Good Points: Love making lattes with it. They turn out great.
Bad Points: We have had our machine almost two years and it's broke.
General comments: We have saved alot of money by making coffees at home with this Starbucks Barista, but a $350 dollar machine should last longer than two years. We are having electrical problems also. It pops the breaker. After you clean the water reservoir it takes along time to prime the system.

Made good cappuccino. But every time I plug it in, my outlet circuit breaks. Can't see any shorts occurring so I'm out. But to have this problem after the short period of time, it wasn't worth the money!

Bought a Starbucks Barista. It broke but I didn't receive any service or help when out of guarantee period, making it an expensive mistake for me!

A great machine. From the first cup, the flavor has been great. Just follow the simple directions. Good quality.

I would recommend the Starbucks Barista over others I've seen friends and family own because it simply makes better coffee drinks.

I love my Barista! I don't use it as often as I used to, but it's still nice to have. You have to be careful to avoid air locks, so ensure that you "bleed" the system every time (it only takes a second). Also, don't forget to wipe the steam wand thoroughly, as milk can dry and block it.

I have been using a Starbucks Barista Athena for about 6 years or so, regularly at a friend's and absolutely loved the coffee, and the crema it produced. The coffee was not bitter and I was so impressed.
Finally I purchased one of the newer ones as they were on sale.
Each cup has been bitter, although I did the exact same procedures and used the same coffee as in the Athena... but I am really disappointed and am going to return the machine.

This machine has saved me over 5000.00 in coffee drinks and after three years it continues to crank out the lattes!

The Starbucks Barista machine is an absolutely wonderful product. I actually look forwad to getting up in the morning because I start the day with a home-made cup of Starbucks cappucino.

I've had my starbucks barista machine for over three years now, I loved it when I first got it and I still love it. The filling of the cold, fresh water everytime you use it and the priming every time you use it becomes second nature. It makes exellent esspresso. Cappuccino takes a bit longer because of the steaming involved but worth the effort.

Having acquired a huge taste for coffee, and espresso especially, it was inevitable that I would purchase an espresso machine eventually. Despite the bewildering array of machines on offer I decided to go with the Starbucks Barista machine.
Buying it was easy (I even managed to get a 10% discount for walking away with an ex-display model) and subsequent visits to my local branch for advice on using it were met by helpful, patient staff.
The machine itself proved a joy to use. The process ...

With the Starbucks barista espresso machine, you have to prime the pump, clean the dregs from last time, clean the steam wand etc but if you NEED good espresso and americano like I do then it just has to be done. I've waited a year to buy this espresso machine and got it when it was 20% off with a milk thermometer, shot glasses and plenty of Starbucks espresso beans thrown it. Anyone know how to get a good froth on the milk?
