Love this thing. Looks great and works great. A pleasure to use. Having the tamper built in is helpful, and having the pressure gauge provides useful feedback. I chose to get the Infuser rather than the Express and buy the Breville grinder separately to have the option of grinding beans for pour overs, french press etc.
We stepped up from a baby gaggia to this machine - and we are delighted. The steam wand works beautifully; the shots are consistent (once we experimented with roast and grind); the hot water dispenser is a great feature for Americanos; footprint is just right (not too big). Truly a great home espresso machine!
We love the machine. Our morning coffee is as good as you can get anywhere in town, except we don't have to leave the house! This machine functions wonderfully and is handsome on the counter!
