You won't regret it!
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.One of the best purchases I've ever made! I bought mine during the pandemic, when many coffee shops were closed. I had no idea at the time how much use I would get out of this machine. It makes a superb espresso with a thick crema, & even less expensive beans end up tasting good. I can easily make drinks equal to or better than a coffee shop. Tip-- purchase a 'dosing funnel' ($10 on a site that starts with an A), total game changer....attach to the porta filter while grinding, makes tamping a breeze/ easy clean up/ zero waste.

Great espresso, minimal effort
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a great machine so far, very low maintenance, cleans up easily. Took some light experimenting to get the ground / coffee amount to sync up, once complete, great doubleshot of espresso every time. I mostly go with an americano for ease, but I've been happy with capuccinos as well. Espresso makes a nice affogato and a really good martini too.

Fantastic machine.
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great machine for how small it is. Grinds the coffee well (although loud) espresso comes out great. I love that i can steam some milk if i crave a latte or cappuccino. Weve had this machine for over a year now and it still works like a charm. Key is to keep it clean.

Great At Home Espresso Machine
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great machine for an at home coffee bar. Saving me and my girlfriend tons of money by staying home and getting better coffee out of it. I recommend this machine because it's tried and true. You will find countless videos, reddit posts, forums, threads, etc., on how to set it up, use it, make any drinks, tips, tricks, all of it.

Just bite the bullet and purchase this machine
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was searching for an espresso machine in August. I didn’t want to spend $700 on a coffee machine so I went with the De’Longhi all in one coffee/espresso maker. Within a month the pump went and although the year warranty covered us to get sent a new machine, the new pump started to go immediately. We went right to Best Buy and gave them the replacement De’Longhi for this machine and I wish I had just purchased it in the first place. It took some playing with but it’s reliable and delicious and fun to use. I couldn’t recommend this espresso maker enough.

Delicious espresso at home!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great machine! Easy to use and makes great espresso drinks! The machine comes with all of the accessories you need. This is our second Breville. The first one served us well for many years but some of the o rings failed after extensive use and we chose not to try to repair it.

Great coffee
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If you love coffee, this will bring your coffee mojo up ten notches. I used a Keurig for years and didn't know what I was missing. I found a new meaning in what coffee should taste like. Highly recommended!

Good machine
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’m not a regular coffee drinker. I purchased this as a gift for my wife who drinks coffee everyday. This is a really good machine for what it does in the space it’s designed. If the coffee is not good it’s usually because of the choice of bean more than anything else. It’s designed well so you really cannot complain. The only problem is that it’s hard to use this as an everyday appliance if you have a busy life. We use this once a week on average and have found it easier to use the nespresso for everyday use since it gets the job done quicker sometimes at the cost of coffee that does not taste as good. That’s the case story with most things in life.

worth every penny!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We had a Nespresso that cost about $100, but the capsules we liked cost $1.25 each. Being heavy coffee drinkers, I'd say we went thru 100 capsules a month, so when we figured it out, that put us at $1,500 per year for capsules alone. After doing the math, we opted to give this machine a try and invested in our favorite coffee beans, Allegro Bel Canto, which costs about $12/lb at Whole Foods. In a nutshell, we are very happy with this machine's performance in every aspect, from grinding to brewing and the convenience of having hot water for an Americano and steam for lattes and cappuccinos right at your fingertips. Be patient because at first I was a little intimidated with all stainless steel, dials and buttons, so my husband had to walk me thru the steps, but once you master your skills, you will be saving your money in the long run and enjoying cup after cup of a perfect coffee drink. As a added plus, it helps with my efforts to go GREEN, as I save my coffee grinds in a container as I do with used eggshells and about once a month I pulverize the eggshells and sprinkle both around my roses and then add miracle grow and my roses have never looked more beautiful, so there is no waste. So, give it a try ... you will be very happy you did :-)

Amazing machine
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love this espresso machine. I was easily able to adjust the grinder; internal and external adjustment. I often pull great shots of espresso as a novice espresso machine user. The steam wand does a great job, but sometimes the steam shuts off while I'm trying to use it. It seems like the compressor stops for some reason. This happens when I switch between purging the water within the steam wand, switching the steam to off, switching the steam back on and putting the wand into the cup.
