Learning curve takes time to master
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have had this machine for 3 weeks and I am still learning the many aspects of it’s use. Coming from using a Ninja pod machine which was quick and easy there is definitely a learning curve and time investment. Coffee flavor is improved. I am still struggling with the steam wand and getting a micrfoam result. Milk is coming out flat and not foamy. I have cleaned the wand several times and still poor results. I will be contacting the manufacturer to find out what I am doing wrong . I have used a steam wand on a prior less expensive machine with much better results. This is the only issue I have had to date. I will update this review in a couple of months once I have more time to use the machine.

Great Mornings Brought to you by Breville
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Never thought that a product could improve my mornings so significantly. Easy to use, easy to clean, and makes great espresso. If you are thinking about or have purchased: A good starter coffee is: Lavazza crema e aroma Also, consider buying a tamper, the one that comes with the machine does a descent job but a heavier one off amazon helps create more consistent pulls of espresso.

Great product!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So far I have enjoyed using this machine, it's a great beginner machine. We chose this particular model based on our previous experience with other Breville products we own. Like all other espresso machines there is somewhat of a learning curve involved in producing the exact product that you want. In the long run, I feel like we will save money vs. visiting our local coffee shop or chain every other day.

Worth every penny !
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is the best coffee machine, worth every penny. I had previously bought a fully automatic (another brand) but had to return it bc it was of poor quality. Breville is very sturdy, high-quality expresso with smooth crema, and moderate size and aesthetically pleasing. I highly recommend this coffee machine.

First espresso machine, perfect fit!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My partner and I wanted to get an espresso machine and didn't want to go too beginner, but didn't want to pay over $1,000 for it, either. After doing research, we chose this product, and we are so glad we did! You have to follow the instructions to make sure it's set up right and you have to know how to use all the functions like grind size and grind amount to make sure you're getting the most out of your system. Once you have everything in place, it is consistently amazing espresso every single time! Hang in there if it takes a few tries to get it right, don't blame the machine!

A Profesional Espresso Machine for Home
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love this machine. I have no prior espresso experience before owning this machine and overall simple to use but a lot of features for the professional user as well. It makes wonderful espresso. I can make my own white chocolate mochas now. Sorry Starbucks you don't get my money anymore.

Excelent Espresso machine.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This machine wa exactly what I was looking for. From the moment you open the box, it screams class. But it's not until after you have consistently perfect espresso that you really appreciate not wasting all that time and money at the local coffee shop. I haven't tried making cappuccino yet but I imagine it will work just as well for that. It took me three weeks to choose which machine I wanted and boy! Am I glad I did my research because this one was worth the extra effort. Enjoy!

Amazing machine that will save you money.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Amazing espressos! It takes a few tries to see what grind setting your beans need but after that it's amazing. I don't buy iced coffee drinks out anymore! Some say fresh beans are the only way to make espresso in this machine, but I disagree. Yes, fresh roasted beans definitely give you a different texture, but store beans do well, to me anyways. Just remember to follow the directions in the book and you should do well. Also, its normal for the drip tray to have water in it, just empty it after a few days. I'm so glad I made this purchase.

Better than Starbucks
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this for my girlfriend as a bday gift, she uses it every day. Has a bit of a learning curve since she had never used one before, but no complaints over the last yr and a half. Saves so much money and better than any coffee shop.
