Enjoy great coffee, made simple with the Breville Barista Classic 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. The built-in conical burr grinder with Auto Dose delivers the correct amount of grounds for your shot, while anti-static technology ensures over 42x less mess**, meaning coffee grounds stay where they belong (and not on your counter). Not just for espresso, this bean to cup 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.

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.

Every kitchen of a coffee lover should have one.
Great product that every kitchen of coffee lovers should have. It arrived well packaged and clear instructions with how to set it up and use it. That made such a huge difference it was clear and easy to follow the set up and how to use it.
Machine is easy to use and feels very well built. Coffee comes out beautiful and love the milk steamer!!! It's also easy to clean after use.
The product is definitely high end in the finish and appearance of a quality product.

Great household coffee machine
This machine is quick and easy to use. Makes a great tasting coffee. Can be a little messy with the coffee grinder, overfills. Love that it is an all in one machine, milk frother is fab, takes a little time to heat up. Would be good if this pre-heated when machine is turned on. Easy to clean, however instructions vague on easy clean button. Overall, love this machine, would recommend it to anyone. Just knocked a star off for the points mentioned.

Get one!!
Wow!! I have been wanting a ‘proper’ coffee machine for years! Now I finally have one thanks to Influenster 😍 absolutely amazing, I hate paying for coffees from Costa, now I just have to go downstairs to brew the perfect coffee instead of driving to Costa. The milk frother does just that, gives you the most velvety froth ever! I do find cleaning the spout with soda water works a treat! Self cleans, and looks beautiful on my kitchen side

Fantastic
This is an amazing machine, I have had others and this just doesn't compare. The ability to go from bean to cup in less than minutes and make a delicious barista coffee is spot on. I'm not sure on how well the water tank will hold up as it feels flimsy but the process is simple and the coffee is great. Following the easy instructions the cleaning system is simple also. 10/10 would recommend

Extremely spacious size wise, and easy compartment
Easy to set up and change settings, heats up fast and pours a good espresso and the milk wand makes perfect milk once you get used to it. The Porta head does pop out of the grinder port if you press down to firm. Cleaning is super easy and accessible to access everywhere needed to and the maintenance of this is super easy. I’ve had this for 4 days now and I am totally over the moon!!!
