  3. Run water through every outlet and watch for weak, pulsing or diverted flow.
  4. Grind and dose several shots; test coarse/fine adjustment, tamping and the accessible chute.

MESSAGE THE SELLER

Ask before
you drive.

  1. What is the exact model number, serial number and Australian purchase date?
  2. Can you send an uncut video showing a cold start and every major function?
  3. Has Breville Barista Express ever leaked, jammed, overheated or displayed an error?
  4. What cleaning, descaling, burr replacement or professional service has been completed—and is there proof?
  5. Are all original accessories, manuals and receipts included?
  6. Why are you selling it, and may I inspect and test it before payment?

This is a negotiation and inspection aid—not a valuation, safety certification or guarantee. Used prices vary by suburb, colour, inclusions, warranty, cosmetic condition and seller urgency. Never power up visibly wet or damaged electrical equipment; use a qualified repairer for internal inspection.
