The Breville Barista Express is Amazon’s no. 1 bestselling espresso machine — and for good reason. The Barista Express has stood the test of time, and even though it’s about six years old, it’s still revered as one of the best home espresso machines. And the best part?
Right now you can get the Breville Barista Express for just $499 at Amazon, which is the same price as the entry-level, sans-grinder Breville Bambino Plus. Yes, you basically get a free grinder. Most of the best coffee grinders start from around $200, going all the way up to $1,500+ (Mazzer Philos), so getting an espresso machine + grinder for $499 is a major steal.
We love the Breville Barista Express here at Tom’s Guide, and especially in my Coffee Lab, so you know this machine has the Tamp of Approval. It’s a good’un — grab it while you can. (For more deals, check our our Prime Day deals live blog).
The Breville Barista Express is a bean-to-cup, which means… it does everything, bean to cup. You put whole coffee beans in the grinder — and you get espresso out. No messing around with manually grinding beans.
Because this is a grinder machine, it’s inherently more expensive than espresso machines without a grinder. Grinders don’t come cheap! But at this discount, you’re saving $200 — the price of a Baratza Encore ESP (Breville’s grinder brand).
As the Breville Bambino Plus is $499 at full price, if you grab the Barista Express during this deal, you’re basically getting a free grinder. I don’t know about you, but that’s a major win for me.
We gave the Barista Express a coveted Editor’s Choice 4.5-star review, and for good reason — it’s one of the best espresso machines on the market.
