I have had the BES860 and 870 express for the last 5 years or so.
I love these machines. I 100% would buy again, repeatedly. The build quality inside is pretty awesome, you can see the clamps are put on by hand, the quality of the parts is very good, and the pressure gauge helps me make amazing shots of espresso every single time. The pressure gauge helps you adjust grind fineness and tamp pressure to nail that perfect shot, so the learning curve on going from "how do I use an espresso machine" to "perfect shot" is really quick, something that other machines you might never really get to- consistent perfect shots.

TainenI have a Barista Express myself and went from an espresso fool to pretty decent in about a week to pretty good in about a month. My daughter's BF worked at a Starbucks through college and he's a fan.
IMO the best brews from these machines are 25/29 second draws.

TainenThe learning curve is fairly short with these machines. I'd also agree the build quality is surprisingly good.
