Larry Holt (quality: 8.0)	12.08.2007	Rating: 3.2
Bottom Line: Good beginner machine... You shouldn't pay over $200 for it... Decent machine to hone your skills with...

Yegor Timofeyenko (quality: 6.0)	06.22.2004	Rating: 4.2
Bottom Line: If Silvia's expresso quality is worth 500 dollars, then I would say that Barsta's expresso quality is worth 150 (Yeah! There is that much difference!!!) . People, Please, DON'T BUY the BARISTA

Mark D (quality: 3.0)	02.25.2009	Rating: 5.0
Bottom Line: Save your money and buy a Gaggia

Dean Deaver	04.23.2008	Rating: 5.2
Bottom Line: It's been an okay machine. Average at best. It's okay for the price, but I'm looking to upgrade now.

Brian Rose	01.14.2006	Rating: 5.4
Bottom Line: For the money, I guess it will do. But don't expect anything more than adequate espresso.

Bob Butler	06.14.2001	Rating: 5.6
Bottom Line: I had alot of problems

Mark	01.22.2001	Rating: 6.0
Bottom Line: I will shop for a different brand next time. The functions were O.K., but I think I can find a machine which lasts for more than 2 yrs for the price.

Tim W (quality: 6.0)	03.01.2005	Rating: 6.2
Bottom Line: Great starter machine or for small kitchens

Will Taylor (quality: 7.5)	09.20.2002	Rating: 6.2
Bottom Line: This is a decent machine, but you could get a Rancilio Silvia for a little more.

R Saiers (quality: 3.0)	08.08.2006	Rating: 6.2
Bottom Line: Not bad as an entry-level machine for producing okay espresso. But for the price, try the Saeco Aroma, which features 15 bars rather than the Barista's 8-12 bars of pressure.

Larry Morrison (quality: 2.0)	01.15.2004	Rating: 6.4
Bottom Line: Not a bad entry level machine.

Dan (quality: 1.0)	11.12.2001	Rating: 6.4
Bottom Line: good, but don?t buy a painted one.

Jeff Miller (quality: 4.0)	01.10.2003	Rating: 6.4
Bottom Line: A good starter machine that will quickly make you want to buy an auto.

Kevin Bailey (quality: 8.0)	09.26.2009	Rating: 6.4
Bottom Line: This is definitely a BEGINNER machine. A good grinder will do leaps and bounds for the overall product this puts out (as it does any machine). Treat yourself to a Silvia instead.

Willi Mazereeuw (quality: 2.0)	11.26.2006	Rating: 6.6
Bottom Line: sorry I bought this machine

Jared . (quality: 7.8)	06.28.2005	Rating: 6.8
Bottom Line: If you're going to buy this machine, buy it on sale and DON'T use the stock PPF!!! - Take the valve out or purchase a non-pressurized portafilter from Saeco. It will be worthwhile to spend a bit of extra money and get a better machine to start out with.

Rick Hiebert (quality: 2.0)	01.28.2008	Rating: 6.8
Bottom Line: Be prepared for repair bills

Mark Kunitomi	01.18.2010	Rating: 7.0
Bottom Line: Great machine to learn how to make espresso. Get one used.

Colin Newell (quality: 5.0)	01.12.2002	Rating: 7.0
Bottom Line: Great for the beginner but not for the serious espresso hound.

Chris Wyser-Pratte	03.20.2000	Rating: 7.2
Bottom Line: OK coffee, sometimes not hot enough. Modest steaming capacity. But it‘s not expensive and the service is great.
