Pros

The machine comes with a device to unclog the frothing wand. The steam wand automatically purges after each use, and the removable drip tray and water tank make it easy to keep the machine clean.

This little powerhouse of an espresso maker just continues to impress. The coffee is excellent and the ease of use for this machine in amazing. This makes delicious espresso!

Both machines are awesome! Still an awesome machine. Couldn't be happier. Do yourself a favor and get one. You won't be disappointed.

Small footprint is great for a machine with a pump that makes such great tasting espresso. The design is stylish and it's like having a mini barista at home. Its sleek design is a sight to behold.



Cons

Tried frothing milk and would not froth. Drip tray is empty. The steamer must be discharged into the collection tray after each use.

The consistency of the espresso pulls are all over the place. Portafilter needs to be heated separately and grouphead remains cold, possibly affecting brew temp. Produces a fine cup of coffee but the machine’s constantly locking itself in a cleaning c...  Read More

Customer service is unreachable. This is the first problem i have ever had with amazon. Contacting customer support in nothing but frustrating. For more information on contacting breville customer support, go http://www.

The wand cleaning cycle is really messy. The amount of cycles you can get of pulls is small before you have to do the cleaning cycle with their branded cleaning disk and tabs. The manual is full of complicated button combinations to execute all the fu...  Read More

🥰the lighter weight of it makes it necessary to brace the machine with one hand while removing the porta filtre with the other.


The auto-clean feature for the steam wand is nice in keeping it cleared out and, for idiot proof avoidance of a clogged wand, p...  Read More


The machine purges the frother after each use, and the drip tray gets filled with diluted milk.


What i do is put my wipe rag over the grate of the catch pan before lowering the wand to flush so the rag soaks up the flush wa...  Read More

Price


Mine was $12 and it works so much better than the original.

Competitiveness


I have two other breville espresso machines, the express and the barista pro, which have both been very good.


I think there is room for aftermarket vendors to make a better drip tray.

    I have tried dozens of products but i keep going back to the lavazza rosso with large porta filter without the baffle

    Maintenance is easy as there are not a lot of parts

    I struggle getting a good froth with the others manually
