    I got this for my wife for Christmas, we decided to take it to a family reunion to make lattes and put it back in the box. When carrying out to the car in the breville box, the bottom of the box opened up and everything fell out. The water dispenser broke, and the espresso machine got scuffed.

    The controls are not always showing, so one has to closely follow/learn directions. It would be easier to use if the directions and/or controls were clearly displayed on the unit.
    It does perform well with good pressure control. A bit heavy to carry with you on a bike.

    I have never used an espresso machine but I am very happy with this purchase. I’ve enjoyed and satisfied my cravings of getting coffee at Starbucks! I also am able to find Phillz coffee at Target and I’m very happy that I can make me own now from home! Still learning how to froth a milk perfectly but I am very excited and happy with this machine!

    La Breville Barista Express ha sido la segunda máquina de espresso de uso casero que he usado–no un largo historial de uso, lo reconozco–y debo decir es mi favorita hasta el día de hoy.

    Es fácil de usar, especialmente para aquellos con experiencia en el espresso, y para los que no tienen mucha experiencia, una leída al manual, o un par de videos en Youtube deberían servir para casi cualquier problema. Una de mis características favoritas de esta máquina es que viene con su propio molinillo de café, permitiéndome comprar café en grano para una bebida como se debe.

    Y aunque pensada para uso casero, la he usado para algunos eventos de catering y, no obstante que es obvio que no fue hecha para eso, la máquina cumple muy bien su labor.

    Mi único punto de crítica, es que siento que es algo difícil espumar la leche: en casi dos años de uso, debo decir que no suele generar tanta espuma para capuchinos como me gustaría.

    Una compra recomendada la verdad.

    It works well, inflates my ebike tires up pretty quickly. Only downside is that after pumping up only one tire which just needs like 10 more psi in it, the battery could be already halfway out. I wouldn’t rely on it heavily but more for like emergencies. I charge it back up immediately after use so if there is an emergency when I’m out riding, I wouldn’t have to worry about it too much

  6. Breanna

    Easy to use once you get the hang of it, I had to try a few different shot sizes, ground sizes ect. Coffee shop quality espresso ☕️ my house smells amazing after brewing a few shots

  7. Maggie Chou

    Wow this is amazing. I only used this less than two mins I was fully pumped my two tires of my E-scooter scooter. So happy

  8. Vicki C.

    This makes it fun to pump up tires. I have had three different items that I never could use easily to pump up tires. Now it’s not only easy, it’s fun.

  9. Natalya

    This product is really great. The convenient size and attractive design make it a wonderful addition to my coffee station. It heats up quickly, which is a huge plus for those early morning rushes. The sturdy construction and large water reservoir show its quality. The milk frother is a star performer. But the best part? The espresso flavor is just top-notch. I might add a tip: watch a few YouTube videos on how to use it. It took me a few tries, but once I got the hang of it, the coffee tastes amazing.

  10. IDartist

    I’ve been a bit intimidated for a while from purchasing one of these machines. After reading a lot of reviews, we finally bought one. We’ve had our machine for one month now and love it. The only small learning curve we’ve had (which was figuring out the correct grind amount), we’ve been able to create our own coffees and lattes at home and I no longer have to wait in drive-thru lines on my way to work. I don’t have any complaints at this time, other than I wish we would have purchased one sooner. The machine is a little heavy, so sliding it out from under our cabinets to fill with water/fill grinder isn’t convenient, but not an issue and well worth creating a great cup of coffee!!

  11. Baianada Prime

    This thing is awesome. Easy to use, easy to clean and it makes coffee so simple and fast.
    Wife loves the milk drinks as well, cappuccinos and lattes are easy to make as well, just pressing a button.
    I just wish the water tank was bigger, so it doesn’t need to be replenished as often.

  12. Kevin Dykstra

    We love this espresso machine so much! It is certainly an investment and no small amount of money – but its definitely worth it.

    I will say, the machine is a bit of a challenge to dial in for a first-timer. Definitely recommend to anyone who buys this machine to watch some videos online on how to properly dial in the machine. It was super helpful, for example, to know about adjusting the grind size on the inside of the machine and not just with the dial on the outside. I had to adjust the grind settings inside to really dial it in. Additionally, I found it helpful to measure out the dosing size (18g is what I used for a double) outside of the machine before grinding them in the machine. This cuts out one variable (the grind amount setting, which is based on a timer) until you figure out the correct grind size. Once the grind size was dialed in, it was fairly easy to figure out where the grind amount setting needed to be for the dosing that I wanted. Likewise, steaming milk takes practice. Definitely recommend practicing with water and a drop of soap. It takes some time to figure it out. Lastly, its very helpful to know that you can adjust the output amount by using the program button (I use the 2:1 ratio of 18g coffee and 36g espresso out).

    All that said, this machine is GOLDEN once you learn the ropes. It has every feature you will need to get into the espresso world. Its such a well-built machine that clearly had a lot of thought put into it – for example, the hot water shuts off automatically to get the right amount for an americano. This machine has opened up a whole new world for our family and we are so happy we made this purchase.

  13. Paul V.

    The pump works decently well, however some of the parts are low quality. The air tube has a small plastic adapter tip that easily broke with minimal pressure. I contacted the manufacturer by email and phone. No response by email & phone number did not work.

    Update: they returned my email & are sending a replacement part. Will update once complete!

    Not recommended.

  14. Martin Vazquez

    The machine makes the perfect express everytime after you have gone to setting it to your liking. However, every once in a while it stops feeding the coffee beans in the grinder. So I have to add more beans and manually rearrange the beans in the feeder.

  15. Palo Andino

    Great product, many months of use I can say that the battery has good life, I use it more on a motorcycle. Works wonderfully. Buy it you won’t regret it.

  16. B**** M*****

    I was tired of the cost and waste of Nespresso pods and I almost never used my drip coffee maker anymore. Caught this unit on sale and after reading mostly favorable reviews, took the plunge. This is now the only coffee machine in the house.

    It definitely works best with an Italian roast (lighter roast, less oily). Starbucks beans might be too greasy for this. We either buy Italian brand name or local roastery beans. Love the built in water filter – no need to use distilled or filtered water. Maintenance is fairly easy every week or two and it’s great at letting you know the bin is full or the water tray needs emptying.

    The only, very minor, negatives we’ve found is having to wait 30-60 seconds once it is powered on to run through its maintenance cycle (I’m impatient for my coffee in the morning) and sometimes the water level sensor is a bit finicky. Neither issue is a big deal.

    The overall build quality seems quite good and I feel like we’ll see many years of use out of this machine.

  17. Stellajean Wilson

    This product is really great. I was instantly drawn to its sleek design. It’s a beautiful machine that would enhance the aesthetic of any kitchen. The performance is as impressive as its looks. I’m delighted with my purchase!

  18. JoJo

    Everything to like, nothing to dislike. After I learned to dial in the coffee and steam the milk to a perfect froth, I enjoy my Breville every day.

  19. BD

    Obsessed. And finally quit the bucks! Very worth it and amazing espresso when using high quality beans. I highly recommend this for espresso lovers, I use mine daily.

  20. Isabel

    encantada porque me ayuda con las bike, el carro, la moto, una pelota o cualquier cosa que lleve aire

  21. Tamara Wooley

    Took the plunge and bought one. Read through tons of reviews and watched video’s on YouTube on how to operate it. This is one nice machine and it is built like a tank. I’m sure it will last for years to come. And the Espresso is so good!!!

  22. Destanie

    I worked as the manager of a coffee shop for many years and this was the perfect addition to my personal home to fill that barista itch when I need some GOOD coffee. Very user friendly/easy to use and makes a great drink

  23. Vanessa Dominguez

    This is definitely worth the extra money. It works wonderfully! After a year of use it works great. Just make sure to clean it and it will last you. The espresso tastes so much better! We had been using a cheap machine to learn how to make espresso and we upgraded to this machine. It grinds the espresso really well, and has different options.

  24. T.S. Newhart

    After 5 years of daily use our first one of these finally died…;-(. Obviously it was a terrible, terrible day. Lots of tears. While waiting a few weeks for the Baristas to go on sale we tried going back to S’Buck’s and learned, once again, we can make much better coffee drinks with the Breville than we get at Buck’s. Also the math is glaringly simple and compelling. In the years we owned the Breville we saved, no joke, many THOUSANDS of dollars. And this is with just two coffee drinkers in the house. A serious no-brainer, at least for us.

  25. Jan

    We bought this as a birthday gift for our son. He had been without a coffee maker for months. We own the exact same model and it is 9 years old and still going strong. We make mainly Americanos but our granddaughter comes over and makes us mocha’s. She makes very fancy designs with the foam. Love it!!

  26. Dennis Barnes

    It is compact, lite weight, easy to use, exactly what I needed. It has a lite, short hose that fit into the body of the pump.

  27. JennLee

    Great Machine, easy to use, makes great espresso every time! Took a few tries to get the grinder settings right. Perfect addition to our kitchen!

  28. Marcelo S.

    Great Expresso maker for the beginner/intermediate coffee drinker.
    Just wish it had two boilers, but at this price you won’t find a better one than this!

  29. Eva Espinoza

    Delivered early which was a nice surprise. Easy set up followed the instructions of quick set up. Breaks new to Espresso Machines and quickly learning it takes practice to find just the right one for each individual. I love the Breville. Cleans easy, the learning curve in terms of machine use is short. It is user friendly, but you can tell this is no run of the mill machine. It looks and operates like those you find in your favorite coffee shops. Excited to keep trying to come up with my perfect cup.

  30. Olga Bezgodov

    I love it, it works great. I was making coffee for everyone and they loved it Im not a big fan of coffee but as long as they like it:)
    Fun to make too just took time to figure it out

  31. Debbie

    We purchased one of these previously to take on long rides with our e-bikes. We’ve only had to use it once but it did great. The size is very convenient and would be very helpful for camping, carrying one in your car plus for little unexpected uses at home. This one is a gift for our son that does mountain biking. Be aware that it does get hot as the packaging warns when in use.

