Breville

All of the fancy features in this $240 toaster, Lift and Look, A Bit More, etc are great. However, for me,the fundamental requirement for a toaster… Read more

is to toast and to toast EVENLY. My toaster will brown the top half of the bread and leave the bottom half six shades light. In fact, the Lift and Look function is used to invert the bread halfway through the toasting cycle. Very disappointing - have just ordered a S.....M 4 slice toaster - I'll keep you posted.

I would prefer to rate 0 star not 1. I bought it from JB HIFI today (20/06/2026). As per instruction. for first time , it takes 10 minutes for… Read more

water to reach 93 degree , which then ready to use. I waited for 1 hour, but water temperature didn't go above 73!!! . I did reset , but same problem. So it failed even before first use !!!! I would expect some defects after 1 or 2 years but never expeciting this level of poor quality. Seems Breville does not have any sort of QA in factory!!! Returning tomorrow and I am done with any product of Breville.

I’ve been using the Breville Barista Express for 4 days and I’m genuinely impressed. As someone new to making coffee at home after relying heavily on… Read more

automatic pod machines, it strikes a great balance between being beginner-friendly and producing café-quality coffee.

The built-in grinder is convenient and lets you grind fresh beans for every shot, which makes a noticeable difference in flavour. The steam wand creates smooth, silky microfoam that’s perfect for cappuccinos and lattes, and after a bit of practice I’ve been able to achieve excellent results.

The machine feels solid, looks great, and offers enough manual control to improve skills without being overwhelming. Cleaning is straightforward, and the maintenance reminders are helpful.

If you’re looking to move beyond pod machines and learn the art of espresso without spending thousands on commercial equipment, the Breville Barista Express is an excellent investment. It has completely changed my coffee routine, I no longer want to have coffee from cafes since this coffee taste exactly the same.. highly highly recommend

I purchased this dehumidifier expecting solid performance from Breville, and while it does extract moisture effectively, I’m quite disappointed with… Read more

the noise level.

On the positive side, it works well in terms of moisture removal. The 3.5L tank fills up quickly during humid weather — I find myself emptying it twice a day (morning and night), which shows it’s doing its job.

However, the noise is a major downside. It’s significantly louder than expected and not suitable for bedroom use, especially if you’re a light sleeper. I initially had it in a bedroom with floorboards, then moved it to a tiled living area thinking it might help — but the noise actually feels even more noticeable on tiles due to sound reflection.

For a brand like Breville and a product category that’s been around for a long time, I expected a quieter, more refined operation. Unfortunately, the noise makes it difficult to run continuously or overnight.

Overall, good performance but let down by excessive noise. I’d only recommend it for use in living areas where noise is less of a concern.

Bought to make my coffee fast!! whilst brewing coffee, milk can be heating up at same time, a win win...however 18mths after purchasing I noticed… Read more

plastics of interior starting to deteriorate, I'm now concerned that if by chance the milk boils out of jug & into base will it go inside unit causing issues/short etc, checked with a friend who also has one as they have the same issue. Poor manufacturing making it like everything else 'a disposable society' tired of having to constantly replace stuff due to SHORT life expectancy, not a cheap product Very expensive to replace EACH TIME !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

POOR QUALITY – Had twelve months so now out of warranty. Buttons wore and had to push many times to works. Then today went to lift the lid to stir when on low and… Read more

the handle came off in my hand and noticed the lid was completely shattered. Must have happened well before I lifted the lid. Last Breville product I'll purchase.

I’m taking this to the local dump! Seriously! The Breville Custom Loaf Bread Maker is an expensive piece of garbage. I do not recommend you waste… Read more

your money on it. Its features sound great in the promo material, but it doesn’t work. Why? That st^pid collapsible paddle! It flops down, stays down and won’t come up again mid-way through the kneading process as required. After several heated discussion with Breville customer service (don’t get me going on that!) I was sent two replacement paddles. Same problem. I was sent a replacement machine. Same problem. Breville blames me and won’t help any more. But I’ve been making homemade bread for 20+ years, so don’t tell me! Collapsible paddles are a gimmick that does not work!

Great while it lasted - but it lasted only 18 months! The Breville Combi Wave 3 in 1 was great while it worked, but unfortunately it lasted only 18… Read more

months. A 12-month warranty feels inadequate for an expensive combination microwave. Thankfully, I had purchased two years of Product Care from Harvey Norman.

The main fan eventually failed, producing a strong electrical burning smell. During the short time the appliance worked, the microwave function performed well, and the 30-second Smart Start feature was especially convenient.

The oven function was less impressive. It took a long time to heat up and often failed to reach the selected temperature, resulting in longer cooking times than expected.

