4.5 Stars, Built like a tank!
OK, It's not perfect. I wish I could pour coffee beans in and have it grind them fresh. It's a little messy to pack the coffee and cleaning the froth wand is not easy. Also I wish it would stop after a preset amount of espresso was brewed. All in all it takes a few minutes to make that perfect cappucino.Still, the complaints are minor considering I only paid $150 on w00t! for a refurbished machine. It has paid for it's self many times over on what I've saved on coffee shops.Some have complained about the filter clogging. Maybe because I don't grind the coffee too fine, I've had no problems in more than 6 months.I am considering stepping up to an even better machine because I've used this Breville every day. For the money, it's been fantastic!
