trial and error to get used to, as it gets hotter than other machines I have had or used, but overall a great machine. Looks very good. Highly recommended.

Q: Are the BES870 and BES870XL the same Barista Express machine?
A: Yes. BES870 is the Australian model family name, while BES870XL is a regional code often used in other markets. The core Barista Express platform is the same, but included accessories, finish names and market-specific details can differ.
Q: Can the Barista Express use pre-ground coffee, or does it only work with whole beans?
A: Yes, it can use pre-ground coffee as well as whole beans. The built-in grinder is there for bean-to-cup use, but you can dose coffee directly into the portafilter when needed, which is handy if you want to switch decaf or try a different grind.
Q: Is the milk frothing on this model automatic or fully manual?
A: It is fully manual. The steam wand is designed for hands-on microfoam texturing, so it suits buyers who want to learn latte and flat white milk technique, but it is not a one-touch option like Breville models with automatic milk settings.
Q: Are 16 grind settings enough for different coffee beans on the Barista Express?
A: Yes, 16 grind settings are enough for most home espresso use, especially when paired with dose and tamp adjustments. Very fresh or oily beans may still need some trial and error, because espresso tuning depends on bean age, roast and humidity.
Q: What is the difference between the Breville BES870 Barista Express and the BES880?
A: The BES870 Barista Express is the more manual option, with button controls and hand-textured milk. The BES880 Barista Touch adds a touchscreen, automatic milk texturing and a faster ThermoJet heat-up system, so it suits buyers wanting more guidance.
Q: How long does a Breville Barista Express typically last with regular use?
A: A Barista Express typically lasts around 5 to 10 years in home use, depending on water quality, cleaning routine and descaling frequency. The grinder and steam system both benefit from regular care, especially if the machine is used every day.
