Great coffee machine! Really pleased with how easy and simple it is to use. Would recommend!

After owning my original Breville Dual Boiler BES920 for 9.5 years, the decision to purchase another one took less than 10 minutes. That’s probably… Read more

the best endorsement I can give any product.

My previous machine produced excellent coffee throughout its life and required no servicing. The only noticeable decline after nearly a decade was reduced steam pressure for milk texturing, which is understandable given its age and daily use.

I purchased the new BES920 in the Sea Salt White finish, and it looks fantastic in the kitchen. The colour gives the machine a modern, premium appearance and is a refreshing change from my original stainless-steel model.

From the very first coffee, I could tell the machine was performing at its best. The heat-up time is faster, the steam pressure is significantly stronger, and milk texturing is quicker and easier. Most impressive was the espresso itself. My very first shot extracted beautifully at just over 9 bar, produced excellent crema, and delivered a smooth, balanced flavour. With medium-roast beans and a brew temperature of 94°C, the result was one of the best coffees I’ve made at home.

Having used the same model for almost 10 years, I was able to appreciate how much performance had gradually been lost in my old machine without me realising it. The new BES920 reminded me just how capable this machine is when operating at full factory performance.

Over the years I’ve looked at many other espresso machines, but I never found a reason to move away from the Dual Boiler. It offers outstanding espresso quality, excellent steam performance, and reliable day-to-day operation. For home coffee enthusiasts who want café-quality coffee without spending several times more on a prosumer machine, I believe the BES920 remains one of the best choices available.

I would happily recommend this machine to anyone. After 9.5 years with my first BES920, I purchased the exact same model again without hesitation. For me, that says everything.

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.

After reading the reviews I decided on this frother, it really makes good fine milk bubbles and lovely froth and almost as good as steamed froth.… Read more

Very easy to clean. I never buy coffee out now, I'm totally satisfied with the coffees I can make at home now so it's already paid for itself. Would fully recommend this frother. Bought from The Good Guys Bundall

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.

Best of the best !!!! – Best and excellent❤️ I bought this model 2009 and juicer still working . Quick and easy to juice in this. I have no complaint. If the product last me this long. It just tells me one thing it’s very Reliable !!!! This is model BJE 400/410 Show details

toaster. There is a significant quality difference between Breville and Sunbeam. The coating is smooth and toast comes out golden brown on most breads. There was a smell initially, I think its the coating, but I got rid of it by spreading oil on the coating, heating it up and wiping the hot oil off.

group head seal for $25 and it works flawlessly every single day for the last 6 years, and before that our last one lasted 7 years. I've saved tens of thousands over the past 13 years on these two machines. If my wife and I each bought one a coffee a day from a Starbucks etc say average cost over past 13 years is $4 for a flat white, that would equate to $37,960 (yep thirty seven THOUSAND dollars over 13 years) or I could buy a $700 Breville and fresh beans every week - and woohoo savings all the way down....

This Machine has been going strong for over 5 years now with no issues. Doing the usual maintenance and cleaning and its still working like its brand… Read more

new.

It has decent enough features and it's always nice being able to instantly steam the milk during or right after pulling a shot. If you're a DIYer you can also implement quite a few mods to give it even more features and functions. For the price this is an excellent machine. Whether this is the best option now in 2025 - probably not but if you do get it know that this coffee machine can pull excellent shots when paired with a more capable grinder and will last quite a while.

The grinder is great for its price and features, but once you delve deeper into the coffee world you will quickly realise its limitations and will eventually be looking for something better.

3.5 stars. My parents blessed us with this toaster in 2015, so we've been using it over a decade now... when it allows us to use it. We absolutely… Read more

appreciate the space and flexibility to fit thick slices of bread (sourdough etc), although it is only a 4-slice toaster when you use average-shaped/sized bread. i.e. You cannot place 2 slices of, say, fancier sourdough that's more oblong-shaped next to each other without an end sticking out.

We like and often use the "A Bit More" button, as well as the "Lift & Look". The crumpet button works well for crumpets and English muffins, and the frozen button does help to toast frozen bread well. The fruit button can be hit and miss depending on the type of fruit bread you use. Thin bread tends to burn, but the thick slice or sourdough fruit bread cooks well.

We're a household of 7-8, so the toaster is used most days and several times in a row. This is where we've had issues using the toaster because of the sheer back-to-back volume. Basically, the toaster will just keep cooking and not lift, signalled by flashing buttons and a clicking sound. Not sure if it's a sign of overheating, so we have to switch off and unplug, rescue the bread, and leave the toaster a day. I was stressed about it the first time it happened 5 years ago, but now it's just par for the course.

We also call our toaster Trip since it's usually the appliance to trip our electricity off if I've got other things running (like the dishwasher and/or dryer). I now also plan its use so that breakfast and lunchtimes don't shut our house down because Trip spikes the electricity.

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.

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!

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 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.

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

**⭐️⭐️ 2 stars — Inconsistent, fiddly and frustrating when things don't go as expected** I originally rated my Breville Bambino Plus BES500 **5… Read more

stars**. I like the machine and, when everything works as expected, it makes very good coffee and the automatic milk steaming is excellent.