  32. Karen

    After doing a lot of research, I got this one for my husband as a birthday gift. The machine is stainless steel and very easy to clean and maintain. Its weight is heavy and very sturdy. The size is great for our countertop area, great water capacity with no leak issues. The only thing is that there is no water sensor to tell if the water is running low, so you do need to keep an eye out for that. But I don’t think it’s a big deal beaker at all. It makes great Expresso, Latte, and any kind of type you want ( generally ). We are satisfied with it!

    El Mi Band 8 es una Smart Band muy bella y elegante.

    Lamentablemente a mí no me duró más que 6 meses. Creo que fue mala suerte😭, ya que no encontré que fuera común esa falla.
    Solo se descargo por completo y al tratar de conectar el cargador solo aparece una “pila” en color rojo.

    Ya adquirí el MI Band 9.

  35. James

    Just used it once and it worked fine. It’s compact and fits almost anywhere in the car. Just a little hard tighting on the hose. Not too the tire but the metal thread on the machine itself. I had to use a grip cloth to tighten it and take off. That’s the only flaw,that’s why I gave it a 4 star.

  36. V. Rahn

    This is my second Breville. First one (BES860XL) was purchased around 2010 and was used daily except for when we were on vacation. The BES860XL is actually still going strong, but I could not pass up the price for black friday for the upgraded model. I will move my old model to my cabin in the mountains. As far as the 870XL, I can definitely tell the difference in taste. Much richer and fuller flavor. Hoo on this espresso machine, you will not regret.

  37. Sara

    This is an incredible product because it’s easy to use and conveniently sized. Its attractive design adds a touch of elegance to my kitchen. The quick heat-up time is impressive and the espresso flavor it delivers is simply superb. One of the best features is the milk frother – it works like a charm. And let’s not forget about the precise grind settings, which allow me to get my coffee just the way I like it. In short, it’s a fantastic espresso machine that’s worth every penny.

  39. Customer Reviewer

    I’ve had this machine for a year now and thought it was time to leave a review for others who are on the fence.
    Never one time have I had an issue with this machine.
    I put in beans and water. I get delicious espresso.
    I clean the bottom drawer and grounds every couple of days and I take the inside section out once a week and rinse it out.
    Before I purchased my machine I saw reviews where people talked about mold- I am going to say they probably were not cleaning their machine.
    I love this machine, and since I have chronic fatigue, it has been a game changer for me.
    I no longer use the milk frother- for me it wasn’t worth the effort. Now I just put my milk in the coffee cup along with the creamer and put those in the microwave to heat up and then make the double shot of espresso. Bam. Latte.

  40. Carant_

    Muy sensillo para su configuración y emparejamiento con un móvil.
    Una pantalla que responde bien al ‘touch’.
    Una batería duradera durante el uso.
    Lo único hay que tener cuidado de no mojarlo excesivamente para que no se estropee.
    Es producto bastante funcional y duradero si se cuida.

  41. Mustafa

    When you get used to the machine you will get better results. I enjoy making iced coffees every day!

  42. Lauren

    I got this machine when I got married in 2017 and it is now almost 2025! And to say I use it every day is an understatement! It has had to be sent in once for repairs in the first year that was covered under warranty, and I haven’t had an issue since. It’s by far my most favorite appliance I have ever owned! It makes coffee better than Starbucks at a fraction of the cost and will have everyone dubbing you their new barista. It’s worth every dollar!!

  43. Tray

    This was steal last year when it was also half-off. Makes the most delicious coffee, whatever type is your thing. Literally the press of a couple of buttons. I did have to return it and get a free replacement when the grinder broke during the warranty period- but they had it back to us in a week. This is coffee-life changing:)

  44. Laith Dwidari

    It’s a very cheap, useful watch also it’s original with now one scratch on the screen, if you need a watch without blowing the bank buy this, band display video games included with the watch which you can download from the watch’s application, I don’t recommend getting a screen protector as it’s screen is very durable.

  45. Donnika Groves

    This is so useful and looking for wonderful in my kitchen this helps with organization.

  46. Loic S.

    Very comfortable, does all it needs to do and has more functionalities than I expected seeing its price. Have had it for almost a year now, and it just survived a whole washing machine cycle of 4h at 60°.

    So, yeah. Great product if all you need to do is follow on your calories during exercises and follow up on your sleep quality (main reason I bought it).

    Still amazed by its resistance and resilience ^^

  47. Svnc

    I had some struggles at first use but after setting up the program options the machine did a great job, hope can use for long years.

  48. Sara D. Rankin

    I wanted to wait 6 months for this review!!!
    I wanted to use it a lot… and I have !! I use this every morning to make espresso and a latte, it is so good !! Easy to learn, cleans easy & works SO GREAT !!!
    I only wish I would have bought this sooner.

  49. Felipe Hernandez

    Bought this machine after reading the many reviews. Great taste and easy setup. Recommend this purchase for espresso and specialty coffee lovers.

    If you’re looking for a spice organizer that’s functional, stylish, and compact enough to live on your kitchen counter, this might be the one for you! Here’s a breakdown of the pros and cons to help you decide if it fits your needs:

    Pros:

    Compact Design: Despite its functionality, this organizer doesn’t dominate your counter space. It’s thoughtfully sized to fit neatly without feeling overwhelming.
    Gorgeous Labels: The included spice labels are stunning, adding a touch of elegance to your setup. Plus, there are blank ones if you have unique blends or want to customize!
    Versatile Placement: It fits seamlessly into cabinets or pantries for those who prefer hidden storage.
    Lazy Susan Feature: The spinning mechanism makes finding your spices a breeze, even during a busy cooking session.
    Cons:

    Permanent Labels: Once applied, the labels are hard to remove. If you frequently switch spices, this could be a bit inconvenient.
    Bulky for Small Kitchens: While compact, it might feel bulky if your counter space is very limited.
    Pantry Accessibility: If you’re storing it in a pantry, make sure it’s at an easily reachable level, as its size might make retrieval awkward.
    Limited Color Options: More color choices would make this product even more appealing to match diverse kitchen aesthetics.
    Overall Impression:
    This spice organizer is a great blend of functionality and style, with thoughtful features like its spinning base and elegant labels. However, it’s best suited for those with moderate counter or pantry space. If you’re okay with a fixed labeling system and don’t mind the limited colors, this could be the perfect addition to your kitchen!

  52. nigelmanx

    this article converted me to being a true full blown coffee snob! short learning curve and must stress the use of freshly roasted coffee for proper extraction. the frequent use and success of use makes me forget about the initial expense. highly recommended.

  53. Johnny Shunnarah

    Do not dislike anything, the quality is great, well made stainless steal, the taste of the coffee is outstanding far better than your average coffee, the coffee temperature is Perfect but you can adjust the temperature depending on how hot you want it, this expresso machine has a The pressure gauge so it is always best to watch this to make sure your brewing pressure if just right. This is really easy to operate nothing hard about this. If you are beginner watch videos to learn. This is by far the best I have ever owned. And will not be buying other brands but this Breville

  54. Sofía

    Lo tengo en mi negocio, la extracción es muy buena y el molino trabaja bien, recomendado utilizar café de buena calidad para mantener la vida útil de la máquina. Todo súper bien y fácil de utilizar

  55. Jrco

    A bit of a learning curve but not that hard. Makes great espresso. Easy to clean. Highly recommend.

  56. Todo muy bien, gracias

    Para ser un equipo tan compacto es muy completo en configuración, tiene buena programación y viene muy bien equipado. Y el precio muy bajo

  57. John V. Lord

    Easy to charge, easy to operate. Inflated a low tire in about 10 minutes. You want faster? Go pay $2 at the gas station. This inflator lives in the glove compartment.

  58. Glen Carson

    This small pump, about the size of a soda can, charges in a few hours via USB and easily connects to auto tires, bicycle tires, and basketballs. Much easier to use than the older styles that required plugging into the lighter port and stringing the cord through the car to reach all 4 tires. The newer model in cordless. The only drawback is it’s inflation time is slow. It took about 10 minutes to inflate a car tire from 24psi to 32 psi, but it’s finally, fully inflated everything I’ve tried so far Bicycle tires and balls went much faster. Overall, I’d buy this again, likely for friends and family who have the older style pump as gifts.

  59. airman56

    this thing is amazing. works really well so far and its so handy. no more lugging my air compressor around.

  60. jami platz

    I got this because of the pedometer feature. But I really enjoy it for the heart rate monitor I’m exercising and sleep tracking features. I found the steps to be highly accurate and it’s pretty comfortable to wear great value for the money.!

  61. Olibia Lugo

    I bought this machine for my boyfriend and he absolutely loves it! It’s easy to use and makes espresso better than a coffee shop! I love that it has everything you need including a coffee bean grinder.

  62. Worked well good quality

    We love this machine, our mornings have really improved it makes a great cup to start your day.

  63. sweaver

    This product is perfect for coffee lovers. Its sleek design and easy-to-clean parts make it user-friendly. Features like the milk frother, quick heating, large water tank, and built-in grinder simplify brewing. The adjustable grind size allows for customized espressos. Its durable construction is impressive, having lasted 10 years with daily use. It’s cost-effective and consistently delivers high-quality espresso.

  64. Aliia

    Great coffee machine! Easy to use, heats up quickly, and makes excellent coffee – from espresso to cappuccino with perfect froth. The customizable settings let you adjust strength and temperature to your preference. Compact and stylish – a perfect choice for coffee lovers!

  65. YUNUSEMRE

  66. Agnes Shep

    I absolutely love the PHILIPS 3200 Series Fully Automatic Coffee Machine! I use it daily, and it’s made my mornings so much better. The coffee is consistently delicious, and I love how easy it is to customize the strength and temperature. It’s quick, convenient, and has made me feel like a barista at home. Highly recommend for anyone who drinks coffee regularly!

  67. Javier R

    Excelente, todo se siente muy bien hecho y funciona a la perfección. No más excusa para no cocinar en casa.

    This was an upgrade. Easy to use. So glad I invested and chose this machine. It’s perfect!

