Pros & Cons
Pros
Breville sells them for $30 on their website. The cost is a flat fee which includes shipping and handling by ups store.
The brushed stainless steel finish adds a touch of elegance to any kitchen countertop. Cleaning of the moving parts is similar to the former version, which requires attention to detail. The coffee basket is considerably more intricate, with harder-to-... Read More
This is the only brewer i know of that automatically switches to an immersion brewer if you choose single cup. It makes an auto mated infusion brew in the cup setting. It even comes with a durable carafe and the option for manual brewing.
The auto-start function ensures that my coffee is hot and ready when i wake up. I no longer have to constantly refill it, which is a huge time-saver in the morning rush. A timer setting for auto morning brews.
When the machine is working properly, the coffee is exquisite. The machine must be cleaned regularly. Replace the upper burr on the machine every two years or so. It allows you to customize the grind for your preferred coffee strength.

The design of the carafe -- while attractive -- has to be the worst ever. It's a huge disappointment because it does not brew coffee consistently. The plastic rim design, there will be about a cup of coffee at the bottom that will not pour out.
The only redeeming feature of this machine is that it produces a good cup of coffee. The daily grind on the machine far exceeds the value.

Plus, the fast brewing time and programmable options made my mornings so much smoother.
Competitiveness
My coffe maker and my milk warmer are my favorite
The breville grind control coffee maker is a game-changer for all coffee enthusiasts.
I think that it is a bad design for pouring out, it is not very smooth as expected, for such a high-end machine.
