Customer Review
Reviewed in the United States on November 20, 2023
What is there not to like about this machine?? It’s by no means a commercial espresso machine- but it is a phenomenal personal machine!
Takes a bit to warm up properly, so if you are an early morning espresso consumer, turn this on first thing when you wake up.
Very customizable brewing methods, as well as grinds! It is a bit heavy, which I consider a good thing. Personally, it is a comfortable size. The portafilter is a good weight and very comfortable to hold.
The steam wand is exactly what I was hoping for! Very good range of motion on it, powerful, accurate, just all around pleased with that!
It will take you some tweaking to find the correct settings for each type of bean you put into this machine, so please keep that in mind! So far, nothing that comes out wonky is the machines fault. It is either user error, or just a trial and error kind of thing! That is exactly what you need to do. Trial and error until you find the perfect setting for your beans. Every bean/blend is different!!! This is not a miracle machine that you can choose one setting and every type of coffee you put through it will be the same, that’s just unrealistic!
If you are an amateur barista, this machine may seem overwhelming. I do recommend you do your research to find exactly the kind of machine that will be most suitable for you! There are lots of videos online explaining how to get the best grind and quality out of your brew with this breville, so watch those as well!
I cannot stress this enough!
Easy to clean, comes with just about everything that you need! Mine came with two cleaning tablets and one filter pod, so be sure to grab extras as you want to clean this machine every use to keep it functioning properly! Cleaning maintenance videos are online from breville.
If you are in the market for a quality machine and know your way around brewing espresso, this is the one for you! Even if you aren’t familiar, just educate yourself and you will fall in love with this!! Wish I had the means to gift this to everyone in my family this holiday! Couldn’t be happier to invest in this!