  69. h silvia

    bought this for my wife like 2 xmases ago…still works like the day i bought it.great lattes.a bit pricey,but it was no doubt worth it.clean it occasionally and you’ll be fine.i recommend this one.you wont be sorry if your really into making your own coffee concotions.

  70. Bengt Mellgren

    Allt och till priset fantastik prestanda. 95 % billigare än dyrare märkesklockor men gör nästan samma jobb. Tydlig o vattentät. MEN byt bandet då det som följer med lätt går upp och du tappar klockan.

  71. Paolo

    I bought this helpful little gadget in 2023 and it has worked very well on my bike and car tires. After a year and half the Air tube because of treads wear, would no longer fasten to the tire valve.
    I contacted Woowind and asked them if I could buy a replacement hose and they just sent me a new complete set of accessories, no charge.
    I’m very pleased with their product and service.

    Coming over from FitBit as many others. I was just looking for something different. This tracker simply blows my FitBit out the water. Loaded with tons more features & the fact you can customize the look of the watch is great. Tracks sleep, heart rate, blood oxygen, stress & vitality. It even has an option to track your movements while fishing which is great. Haven’t had no issues with connection to my iPhone. Some of the things on the app I wish could be changed dealing with measuring & weight

  74. Carrol Roberts-Roesling

    Don’t let the price scare you. I wish I would have bought this years ago! FINALLY, espresso and lattes that are just and strong and good as Starbucks and Peet’s Coffee. I have not spent $6-$8 on a drive-thru coffee since I bought this. Pinterest has tons of recipes for Pumpkins Spice creamer and everything else too. Just do it!

  75. Ashley

    I love this spice rack! I got it last Christmas and I use it every day! Hold all my spices! Definitely worth the money! It looks great in my kitchen! 10/10 would recommend!!

  76. Léa GVN

    Cette montre connectée offre un excellent rapport qualité-prix ! Honnêtement, difficile de trouver mieux à ce tarif. Je l’utilise depuis 4 mois en pratiquant régulièrement la natation, le footing et la randonnée (4 à 5 fois par semaine), et elle est assez fiable pour un modèle à ce prix. Le suivi des pas et des activités sportives est précis, et l’application qui l’accompagne est bien conçue. Je l’ai d’ailleurs offerte à ma mère, et nous adorons la fonction de compétition pour nous motiver ensemble.

  77. SSC

    I was going to Starbucks almost daily. The coffee from this coffee maker is divine. I etimate that it will pay for itself in about 3 months. Thrilled with the purchase.

  78. Derek A Siewert

    Breville is one company that brings out an appliance and then just keeps improving it. I bought my first Barista Express in 2017. I make at least 2 espresso drinks per day and my old unit finally died. I thought it would be silly to repair and after looking at their new and “upgraded” units I am so glad I decided to buy the Barista Express again. Granted it takes some work in getting it dialed in, but if you make the same type of drinks daily, (Me double espresso and latte) this is the way to go. The crema is incredible and the speed at which the milk gets done is remarkably fast. This unit is much quieter than my first and the speed at which milk comes up to temp is 60-80% faster than the original. I highly recommend this. Don’t waste your money on touch screens and fancy tampers. This is a workhorse and amazing unit.

  79. RAK

    Good to have in the trunk and ready to use if needed. Inflates my tires quick and easy to the right pressure.

    以前はアップルウォッチ使用してたのですが画面割れて操作不能になったのでこれを機に購入。自分は睡眠の質、心拍数、ワークアウト分かればよかったし値段もかなり安いので。買って大正解。まずバッテリーの持ちが凄い。1週間なんて当たり前。アップルウォッチは使い方によっては1日もたなかったです。ただアップルウォッチは機能はかなり充実してました。しかし自分は老眼になってきたので画面小さいと見えづらかったです。
    あと軽いです。自分アップルウォッチ時々睡眠中装着時重く感じる時がありましたがこれは全くありません。スマートリング購入考えたくらいです。余計な出費せずに済みました。

    I purchased my original Breville in 2015 and about 2 weeks after the warranty expired, there was some sort of electronic issue. When I contacted Breville, they said they would honor the warranty and had me ship it to them and then shipped it back to me to my new home in Texas. It ended up that the reason for the issue was caused by my lack of descaling the machine when I ran it through the cleaning process. About a week ago, my original 9 year old machine finally had a major malfunction. Because of the great way the original machine worked and was consistent day in and day out, I made the easy decision to purchase the exact same model and only paid about $50 more than I paid in 2015. This new machine has seen a few minor upgrades but otherwise operates the exact same machine and once started, it was like I was using the same machine. I love it and recommend it. I am a very particular coffee drinker and this machine meets or exceeds my expectations.

  82. Arda Semerci

    Verdiğiniz parayı göz önünde bulunfurunca, yaptığı şeyler muhteşem geliyor. Batarya günlerce gidiyor. Unutmayın, o çok pahalı saatler her gün şarj gerektiriyor ama bunun öyle bir sıkıntısı yok.

    I purchased this product in December 2023. I used this on the tires of my F250, my husband’s Prius, our bike tires and even on a truck boot. I loved the size and the storage bag – it was always available in my truck.
    I took it out recently and the light wouldn’t work. It got pushed into the unit and I couldn’t pull it back out or turn the light on. I contacted the manufacturer and explained my issue. I sent them a short video and they immediately sent me a replacement unit. I couldn’t have been happier with the customer service they provided.
    I’ve recommended this product to several of my friends and family and would certainly recommend it to anyone.

  84. Tami Matuska

    Took 3 hrs, 4 youtube videos, and 8 expresso shots to get it dialed in, but worth it! I did have to reset factory setting for internal grinder, but now my expresses are perfect. This is NOT the machine for someone who just wants to push a button and a latte happens.

  85. David Martin

    I used this to pump up my e-bike tires it works well keeps charge for about a 2 months once not used love it will do business again

    I love that I can have any coffee at any time I want. I don’t have to go to a coffee house to get a latte or cappuccino. I first started to use a coffee maker like this at my son’s house in June. I fell in love with it and as soon as I got home Prime day was here and I took advantage of it and got this baby for 200$ off. I got so lucky. We opened it up and turned it on and have not stopped using it since. I was even going to quit coffee before we bought this and now I can’t go for 12 hours without a latte or cappacino. It makes whatever you want and it is soooo good. I love it and I love the coffee that it makes. Great coffee maker that I would recommend every one to buy if you like latte’s or cappuccino’s. My hubby likes plain coffee and says it makes a great cup of plain coffee as well.

  87. Kaffeelvr

    I’ve had this espresso maker for 5 years now and use it daily. I buy German coffee brands, so I always have high quality, good tasting latte that beats any latte at the coffee shop. The only drawback is that the descaling process takes a bit of effort and time but it’s worth it. I use bottled water now and that helps not having to descale that often. The cleaning for the back cycle using a tablet is very easy and quick to do. I recommend this machine and I would buy it again.

  88. Deep Seabee

    This machine has everything we need in coffee. The ease of use on an everyday basis is amazing. Just press what your heart desires, and let it brew. We went from a messy operation of grinding, pressing and brewing our espresso, then the clean up; to a no mess, quick operation of a intimidating, but actually pretty simple machine that self cleans.

    After use we take the milk container off and put it in the refrigerator for use again later. We do shove a napkin plug in the outfall to help keep it clean and wash it at the end of the day.

    There is a series of ways this machine keeps itself sanitary. Due to this, you do have a catch bin to empty out. It does have a float that you can see that let’s you know it is becoming full.

    So far, we love this. It is everything my husband, resident coffee snob, wanted. What makes him happy, makes me happy.

    睡眠時間の計測が思っていたより正確にできています。バッテリー持ちも良いです。

  90. Kelsey

    Makes a perfect cup of coffee/latte! I love that it grinds the beans for each cup and that I can walk away while it makes it. Super easy to use and clean. It is loud but that hasn’t been a problem for me.

  91. Luis

    I purchased the LP1 pump from Woowind about a year ago. I’ve used it a lot — several times a week, right before going on a ride to make sure my bike tires are at the right pressure. The pump’s construction feels robust, the controls are easy to use. Never had a problem with it, but one day it stopped working. I can’t tell exactly what caused the problem (a friend of mine was using it at the time). I was on a trip and decided I didn’t want to carry the broken pump back –so I discarded it.
    When I came back I realized the pump had a 2 year warranty so I contacted support. They requested a video of the pump, but… oops! I’d thrown it away. I was able to describe the problem to the technician over e-mail and sure enough: they approved the replacement. I think this is a company trying to build a good product and do well by their customers.

  92. Andres Martin Bobbett

    Me gustó mucho, llegó muy rapido y funciona muy bien, facil de usar y el cafe sale riquisimo.

  93. Marce Z.

    Did I forget to write a review? Yes, but as a plus, you get a review after over 4000 cups of coffee.

    Some of the parts have started to rust, specifically the screws where the rubber feat are at the bottom, but that’s mostly my ineptitude in cleaning/maintaining it clean. Sometimes we brew 2, sometimes 10 or 15 cups a day, depending if there’s a party or not. And in 5 years, I’ve had zero failures, not a single leak, not a single problem at all.

    The durability of this machine is legendary and it shows, it’s been 5 years, and it still runs, grinds, and brews as if it was just purchased.
    I would 100% purchase the same model again as it’s incredibly reliable and it makes good coffee with practice and getting the grind right.

  94. R

    I bought this machine 4 years ago, telling myself I had to cut back on trips to the coffee shop. Wow. I really didn’t expect how quickly and completely I would shift my entire routine. I used to be at Starbucks 4-5 times a week. Now I only visit a coffee shop if it’s for a meeting or I’m on vacation. The amount of money I’ve saved in the last 4 years with this machine in my home is staggering.
    I used to work at Starbucks, so the manual aspects of the machine were no problem for me, and I enjoy having control over the grind. My only complaint about this machine is that you can’t steam milk at the same time as you pull shots, which basically rules out a perfect cappuccino. Solved that problem with the Breville Milk Frother.
    If you have any inclination toward making coffee at home, get this machine! It’s easy to use, easy to maintain, and it looks pretty on your kitchen counter. Cannot recommend highly enough!

