    Simple and solid so far

    Heats up and is ready to go amazingly fast. My Jura broke down and I decided to save some money on a new machine and try this. I'm no expert but it makes espresso good enough for me. Im a little concerned with how much it vibrates while pushing the water through the beans, enough that sometimes my lighter cups will move out of place - might not bode well for longevity. Also wish there was a low water indicator as the way it's facing in my kitchen I don't see the water level in the tank. Not many quibbles otherwise, so far - just hope it lasts!

    It's been 6 months and the machine still works as well as it did when I bought it. Steams milk well, and is intuitive enough. I wish it could steam and pull shots at the same time, but otherwise very happy with this purchase!

    I purchased this for my RV as I had a Barista Express at home, but wanted a smaller unit for the trailer. We recently went on a trip and used this to make expressos for four days for three people. It worked great once I got it dialed in. The size is great as I can move it to a different part of the counter after making the morning coffee drinks. I used the hot water arm to make Americano drinks with a splash of milk and it made great foam on the drinks.

    This is my second at-home-espresso maker (first Breville) and OMG, what an upgrade. This machine makes delicious espresso. Better than some cafes. I would absolutely recommend this product. Super easy to use! 10/10

    So far this gets the job done and works for the limited amount of counterspace that I have in my apartment. For those venturing into espresso and milk drinks, this is great compact machine.

    I had my eye on an espresso machine for a few years. I felt really intimidated by the bigger models, and I think this one is a perfect one to start with. I use it pretty much every day, and it is a really good beginner's model of an espresso machine. Beyond the machine itself, I would suggest also buying the puck screen that fits this size (slightly smaller than 54) because it makes a dramatic impact on the quality of the extraction. Those are just a few bucks, and available lots of places. Overall, I'm super stoked about this!

    Switched from D’Longhi to Breville

    I switched from the D’Longhi (same type of machine) and used this brand for 15+ years. My new Breville tops it! Same aspect and so easy to use. But the actual two shot espresso it delivers surpasses my old Dlonghi! Yummy and so flavorful! If your looking to switch, do it! I went back and forth did my research. You won’t be disappointed!

    Awesome! As a beginner home cappuccino brewer, this thing is awesome! It just works! There is a bit of a learning curve with getting grind fineness and tamp effort dialed, but even the mistakes still taste great! Steam frother just works and has a minor learning curve, but no biggie. The user manual walks you through the learning process with ease! Love it so far! I’d give it a five star, but I’m only a few days in and longevity is hard to rate at this time! I had my own grinder so this little unit got me up and making coffee shop cappuccinos after a couple trial and errors! Christmas sale price helped too!

    We've had a much bigger Brville before which was great,but loud when it was grinding the coffee. So we went for this one without too many hopes. I was amazed that it's really,it makes a creamy espresso and it does not wake up the kids when making cappuccinos in the morning

    Great mini machine! This is my first Breville and works very well. I dropped the tank and it was broken within a few months but Breville took care of it!

    Great Starter Machine

    Honestly, I am loving this machine. I am by no means skilled, and so this is a perfect starter machine. I upgraded from a basic DeLonghi and it is a world of difference! If you are debating between spending $75 vs $300, just spend the $300. The espresso takes great (for my tastes, I am not an expert by any means) and I love how frothy the milk gets. It is a fast machine and so far I have not had any issues (had it about 2 months).

    Easy to use, small and practical. Super cute and does deliver on promises of ease, quick espresso. I returned it, and upgraded to the barista express because I had to purchase the grinder and dosing funnel separately racking up the total price. If I had all accessories already, or I wanted to make coffee from store bought espresso grounds it would make sense to keep it. I wanted the full experience.
