Pros & Cons
Pros
Illy coffee and grind it fresh or use their pods, which make perfect espresso. This machine has a 53mm pressurized portafilter. Clearance between the bottom of the portafillter and the drain tray is 3.
The steam wand doesn't produce the full luxurious foam that you can draw unicorns/ferns with, but i've been able to get the right soy milk and produce abstract impressions of a screaming duck on a unicycle. There’s a “foam assistant’ thing on the stea... Read More
I'm a curmudgeon who doesn't like “new and improved” and was absolutely psyched to see i could still buy the same old model. I like that they changed the texture of the metal. Best of all i didn't have to learn any new tricks or secrets and the kitche... Read More
Cons
More and more simple appliances are being made cheaply and it shows. The brew is very weak compared to my old delonghi which was about ½ the price. Another thing i really dislike is the fact that most machines comes with a feature, that in my opinion ... Read More
The breville food processor is having the same issue. Had to send it to be serviced and repaired after paying $230. I recommend staying far away from this product and saving yourself a lot of wasted time trying to get the manufacturer, the seller and ... Read More
The portafilter is not pressurized, instead the pressurization comes from the basket. After 4 months of regular daily use, it now makes horrible loud noises and does not drip down. The milk gets stuck inside frother tube, crystalizes and is very hard/... Read More
To me, this feels like a deal-breaking design flaw. It is unusable. Much of the blame falls on breville for lousy, incomprehensibly foolish instructions.

Excellent machine, i have one at home and bought a second one for my shop.
The 15-bar thermoblock pump is the cherry on top, ensuring you get that barista-quality espresso every time.
I’ve only done minimal maintenance and of course regular cleaning.
Price
Wow i first bought the $500 duo and then it started leaking, this machine was way cheaper and it’s amazing!
Now that's what i call a brew-tiful deal!
For the price, this is a decent machine.
And it’s less expensive now that when i originally bought it.
Shipping
Shipped quickly, and not very difficult to use.
Packaging/appearance
The box came ripped, as though it had been previously opened and everything was thrown in the box haphazardly.
----‐-------------------------------------i only just received this product and was excited to open it.
Competitiveness
I purchased a different brand that broke after 10 mos.
I've looked at other models and other manufacturers and i think i would still choose this one.
It works, but not the same quality as higher end breville machines.