  95. Alison

    Needed a tire pump for my stroller wheels. This is amazing! It charged very quickly with a USB-C charger. It is very compact. I forgot the manual this morning, but was able to quickly figure it out when I got to my destination. As you can see on the video the tires fill so fast when it is fully charged. It came with several different pins, but I can only speak to the classic knob. This is amazing! I am so glad to have it. It saves so much energy from doing the manual pump.

  96. Richard Rohling

    I use this for most of my inflammations because it is so easy to use. I use my large compressor for big jobs like very low vehicle tires.

  97. Tiffany

    I’ve had this for a few weeks and I am blown away. If you’re on the fence do it. Once you tune this just right your espresso will be perfect every time with just the right amount of crema and Starbucks level flavor. Perfecting the grind and the steamer on this will bring your barista abilities up to professional level. The only reason I go to Starbucks now is to resupply my espresso beans saving me about $120 per month. I had a Delonghi for years until it crapped out a year ago, but that was childs play compared with this.

  98. Esc-Fam

    first impression, Looks good the and functions well, used it a couple of times then the auto setting worked just fine, it’s way easier than handy when you need it just to do a quick pump up or to air up something.

  99. Aaron James

    To save some of you a bunch of reading, I’ll cut to the chase first: I knew nothing about making good espresso drinks before buying this machine, and after a year and a half I still use it everyday, and I absolutely love it.

    A bit of background. I grew tired of the daily trips to the cafe for an espresso, and doubly so with the cost. Drink plus tip was usually around 10 dollars a day, at least 5 days a week. I wanted to make my own, but I knew absolutely nothing about extracting espresso, the machines, or any of the science-y stuff behind it. I did a TON of research on machines, as there is a fairly wide variety of options for the consumer. I was initially put off by the cost of some of the upper tier machines, but after some digging, and learning, I found The Breville Barista Express (BBE) which seemed to be a well made machine, with great reviews, but still pretty expensive for a “coffee machine”. Of course, my perspective on that has changed considerably.

    Review!

    The machine is well made. I can say for sure that it’s durable, and probably built to last longer than the parts inside of it. Fairly heavy, but perhaps more just given its shape, and how the weight is distributed. I, personally, like the aesthetic of the machine in black, so I chose the black model. At first glance and a once over, you’ll notice that it’s not a cheaply made product, and already begin to feel better about the cost.

    The control panel was more user-friendly than I had initially thought. I absolutely believe they had the novice in mind when designing the interface. Although the controls are pretty straightforward, and explained in the user manual, some people learn processes better by seeing rather than reading, and I’m one of those people. If you are also, Breville produced a series of how-to-use videos on their youtube channel, and I also believe they are on Breville’s website as well. These videos are very to-the-point, and incredibly helpful learning the ins-and-outs of the various options on the machine. They absolutely give the end user plenty of support with regard to understanding how to use the machine. For people, like me, who knew nothing about espresso machines, it was nice SEEING the steps and process in real time.

    Customer Support is fantastic. After about 3 months of having it in the house, a large industrial staple found its way into the grinder. Presumably from a bag of beans. Tbh I’m not sure how it got in there. In any case, it messed up the grinder so bad that I had to send the machine into Breville for repair and service. I had called their number, and the CSR asked for some general details, and without any fuss, sent out return packaging, which I received in 2 days, I shipped it out the day I got the packaging, and my machine was returned to me, in working order, without cost, 7 days later.

    The machine isn’t without shortcomings, but in my novice opinion, they’re pretty minor.

    1. The water reservoir is pretty small.
    2. A second portafilter would be a terrific add. (bought a second on ebay)
    3. Drip tray doesn’t hold much.
    4. Steam/hot water knob design could use improvement with a bit of leverage. (3rd party options)
    5. Should come with a dosing cup that fits the portafilter (3rd party options)

    All in all, the machine is fantastic. I am by no means an expert, but my drinks are good enough to keep me from going to cafe everyday, and my wife also seems to enjoy them.

    One note for novices, this machine does simply the process, but there is still some required learning you will need to do in order to get the best results out of this machine. It isn’t hard, but will probably take you a half a bag of beans to really dial in, and get right.

    Cheers!

  100. May

    Very happy with this machine. Very easy to use. Couldn’t get a fresher cup of coffee! Thank you!

  101. Marc H

    Really easy to use. Make sure you push the pin/needle far enough into whatever ball you are inflating so that the pressure is read correctly. You don’t have to worry about that with a car/motorcycle/bicycle tire. Feels like good quality. It’s early but so far so good.

  102. さがわ

    非常に軽い、通知機能も問題なく使える
    バッテリーも長持ち、運動モードも多彩、
    そして安価と非常に良いと思います。
    またベルトの交換が時計裏のボタンを爪で押すだけで交換できるので
    工具も要らず簡単にできるのが嬉しいです。
    2個目の購入なのですが1つ目はプレゼント用として購入し
    評判が良かったので自分用も買ったのですが
    満足度高いです!

  103. Becky

    This air compressor has done well for filling and gauging where the tire pressure is on 10″ electric scooter tires. Even used it to fill up a small inflatable pool.

    It can be used multiple times before needing a recharge for what I use it for. Recharges easy and fast.

    This will get hot after continuous use. Easy to figure out what tire pressure is needed. Has presets for basketballs and more. It was worth getting and has enough power to do what I’ve done with it. Happy with how durable and well made it feels.

    Satisfied with this air compressor.

  104. Reese Murillo

    We had been talking about getting our own espresso machine for a long time and after a lot of research, we chose this one. It works amazingly and is beautiful. We are ver happy with our purchase.

  105. Matthew Gross

    My unit worked great but unfortunately failed. The company was prompt to address the problem and sent me a replacement unit immediately.

  106. Roger

    Love this for my bikes and scooter. Seems very slow at pumping a car tire. Maybe I’m not setting it properly. Still a great item.

  107. Marc Olevin

    What a great surprise how good this is! I’ve used both a Garmin and now replaced a Fitbit and this is superior, especially to the Fitbit, which could not be read in sunlight! This has everything I need/want and works flawlessly. The app may not be as sophisticated as FB but again is easy to use and works! I highly recommend. Thanks!

  108. Tedd

    I went from a cheap $100 espresso maker so this is a bit of an upgrade. I definitely taste the difference in quality and the built in grinder is convenient. It took a couple practice runs to get the right amount of beans/grind right for my favorite beans, but that’s part of the fun. The pressure gauge is maybe a bit over the top but it can help you learn how to pack a shot well/consistently.

    The only downsides I have so far is that occasionally the the beans get stuck in the grinder and I have to push them down and the water tray fills up relatively quickly from the hot water discharge.

    Overall, I can see why this is one of the most popular espresso makers on the market and I would definitely recommend it.

  109. Evan

    10/10 recommend for emergencies. It takes a while to fill up a car tire (not surprising given the compressor size), but has come in handy quite often for all applications. Definitely recommend!

  110. Mike

    Has all necessary functions of a smart watch: Notification, alarm, measurements of heart rate, sleeping, activity. It also shows the time which is a big plus. Most smart watches (also high end) do not have an always on display and are therefore basically useless for real world use as watch.
    The price is remarkable for the value. The product is waterproof, at least it did show any issue when I used it for swimming and diving in my pool (shallow, just 10 ft of depth).

  111. Bubbaj

    Simple to use, lightweight, auto shut off at desired psi, takes very little time to inflate tire, very durable

  112. Christy Swoger

    I bought the Philips 3200 LatteGo for my workplace because we just needed to up our coffee game. Mission accomplished! My coworkers and I love this thing. I am somewhat of a coffee snob and this machine does an excellent job making pretty much any type of coffee that I’m craving. The bean to cup feature means the coffee is always fresh. The milk steamer/frother attachment couldn’t be any easier to use and clean. I embellished our coffee supplies with a couple kinds of flavored syrups and everyone seems very happy. I love it so much I’m going to get one for my home.

  113. R. S. Lachance

    This is exactly what I needed instead of the old foot pump for both my bike and the occasional re-inflation of car tires. Just set it let it do it. Job charges quickly also . Very happy customer.

  114. S

    I love the machine, it’s easy to use in principle, although i haven’t been able to pull the perfect shot yet, but it’s only been a few weeks. the machine is beautiful and high quality. it’s been fun to experiment

  115. Sherlonda

    This small gadge works like a charm very easy to use. The cord is alttle to short making it kind of hard to keep it in place.
    I think the price is well worth the money. It did get heated up but not to hot where it tuned the system off. To inflat it to 31 psi from 17 psi was about 5 minutes if 5 so the speed was nice. The noise to loud.

  116. JohnMB

    Espresso and Cappuccinos Tast just like I remember at the Coffee Bars in Rome. doesn’t get any better

  117. Jeremy Whitaker

    I’ve had people have bikes that they were going to walk 3 miles twice to air up both bikes. They were in a homeless shelter and didn’t have a simple bike pump. This thing has been a God send for so many people. I’ve come across someone with a flat tire once who just needed to air the thing up to get to somewhere to put some tire sealant in it. They were going to spend 120$ to tow their car and I saved them a ton of money. I’ve needed to air up multiple bikes I got and this thing did the job. I was able to air up 4 bikes once, 8 tires in all, all of them perfectly flat before this thing ran out of juice. Now that is impressive.

  118. CleanChaoticLiving

    My husband loves This super easy to use machine for his morning coffee. He uses illy whole bean coffee and loves the machine for parties for after dinner cappuccinos

  119. Eliza Jane

    I am really happy with this band. It charges very fast, and it works great. I owned the version 4 previously, and this has a lot more bells and whistles that I enjoy.
    As a Deaf person, I love that it has a vibrating alarm that wakes me up out of a sound sleep. Very helpful.
    I expect I will be using this for years.

