Customer Ratings & Reviews

I give it only 5 stars because it's all I'm allowed, but it deserves 10 stars; easy to use, easy to clean, makes superb coffee, I also make tea with the hot water spout, and hot chocolate with the steam wand, at first I taught this machine was to expensive; after using it for the fist time I understood I got more than I paid for; LOVE IT, no regrets, highly recommend it. :)

I love it. The whole family loves it. We make probably 10 cups of either espresso or cappuccino a day - both decaf and regular (using the automatic grinder for regular; switching the filter for preground decaf). Both amazing. It's a little messy but worth it. I have been wanting one of these for a couple of years and my husband got it for me for Mother's Day (on sale). Expensive but so, so yummy!

I make cappuccinos just about every day as part of the morning ritual and it has save me time and money going to get one. Well worth the price for espresso enthusiasts. Easy to use and clean. Grab some premium water and get your grind dialed in, it sets your mood for the day. Enjoy.

Love this item. I use it just about every day. Makes great expressos

So far its fairly simple to use and my wife loves that it takes just like any coffee shop! For the price its a very good machine!

Love my new expresso machine! Worth every penny! My girlfriend and I use it every morning and evening. Love the quality of the product. Stainless steel design matches my appliances in my kitchen. I get a lot of compliments from friends and family when they come over.

Easy to use, excellent quality. Very pleased with my purchase.

My husband knows I love espresso and talked me into getting this machine as my very first espresso maker. I was extremely hesitant because when you haven't used something like this before it's extremely intimidating. However, I actually watched some youtube videos and followed the quick start instructions with no problems. I love it and make espresso shots and drinks with it daily. It's an expensive initial purchase but it's absolutely worth it if you're an espresso lover.

Being someone who drives a bit to get to and from work, plus kids' events, etc, Starbucks coffee was an easy, yet expensive way to go. We looked at what we spent on that decided if this was as good as we heard, it'll pay for itself. This has not only replaced Starbucks, but we no longer use our Keurig or our coffee maker. This is so simple to use, yet makes better tasting espresso, whether that be a latte, straight espresso, Americano, etc. This was an excellent purcahse for us.

Makes such great espresso! The machine is very easy to use. I used to buy coffee everyday until I got this machine. My lattes taste better than my local coffee shop!

Better than waiting in line at certain coffee spots. Espresso is a new hobby I picked up. You can slowly get the various tools for this bad boy, but it comes with what you need. Great machine. Don’t forget to dial in those beans.

We got this during Black Friday and it's been a work horse ever since. My wife and I use this machine several times a day (that's probably not that great for us), but we just cant have enough of lattes and cappuccinos now. We are still learning how to do latte art, but for the essential matters which is to make a double espresso and froth the milk for it, I'd say it's easy to learn and it tastes great.

I was so hesitant to pull the trigger on this one because of the price, but so glad I did. Breville has not let me down with any of their products I have purchased so far - smart oven, juicer, espresso machine. I had some difficulty getting the pressure up on my initial espresso pull, and though I was going to need to send the unit back. I called Breville customer service and the reps there are super knowledgeable. They don't go into it much in the guide, but depending on the type of whole bean you are grinding, you may need to change from the single wall filter to the dual wall filter. As soon as I made the change, the pressure gauge was exactly where it needed to be. I've had the unit for about 2 months now, and the only downside is I'm blowing through Americanos and probably slightly over-caffeinated... but saving me tons of $$ from the local brew house.

This is a great espresso maker. It is expensive, but I feel like it merits the cost. It is well made, easy to operate, and makes consistently good espresso.

I love this machine. I am pretty new to making espresso. Great for learning and honing the craft of learning how to grind beans and properly froth milk.

Heating up water for tea it’s a bit loud, but the coffee it produces is awesome. Just takes a bit of practice to make an awesome cup.

This was a great addition to my kitchen and daily life. So easy to use and very little to clean. I look forward to my delicious americano drink every morning. Everyone in my family also enjoys the process of making it. It is very fun to be able to make a professional cup of coffee in your own kitchen whenever you want it!

Bought this for our office kitchen, and it has become the new 'watercooler' where people hang out and chat. We have a couple of people who have these at home, so the rest of us are learning to ditch the Keurig and have a new appreciation for good coffee beverages. The grinder is amazingly quiet, and the overall process is quick and simple. Love it so far.

MUST HAVE FOR COFFEE SNOBS! LOL Okay, bad way to start, but this unit has already paid itself off by eliminating the need to go to starbucks and the coffee is 1000x better. I can't say I've had much user for the frother (I usually just make espresso and americanos) but the unit has been solid, easy to clean, and issue free.

Great quality if you take the time to learn how to use it. It may take a few tries at first, but you can dial it in within the first couple of times using it.
