Pros

Makes a fantastic addition to any coffee lovers kitchen. It is a little taller than i thought, with the bean hopper on top, so i have to slide it out from under my cupboards. Likes:- espresso and lattes are yummy.

The machine is solidly built and looks really nice on the counter. Everything still works perfectly. Once you get the hang of it, it’s super easy to use.

The auto milk foaming wand is really nice. The hot water sprayer and the portafiller are both super close to missing my mug, but somehow don't. Has temp controls and can brew 2 cups at a time. When finished steaming milk, swirl the milk and foam toget...  Read More



Cons

Been calling all week and even used the callback feature, still nothing. The gentleman who answers the phone is quite apologetic in telling me that the technical department folks who i need to talk to are not in, or in a meeting and will call me back....  Read More

This is not only an inconvenience -- it's a major safety hazard. It's not possible to deactivate the feature, so it's an ongoing risk. Breville customer service is almost non existent.

Do not make coffee without the tray being inserted, because the unit will discharge water every time and will go all over the countertop.


We recently got back into espressos and this machine is dynamite!

Price


So thanksgiving 2024 this dropped to 695 plus tax.


Pricey, but i purchased it on sale and would definitely purchase it again!

Packaging/appearance


Everything was nicely packed and we started practicing pulling the perfect espresso shots on this right away.

Competitiveness


I bought the machine to replace another espresso maker and assumed i would still keep my drip coffee maker, since i am generall...  Read More