  120. H. Dehne

    Der Kauf hat sich gelohnt. Alleine das dauerhafte Display erleichtert mir das Leben ungemein. Das schöne daran ist, dass es nicht 100% angezeigt wird, sondern nur die Uhrzeit. Will ich alle Daten sehen, kann ich wie früher eine Bewegung machen oder drüber wischen, d.h. jetzt drauf tippen.
    Nachts geht das Display dann ganz aus und spart damit wertvollen Akku. Es gibt auch genügend Watchfaces zur Auswahl, ohne dass man eine zusätzliche App installieren muss. Sehr gut finde ich auch, dass man nun die Bänder schnell mit einem Klick wechseln kann. OK, es sind zwei Klicks für jede Seite einer. Das neue Band rastet dann durch Einstecken selbständig ein. Ich habe mir zum Testen schon verschiedene Bänder besorgt. Interessant finde ich das Mailänder Metallarmband mit dem Magnetverschluss, weil es sich schnell und stufenlos anpassen lässt und trotzdem zuverlässig hält. Die Uhr wird leider nicht mehr von der gewohnten App Zepp Life unterstützt. Für dieses Band muss man die neue App Mi Fitness installieren und sich etwas umgewöhnen. Sowas ist natürlich ärgerlich und ich hoffe, dass das in Zukunft nicht nochmal passiert und sich die Umstellung jetzt lohnt. Auf den Bildern sieht man den Displayzustand 1) Dauer An und 2) Volles Display. Nachts ist es dann ganz Aus.

  121. Victor Ml. Guareño

    Excelente producto, un smartwatch para tenerlo siempre puesto, a prueba de agua, la carga te dura mas de 1 dia de uso, excelente porque te llegan notificaciones del telefono y puedes analizar el pulso del corazon, es un gadget muy util si no te gusta tener un watch mas grande en tiempo completo.

    100% Recomendado.

  122. Placeholder

    Set the inside bur at 3 and outside at 6. Meter in the middle every time. Making perfect espressos. I am very happy. Had it over a month using it a couple times a day every day all perfect so far! Yes I did watch many utubes on what to set it on. I am ecstatic with this product. I pour bottled water into the tank instead of taking it out which is a step easier for me. The frother is fantastic. Yes I would buy this again but hopefully it will last me a long time. Seems it will. The quality is great.

  123. MacG

    I could not wait for the arrival of this coffee maker! Had a cup of coffee at my friend’s home and just had to have this coffee maker/grinder for myself! Having a fresh ground & brewed cup each time with a variety of choices is the only way to go…a personal barista!!!

  124. bernard m.

    It is easy to operate and easy to maintain. We use it several times every day. Just make sure it has water and coffee beans and the pull out tray and compartment with the used coffee grounds is emptied out when full. You can experiment with different settings and coffee drinks. My personal favorite is a regular coffee with a cappuccino on top.

    The actual set up is well explained and there are also several videos available.

  125. SK-CO

    We’ve had this machine for just over 6 months and love it. It is perfect for our household which we probably make close to 6 cups a day. We’re no coffee connoisseur’s but wanted something that could make better tasting coffee vs drip. We primarily use the coffee, americano and espresso functions. My wife occasionally enjoys the latte go as well which works great. I was concerned(based on some reviews) that the machine would be messy and hard to clean but we haven’t experienced any issues. I would absolutely recommend this and I think it’s a great bang for your buck option!

  126. R. Bensing

    Has labels for all the spices I need, good-size bottles, solid cap. I thought I’d have to spoon the spices out, but it’s got a piece that allows you to sprinkle them on.

  127. James Chick

    Bought for my wife after her Fitbit display stopped working. Took her a couple of days to get used to it. She loves the battery life and the fact that it can do loads more on the band itself without needing the app. Loves the fact she gets calendar alerts and call alerts from her phone on the band. Happy days and incredible value for money.. Waterproof also

  128. Nice and simple

    It’s a perfect watch and health tracker for the price. If you’re looking for something to track your activity and sleep, then I would strongly recommend this. They even have an alarm on the watch that buzzes and that has saved me from being late to school when I forgot to set my alarm on the phone. They also have a flashlight option that brightens the watch screen, and a camera option so with your phone, it gives you a 3 second countdown and it’s very useful.

  129. Kathryn Best

    My husband and I love these bands. I’m so impressed. I did not expect it to look so cool, feel so comfortable, or have so many features for only $42.

    I think the app is fine. Nothing special. Just as good as FitBit in my opinion minus the more detailed sleep tracker.

    So far I feel like the step counter and heart rate are pretty accurate. And I can even read my text messages on it.

    I just expected so little from this and got so much. Would buy again even if it only lasted a year.

  130. Buy A Lot

    Powerfull pump, I ride with it on my back pocket and do not feel it, good quality and powerfull

  131. Toddd L. Tomlinson

    I’ve had various espresso machines over the past 36 years, some of them worked well, some did not. I’m pleased to say that our new Breville is absolutely the best machine I’ve had. It was easy to set up and following several youtube videos on how to dial it in helped me quickly get to the right grind to draw the perfect espresso – not sour, not bitter, just ahhhhh wonderful. And it looks beautiful on our countertop! At first I was a little hesitant to spend $600 on a new machine but realizing that we’re spending $350 a month from our daily trips to the local coffee shop, it became an economic decision, buy this and within 7 weeks we’ll be ahead of the game. I was also a little worried about spending that much and not being able to create a drinkable beverage – that turned out to not be an issue at all and in fact the taste is better than our local coffee shops. Great investment, so nice to be able to not have to jump in the car to drive to the coffee shop only to have the coffee luke warm by the time we get home. Great buy.

  132. cplyem

    Having never made Espresso before, nor having used an Espresso maker, I did a lot of research into the best maker I could find for a reasonable cost before purchasing. I watched videos of people who have owned this machine for several years, and by and large they were positive. I decided to go for it. Having used it for a while now, I’m impressed with the quality of the resultant coffee drink, the ease of steaming the milk, and the quality of the whole bean grind. The machine is heavy. It’s all metal, except for some components like the water drip tray, grind funnel etc. The water tank is the width of the machine and large enough to make many cups (including steaming the milk) before being refilled. The learning curve for just using it to make some espresso is pretty easy. Some people have complained one cannot make a cup and steam milk at the same time, but for me it’s not a problem. I do the milk first, then the coffee. So for a beginner, it’s a great investment, but for someone who really enjoys the whole process of finding that perfect cup, there’s plenty of options to play with. How fine the bean grind is, how much to dispense into the funnel, even adjustments of the grinder blade itself are adjustable. Your desired setting can even be saved for one-button recall. The machine is ready to be used from being turned off in about 30 seconds. Steaming (in the provided little pitcher) takes upwards of a minute depeiding on what you like, and actually making the coffee is about 10-15 seconds. So a session to make two cups for my wife and I (including cleaning) takes maybe 10 minutes. But for me, being able to experience a Cortado like we had in Spain that 10 minutes is well worth spending!

  133. R. Shorey

    This unit is well made but the image can be deceptive. You might think it is oval or pocket size but it is not — it like the size of a stubby round flashlight — not as round as the bike drink container but might as well be as it would be easier to carry in the drink holder — too big to carry in a back shirtpocket and too small to put in the drink holder. Nice LED charge status, etc but really is not a convenient road bicycle pump — they should show a top view image so you know before buying this is a rather large unit —

  134. Kaejauny Tufts

    I cannot overstate how much I absolutely LOVE this machine. I’ve had it roughly 3 weeks now and I use it 2-3x a day. It is simply a dream. I bought flavored syrups and I have been a coffee making fool! I’ve made both hot and iced coffees and I’m so so SO happy I made this purchase! I have wanted something like this for quite a while.
    The maintenance is a breeze! Everything is easily rinsed or washed by hand. I have yet to put anything in the dishwasher and likely never will just because that kind of intense heat can warp even heavy duty plastic over time. Not to mention, it takes me 5 mins to rinse and wash all of the components so why would I wait for a 2hr dishwasher cycle to finish??
    Adjusting the grinder down to the finest level was easy, only took a few brews. If you are at all nervous about this purchase, I suggest a YouTube deep dive. That is what I did, and I was aware of every pro and con people have had and was able to decide it was the machine for me.
    I will say, if you are suuuuuper particular about your coffee/foam then this is not for you. This is for the person who loves yummy coffee and is tired of paying coffee shop prices. I personally use coconut milk in the frother and it works wonderfully. I have also tried oatmilk and regular milk. All work about the same. Warm/room temp milk will of course froth more. I saw a few people mention that the beans have to be a particular “non-waxy” brand so maybe do your research on what to buy there.

    If for some ungodly reason things go pear shaped, I’ll update this review.

  135. Dave G

    I really like how convenient this unit is to use. The biggest issue I had was finding whole beans to grind. Seems like stores sell mostly ground coffee. It brews quickly and you get the feeling that you have walked in to a high-end car dealership or one of the airline club lounges. I’m glad I bought this Philips machine.

  136. Cameron

    I bought this for my wife’s birthday and it’s been excellent so far. For anyone having issues with pressure I’ll admit that it took me some time to get the machine dialed in.

    I personally needed to remove the hopper and adjust the conical burr down to “3”. It comes at a factory default of “6”. I use the grind size of 8 on the left side of the machine, and now I’m getting excellent results consistently. For reference I’m using a variety of beans but have mostly used brands that can be purchased at major stores like Walmart (Peet’s, LaVazza, etc). Low pressure seems to be a consistent “problem” that people have, but if you just continue to increase the fineness of the grind, and check what your coffee level is at after tamping you should be able to get a good 25-30s pull with the right pressure.

  137. Nancy

    This is so easy to learn to use and put the beans in and oh my goodness the coffee is as good as Starbucks.

  138. Dana Betchek

    I love this machine. Once you get the set up down it’s very user friendly. The coffee tastes so fresh. I’ve mastered my drink at home and will be saving a lot of money by not going to the coffee shop.

