Purchased this and im disappointed because the coffee is nowhere near hot enough . Have no other problem with the machine other than this but i dare say it be rarely used because of it as i wanted something that i would have hot coffee on hand but its not worth using if i have to microwave every cup..ewwe

I bought this for my husband as he begins work very early in the morning. With the timer function and heating we both have fresh coffee when we wake up. The smell drifting up in the morning is gorgeous and so far we're very impressed.

The mesh filter is easy to clean as are the other components.
ease of use, easy to clean, reliable timer function

Great coffee maker, but the 2 hour turn off feature is a real problem. I like to make a full carafe of coffee and have coffee on tap for the day. Breakfast at 8.00am, however at lunch time the coffee is cold. unless you intend to drink the full amount that you make within the 2 hours, it is not worth buying. If the machine can be programed to turn on at a specific time, the user should also be able to alter the automatic turn off period.
easy operation, easy to clean
Condensation a small problem, main problem is the 2 hour turn off feature. Breville should give the user the chioce of when the machine turns off.

Purchased this machine recently and it give hot coffee, to those who say its only warm...well your just crazy!! I think the steam from the coffee is a dead give away.
And to those people who say its hard to fill/ measure water for coffee...well you get "out" what you put "in".... So to achieve best results ;-) use the coffee pot to put in the water!! It's super easy lol
I would give it 5 * if it weren't for the condensation dripping down the back of the machine. :-)
Aroma & taste of coffee and style of the machine
Condensation in top of the water cavity.....this I'm sure is a "fault" but I can live with it. Until it or we blow up haha

Very sleek and nice looking. Brews quickly, auto timer is great. The one bad thing is the lid to the coffee pot itself broke after about 6 months. It's a bit of a cheap, plastic hinge that snapped so you just have to lay the lid on top after that. It's too much hassle to get another pot so we just made do with it for a while and then went and bought a whole new set up.
Quick brew and very good looking machine
plastic lid on pot broke after only a few months

We've owned this coffee machine for over a year and still going strong! It makes lovely hot coffee that rivals my local coffee shop. Definitely much cheaper in the long run to buy the fresh beans and brew yourself! I love this machine as you don't even need to use the paper filters - just use the removable filter. I find if you use the paper filters, it absorbs all the lovely coffee oils and ruins your coffee. Highly recommend!
brushed stainless finish, quick brew, HOT coffee

This brews coffee really quickly and does what it says on the tin! You can programme it so that it switches on for you at a certain time ensuring that you have your coffee all ready for you when you get out of bed. Quick and simple to use, and sleek looking! Looks great on the work bench!
Quick & Programmable

Very disappointing. Had a similar one (a Kambrook) for 15 years and it was fabulous. Very reluctant to buy another Breville again!
When it works, it makes a smooth brew. Easy to clean.
After only a few months, I was forced to take it back. The 'drip' system was a dud - the liquid would continue to pour out of the drip filter when the jug was pulled out. On other occasions, the drip system would get clogged and coffee would be pouring over the jug (not into it!). As a result, I don't know how many times I had to clean up the kitchen bench and cupboards.

Got this for my husband for his birthday. It is a really good machine that makes great coffee. Easy to use as well. I recommend this.
Cheap and works well, easy to use

After paying a bit more for a machine that has an auto timer and looks great we were disappointed when it only produced warm coffee,had a narrow area for water filling and has now stopped working after 3 months of use.our latest purchase was under $20 and is the first ever coffee maker we have bought that gives piping hot coffee
Looks good
Cold coffee ...difficult to fill water area ...condensation drips all over bench

I found the machine quick and easy to use, unlike a lot of percolators, this one brews your coffee pretty quickly and tastes great. Only fault is that unless you like black coffee it isn't hot enough, but then again that's most percolators for you! Customer service is very helpful and friendly also
Brews the coffee in record time and has a safety cut of thing, so if you leave it on for far too long after you use it it turns the machine off
Good temperature coffee if you like it black but I like mine with milk (only a tiny bit) and I find I have to microwave it afterwards, then again I like really hot coffee

I'm brazilian, and in Brazil we actually do prefer dripolators to spresso machines and it should be! lol.. I love this coffee machines, it works great and very affordable.
Fast, easy to clean, coffee is hot, good price and lets beautiful smell of fresly brewed coffee.
Nothing really
