Enjoy great coffee, made simple with the Breville Barista Slimline espresso machine. The 58mm commercial-size portafilter delivers maximum espresso flavour, while the single and double shot brewing presets provide just the right amount of coffee in every pour. Not just for espresso, this small coffee machine also features a powerful cool touch steam wand that creates velvety microfoam for expertly-made lattes, flat whites, cappuccinos and more. Cleaning is super simple thanks to the clever one-touch cleaning cycle, which keeps your machine working as it should for consistently great-tasting coffee. Compact in size, the Barista Slimline is ideal for smaller spaces, while its sleek design complements a range of kitchen interiors. A stainless steel top plate functions as a cup warmer as well as a space to keep tamp and milk jug handy. When not in use, neatly store your accessories in the built-in compartment.

My first machine
My wife doesn’t like coffee so that is why I have waited so long to get an espresso machine. This is my first attempt at becoming a barista. It does what it says and although I have only had it for 2 weeks I am pleased with my results. I have bought a decent tamper, distributor, and collar to stop any over flow when filling pod. I have not bought a separate grinder for that fresher taste. For a first compact machine I am well pleased on my way to become a proper coffee snob. I am trying to find the Neville single wall filter baskets on the web site, but no luck as yet.

Compact machine for great coffee
I love this coffee machine, it's a nice compact model which fits nicely on my kitchen worktops without taking up top much space. You put grounds into the porta filter handle and set the machine going. It will pour a preset amount for a single or double espresso or you can have it pour as much or as little coffee as you want. It then has the steaming wand to make up the warm throthy milk to make lattes and cappuccinos. Very impressed with the quality of drink this machine makes and it's easy to keep clean. Loving this new gadget in the kitchen and satisfies my urge to go to the coffee shop!

Sleek, slim with big taste and power.
From opening the box it's immediately obvious this imna premium product..
The look of the machine is fantastic and offers sleek design to any kitchen. Silver is such a great colour in the kitchen and this has a beautiful brushed steel look. I honestly can't get over the sleek slim design, it's so perfect and can fit anywhere in the kitchen.
Made my first coffee with ease. I just need to adjust my grind to be perfect. The instruction manual give a fantastic in depth amount of information to get things just right for your coffee. Quicker than spending an hour on YouTube.

Small but delivers a powerful espresso
So pleased to try this slimline espresso machine. I was apprehensive that a slimline machine could match my bigger machine, but I needn't of worried. The design is amazing and feels very durable. Easy to clean and maintain as well.
The machine offers single or double shot espresso which is fabulous and also a cool touch steam wand which steams your milk to perfection, for a tasty latte. I can't recommend this slimline espresso machine enough. It looks fabulous, delivers a powerful espresso and takes up hardly any room. Very impressed

My new favourite machine
I was literally looking for a machine the day before this came up! It's fantastic especially considering we don't have a lot of space. This is due to it not having a built in grinder so makes it very slim. I have bought pre ground coffee and I'm thinking of buying a separate grinder. It's extremely durable and I think it would take a lot to do any damage to it. Very easy to clean and I just keep a wipe close by for daily wiping. The filter baskets are very tight and difficult to remove but not impossible. The stainless steel milk jug is obviously very easy to clean. The drip tray is a bit small and needs emptying quite often. The maintenance schedule is handy to follow in the guide. The main accessory to buy alongside this would be a milk thermometer, and a grinder.

Sleek, compact, and great for beginners,
Really like this coffee machine so far! It looks super sleek and doesn’t take up much space on the counter, which is a big plus. The cleaning is simple and brewing is easy. Great little machine if you’re just getting into making coffee at home.
Only thing I’ve found is the portafilter is pretty tough to take off once it’s in, and the filter doesn’t seem to fit it perfectly. Other than that, it does the job well and I’m excited to enjoy homemade iced coffees in the mornings!

Excellent coffee
I bought this machine two weeks ago, and can honestly say it's great. My last machine broke so I rushed out and bought this one, a bit of a punt due to the lack of reviews around.
The coffee tastes fab and after a few days getting used to it I am very happy with it.
The porta filter is a bit stiff to get on and as previously mentioned in another review the drip tray fills up quickly.
These are minor issues, I would definitely buy the same one again.

I’ve become my own barista ☕️
What a smart piece of kit! I thought when I opened it that it would be difficult to use but it’s very simple to understand and get to grips with once you know what to do. The code is amazing il never have to go out to get my little fix when I can become my own barista, cleaning of the machine is pretty easy I have the silver one so it comes up gleaming! It’s sturdy and fits nice in my kitchen it’s definitely worth the purchase!