  139. Genevieve Matte

    Took a long time looking at replacing my dead (12 years) DeLongi Magnifica machine while still using a 20+ years old SEACO (still works like new) expresso machine! Getting lasy in the morning so wanted an All-in-one solution…. Must admit this unit perform as expected but holds a few annoying features… 1-) Grit removal is based on # of cups poured and not driven by a sensor… So, as I normally clean it after every use (4-6 cups), unit trigger the CLEAN light afetr about 10 cups no matter what so…. annoying after 1-2 cups…
    2-) Also use much more water than my previous DeLongi as it seem to clean up the brewing unit with a fair amount of water after every brew. So waste platter is filling up quite fast!
    3-) Also bought several replacement filters but not too sure IL keep using these as these are triggering the thank “empty” switch while 2 inches of water still in the tank… Also got this “Clean” blue light coming up for no apparent reason and again using 1 cup of water to turn it off! Will try figuring out what is this feature! Besides, so far looking good for the price! Will comment later while figuring out all the features!
    4-) Would have preferred a unit pouring the milk as a last operation but not sure about other brands!!!!

    This machine is truly amazing and makes everything so simple for you down to the bean grinding. Makes amazing espresso. 100% recommend

  141. Scott Buhrer

    I love the iced coffee. I add sugar-free Sweet Italian Creamer and I get a better tasting coffee beverage than any of the canned coffee drinks at a fraction of the calories and a fraction of the cost. My wife loves the espresso drinks.

    Bought this machine during prime days and got a really good price on it. As a coffee lover I have tried many many different machines in my life. I’ll have to say this one is my favorite. It is very simple to use, and makes a consistently good product every time. The video is a Latte being made but I also use it for Americano, Coffee and espresso. I have been extremely happy with all of them. The machine does require regular maintenance and care to keep it at peak performance l. but it’s pretty simple and easy to do.overall I would ra this machine a 10 of 10. I’ll update this review after a few months of using it if there are any problems.

    I have purchased this watch like 3 months ago and it was the beat purchase I have made so far!! This watch is packed full of new features that the previous model did not have! Not to mention this watch is incredibly accurate, for the $45 price tag!!! I was thinking about buying a Fitbit because I have been a Fitbit user for years now and my previous Fitbit wore out and I was on the hunt for another smartwatch! When I ran into this one it was like heaven struck the Earth! Really recommend it! It has a lot of useful features such as, Sp02 blood oxygen tracking, heart rate monitor, over 160 different exercise modes, sleep tracker, and so much more! Would highly recommend to anyone who is on a budget and looking for something to fit their budget spending needs.

    Je suis enchanté par cette montre connectée, surtout compte tenu de son prix très abordable! Elle offre toutes les fonctionnalités dont j’ai besoin : suivi des activités, surveillance du sommeil, notifications de messages et appels, et même le contrôle de la musique. L’interface est intuitive et facile à utiliser, et l’écran est clair et lumineux.

    La batterie tient plusieurs jours sans problème, ce qui est vraiment pratique. Le design est élégant et confortable à porter, même toute la journée. Elle se synchronise parfaitement avec mon iPhone (aussi testée sur Android sans soucis), et l’application associée est bien conçue.

    Pour une montre connectée à ce prix, je suis agréablement surpris par sa qualité. C’est un excellent choix pour ceux qui veulent une montre connectée sans se ruiner. Je la recommande vivement!

  145. Rebecca Dengler

    I ordered 2 and one arrived with broken jars. It was easy to return and another was shipped quickly. It arrived intact. It’s perfect for my cabinet and my spices are organized. Some of the preprinted labels were useless. Who would put cereal, bread crumbs, chips, pancake mix, etc in jars that small? Overall I’m happy.

  147. Grady Baby

    What can I say? I wonderful machine. This was everything I wanted plus. Feels very professionally built lotta moving parts, but not difficult to learn it understand how to use. This unit would be made different from everybody. You can find tune the grinding size also how much coffee bean that you use at one particular time it has two settings, single, and double this is on the grinding side and making the coffee. You have a hot water steamer you have a milk, warmer cleaning, and a program button. The top of the unit is also a warmer. Lastly, it comes with a plastic piece that hooks up to the arm so when you fill the coffee doesn’t have to worry about spilling before you pack it down with the pack.

  148. Kindle Customer

    Thing has been a game changer for us for over a year. Cleaning is literally just taking parts out and rinsing. Many components are dishwasher safe. READ THE MANUAL BEFORE USING AND USE THE RIGHT TYPE OF COFFEE BEANS AND YOU WILL BE FINE.

  149. Emy

    I’m a huge coffee lover, and I recently purchased the Philips 3200 Series Fully Automatic Espresso Machine. I’ve been using it for a few weeks now, and I’m really impressed with its performance and ease of use.

    This machine makes delicious coffee drinks, from strong espresso to creamy lattes. The built-in grinder ensures fresh grounds for every cup, and the adjustable settings allow you to customize the strength and flavor to your liking. I was particularly impressed with the quality of the espresso – it’s bold and flavorful, without any bitterness.

    The Philips 3200 is incredibly user-friendly. The intuitive touchscreen interface makes it easy to select your desired drink and adjust the settings. The machine also does a great job of automatically cleaning itself, which saves me a lot of time and effort.

  150. Dave P.

    The global version of this watch only displays weight, distance and height measurements in METRIC. It can not be set to display in imperial (US) measurements like my band 6 did. Returning.

  151. TheyDoReviews

    I’ve had this product for about 4 years now and I’ve used it just about every day to pull 4 shots for me and 4 shots for my wife. I really can’t recommend a better espresso machine if you’re just starting out.

    It comes with a burr grinder that’s easy to adjust to different settings.

    It has a steam wand to froth up your milk and comes with a stainless steel cup for your milk

    Pros:
    Easy to use
    Easy to clean
    Great price point (I’ve seen fancy ones at $5k+ >:(
    Comes with just about everything you would need to pull a great espresso shot

    Cons:
    Takes a little long to heat up (about 15mins)
    Steam wand is alright but can take a bit to froth your milk

    Tips for beginners:
    If you’ve never had a espresso machine first, best thing I can say is be patient at first, you will be rewarded.
    Look into freshly roasted coffee
    Check out the accessories before you buy, here are some I highly recommend
    – Large Knock Box
    – Self release tamper
    – WDT tools

  152. Robert

    First off I have to say after watching YouTube videos we were finally able to work our coffee maker. We were very upset that the instructions were just icons and pictures and there was no wording whatsoever and also with that the picture had the smallest item in there to where I had to get a magnifying glass just to read it. My only recommendation is they do the instructions that have words so you can match it with the picture and understand it a lot better.

  153. Sumankrotet

    I love this item. It is one of my best purchases I have ever made.
    I bought it to put air in my bicycle tires instead of going to the gas station. I kept it in my car just in case. I am so glad I did. I was traveling from Texas to South Carolina. When I reached Georgia my tire pressure indicator showed that my right rear was low. I pulled into the rest stop. And my tire was going flat. It was also raining. I used this pump to reinflat my tire. It took about three minutes. If I had to use my spare, I need to unpack all of the luggage in the back to get to the spare. Then go through the process of changing the tire. Then repacking the car. That would have taken me more than 2 hours. Plus doing all of that in the rain. With a couple of pull overs to reinflat the tire I was able to make it to the next town that had a Discount Tires store. Where they patched the tire (for free) and I was on my merry way again. If you don’t have one of these GET ONE. It’s worth it, in time and money. It’s small yet powerful and it fits in the glove box or center console.

  154. HC F

    Over the years, I have owned a number of espresso / coffee makers, some of them from some very well known and pricey brands. This espresso maker is very easy to program with on-the-fly adjustments for intensity, volume of water and amount of foam, makes all sorts of coffee drinks. One feature that is very clever is the design of the milk container for foam – extremely easy to clean, which cannot be said for many other machines!

  155. RayChelKay

    I traveled with this allll over Portugal and Spain on a cycling pilgrimage. It held battery well and inflated our e-bike tires every morning in minutes and lasted for days. I once attempted to inflate a car tire—not made for that—but it gave me a couple extra PSI. Only flaw is that the tube that nests inside fell out and they haven’t replaced it. I didn’t even get a response when I asked them how to purchase a replacement.. so now I have to buy again.

  156. K F.

    I purchased the Espresso machine in May of 2022. I use it multiple times every day. I have had to de-scale it once. I have never had a problem with it. So I can honestly say it is built to last and it is something that I enjoy using every day. I would recommend it in a heartbeat.

  157. Kimberly Hunt

    My husband and I had been searching for a compact and durable espresso machine that would make excellent coffee for a while now, and this is it. The machine heats up quick so we can have morning espresso shots. The taste of the free beans that came with it is actually the best we’ve found so far (need to order those again soon), and it is relatively easy to clean. We’ve had iced lattes, americanos and Vietnamese coconut coffees that all taste excellent. Should last us many years, definitely worth the investment!

  158. JW

    Spent 6 years as a bartending barista in an establishment that boasted a $65k espresso machine and honestly; that machine put out garbage water compared to the pulls out of this breville! Performance is consistent and strong for a countertop machine that fits under my cupboards – and while I thought ‘ugh I’ll probably use it twice and then never again…’ – I’m literally using it right now (6:55am) and have every day (sometimes 3 times a day) since the day it arrived.

    … btw; i … love-LOVE these reviews sayin stuff like “it’s so loud! My 7 kids wake up the second I turn it on!”… lolll; Like a technological miracle of a machine superheating water in 7 seconds for a stellar espresso or latte made with the almost commercial-power steam wand is gonna whisper like an angel in the morning, KAREN… maybe stick with your dunkin’ K cups and your preservative packed Starbucks abominations, MARY… and leave real espresso machines alone.

    This machine is a wonder. And if you don’t understand how to use it or what to expect; maybe don’t buy this – again, to those leaving the bad reviews regarding the very lite maintenance every three months?? Descaling and cleaning this beast is simple compared to commercial machines and their daily scrubbings … if you expect any appliance, especially this one to be maintenance free – don’t buy this because you don’t know what you’re doing and you don’t know that an ‘espresso machine’ won’t make you a venti Carmel crunch frappacinno with extra drizzle. Lol.

