    A wonderful machine. If you are new to the espresso scene you will need to practice to make the perfect cup of coffee. Overall I'm satisfied with the machine but I do believe its over priced.

    Piece of Garbage

    Worked great for 2 months - cleaned it with 50% water / vinegar solution every 2’weeks and even descaled it. After 2 months - the pressure goes all the way up and no expresso comes out. Customer service is non-existent - web site is done and ‘technical difficulties’ when I call. Funny thing is I have been bragging about this for 2 months and having a party Sunday where apparently nobody will be getting an expresso with this piece of garbage machine. Would have expected the $599 machine to last a little longer that the $40 Capresso machine I used to have.

    Broke within the 1st 6 months and was under warranty and Best Buy had us contact Breville who had it for about a month. Got it back from Breville and it worked for about another 6 months and stopped working again. Now out of warranty, Breville won’t respond so we took it to Best Buy Service and the said they’d only service if we would’ve bought an extended warranty. I just want it fixed but Best Buy won’t do anything and we called around town and everyone says they can’t get parts and can’t service.

    I started to notice the unit is leaking after only 3 months. I called Breville and after troubleshooting with the rep through video call. She created the ticket and have me send it in. I send it my 3 months old with little usage, almost brand new unit, and the unit they send back to me after the repair was not my original unit. I’m very sure its refurbished unit because the stainless looked very old and rusted. Definitely not what I expected from Breville. It’s an expensive unit and you would expect it to last longer or at least don’t screw me up Breville. Very disappointed. It would be my last purchase item from Breville.

    We have ordered many things from amazon and other places and have never had the service we had with this company. The gentleman waitied outside in the cold for a while until we came to the door because the item we bought was super expensive and he didnt want to leave it outside. So thank you for that we really appreciate it.

    Fun to have to actually understand how to use it, but too easy to make a bad cup of coffee. My bambino was much more consistent.

      Thank you for your review and feedback. There is definitely a learning curve to pulling a great shot of espresso when moving up to a machine that allows you to control the grind size. Should you continue to experience issues, please feel free to send us an email to askus@brevilleusa.com or call us at 866-273-8455. We'll be happy to help you from there. brevilleusa
