Works perfectly. I have always owned Jura . Needed one for a small space

I’ll never buy another Breville product. Many don’t have issues, and I sincerely hope you’re one. When it works, it makes a good cup of coffee. The Jura just never made coffee I liked. It was “five”, but I wanted more from it for the price. Hearing about the uncleanliness you mention makes me even more glad that I sold it. I’m not off the auto machines and am extremely happy with my separate grinder and portafilter machine. Yes, it’s a science experiment getting everything right, but I’ve gotten pretty good at that process. It’s a process though. The coffee I make is fantastic though.
