  • Great Espresso, Reliably, Simply with No Hassles
Color: Black Stainless Steel
I spent 15 years burning through a series of $150 -$300 dollar espresso makers, a nice used Saeco, a couple DeLonghis) and recently a Delonghi that had a pump failure after three weeks. I was so upset about the DeLonghi failing that I impulsively bought this machine, which with accessories alwas about twice what I wanted to pay after reading reviews that made it clear that in this price range, for the best quality non-automatic machines, it's between this and a Gaggia Classic Pro. I went with the Breville as the reviews indicated it may not be easily hacked, but it works consistently and very well out of the box. Well, now I am kicking myself for not having bought this machine a decade earlier. It produces amazing shots reliably, every time. I use the stock basket, about 19 grams of espresso.grounds, tamp it with moderate pressure, and let the pour run about 14-15 seconds. I use top quality beans from a local roaster and grind to the second most fine setting on my Capresso Infinity grinder. The shots are superb without going down the obsessive espresso geek path of modifying the heater, the pump etc. I can't say anything more about that. It heats quickly (5 seconds) and has an auto shutoff, though it's smart to warm the portafilter by running a shot of just water through it, and it's easy enough to shut off with a simultaneous press of the single shot and the milk frother buttons. There are a few key accessories that make it more convenient. A cheap knock box helps unload the portafilter quicker and make it more convenient to pull multiple shots -imoortant if this high quality coffee accidentally turns your spouse and kid into espresso junkies. A magnetic portafilter funnel helps make it easy to get the grounds in, evenly distributed and tamped. A nice little stainless putcher for steaming milk helps with making A+ lattes and cappuccinos. And an open faced basket produces some interesting flavor variations though I have not mastered it well enough to produce consistent excellent taste. You will need to get really good quality beans and should have at least a decent low speed burr grinder to get best results, though foreground beans do alright if they are fresh enough - the Illy brand grounds produce a very nice flavorful shot and the Lavazza beans produce a great, traditional strong Italian type shot but fresh local beans may give a much nicer flavor. I've had it for about two months so far and have pulled at least four or five shots daily between Americanos for my wife and double shots for myself. The taste is great, the shots have a lovely smooth crema, and I am incredibly happy with it. This machine gets criticized as it's not a soulful Italian machine with endless hacking and customization opportunities, it is just a turnkey appliance that makes great espresso with no muss, no fuss. Look, I've owned an MGB and an old Plymouth muscle car, and fussy Italian espresso makers. I loved them and I loved tinkering. But I have a Toyota 4 Runner now that "lacks soul" but it is as reliable as a stone axe, I never worry about it starting when I get in, it's good in all conditions. It doesn't lose its lights in the rain (MGB) and it doesn't have weird features like reverse threaded lug nuts and this oddball relay that fails at weird times leaving me stranded unless I can install the spare (Plymouth). It just works right every dang time. You might be able to find a better machine that takes your espresso shots from a 99 grade to 100 but I doubt it. Once in a while my local roaster - which has won national competitions - pulls off a 100 shot. But usually they are 99's. Using the same beans this Breville is always a 99, no hassles. The only downside is we are drinking more coffee because this machine makes such tasty shots. It has eliminated coffee stops on the way to work and maybe in the long run pays for itself. But the real reason to buy is that life is too short to drink bad coffee. You are going to drink coffee anyhow; you might as well drink coffee that astounds you and puts a smile on your face every morning. Buy once, cry once. ... show more

  • Excellent machine.
Color: Brushed Stainless Steel
This makes it easy and quick to make excellent espresso. I was skeptical about the automatic frothing, but to be honest, it does a better job at creating creamy foamed milk than I have ever managed to do myself. I had an older, bigger Breville machine before, and learning to get decent milk, especially for lattes, took a great deal of practice. This does better from the first try, and you can manually froth the milk as well (which is much faster than with my old machine). I do have two issues to point out. Occasionally, for no reason I can determine, the milk overflows. I do fill the pitcher up to the "max" line, with the heat and foam both on high, but then I am always making it for two cups, a latte for me and a cappuccino for my wife. Usually it works fine, but twice now it went over the top. The second issue is that, when drawing 2-cup shots, I found that the supplied portafilter is uneven in distributing the coffee between the two spouts. Fortunately, I have the old portafilter from my previous Breville coffeemaker, which does a better job of evenly filling both cups. The supplied portafilter works fine for one cup. ... show more

  • Most frustratingly temperamental coffee machine EVER!
Color: Brushed Stainless Steel
I’ve thought long and hard about how to articulate this review as clearly and truthfully as I can. Ok, so I’m not predisposed to negative reviews but this overly expensive coffee machine is awful. The most important part of this machine is the troubleshooting manual. Keep it to hand - you will need it! The positives: 1. It will make a nice cup of coffee* 2. The cleaning capabilities for the wand are a good idea The negatives: 1. True, it will make a nice cup of coffee…..IF IF you use the EXACT amount of coffee in the filter basket IF you don’t mind pressing the double cup 3 times to get a single espresso shot - even when you use the right amount and grind of coffee! IF the coffee machine doesn’t randomly go into cleaning mode (which it does even before forcing a clean every 200 button presses) IF you use ONLY the supplied milk jug. Using anything else causes the temperature sensor to fail, the steam will never stop and you milk will be boiled and overflow IF the aforementioned milk jug is placed EXACTLY in the perfect position to get the best contact with the milk temperature sensor 2. As a practitioner of human centered design (making products intuitive and easy to use), I can tell you that this coffee machine is absolutely not easy to use. Too many failure modes, too many unintuitive error states and messages and good functionality ideas are executed poorly - example being the temperature sensor. It works but only IF you do 3 things perfectly first. 2. The need for a cleaning cycle is too frequent. We are having to perform a cleaning cycle every 2 weeks! (And we aren’t coffee monsters!) 3. Water wastage. The wand cleaning wastes SO MUCH water to perform. It could be done using much less 4. The wand cleaning cycle is really messy. IF you position the drip tray in the PERFECT position, you might not have to clean your machine and own clothes from the spray back coming from the wand 5. The wand cleaner is difficult to find, and beware! The sharp pin cover comes off really easily when you are unscrewing the wand tip. Have a bandaid to hand! In summary, can this machine make coffee? Yes BUT it isn’t easy to use, is highly temperamental and definitely NOT worth the money. …really wish I could get my money back… ... show more
