You won’t return it! Best espresso, half the cost.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought this as a graduation present. Used one of these a few times when at my in-laws. I honestly can’t say enough good things about this espresso maker. It takes a little finesse to get the grinds dialed in for the dose, but this will change a little depending on the beans you use. Steaming wand works amazingly, makes espresso that is better than Starbucks (they burn their beans), and makes an amazing crema. Absolutely love this machine, we use it daily!

Perfect coffee
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.As long as you can learn how to use it well you will have a perfect cup anytime you make your coffee, the frother and cup that it comes with works really well compared to my last espresso machine and the grinder has made my coffee even better with fresh ground espresso. Only real complaint is how often i need to fill the water but thats an easy fix. With a floater valve, an inline filter and using a t valve to split the line from the fridge/dishwasher water to also go to this you no longer have to worry about that, only the regular cleaning. All in all ill never have to buy coffee at a cafe anymore

Coffee
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Such a great machine! I make coffee everyday with this machine. It might take a minute to learn how to use, but once you figure it out you have your own coffee shop in your house!

Fantastic espresso maker
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The espresso maker is great! It will take some time to make adjustments to get the correct pressure to your liking but the directions help with making those adjustments. I wish they provided a better tamp but it works.

Never have to buy espresso again
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Makes an awesome cup of espresso and doesn't take up too much space. Integrated grinders are super useful to have for maintaining consistency each time you use it. Can't steam milk and pull a shot at the same time but at this price I can't ask for anything more.

Fantastic Espresso Machine
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This machine is fairly user friendly and beginner ready, but watching tutorials helps a lot! The Breville will allow you to skip your morning coffee run, and make your morning latte or cappuccino in your pjs. It is so easy to maintain and easy to clean, especially with the pull out tray. The grinder works flawlessly allowing you to dial in to your desired taste. Breville’s milk frother whispers and tears paper in your favorite milk for adequate paint texture and consistency. Better than any Starbucks given a quality bean in the machine.

Wowzers
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I'm an at-home barista. Prior to this machine I had a delonghi espresso maker, and various traditional stove tops. I also had a hand pump milk frother and used to buy pre-ground coffee from a local coffee shop. NOW.... this machine has replaced all of those. The difference in being able to brew the espresso intermediately after grinding is significant. The milk steamer, although it took a bit of practice, can churn out that paint-like milk to be used to in latte art. My tip is to chill the steel frothing jug in the fridge and use whole milk. I created my first latte art this past weekend! It's ready to go about 30 seconds after you turn it on, which is obviously a better situation than waiting for a stove top. The adjustability in this machine from temperature, to grind size is awesome for honing in on your barista skills. I highly recommend this machine to any at-home baristas. Breville makes excellent products. We also have one of their juicers and that, too, does not disappoint.

Great Coffee from Home
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Truly does make great coffee! Settings allow you to dial in the flavor to your personal desired profile (of course, the beans you use are important too). You don't have to be a professional barista to figure this one out. It does take a little more time to make your coffee in the morning than if you were to use a Keurig. Overall, it's fairly easy to clean and it provides the ability to make more types of coffee drinks with the proper textures and ratios of ingredients. We've had our Breville for about 9 months with no issues or real signs of wear so far. The Stainless Steel version also looks good on the counter. Everyone who has been over and tried the coffee has commented on how good it is. If the price doesn't scare you away, it's totally worth it!

Finally pulled the trigger!
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I could not be more pleased with this machine. It did take a little bit of getting used to, especially as I have no past barista experience. Now I look forward to making my own lattes and espresso at home because it tastes even better than a coffee shop! Definitely worth the splurge.

Great Espresso machine for the home
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This machine is easy to use and makes coffeehouse-level lattes, espressos and americanos.....instead of spending $5 each time you hit starbucks, just save it up and buy this machine. Pros: has a pressure meter. Easy to clean. Large reservoir. Very solid construction.Built-in grinder is convenient Cons: quite noisy.

Worth it!!!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This machine was the best investment I’ve ever made. The directions are straight forward and the machine is very easy to use. Every morning when you take your time to make a beautiful latte you truly begin to appreciate the art in coffee making. Coming from an ex barista, this tastes exactly like what you buy at a coffee shop. So worth it!

No more buying expensive coffee!
||Posted . Owned for more than 2 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If you are a daily espresso drinker like myself, you absolutely must purchase this machine. It makes better espresso than any other coffee shop I've had, and will save you hundreds of dollars a month. It's easy to use and has been extremely reliable in the two years I've owned it. I'll never buy coffee from a coffee shop again!
