Breville
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is an awesome machine but unfortunately it starts to lose pressure And quality so I purchased the 2 year protection plan for $90 once you exchange it it's one and done. if you want another insurance plan for 2 years on the exchanged machine You must pay another $90. I'm into this machine for $780 now.

I would recommend this to a friendGrinder does not work
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Purchased the machine 3 weeks ago. The grind size is coarse even when you dial in all the way to fine. The espresso is more like coffee than espresso. I tried with three different coffee beans, still result is the same. I called in Best Buy and realized that the return policy is only 15 days. Very Frustrating. Had option for purchase from Amazon for the same price which had 1 month return policy.

Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Stopped working a month into use, initially thought the grinder needed cleaning but it also stopped brewing in general. No water was being pushed through even though the tank was full.

Buy it somewhere else
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Breville works great but I'm giving the review 1 star because Best Buy put it on sale right after I bought it and won't credit my Best Buy card for the difference in price. Great machine but buy it somewhere else.

BE AWARE - No price match beyond 15 days
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I'm not happy that I see the price dropped $140 within a month after I bought this. And best buy says they cannot price match or do anything about it because it passes 15 days return period. So if you want to shop at Bestbuy, be ready to regret after 15 days.
