What do owners report about the Breville Barista Express Impress?

10 reports · 3 sources, across 6 topics

  • room above: Three reports, two of them from the maker's own review page, split on clearance above the machine: one says it would not fit under the kitchen cabinets that were tried, another says it sits under upper cabinets, and the third, from Reddit, notes that taking the hopper off needs headroom.
  • reaching the hopper: Three reports, two of them from the same maker's review page, describe the hopper: beans sometimes need tapping to drop into the grinder, but the hopper is removable to swap or clean beans, and lifting it off upward needs free space above the machine.
  • filling the tank where it stands: One report describes filling the tank in place with a pitcher, to avoid wear on the tank gasket.
  • beans that clog it: One report says beans jam at the hopper's feed openings about 30 percent of the time and have to be stirred loose.

Makers and retailers publish 4 of the 11 figures a fit check uses; the other 7 you measure on your counter like this:

  • Space behind it: Measure from the wall to the front edge of your counter with a tape, take away the depth above, and keep at least a hand's width of what is left behind the machine for its cable and air.
  • Space beside it: Measure the open counter between the wall or the next appliance on each side, take away the width above, and check that what is left gives your hand room at the knobs and the steam wand.
  • Space above it: Measure from the counter to the underside of your upper cabinet and compare it with the height above; the difference is the room you have to open a lid or reach the top of the machine.
  • Room to lift the water tank out: Stand the water tank on the counter, measure its height and add a hand's width to lift it out; compare that with the gap between the top of the machine and the underside of your upper cabinet.
  • Room above the grinder to load beans: Measure from the counter to the underside of your upper cabinet and take away the height above; what is left is the room over the hopper, and it has to take the lifted lid plus an open bag of beans tipped to pour.
  • Front working reach: Measure from the front edge of your counter to where the front of the machine will sit, and compare it with the length of your forearm; that is the room to lock in the handle, slide out the drip tray and stand at the machine.
  • Room for the steam wand to swing: Measure the open counter on the steam wand's side, from the machine to the nearest wall or appliance, and compare it with your milk jug's width plus a hand's width; the wand swings out into that space with the jug under it.

Nothing fits on its own, it fits a particular counter, so this page holds the figures and a setup makes the call.

Who is the Breville Barista Express Impress right for?

Your counter has 13 in (33 cm) [Bi-Rite Home Appliances prints 15 in (38 cm)] across and 15 in (38.1 cm) [Bi-Rite Home Appliances prints 13 in (33 cm)] front to wall to give it, with 16.3 in (41.3 cm) clear above.

The one thing to check first

The tank lifts out of the top, so the published height, 16.3 in (41.3 cm), is the height standing still, not the height in use. Measure the clearance above the counter, not just the counter. (retailer)

When is another machine the better pick?

Your counter is tighter than that. The Barista Express Espresso Machine (BES870XL) is 2.7 in (6.8 cm) shallower, in the same category, and we have its width, depth and height figures too.

How much power does the Breville Barista Express Impress draw?

Breville Barista Express Impress draws 1750 W at 120 V. Every figure behind this is a manufacturer's published dimension, and nobody has put a tape on one.

How do you refill the water tank?

The Breville Barista Express Impress tank comes out of the top.

What owners report

What owners say in their own reviews and posts, on the things no maker states: the tank, the hopper, the room around the machine. We quote them; we never use their words as a measurement or a fit answer.

In short

Ten reports describe the Barista Express Impress. Reports split on cabinets: one says it would not fit under the ones tried and needed a different spot, while another keeps it under upper cabinets, and a third notes the hopper needs headroom to come out. Beans jamming is the most repeated complaint: one report taps the grinder to get beans to drop, and another says beans jam at the hopper's feed openings about 30 percent of the time and have to be stirred loose. One report calls it ridiculously difficult to clean because an internal tray cannot be taken apart. The biggest caution is a report of the grinder making horrible noises and the machine broken within two months of purchase. The full reports are below, grouped by topic.

The size, and where each figure comes from

Breville Barista Express Impress is 13 in (33 cm) wide, 15 in (38.1 cm) deep and 16.3 in (41.3 cm) tall (seattlecoffeegear.com, 23 September 2026), though Bi-Rite Home Appliances prints the width as 15 in (38 cm), and though Bi-Rite Home Appliances prints the depth as 13 in (33 cm). Cup clearance is 4 in (10.2 cm) under the spout (seattlecoffeegear.com, 25 September 2026). The weakest figure behind this comes from a retailer listing, not the manufacturer.
