One of my best purchases! Rather than spending money to buy coffee on the to work, I just make some before I go. I love this coffee machine. Just make sure you get good quality beans and make sure to play around with settings (plenty on youtube) to get the best result.

We love our Breville make about 6 coffees a day and it's goin strong, the milk frothing is more variable compared to those automatic models like the oracle but you save $1k in the process and the manual process is fun, some days youll make a coffee to rival any great cafe, every so often youll stuff it up .

To sum it up a great machine do yaself a favour and make the switch from those nasty pods.

This was a great unit for a home user or in our case, a small business wanting a non-commercial machine. Has poured excellent coffee over 2 years but has started to develop leaks and corrosion internally. May not be worth repairing, but we feel we've got our monies worth out of it.

We were all really happy when the Boss finally purchased us a coffee machine and this one is a beauty! So quick and easy to use and makes coffee better than some cafes! Love the milk steamer, no frills, easy to operate machine! Definitely a winner in our office and also with clients

Got it on special from Good Guys. Very great coffee machine. Much better than our previous capsule one. Easy to maintain. Great taste of coffee. It's not that expensive if you consider how much coffee you will drink outside. Highly recommend for any coffee lover. The dual boiler is also great. Saves time.

Makes fantastic coffee (using good beans of course) is reasonably quiet when it's starting up and doesn't take long in the mornings until its good to go. Only thing could be improved is if it stayed turned on for a bit longer once you don't touch anything for a while until it goes into standby. Apart from that can't fault it

A now obsolete plastic part that previously cost $3 is now unavailable and the fix is $500.. complete joke Breville. You force me to buy the spare overseas.
Such a shame as the coffee was quite good from this machine. Just dont expect it to last more than 5 years.

Fantastic coffee machine. I’ve had mine for over 4 years and it works like new. steamer is brilliant producing smooth creamy milk every time. I love it! I’m not sure why they have discontinued this model. Seems like a shame. I predict I’ll have this for many more years to come!

After completing lots of research, we purchased the Dual Boiler as it was meant to be one of Breville's better machines. We were able to make pretty good coffee after a short time. Unfortunately, the steam wand developed a slow leak. I didn't think it was anything major, however, the warranty was about to expire so I took it in for repair. The repairer found that one of the boilers had corroded and many of the internals were rusted. The machine was prohibitively expensive to repair, so it was replaced with a brand new machine of the same model.

We're hoping we'll have better luck this time round.

It's a good machine, until it breaks.

I have now had this machine for a while. This machine produce the best café quality coffee. I use this machine every day and look forward to my morning hit. The machine is easy to use quick to clean. It holds quite a bit of water so you do not need to top up every time you use it. I would recommend this machine to anyone.

A fantastic machine for the price which allows you to make barista style coffees in your own kitchen every morning. The separate grinder is excellent and the dials/digital display allow you to customise the grind settings and dose with ease (particularly useful when experimenting with different coffee beans). Coffee machine is a breeze to use and no fuss to clean. Well built with many professional like features - highly recommended.

Purchased in April 2016 and performed well until doing a descale in August 2017. After the descale the machine started leaking from the hot water tap. The machine is now in for repair for the fourth time with issues such as leaking from steamer and turning off while heating up. We now have a very expensive paper weight. Do not buy this machine if you want a quality product that lasts. Breville customer service's mantra is "there's a two year repair warranty" and refuse to replace what is clearly a faulty machine.

We got the red model which is quite nice and the dual boiler makes the ready time to use the coffee machine quite instantaneous. The grinder works perfectly and coffee machine makes great coffee we haven't had any issues after having it for 2 years now. This model has been replaced by a new model but breville makes great products in general.
