I bought this machine cheap. As an ex-barista the machine is a bit time consuming to produce a cup but does the job well. I am able to do latte art and get my espresso shots. Maintaining the machine is real easy. All in all this machine does what it's...

This machine makes great coffee and crema. However, I find the middle knob that switch from coffee to frother sometimes so stiff that I cannot turn it. This machine frothes the milk to perfection. I purchased this machine about 2.5 years ago, no leaks...

This machine was a nightmare to own! I had just graduated uni (2007) so thought I'd treat myself to this espreso mchine as Breville used to have a good name in my family... How wrong I was with THIS product. Incredibly loud- I worried our neighbours...