If it had proven reliable, I would have recommended it. Unfortunately, it simply didn’t stand the test of time.

It doesn't get up to pressure. During the early years of ownership it took a very long time to reach pressure but did cook eventually. I rarely… Read more

used it because of this. I didn't know it should not take that long until I got a cheapy pressure cooker recently. I contacted Breville and as it was just outside of warranty (I paid extra for 2 year warranty too) they wouldn't replace the unit or cover repairs or refund. They offered half off a new replacement unit but why would I want that when it takes so much longer to get up to pressure? I wanted a refund or credit to buy a different Breville product from their webstore like their reliable espresso machines I have owned for many years. For such an expensive appliance this is pathetic after sales service. My Aldi pressure cooker at fraction of the price works faster and better.

Bought this item from Harvey Norman and they were very good. The oven stopped working so we contacted Breville to get it checked and we took it to… Read more

the service agent in Darwin that they arranged. That is when the nightmare started as the agent by his words only services coffee machines. He did not look at the oven for over 4 weeks an even complaints to Breville were basically ignored. So if you live in Darwin I suggest only buying coffee machines form Breville as any other product will be ignored. Still waiting for it to be fixed now 7 weeks and counting. Very bad customer service!!!!

So very disappointed in this very expensive kettle, it is very heavy and you are unable to read the water level without holding it up to the light. It looks very nice but in action so disappointing.

Very poorly designed to the extent of being dangerous. The heat from the elements heats up the EXTERNAL metal surfaces so that they are SCALDING… Read more

HOT. There was obviously NO testing by the manufacturer to ensure this product is safe. https://www.breville.com/en-au/product/bta620

Awesome machine! It makes excellent coffee works great out the box noise level is OK but for half the price of a 700$ minus the grinder and etc. It's… Read more

a awesome machine for only 500$ which I got it for 350$ but it's probably the best machine for a 500$ and under price point and it makes the best. Coffee of my life barista level for only 350$

Excellent Kettle. Love everything about it. Definitely recommend. It is the best kettle I have purchesed and I am fussy.

Great Bread Maker. Probably others make bread of a similar quality, but this one looks great in brushed stainless steel. We purchased ours second… Read more

hand, but in excellent condition. My only issue with it is why Breville didn't leave the blue LED backlight for the LCD display on all the time when powered up. The back light turns off after 1 minute and this means the information on the LCD display is hard to read unless under a direct light - even then it's not all that easy to read for those of us with aging eyes. I have a small pen light I have to use to read the display. You can press any button, and the backlight will turn on, but I'm worried I may accidentally change the setting doing this and mess with the bread making. There is no option in the menu to set the backlight to always on. Would also be nice to have a light shining into the bread maker to have a clear view of the progress, but heat would probably preclude an LED light in there and we don't want an incandescent oven light in the small baking area. I also use the penlight to visually check on the progress.

Other than the LCD backlight issue - that seems so obvious for the designers to have left on or at least at half intensity after 1 minute - this is a great bread maker. Attached photos showing display backlight on and off - with penlight. ;-)

This is my firs love – I enjoy this machine very much, I bought it from Amazon where I found is the cheapest price

I've had mine for over 12 years now. I'm not sure what the newer models are like but mine is like the Terminator.

I bought this small air purifier for my bedroom. I didn't really think it would make a hugh difference, but it was pretty inexpensive so I thought… Read more

I'd give it a go. Every night I have to use nasal spray to help me breath properly. Since using the purifier I've stopped with the nasal spray. I'm pretty astounded. I'd definately recommend this purifier for smaller rooms.

I bought this machine to replace my Barista Express (which has been falling apart on me gradually over 5 years), so I'm uniquely placed to offer a… Read more

comparison if you are trying to decide between models.

Know that any of these machines are probably going to die within 3-5yrs, and its a bit of luck which component dies as to whether the machine is still usable.. and its unlikely a repair is worth while.. so although I am a fan of the Pro... there is definitely merit in buying the Express version because the $ value is superb.

But.. there are many reasons why you might choose the Barista Pro.. the biggest ones are it has a better grinder (vs the express which was a bit crude and got out of alignment from time to time), the Pro also heats up near instantly which is a luxury but still nice.. but more importantly its a more even heat which in theory (and according to reviewers) means less randomness when you pull a shot.. its just a better machine...

