    The grinder would not produce a useable expresso grind. The store staff is great! I was able to return it for the Breville. Wow what a difference!!

    This one I will be returning soon because it doesn’t have much options like double shot coffee or espresso function. I do not recommend this item to buy paying $899 + tax. This product is worth to pay $299 but nothing more

    When I first purchased the machine it was great. Did everything I wanted in an espresso machine. Just after a year of use the pump for the steam wand stop working. I’ve read the pump is one the main problems with this machine. I expected the machine to last more than a year.
