Breville Barista Signature Espresso Machine

VCF160

Available exclusively at Currys

The Breville Barista Signature Espresso Maker delivers better taste by design, with a large 58mm group head inspired by commercial coffee machines to give better extraction for maximum espresso flavour, and a Dual Thermoblock heating system that brews and steams simultaneously so you can savour your coffee sooner. The intelligent integrated bean grinder provides feedback on the correct amount of coffee grounds for 1 or 2 shot dosage, with 30 grind settings for a totally customisable flavour profile depending on your coffee preferences. Less Mess Grind* anti-static technology also ensures that grounds stay where they belong (and not on your counter). Want to time your optimal extraction? The precision extraction timer displays real-time results clearly on the easy-to-read LED screen, so you can enjoy the most flavourful espresso every time you make it. For expertly-made lattes, flat whites and cappuccinos, the full-size cool touch steam wand produces a dry steam that creates velvety microfoam milk, or use the hot water dispenser to create a classic Americano.

Breville Barista Signature Espresso Machine is rated 4.9 out of 5 by 10.
Rated 5 out of 5 by from A product that I really like I will start by saying that I am a coffee lover, so having a coffee machine that has the bean to cup option has always been my greatest desire. I love the smell of freshly ground coffee, so this is a thing I love to experience in the morning. I have found the Breville Barista Signature coffee machine to be so easy and instinctively to use. The design is very nice, and I really like the stainless steel design. The fact that I can prepare two coffees at the same time and also prepare the milk for my morning coffee is definitely a plus. I absolutely love it, and I recommend it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Wow So many thoughtful touches! So many thoughtful design features on this machine. You can tell they've taken feedback onboard and espresso drinkers have designed this machine, from the excess coffee grind disposal bin to the magnet in the tamp holder. It's genius. I could never quite master latte art with my delonghi and I think it was the steam wand.. I get it basically every time now with this machine I'm so happy. The dual boiler is a game changer, not waiting round watching coffee go cold. The reservoir is huge so I'm not constantly topping up. The filter is small and simple to change, even has clever built in month reminder. The built in grind setting in the bean hopper is so intelligent and saves having more buttons on the fascia. I know some machines have so many buttons it ruins the aesthetic and scares off customers. This is simple to use, but also you're able to customise settings and programmes making it your own if default isn't for you. Honestly I have had delonghi and Sage machines but this blew me away with how well it has been designed. If you love espresso and you're unsure just go ahead and buy this machine you won't regret it. For a fully fledged espresso bean to cup machine, with dual boiler and huge water reservoir it's actually quite compact compared to rival machines with the same capability. It's quality materials, reassuringly metal, no fake chrome and plastic.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Amazing freshly brewed coffee and aroma Looks great! Very professional looking, the instructions are a little daunting initially especially as a coffee novice, however after a quick google , I found it extremely easy too use. As a family we have all tried different coffees and have found they taste exactly like any specialty coffee shop! We are loving trying different coffees and this will save us so much rather than buying coffees from shops, A real centre piece to any kitchen.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Feeling like an at home barista! 🥹♥️ Firstly thank you so much Influenster for the opportunity to test this machine - this is by far one of my favourite tests as a complete coffee addict who never thought she would own a proper coffee machine! The machine comes with a very comprehensive and easily readable guide which I really appreciate (I’m usually someone who thinks I can do things without reading these but I wanted to ensure I done everything properly). Unfortunately my plan for where I wanted to put this in the kitchen didn’t work out but we are in the process of rearranging so I had to adapt a little for the time being. Once it’s in its proper ‘pride of place’ I will update the photo in my review! 😊 Upon opening the box and setting up the coffee machine there were some stickers to remove that left a bit of residue which was unfortunate but nothing a quick clean couldn’t sort! Certain parts of the machine require washing prior to use and then you can get on with trying out the coffee itself! I ordered some coffee beans for the first time so looked up those recommended for a balanced flavour and set on my way to testing the machine itself! 🫘 The guide does assist with letting you know that the coffee should come out in 20 - 30 seconds (less - under extraction more - over extraction). With that in mind I’m absolutely sure my first attempt didn’t meet the optimum extraction guide! However with some time and practice of being an ‘at home barista’ and using the machine to its full potential I have no doubt every time will be perfect! I like to drink different coffee types whether it be white americano, cappuccino, latte and iced variations and have spent a lot of money on picking up coffee on the go for ease and for the barista taste whereas now with this I’ll be able to make my coffee to go myself which is an absolute dream. Key points: • All components needed are included • Easy to assemble with the User Guide provided • Requires time to get it right if like me you are used to instant coffee at home • Digital screen makes it user friendly

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Be your own barista! I have used many coffee makers but this was my first try with an espresso machine like this. First opinion: the machine is sleek, compact and comes with the parts you need (though might I suggest including a little glass/cup for shots because it is quite a compact set up, people may struggle depending on cup size, plus it would make crafting espresso based drinks easier. Use: I made a couple of errors in starting it up, and there are quite a lot of small parts. In addition, I was worried about forcing some of the pieces because they are plastic- the bean hopper did not seem to want to fit. But once I had it all in order, I had a drink with frothed milk in about a minute and a half. I think there will be some finessing and practice needed, but once you know how it works, it is easy! The instructions are helpful and include some useful info about how to perfect things. I am really impressed by how digital this is. Everything is preset, so it takes a lot of thinking out of it and makes the process quick and easy to do daily. Note: I was given the opportunity to try this in exchange for my honest opinion.
