This was such a great little machine. But then one day it died and there was no getting it back...

I would consider buying the same machine again though as it was so good while it lasted. It was pretty cheap so I would buy it again and just deal with it needing to be replaced every 2.5 years. Still is cheaper than buying a coffee every day1

This little rocket is great, runs well, easy to operate. However, it is very loud.
We do not use the milk wand because it doesn't have much pressure. I will just heat milk on the stove. I thought it came with a blind filter so we could back flush but it didn't so I had to buy one online and also chemical cleaner.
Otherwise great machine.

I bought this as me and my friends were used to spend a lott on coffee. As we are studying, we need coffee to keep us awake . This machine works great for sure. Grinding is smooth and cofee shot is just perfect. Makes cafe type coffee if u knw how to make

I use this every morning before I head off for the day. Makes a great coffee and is easy to use. Just fill up the water at the back, press down the coffee, and froth the milk. Is really quick and easy to use. My only gripe with this product is when you turn it on initially it is really noisy. But apart from that a great machine!

Noisy, produces weak cold coffee - taking it back! Also find it inconvenient having to wait for it to heat the water before leaving it to do it's thing, wouldn't be too bad if it actually gave you hot coffee, but you have to put it in the microwave afterwards! Wish one could try machines out before buying.

Really great coffee machine. Coffee tastes great from it and it's pretty easy to Clean. I found running a few cups of vinegar then water through has It sparkling like new again. Drip tray has handy toggle to let you know when to empty it. The needle for cleaning the milk sprout is hidden Away to the side so you do loose it
.

Well my ex fiancee died and on his outback veranda there was this coffee machine, I ask dose any one want it and all said no so I took it up to my son place a d he cleans it and wallar it works like brand new the coffee is delicious

This coffee machine is simple and easy to use, settings and instructions are clear and defined. The pump is strong enough as can be expected for the price point although the heating element is only an entry level item.

The basic improvements over previous Breville models are a welcome edition: ejecting single and double shot holders, clear spoon.

I'm very happy with the machine considering the price we paid.

Breville Compact Cafe is a fantastic coffee machine. My partner and I use ours every single day and has never let us down!
We are massive coffee consumers, so having a great coffee machine is important to us.
The coffee taste amazing each time, milk heats up quickly.
Really easy to clean and refill with water.
Stainless is very easy to clean.

Easy and nice to use it . Nice build quality. Does the great job.Fast and easy to clean up with the breville cleaning kit and cleaning tablet. Just need more constantly pressure when you doing more than one coffee Or when you need to frothing a big jug of milk.

We were given this machine as a gift over Christmas which I put in the office.
Total rubbish and didn't produce good steam from day one (I've owned a few coffee machines and have a Rancilio Silvia, Gaggia Classic and Giotto Rocket at home).
Unfortunately, we don't have the receipt due to it being a gift.

I'm disappointed with this machine. The heating takes forever using the steam wand. I'm thinking of either taking it back or buying a separate milk frother. It takes ages, and doesn't make the milk hot enough, no matter how long I steam it for. I still have to put my coffee in the microwave. It would be no good to use with friends around, it takes about 5-6 minutes to make 1 cup of coffee including zapping it in the microwave.

This is a terrible coffee machine. I've had to replace mine twice and have had to buy extra parts that have made zoero difference. The coffee comes out like Mud and tastes terrible. The steamer doesn't steam like it should so it takes ages to heat up the milk. You can't clean it properly as there's no manual to show you how. Waste of money

Easy to use
Worth for the price

Happy with my machine overall, makes yummy coffee!
One problem is the can not use own flesh ground coffee.
Better to use pre-grounded coffee from shop.
Easy to make fluffy form milk. Better than other machine
I was impressed

Overall a good machine, easy to clean.

I bought one Breville cafe Venezia coffee machine. I returned it. Then exchanged it, going to return the second one first thing in the morning! The machine makes my coffee taste like chemicals and burned plastic!!! Extremely disappointed!!!!!!!!!!!!ll :( I would return it, even if it was for free. Super Disappointed!!!!

The coffee tastes OK but on the whole the machine is terrible as the filters are constantly clogging up. I have tried grinding coarser but it still happens. We also used filtered water.
It is now stored in the back bedroom and we have (shame!!!) purchased a pod machine - not great coffe but no hassle.

I purchased the above coffee maker, the Breville about 2 years ago but it has been a big disappointment. It was only used periodically but even after a fee month uses the coffee beans were splattering. Follow all instructions and gave up and turned to Aldi capsules which I don't like using!
Phoned Breville and was advise the the machine needed the plastic ring changed! Referred me to a nearby repairman. It would have cost me $50 to fix it but with not much of a warranty! One advice f
rom Breville: it is in quality inexpensive machine that the company's name should shine as " Bad products give companies bad name"