    In closing, thank you breville for the crazy work that went into creating your entire line and I worship my machine.

  159. Ulka

    Easy to use and easy to clean. Makes awesome espresso and the automatic milk frother is awesome. I like to make iced lattes with it too and it works, no problem. The only reason I didnt give 5 stars is because I wish it had the option just to froth milk by itself without actually making a full on cappucino.

  160. Trey

    This is definitely one of my favorite watches, it does everything I need, and the battery last almost a week usually.

  161. Grant

    This is my first espresso maker I ever bought now I did in the past have a Nespresso machine and it works really well, but I wanted to make my own real espresso so I did a lot of searching and reviews on YouTube and found this Breville espresso machine and right out of the box I dialed it in, and I was off to the races. It took a handful of tries to really get the grind and the shot that I wanted but now it works perfectly and I’m extremely happy with my purchase and with this product

  162. Nyx

    Works really well, amazing battery life, relatively accurate. I bought this to replace my broken fitbit charge 5, and so far this watch had a better battery life, more features, and comparable accuracy for a lower price. So far after almost two weeks of owning, I’m loving it!

  163. Ted R.

    Fills tires quickly screw on connection makes this product easy to use. small hand size and not overly heavy . love it! used it on our cars and bicycle’s tires

  164. S Whidden

    Light weight, carry on my E-bike, but use it to top off my RV tires. I was surprised at its capabilities! It is not as fast a large pump, but it get the job done! It works to 135 psi.

  165. Margaret

    Don’t get me wrong, it’s a great machine. For the price I wish I would have gone with something a little more automated. Once I got my setting how I like and learned to use it, it was a dream. It pulls a perfect espresso shot every time.

  166. BobaThrett

    Read the instructions before you use!! Fills up great and fast.it does heat up quite a bit. The battery could be a little better. But I did fill up a couple times before I had to charge. I recommend this product. I keep it in my locker at work and I bought one for my house.

  167. AyanMJ

    This is worth every penny the build quality was phenomenal. I was expecting a medium quality but it’s just high end quality battery life is also good. very happy with this purchase

  168. Scott W. Price

    Very nice, compact rechargeable air compressor that will fit in a backpack, glove box, bike bag, etc. This thing is perfect for bicycling as it is compact, works very well, features a nice and easy to see LED display, a bright led light for low light/night time and great battery life. It comes with a charging cord and a few attachments (Presta, Schrader, ball needle). Highly recommended!

  169. Raghad

    كل شيء عجبني فيها بس وصلتني باللغه الصينية ولكن هذي مو مشكلة كبيرة بالنسبة لي

  170. Margarita

    Great bang for your buck, I would not consider any other alternative given its excellent battery life and features. We own 4 of these.

  171. Rebecca Deal

    This bike pump has saved me a lot of exhausted arms from pumping up bike tires. My bike tires always seem to need air and this tool has saved me so much time and effort. It is about the length of half of my forearm and is pretty thick. Unless you have a basket or larger carrying tool on your bike, it can make it hard to be portable as you’re biking but can be easily stored in your home or a backpack. It only took about an hour to charge on the initial plug in and offers options for more than just a bike. It took less than a minute to blow up each tire. Really neat product!

  172. JARED B POOL

    As a coffee novice who loves lattes and espressos, the Philips Latte Go coffee maker has been a game-changer for me. No more juggling multiple tools – this all-in-one machine delivers delicious beverages quickly and effortlessly.

    While there was a slight learning curve to master all the options and cleaning processes, the overall experience has been delightful. It’s become a hit with my guests too; they unanimously prefer the fresh ground coffee it produces over my old drip coffee maker.

    If you’re looking for a convenient and versatile solution for enjoying cafe-quality beverages at home, the Philips Latte Go is definitely worth considering. Cheers to hassle-free coffee enjoyment!

  173. Jessica Nunez

    Great smart watch, it receives messages, take heart rate and all the basics functions that a smart watch should do. Long lasting battery, last time I charged it was two weeks ago. I’m happy with my purchase.

  174. scott Gregory 194

    For me and my fiances eleven year anniversary
    we decided to just buy a gift for each other that
    we both could use. We decided on this Breville
    It has not disappointed us at all . It makes the
    most amazing tasting coffee at home at a fraction
    of the cost . The stylish classy look just let’s you
    <now this product is built to last and we’ll worth
    the money . Having the added in frother / steam
    wand was a great feature. 1 like that I could throw
    out my coffee bean grinder beings there is one
    attached to this machine . I haven’t visited a coffee
    shop in the past 3 months when I used to go daily
    This machine pays for itself in the long run. I look
    forward to powering it on every morning . Cleaning
    it is simple and easy . The catch tray has a float
    that floats up to let you know when the tray is
    needing to be emptied . The machine wipes off
    easily with a warm rag if done right after each use
    while the machine is hot . The water pitcher for the
    maker is easy to access and fill up when needed

    I have been using Mi Bands since the beginning
    And coming from #6 to #8 was a nice jump. I do like the improvement in graphics and features.
    The battery life is shorter then It’s predecessors
    But it also has more features to use up battery. I like the way the strap attaches to the band thats to me is a huge improvement. I also bought the new wrap around screen protector that not only protects screen but the whole device. I do like the always on feature, long overdue. Ok now for what i don’t like and it’s a short list is the charging cable where it connects to the band. Its very unstable and can come disconnected very easy even with the magnet. You have to handle carefully or it will disconnect. I like the older disc charger magnet as it was very stable. Not sure what the developers were thinking when they designed the charger. That was the reason for 4* other then that IM happy with the upgrade.

  176. luis ramirez

    Ya había tenido antes la versión 5 y siempre me fue muy útil, pero ahora la versión 8 me ha encantado y funciona igual e incluso mejor sobre todo con temas de conectividad.

  177. J or K McEvoy

    I rate for the value. Good product at $40. I use it mainly for my presta valve bike tires. It will easily inflate two tires from zero to 100 psi on one charge. I turn it on before attaching it to the valve then remove while it’s still running to minimize air loss. I have used it to top off car tires also. The different modes are handy and you can manually set each to cut off at a certain psi. Draw backs are sometimes the power button changes the mode instead of switching off the power, and the rubber gasket can come out of the presta adapter but is easily put back with a small screwdriver. Also be aware that some presta valves are two pieces and unscrewing the hose can actually unscrew the top half of the valve. I have switched to one piece valves to eliminate this problem. It gets a little warm and is a bit noisy.

  178. Meg

    So I originally bought a Gevi and it straight up did not work right out of the box so I had to return it. Unfortunately I had an event within days so I shelled out the dough for this trusting it would be better given that it’s a Breville.

    First off, they had a quick start guide which was awesome and saved time, Most importantly, I needed a machine that could kick out 10 to 12 maybe 15 drinks in one sitting, this DID NOT DISAPPOINT! After counting the pucks this thing kicked out 20 drinks without a single glitch!! The crema was consistent and the microfoam was thick and creamy. The auto grind and shots for the double was always perfect consistency but I will say that the single shot took a bit of adjusting. Overall, this machine was a rockstar!

  179. bmwkathy

    My main Idea was not to go to Starbucks due to the prices and quality of their coffee. Well, the best decision I have ever made. This machine sometimes comes on sale, so I waited. I buy fairly expensive quality coffee cuz I mind what I put in my body. So the quality of the hot beverage is outstanding. the hot water is just enough to start consuming but not burn yourself. I make sure I follow the suggested guidelines for taking care of this awesome creation.

  180. Embrace the Journey

    The Breville Barista Express Espresso Machine BES870XL in Brushed Stainless Steel is a game-changer for any coffee enthusiast. This machine is a true powerhouse, allowing you to brew cafe-quality espresso right in the comfort of your home. The brushed stainless steel design adds a touch of elegance to any kitchen countertop.

    What sets this espresso machine apart is its user-friendly interface and built-in grinder, ensuring that you get freshly ground coffee beans for each cup. The precise extraction process results in rich, flavorful espresso with a perfect crema every time.

    Whether you’re a seasoned barista or a coffee novice, the Breville Barista Express makes it easy to create a variety of espresso-based drinks with customizable settings. Its durability and performance make it worth the investment for anyone serious about their coffee. I highly recommend this machine for coffee lovers looking to elevate their at-home brewing experience.

  181. Luechen

    This is such an awesome little fitness tracker. It dries quickly so I’m not afraid to get it wet and the battery life is amazing. The watch band is secure but if I lose it, it’s not expensive so it can be easily replaced.

  182. Cynthia Graham

    Used to keep spices on counter. So far I love it!! It doesn’t take up too much space and keeps everything conveniently within reach. It looks really nice!

  183. Yevgeniy Maltsev

    I use it for couple of days as I purchased and espresso range doesn’t move much. Do not enjoy the coffee I make. Followed all the instructions. How can I fix the problem?

  184. Jeanine Conway

    My husband and I love this machine!! Our son and daughter in law have one and we used it when visiting over the holidays! It is so easy to use!! The machine grinds the coffee and the Latte Go system will froth your milk as well!! So many variations of drinks to choose from!! We love our!!

  185. Gerald & Barbara Bergan

    I like that the pump has multiple presets which is convenient since I use it on bicycles with different inflation requirements and a riding mower. It inflates reasonably quickly and the auto-shutoff when it reaches the correct pressure is nice. I haven’t tried inflating a car tire with it. One thing to watch out for is accidentally changing the unit of measure. Setting it to 20 atmospheres would be very bad for your tire. It is small and portable, but if you’re wanting to take it with you bicycling you’ll want a backpack, or a carrier case on your bike as it’s too big/heavy for your pocket.

  186. nCLEWs

    If you have been sleeping on some more expensive watch gadgets like Apple Watch, this is a good testing device to see if you really need them. I am on of those, and now I have zero desire to buy an Apple Watch.

