    Powerful and great for it's price range, while I'm sure more expensive setups can pull even greater espresso, this has been a fantastic entry point for me

    I loved this machine! I tried it at home but I didnt have a good grinder so I returned it. Now I regret it because it worked so good. Looking into getting it again in the future

    Nice, but not as nice as the Infuser I replaced with this. Not enough steam in one push of the button to make a 20 ounce latte. No wand cleaner in the package. Not as heavy duty as the Infuser.

    Great entry-level espresso machine for the price. With a good set of tools for puck prep this thing will make incredible lattes!

    Great machine, but the tamper is not very good and I will probably have to get another tamper.

    Disappointed with lukewarm espress

    It make lukewarm espresso. I tried all the tricks found on the Internet from others with the same problem. Nothing works: preheating the portafilter, run a blank shot, even 5-6 consecutive shots, etc. With both non-contact and contact thermometer, the water temperature remains below 155F. I don't expect scolding hot, but who would buy $300 espresso machine that can make such lukewarm coffee? It should be at least 165, even considering the loss of heat when water drops from the head to the cup. Breville homepage has an instruction supposedly for temperature, but this has only about volume programming. Very disappointed and returning it.

    Loved the machine. No issues so far. The build is very solid and of high quality material. Just need frequent cleaning of outer surfaces to avoid spots.

    After a month of daily use we've had no problems with the device. The heater is quick and the machine is sturdy overall. We're relatively new to espresso machines so the simplicity is appreciated.

    Stop readying, if you're on the fence, just get it already. Very happy with our purchase. This was our first espresso machine. We didn't want to spend too much on our first one, but this was worth the premium. Things to know: - Quality is off the charts great - Read the instruction manual. Seriously. - Take care of it, and it will take care of you. We've been using it 3+ times a day without it skipping a beat over the last ~6 months. 10/10, would buy again.
