  • It will pull a fast shot but tastes as good as Starbucks
I spent hours watching YouTube videos, as well as reading reviews almost to the point where I almost lost all interest in buying an espresso machine, but I do not regret getting the ESP8XL. My main goal was to find a machine that could pull shots that taste "near as good" or "close" to Starbucks, and I have to say that the ESP8XL has done it! Granted, this is subjective. I don't mean to say that a double shot of espresso from a $200 machine will match that of a $1K machine, but if I cannot tell the difference between a shot from the ESP8XL and a shot from Starbucks, I have what I need - and that is what I got with the ESP8XL. But I give the ESP8XL 4 out of 5 stars because it has more potential than it presents with. Basically, it pulls really fast shots. I have yet to be able to achieve a 1:2 ratio of grounds to espresso. Currently, I am about 1:5. I start with 9 grams of grinds in the double basket and turn off the brew at about 40grams of espresso (with 10 more grams of espresso dripping in afterwards). I know this is not correct. Just watching the espresso come out from the portafilter - its clear that it is coming out faster than it should. At first I thought it was a malfunction. But when I ground the esspresso beans to a near pulp akin to a turkish blend (baking flour consistency) I was unable to pull a complete shot (only got a few grams of liquid), so its not like you don't have control over the draw time and cannot achieve the correct draw time. The problem is that the difference in grind time between what is a good espresso grind (find sand feel with clumping and a slight residue on the skin when pinching it) and baking flour consistency is a few seconds with my grinder. Granted, my grinder is a cheap Mr. Coffee grinder that beats the beans into oblivion rather than "cutting" as good burr grinders do. I have not tried to find this perfect grind "spot" but I believe if I had an "equally good" electric burr coffee bean grinder, I could hit this sweet grind consistency and achieve a 1:2 ratio. As of now, my 1:5 ratio tastes absolutely perfect - not bitter, not sour, full of boldness and flavor. That is what is so crazy. It makes me think that the whole 1:2 ratio is not "just" what makes a good shot of espresso. As for the other elements of the machine, the ESP8XL heats up (from a cold start) quickly. From the moment of turning on the machine to the heating light going off (meaning the water has reached the correct temp) I have ground my beans and filled the portafilter. At first I thought I would not like the fact that you are in complete control of the amount of water dispensed. Like, there is no one or two shot button that you can push and the correct amount of water is used. There is only a dial that has three settings: on (brew), off, and steam wand. This means that you have to start the shot and turn it off yourself - the machine will not do it for you. But I quickly found that I enjoy this feature as I can tinker with brew times as I please. In terms of water temp, I am not hitting the 195-205f temps that are best for espresso. The water temps fluctuate between about 150-170 depending on the timing of the shot. Again, despite this, the shots are still coming out very tasty! I like the weight of the machine. With a full tank of water, I barely need to hold it to get the portafilter in. Clearance between the bottom of the portafilter and the drain tray is 3.5 inches, so you are not going to get a traditional coffee cup under the portafilter (removing the tray gives you an extra 1 inch) but I drink straight espresso so my cups are smaller and there is never a problem (for me). The ESP8XL is not loud in my opinion. I have owned other machines that sound like a rocket blasting off. I like the build materials too - mostly all stainless steel - feels solid, especially when you slide it around on top of the counter as I have to do to save space - feels like a rock, but not hard to move. The basket diameters are documented at 50mm, but they are bigger - more like 51.5mm (at the brim) so if you are looking for a good tamper, don't get a 49mm (as I did) you will want more like a 50mm if you are a perfectionist. I have only used the steam wand twice. It seems to work well without the metal attachment piece that it comes with. The ESP8XL never slows down either. It is also making sure that there is adequate heated water/steam when needed. In between shots or between a shot and then using the steam wand, it quickly re-heats in seconds so you never seem to be waiting for it to "heat up". All in all I am very impressed and glad that I bought the ESP8XL. I never write reviews but I was so happy (mostly to have found something after all of my research and reviews) I had to let everyone know. ... show more

  • Good for price
