It grinds the grounds nicely and will pay itself off quickly since I have not been to Starbucks since I purchased it. I am still working on perfecting my craft, but it is pretty delicious and I have been ordering special coffee from various places online to find the perfect blend.

I used to be a barista, and I have been wanting to buy a quality espresso machine for years, and finally bit the bullet. I know it's a little pricey, but it is worth every penny. We have saved so much by making our espressos at home. Make sure you read the manual well before trying to use it; if you're not a barista already, you'll need to learn how to use it properly in order to make quality espresso and steamed milk.

Amazing machine, I will buy over and over again. I have told everyone I know to get it, just wait until black friday or cyber monday due to the cost. Overall great machine and worth the investment if you are a daily latte drinker.

Yummy!!!! With my leash tightened, and findng myself home more and at the coffee shop, well, NEVER, it seemed like a fancy espresso maker might be just the ticket for an improved attitude. I was right! Never underestimate the power of espresso. This machine makes coffee that is better than the shops. It supplies entertainment with friends (distanced coffee on the front porch) and an instant upgrade to any home base. YES. Foam too! Lick-your-lips good!

Yes it’s a little costly but it’s worth it. Loving mine. Haven’t been to the coffee shop yet. This is going to pay for itself in no time. Customize the grind and coffee amount to your preference. Makes a great cup. You won’t regret it. My only complaint is that I wish the water reservoir was a bit bigger. Seems like I’m filling it a lot but it’s just a minor inconvenience.

Great espresso maker. Americanos are the way to go. 10 times better than regular coffee. If you have a friend with espresso mashing, go try a americano and you will fall in love. This espresso maker is perfect for all levels of experience in espresso making. Easy to learn and easy to become a espresso expert if you want

Absolutely love it! I’ve been on the fence and searching for the best model and this fits the bill! A few friends recommended the brand & model and it had great reviews. I even read an article listing top 10 and this was at the top of the list. Easy to use. I finally realized to not use the suggested coffee measurements when doing a double shot. Just add extra and tap tap tap. Very important for achieving the correct pressure.

I would give this a 4.5. Love everything about this machine but find the steamer spurts water into the milk before it becomes steam. So I now turn it on and let it blow off the water and then insert it into the pitcher to steam the milk. And sometimes it takes too much time for the steam to come out. For the cost of this machine, I would think this should run perfect and will most likely call when I have time to speak to Breville and see if this is normal or not. Just haven’t had time to do it. I love the Grinder and all the extras that come with the machine including a cleaning tool, damper and pitcher. However, If the steamer produced steam right away instead of spurting water when you turn it on, this would be 5 stars for sure. I use Lavazza beans and couldn’t be happier with the espresso. For the price I Wish the steamer worked more fluently then it would be perfect.