I stressed out when I first used the Pro, because a) the grouphead wont even turn beyond a few degrees.. I dunno why Breville make their machines so tight to use, but you don't actually need to turn it far, just if its snug its fine.. it will loosen up over the years.. but also when I first started making coffee my coffee was coming out terribly.. like.. even after dialling everything in, only a small volume was coming out.. I thought my machine was defective.. BUT... here is the cool thing about the pro.. you can manually adjust the volume of water that comes out when you click the 1cup or 2cup button.. so actually you can tweak things yourself which I have now done and feeling great! However that process even for a relatively experienced home barista took me quite a few hours and youtube videos.. a bag of beans getting it wrong.. but I have it now.. but if you are totally new, this could definitely be a barrier for you.. but it can be overcome if your heart is in it =)

Overall very happy.. just need to see what the longjevity is like, the more electronics on a machine the more risk I feel that things can fail.. but having had fancy brand machines in the past, I am very much a fan of the Breville range.

terrible machine, the hot temperatures are 15 to 20 degrees less than listed. Now after 18 months the black paint is peeling from the steam, not healthy to realise I must have been consuming flaked bits of paint not realising!

I brought the lift and look toaster because in my mind Breville was a quality brand. As it turns out out the toaster is terrible. Despite not… Read more

changing a setting the toast cooks differently virtually each time and often the bread burns. Just junk and Iam so disappointed ! I would strongly advise potential buyers to look for another brand.

Breville had the chance to produce a first class frother.. and they almost pulled it off... almost. However, with the finish line in sight they… Read more

stumbled. At first glance it's a great size. Compared to most other milk frothers it holds a considerable amount, and isn't lined with those toxic non stick surfaces. Very simple to use. One button. Push it once, twice, three times... depending on what you're looking to achieve. For a few months the appliance pulled its weight well...then it began making an ungodly amount of noise while in operation. We returned it... we were given a new one. It operated perfectly. Three months in, being used maybe 5x a week, it too began the transition to "noisy" with the identical issue. We spoke to the outlet who had sold it to us. They informed us they would no longer be stocking it due to the high rate of returns. "Would you like a store credit, or a different appliance?" ...they asked. "Will it continue to make this noise? Get worse? Explode"?... we enquired. "Unsure" they said.. We kept it...a large volume of milk...stainless receptacle. It's now almost been a year... the noise hasn't increased...the frother it still working.. For the price, we hoped for much better manufacturing....however, as I said, it's still operating fine. But that noise.....!

This toaster won't , 'Brown you off ' . It will brown your toast though . Our last Breville toaster lasted for six years and worked well enough to… Read more

encourage us to buy another Breville .

After a good two months of use I cannot fault its toasting performance . Bread of all sorts is browned to an extraordinarily even consistency . The relative slowness of this appliance is probably why this occurs . Seriously I would much rather wait an extra half a minute for evenly toasted bread than get stripped or burnt offerings at express speed . It does fling the toast up at a sometimes alarming speed but I've yet to have a slice launch itself off the kitchen bench .

There are a few things that might be of consideration though . The crumb tray is impossibly shallow , so much so that anything over the size of a split pea won't come out easily . It's really back to the old days of tipping the toaster upside down and shaking it if you want to clean it properly . This is especially so if you have the odd raisin escape from fruit bread or buns . The 'Select ' dial is on the side of the machine , the other buttons and lift lever are at the end . Clearly the toaster was designed to sit with its back against the wall . If your bench space is limited and you need to sit it at right angles to the bench top the dial is not easily seen , neither is the crumb tray able to be removed without turning the unit .

Small considerations really .

I like it , a lot , it doesn't dry bread out , you can choose different settings for crumpets and other breads and it does make a difference , it's quick enough and is not so big as to make a statement on the kitchen bench . Yes there are cheaper toasters available , few are better though .

Best coffee and herb grinder – Mine is going well for years. You can’t find better grinder than this.

After using the Breville The Barista Express Impress BES876 for several months, I can confidently say it has transformed my morning coffee routine.… Read more

As someone who enjoys espresso-based drinks but doesn't have professional barista experience, I found this machine to be an excellent balance between automation and hands-on coffee making.

One of the standout features is the Impress Puck System. It takes much of the guesswork out of dosing and tamping, helping create a consistent coffee puck every time. Before using this machine, I often struggled with uneven tamping and messy preparation, but the BES876 makes the process cleaner and far more reliable.

The built-in grinder is another highlight. Freshly grinding beans directly into the portafilter noticeably improves flavor and aroma compared to pre-ground coffee. The grind adjustment settings allow for fine-tuning, making it easy to experiment with different beans and achieve the desired extraction.

Espresso quality has been impressive. The machine produces rich, flavorful shots with a thick crema when paired with quality coffee beans. Temperature stability has been excellent, and once I learned the basics of dialing in my grind settings, I was able to consistently make café-quality drinks at home.

The steam wand performs very well for milk-based beverages. It creates smooth microfoam suitable for cappuccinos and lattes, and while it requires some practice, the results are rewarding. Making latte art became much easier as my technique improved.

