Breville VCF187 Barista Sense Bean to Cup Coffee Machine

Just brilliant!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I absolutely love how this coffee machine has transformed my kitchen bar! It’s such a great size and fits perfectly. Produces great lattes with its handy milk frother and adjustable pressure. Quiet compared to my last coffee machine and feels brilliant quality, so can imagine this is going to be super durable. A brilliant coffee machine!

Easy to use

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love this coffee machine. It’s easy to use and gives a good quality coffee shop coffee at home. The milk frother is great for lattes. It is easy enough to clean (with one touch cleaning) and the size of it means it’s not taking over kitchen space.

Fantastic coffee

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was so excited to try the Breville Barista Sense Espresso Machine. I have wanted to get a coffee machine for a long time and this one did not disappoint. Arrived packaged really well with all the items needed to create a great coffee. It was much lighter than I expected and slim to fit well on your worktop. It is a little tall so may not fit under all kitchen cupboards. There was not much to put together however I found the coffee grinder pot a little stiff and was worried I was going to break it but it then suddenly shifted to the correct position to put it on top (thinking it is just because it is brand new). I watched the online video on how to use it and it was easy to follow and had clear instructions for beginners like me. The next step was adding the coffee beans - easy peasy. Just the smell along of coffee beans is divine too. I set the grinder to 15 as suggested and put the portafilter in and tapped down twice for a couple cup. It was so much fun to do and a light illuminates it so you can see the grounded beans as they come through. Very exciting. Next you have to pat down the coffee before adding back to the machine for the main event - making the coffee. Having the options to select the type of coffee by a push of a button was super easy and the coffee came through at the perfect pace (there are also instructions to get the correct flow depending on your coffee beans). Once the coffee had poured I added a little water before the milk. Again this is a simple push on and off of a button for your desired amount. Next onto the steaming of the milk. Now I have only seen this in a shop by a barista so was a little nervous - I did not need to be. You can select the temperature based on the milk type you are using and the machine only heats up to this and once at the right temperature it cuts off. Amazing! Once the milk was ready it was added to the coffee and OMG I am a barista! The coffee was delightful and so good to be able to make coffee of this quality in your own home. I am converted and cannot wait to try hot chocolate using the milk steamer. Overall I am super impressed with the Breville Barista Sense Espresso Machine. It looks great, is slimline for your home, easy to use. And my house smells great.I don’t think I’ll need to visit a coffee shop again!

Great Cafè coffees, but at home.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Cafè style coffee but at home. I’ve always wanted a coffee machine for the home but have been worried about how complex they may be. Well this product definitely didn’t take much learning. It comes with a QR code that allows you to watch and learn whilst you use it. Admittedly my coffee art needs a little work but the coffees themselves are lovely. You also get the option to program the blends if you get overburdened with granules. It’s not overly loud, infact it’s quieter than other kitchen appliances. So noise won’t be a worry. It’s very well made by the looks of things and not loads of plastic like lots of today’s products are. It comes with cleaning utensils in the back of the drain tray. It also comes with multiple attachments for different coffee shots and the ability to put it on a self clean cycle. It seems very durable and reliable from what I have used so far and am excited to set my coffee area up and treat friends and family to a proper coffee. The hopper on the top holds enough for about 8 double shot coffees, so for me I refill it maybe 2 a week. Which is good because it means the beans arent left to turn in the hopper. You can set the extraction to what you enjoy, for me personally, I enjoy it around about 17. The only improvement I’d like to see is the addition of a hot water supply for teas. But that’s being extremely picky on my part.

Amazing

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It looks stylish, high quality, and makes delicious coffee at home. The build in grinder is very convenient, and it’s easy to adjust the settings to get the perfect espresso. The milk frother works really well too, creating smooth creamy foam for cappuccinos and lattes. Highly recommend

Brilliant machine

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using the Breville Barista Sense for a week now and I can honestly say it’s the best machine, easy to set up and didn’t take that long. I’m no expert but it makes cafe quality coffee from the comfort of my kitchen. I love the fact that I can make the coffee to the strength I love, grinding the beans is easy and the milk frother works great which makes , my lattes (my fav) come out smooth and creamy. The overall look of the machine is stylish and modern. Cleaning the machine is easier than I thought it would be.

My mornings never been easier , this machine makes consistently delicious cafe quality coffee at home with minimal effort

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As a busy mum my mornings are usually very rush , so having a great coffee at home has become a little daily ritual that I really looking forward to. The Breville barista sense has made it so easy to enjoy cafe style coffee without leaving the house. I love that it grinds the fresh coffee beans for every cup , and the coffee tastes so much richer and smoother than I was making before. The automatic frothing is one of my favorite features because it gives me perfectly textured milk with hardly any effort, whether I’m making a latte or a flat white. The built in grinder , tempsense steam wand and one touch cleaning also makes it really practical for every day use ! Even though there are lots of settings to customise your coffee , I found it surprisingly easy to get started , I need to mention that come with a qr code with step by step instructions that saves you lot of time figuring out how to use it. It’s become part of my morning routines and feels that I’m bringing my favorite coffee shop to my kitchen . If you enjoy good coffee and you want a machine that’s simple enough for everyday use but still produces a good barista quality results I’d definitely recommend this one .

Amazing!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Absolutely over the moon with this! I am a coffee addict so this is like the best thing ever I could have been sent to try! So easy to use too. Not bulky, fits nicely on the counter too. Sturdy and will last for many many years. The grinding of the beans is perfect and you can choose different grain sizes of the beans. This will definitely get plenty of use. Also a milk heater for lattes for my other half! Win win for the both of us!!! Thank you so much!

Easy to set up and use.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a beautiful coffee machine. So easy to set up and use. Proper tasting coffee exactly like coffee shop coffee comes from this machine. I haven’t found a machine at home that can match a coffee shops but this definitely does. One touch button to clean the machine. I particularly like the milk frother as this really gives it that coffee shop feel. Heats to whatever temperature you prefer. And has one cup or two cup option for coffee size. Very good sizing to fit in even the smallest kitchens. I feel this machine would last a long time.
