Easy to use for the beginning home barista and makes great shots of espresso for lattes! You will need to purchase a high quality espresso grinder to get the most out of this product.
Replaced a 7 year old Breville duotemp with the infuser. Had to repair the duotemp 3 times in those seven years (replaced water diffuser twice and had to make my own knob seat). This one seems to be higher quality and so far has pulled great shots every time using the same grind and tamp as the duotemp. With only 3 weeks experience I would recommend this machine. I use locally roasted Colombian beans and pull 3 double shots per day.
I love my Infuser. I use it several times every day. It makes great espresso, is easy to learn to use and is very aesthetically pleasing on my counter. Would highly recommend.
The Breville Infuser is our first espresso machine and we are glad we spent a little more to get a great machine. It is straightforward to operate and makes a great Americano and Latte. It is easy to clean and to keep the water tank full.
