As a huge coffee drinker I have found that this espresso machine delivers some of the best taste in Lattes I have ever had! Seriously, better than Starbucks by a long shot and right on your kitchen counter!

It was gift. But had a great buying experience with Great Offer Stock

Has been a great purchase so far!

Came fast. Exactly as expected.

Makes perfect espresso nice and hot and foamy

Worth the price...between me and my husband being coffee junkies, this has been the best investment EVER! No more trips to starbucks. Very easy and convenient to understand and operate.

I purchased this as a Christmas gift. Great look, makes exceptional drinks. Everyone raves about them. Even non coffee drinkers.

it's been 2 and a half years and it's been a wonderful machine. being able to make my own fresh ground coffee has made me a bit of a coffee snob! I appreciate the great coffee i get at home and even have friends and family who call it the best coffee ever.. i buy starbucks beans and make it at home .. has saved me hundreds already and looks amazing! ..love love love

Still making little adjustments as we go. The espresso flavor has been great and the frothed milk is super creamy. The only down side is the reservoir is pretty small.

For the price you will not find a better espresso machine. Tank holds a lot of water and you can adjust bean grind size and amount to taste

We use this daily and love it.. the quality is amazing and you can make some great coffee with it.

First espresso machine but I am really impressed, a little bit of a learning curve but not hard to master with a couple of YouTube videos.

We really liked this machine for the first 9 months we used it and then it started making a horrible mechanical grinding sound when the water would flow. We decalcified, ran the cleaning cycle, changed the filter and nothing helped. So we flushed it out several times. Nope. We hoped in time it would just sort it's self out. It just got worse. A bit of background on the maintenance of our machine: I'm a stickler for having a clean espresso machine and had been running the cleaning cycle every 2 months, decalcifying as recommended in the booklet and changing the charcoal filter regularly. I have only ever used filtered water in it. It has been used at most once a day to make a double shot. Basically, it's been pampered. We googled the problem and discovered a Youtube video of someone demonstrating the exact same issue. There were dozens of comments from other people who had the exact same issue. Breville had even stated to one of them that it was a known issue. So about a month ago, we gave up and called Breville, at this point the machine is still under warranty. We called them at 2pm EDT on a business day and their phone lines were "closed". Tried again the next day, same thing. Even though their automated closed message says that they're open til 5pm. We tried again the next day and finally got through to someone. Before they would do anything with the machine she wanted us to try some alternative cleaning methods, which she said she would email to us. The email never arrived. I then emailed them to chase them up, I got a response 5 days later saying I'd need to call if I wanted assistance. We then called again yesterday, where we got the whole I'll email you some cleaning instructions and if it doesn't work call us back AGAIN. We finally got these instructions. We were instructed to run a cleaning cycle 3 times in a row. We did that, it made the sound worse. Called back again today (this is now the 5th time we've called). Only for them to tell us that they no longer replace these espresso machines if they're faulty, even though it states on their website: "Your Breville® product is covered by a one-year limited warranty from the date of purchase. Should your Breville product have a defect in product material or workmanship within the first year of purchase, Breville will arrange to have your original product returned to us, and will deliver an identical or comparable replacement to you, free of charge." Instead all they'll do is offer to try and repair it, we have to send it to their repair center where it will take over a month for them to attempt a repair on this pile of junk. If that fails then we're on our own. They said, alternatively, we could contact the retailer for a refund/exchange. However, because Breville have now screwed us around for SO long, our machine is now 3 days out of warranty so I doubt the retailer will help us. I am so upset with this purchase and will never buy another Breville product. Their product quality is dismal and their customer service is despicable.

Great espresso machine. The grinder goes talc fine if you need it, and the pressure gauge helps train you for a good pull. It's pricey, but can pay itself off in a relatively short time if you're avoiding Starbucks as a result.

Great look and fabulous taste. Best home expresso machine.

I have now had the Breville for 3 weeks and I am saving huge amount of $. No more Starbucks and I have learned to operate the machine from all the Online videos on Youtube

This is excellent home espresso machine. Also I would like to say Great Offer Stock has the best customer service.

Super high quality, excellent coffee taste, and best performanc to price ratio! Now, we don't drink Starbucks coffee any more ^^

I had an earlier model, but this puppy is a dream! The grinder is wonderful! The shots have so much creme! I can now make my favorite caramel macchiato for pennies instead of $6!

Very happy with this purchase, works like a dream
