this makes really nice coffee, no question about it.

That said how on earth did Breville forget to put a water level indicator light on the front panel? This would be more useful that the pressure gauge which is a bit of a gimmick.

Too many times I have been caught half way through a brew where the water runs out and you have to start again, wasting coffee and wasting time.

I actually wouldnt buy another one based on this oversight, which is a shame

I have been using this product to make my daily coffee for the last five years and highly recommend it. Breville makes a value for money coffee machine that delivers the perfect daily grind.

I have been using this machine very day for the past few years ever since I purchased it. It has become part of my morning routine. Can’t live without it.

- I bought this coffee machine on a 20% off The Good Guys eBay sale.
- It makes an awesome coffee and the machine is easy to clean.
- It has a good level of adjustment meaning you can tweak it to make optimal coffee for whichever beans you use.
- I would recommend this machine for anyone looking to have an entry-level manual coffee machine.

This machine has changed my mornings for the better. I am now able to make cafe quality coffee at home. A bit fiddly at first but once you work out your grind quantity and coarseness everything is very easy. My only issue is the water reservoir rattles when the machine is using water, and the size of the reservoir could be a bit bigger.

Had for many years and still works perfectly! A great coffee machine that grinds, brews and froths your way to coffee heaven! Easy to use and customise to get just the way you like it.

Much better than the pod machines, it's the perfect machine without having to spend thousands on a proper barista machine from a cafe. I love being able to try new beans an experiment with it, you get a great crema when making a long black.

We absolutely loved this machine. However after about 2 years it developed some problems with the programming and wouldn't just give a shot of coffee. It would just pour continually. We followed the instruction manual with how to program it and reset it but made no difference. So it's been dishonourably retired.

Buyer beware with this coffee machine. It was bought July 2017. It won’t pressurise anymore, never reaches espresso and the coffee shot literally doesn’t stop pouring out unless you turn it off. Do research breville and the faults before you buy. I’m going to look for a better quality, longer lasting brand and look into this further accc.

Made great coffee but 2 months out of warranty and stopped working. Makes 2 cups per day, not much usage in my book.
Was a present for my wife and I expected it to last longer.

This machine produce good quality of the espresso. In every morning I cannot imagine without espresso from Breville. It is easy to make my best one. I really love it!

We use ours every day. Simple and easy to use without the huge price tag of other machines. Also like that the machine is a bit smaller than the more expensive models as saved on bench space. Straight forward to clean.

This is a awesome machine it makes lovely tasty coffee, it gives a good crema every time it makes good velvety frothy milk and it holds the temperature of the milk excellent.
I would recommend this coffee machine it’s a little gem.

Great coffee machine for the price. Best of the mid range coffee machines.
Easy to use and perfect for the home of those who enjoy a really good coffee but are not interested in being obsessed baristas.

What a great and easy to use coffee machine? We absolutely love making coffee now no more instant crap.
Everyone in our Family love coming over and enjoying a coffee at our home.
The grinder works so well easy to tamper the temperature of the coffee is perfect.
The milk frother works really well.
Just make sure to clean it after every use.
The Coffee is better than most of our Coffee shops in our local area.
We bought the brushed stainless steel design as it easy to clean.

We were looking at changing from a pod machine for taste and environmental reasons. As we like to have our coffee different this machine allows us to use full bodied, crema and decaf in either beans or ground. I find it easy to use, and have had great results every time I make a coffee. I found the group a little tight at first however that soon loosened up and now it can be done quickly and one handed if needed. The wand is easy to use and has plenty of movement to get the angle right for the desired end result. The noise level is good, it is easy to fill the water tank, and cleaning is also easy. It doesn't take up alot of room on the bench and the brushed stainless steel look keeps it fresh and clean looking

We have one at home and one at work. Adjusting initially to get the right creme takes some goes but it is brilliant after that. Make sure you clean it as advised and it will last years.

I love this coffee machine, have now had it for 2 months and have enjoyed the bonus beans that were offered as a promotion at purchase.
It is so easy to use and maintain you'll never consider a pod coffee machine again.
Must admit I get a bit of a kick out of trying to texture milk, actually find joy in making my own coffee.
Bonus is im saving money by not going out for coffee.
Absolutely recommend, machine produces quality coffee to yoir taste and is very easy to maintain.

We are stoked with our recent upgrade!!! Makes perfect espresso, with the best Crema! The beanz last in this inbuilt grindr and stay so fresh, saving us an absolute fortune in coffee costs and heats up straight away (30 seconds) we keep ours on, huge water storage to keep the hot water and steam flowing, quite for the size of it and looks great. Seriously a barista quality machine, we upgraded from the smaller Breville and will never look back, big enough to fit a LARGE mug under the espresso poor, comes with a range of jug sizes. By far the best value for money of all Barista quality machines, recommend for home use, perhaps even commercial its that good.
