10 Year Ownership Review!
I've owned my Sage Barista Express for 10 years now and it has been an outstanding investment, probably the best investment I've ever made. The build quality, reliability and consistently great coffee it produces have made it a true standout in my kitchen. Over a decade of daily use, it's delivered excellent value for money - a daily cost spread over the 10 years of around 16p per day! I couldn't be more pleased with how well it's performed and is still going strong. Just to note, that if you want to push a button and have a coffee made for you, this kind of machine is not what you're looking for. But if you're passionate about coffee and enjoy the process of making amazing coffee, then look no further! SUPERB.

Amazing Machine!!! Absolutely Recommend it!!!
I had my Barista Express 870 from 02/2016 until 05/2025. I waited that long to write a review to really use it and test out longevity of it. I used it daily several times throughout these 9 years and it always performed and did a great job. I swapped it out eventually after a transitory blew on the PCB board and I didn't feel like getting it replaced. I doubt other machines from other manufacturers actually last that long.

Inconsistent
This is a very inconsistent machine. I can pull a shot with zero issues, pull a second and get half of what I should. I have reprogrammed it about every two weeks since Christmas. It has been cleaned and descaled. It’s very frustrating. Other than that issue, it is generally easy to use and we have enjoyed using it. We would recommend it but it takes patience.

Have had mine for 10 years
I’ve had my machine for 10 years. Works pretty well for being that old. Grinder nob fell off and kind of produces more than needed even on low setting after replacing it. But overall great product. Looking to maybe upgrade to a newer version.

Lemon!!!
My son and friend have the same machine, I have to clean the machine more than they do combined. I have warranty work done because it stopped extraction, but no one can tell me what was fix or replaced. Now the grinder stops working. Their solution is to change the burr settings drastically so the extraction has changed requiring me to change grind amount and time of extraction. I have been using the same bean since I got it, the same ones my son and friend use. Breville excuse? Do a descale and the light turns off, all good! NO! My frequency is more than two others combined! The machine not grinding was blamed on the beans…..the same ones I have been using .

Stamina. Hasn’t skipped a beat in 8yrs!
I reckon our Barista Express has made over 2.5k cups of coffee since purchasing it with gift vouchers for our wedding in 2017. Sure, I look after it but not half as much as it’s looked after me!
