Very good quality
After I read the instruction a couple of times. I was able to make one of the best cups of coffee I have had in a long time. Easy to use once understood the process. I like the fact you can adjust the grinder to a slower pace if needed but no matter what setting it grinds the beans very well. It is built well and feels like it will last a long while. I also like the fact it will do 2 expresso's at the same time or 1 double shot for those times when I'm feeling tired and need a pick me up. The frother is decent too especially like the fact I can froth up the milk while the coffee is brewing and pouring into my cup.

Barista in my kitchen
This is such a straightforward and easy to use coffee machine. No fuss, no unnecessary containers and tubes. Coffee grind can be manually adjusted, and where it can take a few try, it's a great and helpful feature. The process is really easy, coffee machine has enough space to use a larger cup. It also has a function of conscious hot water which is really handy. I like the fact that I can steam/froth the milk to my liking. The coffee comes at perfect temperature and the size of the drink is entirely my choice. Machine is very quiet, and it heats up quickly. All in all it is a great little machine and I very happy with it. It's like having a private coffee shops on my counter top.

Just like a coffee shop
I had lots of different coffee machines over the years, but this espresso machine wins. The coffee that comes out of this is the same quality you get from a proper coffee machine in a restaurant. I thought it would be more work than my pods machine but really it’s not that bad. You do have to clean it once a week, however the instructions are clear, so it’s pretty straightforward. It did take me a few tries to find the right beans I like and get the settings right, but once that’s done it’s sorted. And you can make cappuccino and latte too with nice foamy milk to impress your guests.

Great coffee machine
This is our third bean-to-cup machine. Like any of these machines, there's a bit of a learning curve to make the perfect coffee, like getting the grind settings right, but this is really easy to use and adjust so it didn't waste too much coffee getting right. The machine itself is stylish, looking great on the kitchen surface. The frother has proved really effective on a range of milk types. It's easy to clean too. One negative for some might be the lack of a digital display, but I don't mind that and it's one less electronic component to potentially go wrong!

Coffee - your way
I’m really happy with this product, not only does it brew really well it has a ton of features so you can really make your perfect coffee
Lots of know hows and tips to clean, the design of the machine is great and not too bulky, gives a smooth espresso and the milk frother is fab
The noise is a little noisy but it’s nothing you wouldn’t hear at a coffee shop, the machine feels and looks durable and the price point is great
I paired mine with some stunning beans but you could really use any
Great machine! Really happy

A Great At Home Barista Experience
I've been testing the Breville VCF186 Barista Classic, and overall, I'm genuinely impressed. It’s a solid, user-friendly espresso machine that brings café-quality coffee into your kitchen with minimal learning curve.
I’ve tried the single shot, double shot, and steam wand—all performed really well. The espresso is rich with a smooth crema, and the steam wand froths milk beautifully for lattes and cappuccinos.
It boasts a sleek, professional design and feels sturdy on the counter. The controls are intuitive, and cleaning is easy thanks to the removable drip tray and filter basket.
While it’s not the cheapest machine out there, it offers great value for money. You get consistently good espresso, quality milk frothing, and the satisfaction of being your own barista at home.

Changed our love for coffee for the better!
Beautiful machine. Such a lovely modern design and easy to navigate once you know how. The setting to adjust the amount of coffee grind being dispensed is a brilliant feature. The steamer gets to a great temperature and creates a beautifully glossy milk. The build quality is excellent. Every part feels robust, durable and high quality, from the stainless steel body to the portafilter and controls. It feels like a premium machine that is built to withstand daily use, while still looking great in any kitchen.
