This machines makes the best shot of espresso ever found. I absolutely love espresso and I live by it every day.

Great Espresso!!

Pros Excellent Crema & Steaming!
Cons Somewhat pricey but worth it.
Recommended it? Yes

My Krups Espresso Nova 3000 pro crema gave up the battle. It almost made it to its 3 year birthday. I thought that this machine would last better then that. It typically made 2 doubles per day, it never really did that great of a job, very temperamental machine. The grind and the tamping had to be... Read full review »

Pros Outstanding machine
Cons Expense (Look on ebay)
Recommended it? Yes

I purchased the Barista Espresso machine because it seemed to be very well built, and Starbuck's offers a two-year warranty.

I considered the Krups Bravo machine because of the consumer rating, but was afraid that I would be limited during entertaining by the small water capacity of the... Read full review »

Best home machine for an old pro

3 Helpfuls 4 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros great crema, good pressure, best deal for the dollar
Cons noisy, steam pressure inconsistent when compared to commercial quality
Recommended it? Yes

This espresso machine is the best home machine I have seen on the market. After working in a coffee shop for several years I feared that I would only be able to enjoy espresso with crema and foamed milk at home with a $2500+ machine. After searching the market I was happy to find the Starbucks... Read full review »

Pros Easy to use, very sturdy

Recommended it? Yes

First of all, I'd like to thank all of you who took the time to write reviews. Based on those rave reviews and the information from the lady that was helping us out at Starbucks, we decided to buy this machine. We absolutely love it. It makes great cappucinos and espressos! It's pretty easy to use... Read full review »

The lure of lattes...

Pros Ease of use, never runs out of steam, large water capacity.
Cons No automatic shut-off
Recommended it? Yes

The lure of lattes and and cappucinos had always eluded me. I was NOT going to spend $3.50 or more to get an exotic caffeine fix when I could get a perfectly good fix for $2.00....that was before I tried them.

I got hooked one cold December night when my friends and I ducked into a little... Read full review »

Pros Great for coffee lovers
Cons None
Recommended it? Yes

There is nothing like it... My wife recently purchased a "Starbucks Barista" Espresso machine, it is the best small appliance that we have ever owned.

Here is my opinion of this great machine:

Not only is there an instruction booklet with the unit, but also a video explaining the... Read full review »

The perfect home espresso machine!

bycaffeinated Dec 11, 1999
7 Helpfuls 8 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros robust, easy-to-use, and reliable
Cons slightly short steaming wand
Recommended it? Yes

The Starbucks Barista is the perfect home machine for the espresso lover. It's a pump-driven machine that's strong enough to take regular brewings with flair, and consistently brews great espresso with lovely crema. I got mine as a gift a few years ago and it's the best gift I ever got -- I use it... Read full review »

Pros Sturdy, made to last.
Cons A bit pricey when not on sale.
Recommended it? Yes

I once worked in an office with an espresso machine for the use of the employees. The machine was used by roughly 60 to 100 people every day. Get in line. This machine took a beating as well as being easy to use. It performed flawlessly day after day.(I was there for 4 months). A few months later I... Read full review »

Pros A high quality cuppa, and a lot of ritual
Cons A little more difficult to use than many espresso makers
Recommended it? Yes

If you're anything like me, you spend a lot of time thinking about, brewing, sipping, gulping, sniffing, grinding or procuring some kind of coffee beverage. Until I obtained the Starbucks Barista, I also spent a lot of money on the more expensive of these beverages, including mochas, lattes,... Read full review »