However, after using it for some time, I have now reduced my rating to **2 stars** because this is not the first time I have carefully followed cleaning instructions only to get an unexpected result — followed by a significant amount of frustrating trial and error before I can get the machine back to normal operation.

My most recent experience was the cleaning cycle.

I followed the instructions, but the machine did not behave in the way I expected from the instructions. I ended up spending **around 1½ hours** trying to work out what the machine was doing, whether the cleaning cycle had actually completed, and what I needed to do next.

Eventually the machine returned to normal, but I have **no idea what I actually did that fixed it**.

That is the problem.

A routine maintenance procedure should not leave the owner wondering whether the machine is working correctly or whether they have somehow put it into the wrong mode.

The user guide is also inadequate when something doesn't go according to plan. What is missing is a **simple, clearly explained reset/recovery procedure**:

**If the machine gets into an unexpected state, how do I completely reset it and restart the procedure from the beginning?**

Instead, the instructions largely assume that the machine will behave exactly as described. When it doesn't, the owner is left trying combinations of buttons and procedures without knowing whether they are making things better or worse.

Breville's documentation does describe the cleaning cycle and says that once it is complete the machine should return to ready normal mode. But my experience is that the instructions are not sufficiently helpful when the actual behaviour doesn't match what the documentation says.

This has happened more than once with this machine, and each time it has resulted in **significant wasted time and frustration**.

For me, that means the Bambino Plus is not as straightforward or user-friendly as I initially believed.

**When it works, I like it. But a coffee machine costing this much should not require so much wasted time fiddling to recover from a routine cleaning procedure.**

My rating has therefore gone from **5 stars to 2 stars**.

**Good coffee machine when everything behaves normally — but too inconsistent, too fiddly and with inadequate instructions for dealing with unexpected behaviour.**

filter needed replacing and then turn itself off. Some research online suggests this is a known fault with this model. I sent it to Breville once (while still under warranty) after a couple months I received the machine back. It happened again about 6 months later, when the machine was out of warranty. Would not recommend.

pastry chef, so that helped with the learning curve on how to use this. With some trial and error, we've been able to get out some tasty treats.

Pros:

Versatile Settings - offers a variety of hardness settings, allowing us to customize the texture of the ice cream. From soft serve to firm consistency - but it does take a few times to get used to.

Large Capacity - With a capacity of up to 1.5 liters, this ice cream maker can accommodate sizable batches, making it suitable for serving larger gatherings or households.

Cons:

Noise Level - During operation, the Breville Smart Scoop BCI600 emits noticeable noise, which may be disruptive in quieter environments or when used during gatherings.

Bulkiness - this ice cream maker occupies significant space on countertops and cannot be left on the bench at all times. It's quite bulky and a bit hard to move in and out when we need to use it.

Pre-Cooling Feature - The pre-cooling function of the Breville is supposed to accelerates the chilling process, reducing preparation time and enabling quicker dessert preparation - but it's not that great. We found it easier to just put the bowl in the freezer before use instead.

Price Point - this is priced higher than many basic ice cream makers. I'm not 100% certain it's worth the higher price point.

Conclusion: While the Breville Smart Scoop BCI600 Ice Cream Maker offers versatility and automation in ice cream making, it comes with drawbacks such as noise level, bulkiness, and higher price point. Despite this, I'm overall happy with the product, and it delivers what it's supposed to.

Overall Rating: 3.5/5

Pretty happy – I've had the Multi Chef for more than 7 years although it's only been in the last few months that I've used it regularly. First, it was to cook rice,… Read more

and for that it does a great job. I use it several times a week for rice. Simply use the correct water & rice ratio, and the machine will turn itself off and beep when the rice is done. Much better than cooking on the stove top where you have to keep an eye on it and obviously turn it off when it's done, or in the microwave where it would always boil over and make a mess. I sometimes use the steamer basket to cook veggies at the same time as cooking rice, which is very handy and efficient. I also use the slow cooker low & high functions several times a week now, and most of the time I preface the slow cook with the sear/saute. I LOVE that there is a sear function on the machine so that I can brown meats and saute onions/garlic etc directly in the slow cooker, rather than having to dirty another pan. The sear could be a bit stronger, but all in all it's fine. I wish it had a timer/delayed start though, for the days when I go to the office but only need it to cook for a few hours. Without a delayed start, I'm restricted to recipes that require at least 8 hours of cooking. The non-stick coating on the inner pot insert is pretty cr*p though, it's totally scratched even though I only use silicone or wood utensils. I think the bones of meat sitting in the pot is enough to scratch it. Luckily it is possible to buy a replacement pot as a spare part - I think that's really important and it's great that Breville offers this, rather than forcing consumers to throw away the whole unit because of one damaged part.

Edited to add on 3/4/2024: My machine has stopped working now, after owning it for 8 years and using it regularly for 1 year. The heating element stopped heating. I won't repurchase because of the non-stick coating on the inner pot, which flakes too easily and I can't imagine how much of it has gotten into our food. That was by far my biggest complaint about this machine. I would easily have repurchased it if the inner pot was stainless steel.

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