I wanted to love this brewer but it has not met my expectations

I love Breville products so I had high hopes for this brewer given the price. Brewing 24 ounces of coffee works well but trying to brew the full 60 ounces just doesn’t work. I tried all of the trouble shooting suggestions but no matter what I do about 12 ounces of water remain in the tank and the pot is not full. This, of course, changes the desired strength of the coffee.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

We are truly sorry for your experience. We will send a separate email to you and hope you will give us the opportunity to correct the situation.
I've had this for a few weeks and have had some issues. One is when I brew 4 cups or less the water tank still has about a cup of water left in it.
The other issue is I don't think it likes filtered well water. I set the hardness level based upon the test results, but the coffee has almost a metallic aftertaste. I switched to bottled water and it went away for the most part, but I'm guessing the water hardness may need to be tested again based upon now using bottled water.
I don't have any of these issues when brewing expresso or using a French press, so I'm not sure what to do at this point. Breville support has been slow to respond.

Just like all Breville appliances, fantastic quality, user friendly, and an excellent coffee maker. This is my third Breville appliance due to their exceptional quality.
Great Features, but a distinct lack of instruction on how to utilize them. Quick start guide is 50%

Verified Purchase:Yes
Mastery of this machine is by trial and error. Bloom time and flow rate settings will make a better cup of coffee but reaching the settings may be a mystery for most

While I really appreciate a 2 minute brew time and the coffee tasting great, I find the programming to be problematic. It is not as simple as I had hoped. Combined with the size of the unit, I am honestly not thrilled with the purchase.