Build quality feels premium throughout. The stainless-steel construction gives the machine a solid and durable feel, and the controls are intuitive enough that new users can become comfortable with them fairly quickly. Maintenance is straightforward, with clear reminders for cleaning cycles and descaling.

While the machine occupies a fair amount of counter space and carries a higher upfront cost than basic coffee makers, it easily justifies the investment for anyone who regularly buys espresso drinks from coffee shops. Over time, the savings and convenience add up significantly.

Overall, my experience with the Breville The Barista Express Impress BES876 has been outstanding. It delivers excellent espresso, simplifies the preparation process, and provides an enjoyable coffee-making experience that bridges the gap between beginner-friendly convenience and genuine barista-style control.

I have had this machine for approx. two and a half years, (the guarantee is for two years) when the frother started malfunctioning, and I was getting… Read more

an error message 'attach steam tip'? I use the machine for one coffee a day, occasionally two, and it is cleaned and descaled regularly as reminded by the automatically generated message. I contacted Nespresso re this fault, and they were great! I can't fault them. I packed up the machine and took it to the post office to be sent off for repair four days ago, postage is covered by Nespresso. (I had to buy a box and bubble wrap from Bunnings for approx. $6.00). Today I have received notification that it has been fixed and will be delivered back to me today, just in time for the weekend! I have been very happy with my purchase and really impressed that I wasn't out of pocket for the repair, and the quick turnaround. Hopefully my machine will last for many more years.

Little Bit More Toaster Needs an Upgrade – I have no idea what has happened to this toaster. My previous one was great, this one is not so great. Even on the highest number 6 on the dial + a… Read more

little bit more this is the results. So, if you are looking for a good all over toast browning forget this model. Overpriced and undercooks.

Excellent machine delivering great coffee every time. Ours is 18mth old and as photo shows, a great espresso. Please consider 2 aspects for great… Read more

coffee. The grind size, if too coarse it will pour to quickly leaving lno crema and lacking flavour. Too fine and it won't pour. Trial & error so grind at 6 if there are 12 settiings. Using min. quantity of beans till the right grind number is found. Don't use pre grond coffee as this is more suited to drip filter coffee. Once grind setting establishe, the tampering of the coffee should be firm so the coffee has a hard surface to the touch. Milk frother is easy to use, sink wand just below surface of milk. It should not bubble means wand not deep enough. A loud screeching sound and wand to near.bottom of jug. Raise or lower jug till a soft swishing sound is heard. The foam will then begin to form.I use filtered water which helps not having to descale frequently. We de scaled today, first time and the water was transparent brown, not bad at all. This machine passes all requirement for great coffee if the above note is observed. I use the cheapest beans, generally a 'home brand' and visitors always ask what coffee we use. I say it isn't the coffee, it's that machine. Iat machine that is responsible. I fully recommend this machine Thankyou Breville. Helen S.

Great coffee machine at the start, then........... Purchased 3.5 years ago. After first 1.5 years it had major overheating issues so reached out to… Read more

support and had an expensive service. Another year later the same issue but now the actual casing is melting due to the heat and we can't use. Reached out again to Breville Support providing the previous case numbers, photos etc. Their response was "Can you tell me what the issue is?" They obviously hadn't read the case (or previous case) notes or looked at the pics or information provided.

Customer "Support" eventually provided a 3rd party service company after requesting again (service provider different to the first time) and a $900 quote later aparantly it's my issue "your responsibility out of warranty" with no regard to fire safety or a faulty machine breaking down every year since purchase. Overheating is a common issue apparantly and Breville ignore the problem and don't stand by their product.

For a $3K machine you would expect it to last longer than 2 years and have ongoing over heating issues every year since to a point where the metal casing is melting.

Do your math before investing in Breville's expensive Coffee Machines. Their products are amazing when they work but they dont work for long and cost a fortune.

It is also dissapointing that they don't care about fire risks and customer safety.

I like this kettle very much as I like seeing the water through the glass - but the plastic insert in the centre of the lid cracks. Bought in May… Read more

2024 but multiple cracks appeared around 10 months later.

I took it back to TGG it’s an online only product so a wait of weeks followed without a kettle at home.

July 2025 - this time a large crack appeared within approximately 2 months of receiving the new replacement.

I rang TGG to ask if they could get the replacement in for me in advance, so that I can then swap over this faulty one as not having a kettle in the kitchen is quite difficult. Apparently they can’t order one in advance to replace this faulty one.

He suggested getting a different kettle and I suppose using the refund on the Breville towards the new one. It’s definitely a major fault with this compact kettle that the plastic lid insert will likely crack. It’s not caused by the user but the plastic that is used in the lid.

Eventually Breville posted me a new kettle. I hope they are able to change the plastic in the lid to something that does not crack