For the price, this is a decent machine. Nice crème- though that is because of the pressurized basket and not because you have the right mix between actual pressure, grind and tamping. Not as impressed with the frothing ability. It works, but not the same quality as higher end Breville machines. I used the $700 Breville model for several months; after about a month of using this one, it is still difficult the get the milk hot enough before the froth starts to overflow the included carafe (using the suggested amount of milk). ... show more

  • Great Espresso maker
I have been using this espresso maker for about a week and so far I am very pleased with its performance. I have been visiting the local espresso shops for the past couple years without a espresso budget in mind, i was just buying when I felt the urge. I didn't realize how much I was spending on espressos weekly. The machine has a beautiful stainless steel design looks much better in person. It pours out the espresso perfectly based on reviews and videos I have used to compare with other high end machines. The taste is consistent not watery or strong. I matched it up with the Breville smart grinder and that too does excellent work. The milk steamer is powerful and heats up the milk quickly. I usually put my milk in the metal milk container and stick it in the freezer for about 5-10 min prior to making the espresso this helps with the frothing. Very easy to clean. I will get back in time with an update after a few months of use. So far I saved $40 on espresso this includes making a few cups for co-workers. So far 5 stars and I recommend. 10/16/13 update OK I had an issue with espresso machine the other day. Here is what happened; I thought I blew a gasket or something. I was so irritated. I switch to a new bean Ethiopia from Starbucks and used the same grind as the previous bean. I ran the espresso machine and the coffee was coming in slow drips. I thought for a moment and decided to clean the portafilter. I ground some the same coffee and ran the espresso again. I hear a pop and water and coffee was squirting around the area. I stopped the machine and thought about the reviews I read about leaky espresso machines and blown gaskets and I thougt...That was mine and I will need to send this back or get a new gasket. I also read reviews about coffee being too fine and clogging the portafilter. So I tried it again. I gave the smart grinder a couple of clicks to the left and ran the espresso again and man the coffee came out fine. I was so relieved and glad that I took the time to read and learn about espresso makers before I purchased one. That experience has taught me a lot about espressos makers, grinders and beans. It has become apparent to me that some beans can grind finer than other brands of beans and some espresso machines cannot handle too fine of a grind. The bean well I think its because how they are grown, the locations and elevations. I see why some may have issues with espresso machines. I would say take the time to read or view some youtube videos on espresso machines. They are very insightful. UPDATE 2/08/14 my espresso machine is doing great and it's been five months.It still puts out great creama and has been doing great on a variety of beans as if it has gotten better every time i use it. No clogging and it is still performing well. At this price, which is cheaper than what i bought st, I highly recommend this product. you will not be disappointed. The machine is doing great and my coffee still taste great. Still a five star. UPDATE 10/2/15 It's been a 3.5 years since I purchased the Breville espresso maker. I stopped using the steam wand over a year ago because it added water to the milk, but this was a blessing because I purchased the Breville milk cafe frother and I am so glad I did. The frother does an excellent job frothing. No more holding the container under the steam wand waiting for the steam to do it's job. I now just have to press a button on the frother and it's in it's own but not only that, I can add ingredients to the frother while it's frothing and also add the espresso shot for a perfect stir. So now I can froth and pull my espresso shots without having to wait for one to be done before the other. No matter what espresso machine you have of this type you may want to look into an external frother so it'll save you time. The Breville milk cafe is highly rated. UPDATE 06/12/16 Ok I am blessed and happy to say that the expresso machine has been doing great in my opinion. It still perfoms and pulls shots like new. Has had no issues what so ever. This machine is great for the money. Breville makes some great products. I still make espressos for co-workers and they love it always ask when I will bring in espressos. I maintain it like recommended. Last comment 11/2021 This cafe roma is about 8 years old and still running like a champ. I may purchase another for my cabin up north. ... show more