  187. Frank Edduar Sanchez Capellan

    La pulsera desde su caja se nota la calidad, tanto en construcción como en el empaquetado. Su pantalla al ser amoled, tiene muy buenos colores y con el brillo automático no tienes problemas en ambientes soleados. Su batería es muy buena, me ha durado como unos 15 dias aproximadamente con un uso intensivo. Quizás su medición no se compara mucho con un apple Whatch, pero por su precio está muy bien.
    También, el hecho de tener una variedad de pulseras intercambiables la hace muy versatil para todo tipo de ocasión. Muy buen producto al verdad

  188. David Becker

    My wife and I bought this machine about 2 years ago, and it has held up nicely over time. It’s proven to be a simple, reliable alternative to going out to buy coffees and lattes from coffee shops, which is perfect since we work from home pretty much all the time. We’ve got 3 adults in our house and on average drink 5-6 total cups per day, and we so far haven’t run into any major problems.

    One issue I had at first was that the coffee wasn’t as strong as I was used to (I tend to like it pretty strong), but it’s still good coffee. You can make drinks stronger by adjusting how fine the grounds are with a little knob in the bean compartment at top, but I didn’t start messing with this until very recently. You can only adjust in small increments while the grinder is active to avoid damaging it.

    This machine is good for guests who want to make and customize their own individual drinks, though there is a small learning curve for first-time users. Once they know how to use it, they often comment how cool it is, and some have said they’d like to get one too (if it weren’t so expensive).

    Maintenance is fairly simple: You have to change the water filter every few months, rinse the easily removable “brew group” every week or two, and apply grease to it every couple months. The only problem I had was reinstalling the brew group for the first time (there’s a little yellow switch on the side that needs to be in the right position). There was also one time we didn’t change the water filter while the replacement light was flashing (it gave us plenty of notice; we just procrastinated too much), so we had to buy a special descaling fluid to clean it out before we could use it again.

    Yes, the machine can get loud, but I haven’t met a coffee grinder or latte maker that was quiet. This machine’s noise level seems pretty standard to me.

    There are a few little tricks to using and maintaining the machine so that you can get the most out of it, but so do most machines like this. Overall, I’d say it’s very easy to use and makes good drinks. The price is a bit high, and you also have to consider the added costs of buying whole-bean coffee and replacement water filters. But convenience like this often comes at a price, right? I would say it was worth it for us.

  189. Justin Burth

    This product is very easy to use and maintain. I bought all of the cleaning and lubrication products before I read that it only has to be done like once a year based on how much coffee I drink. Otherwise all I need to do is a quick rinse each week. Love that it grinds the beans and pats it into the pucks and ejects the pucks automatically.

  190. Dave

    For inflating e-scooter tires this is pump has exceeded all expectations! There aren’t enough stars to express the level of satisfaction and delight I have for this product. The multiple presets, the multiple scales (psi, mpa, bar), the multiple displays (set pressure and pressure in tire), the battery charge status, the excellent slender Schrader twist-on connector with ultra-low pressure loss on removal, and the handy tuckaway pocket for the hose – all combine to make this a superior unit and a delight to use.

  191. gingeattack

    I scooter to a from work Monday thru Friday (~13mi/day), and this thing has been a life saver. I use it frequently to top off my tire pressures when needed. It’s quick, accurate, lightweight, and doesn’t take up a lot of space in my backpack. I have punctured my tires a couple of times on my commutes and this pump is quick enough to keep the tire inflated while I get back home safely. Highly recommended.

  192. helpful reviewer

    Great pump! Super lightweight and convenient for my bike, and quieter than I expected given some of the other reviews. Even used it to top up my car tires — that was a bit slow because it is just small and takes time to move that much air, but it got the job done. Highly recommend!

  193. Javier Vega

    I bought this machine because it makes an Amazing coffe, I saw this coffee maker in my office and a lot colleagues were using “not to gently” for more than a year and the machine never showed a problem. It’s a very reliable product

  194. Erika Phillips

    We absolutely love this machine. We wanted to replace a machine that used plastic pods and it was the best decision we ever made! This machine was easy to set up and use. We love it. Mostly we make coffee with it and the coffee tastes so much better than pod coffee. Freshly ground coffee every cup, every morning is amazing! The fact we no longer waste so much plastic or drink out of plastic is amazing! And storing pods was such a hassle! This machine was exactly what we wanted. I read reviews on similar machines and decided on this one and so far we have no complaints.

  195. Jennifer McCarthy

    I like the marble design, but most of all I like the angle and placement of the jars. They dont roll out or wobble, fit neat and snug. The labels are easily read. It spins easily and smoothly. I originally ordered one, but loved it so much, I bought a second to replace an outdated one. The cabinets are cleared out. I have what I need right at my fingertips.

  196. Patricia L. Tuff

    I loved this product. The only thing I would change is the black labels. You can’t write anything on them no matter what color you use or what type of pen/marker. If they are going to be black, perhaps you could include a white pen/marker that works on those labels.

  197. Matt

    I have used various coffee pod systems for years, and thought that they made great coffee until I got my Phillips 3400. This is coffee on a whole new level. Using fresh beans from my local Whole Foods market I get better coffee than you can buy from any chain coffee shop. I’ve been using mine for over 16 months without any problems. When and if this one ever wears out I will immediately be buying another one. Cannot recommend highly enough!

  198. Badkarot

    Mój pierwszy smart band i jestem pozytywnie zaskoczony. Najpierw sprawdził się podczas grypy do monitorowania saturacji i faz snu.
    Teraz używam go do trenowania i działa wspaniale. Bateria wytrzymuje około 5-6 dni.
    Przy tak niskiej cenie polecam każdemu

  199. JANET HARTMAN

    Matte finish black metal matches pulls and faucets beautifully. Easy swivel and compact size is perfect for my space. Bottles may be a bit smaller than store bought glass spices, but easy to refill.

  200. robwaysch

    I’ve been really happy so far with this little inflator. You have to go into it knowing that it is a small inflator and on larger items (car tires) it is going to take a while. I have inflated basketballs and soccer balls, bicycle tires, and topped off several car tires. I love that you can set and it leave it and it shuts itself off. So far so good…

  201. Lisa Marie

    I wanted something small for my bike, and in case of an emergency in my car. I saw this and it had good reviews, so I figured I’d try it. It was easy to use, speedy and compact, but powerful. I filled my bike tires up in about 3 minutes. I would highly recommend!

  202. Chair leg caps

    I love this espresso machine !! Now I can’t wait to get up and make my specialty coffee’s in the morning !! Easy to clean and amazing coffee every time!! Worth the price I paid !! No more frequent stops at Starbucks for expensive drinks!! Walk to the kitchen and make my own !!

  203. SoCo

    Seriously though, this little air compressor is fantastic! I bought an e scooter and the front tire was at 18psi out of the box. Back tire was 22psi. Fully charged, I was able to pump both tired up to 36psi within minutes (and I’m including the time to unscrew the caps and switch between tires, the actual time to air the tire was literally 20-30 seconds). After I was done, it only took about 25% of the total charge of the battery. Super convenient, gonna keep it in my car for emergencies.

  204. William Davis

    very nice looking, bottles hold a good amount, lables are nice but missing what I would call some “key” spices or herbs. Mine came in a damaged box. All of tha metal pieces that hold the bottles were bent. It was fairly easy to bend back to close to the right shapeas these a very thin metal. Be careful if you have to do this because the inside edges can be sharp. I did not cut myself but I can see how you could easily. Overall a good looking functional rack.

    The rubber hose and presta valve attachment appear to lose the o-ring very easily. Well, the little black ring that pops out must be VERY important to proper operation! After the ring popped out, the pump no longer pumps a tire up past 9 PSI and worst of all … it removes the valve stem from the tires causing all the air and sealant to spew out of the tires! Purchase a better quality pump! I thought I found a deal until I had to pay money for sealant and tubeless tire service again.

    Luckily, warranty kicked in and I received a new Presta valve set.

    We really like it !
    This machine is very simple to use (once you set it up as you want, meaning coffee flavor, I have to search/watch few good videos in internet)
    Cappuccino is super easy, tasty and creamy even with almond dairy/milk.
    Some reviews state that it is loud but in my opinion it is not.
    Very please so far.

    If you are an avid coffee drinker look no further. This espresso machine is a big upfront investment, but will save you a lot of money in the long run. If you are spending 6 dollars a day on a coffee from your local coffee shop that adds up to over $2000 a year! I have used other espresso machines and so far this one has been my favorite. It allows you to make multiple adjustments from the grid density to the length of pour time giving you just the right amount of play to make your perfect coffee. The only thing I wish I could change on this machine is the ability to foam milk while pouring your espresso shot, but I know Breville does offer other machines that can do both simultaneously.

  208. Tee and Ana

    I love this Breville expess for the ease of use. There are a lot of youtube videos online so you can hone in your technique till perfection. I used to go to the Starbuck everyday but once I owned this machine I haven’t been back since unless I’m traveling. Don’t cheap out on the beans cause the oily beans will clogged up your grinder and it’s very difficult to clean. I use the hand grinder instead which I think works better than the build-in grinder. Also the steam handle are too short and small make it difficult to turn with one hand so I added the after the market magnetic handle to elongate the old handle for the ease of use.

  209. Viacheslav Skorokhod

    I am very satisfied with this tracker, it performs all the functions that I need quite well. I like the fact that the fitness tracker does not run out of battery as fast as Apple Watch.

  210. David C

    Great product. So far it’s been used for inflating kids bike tires, basketballs, and my vehicle tires. Unit heats up a little when used to inflate car tires, but it takes a bit longer to inflate, so seems to make sense. Love the ability to preset inflation amount for practically anything. It’s very accurate. Recharges quickly and is very compact.

  211. Kingtutx

    I needed to correct all 4 SUV tires to the recommended level of 32PSI from 28 & 29PSI. I set the compressor to car mode and started it. Within 2 minutes for each tire, the pressure was corrected to the desired level and used less than 2 bars of battery charge for all 4 tires. The auto switch-off is an excellent feature which stops pressurizing when it reaches the desired level. Portability and quick charge is its best features.

  212. JL

    I have the NFC one and I got my mom the global for her birthday. I think it’s great for everything it does. Mine was half the price of this one since I ordered elsewhere because I didn’t have the time to wait for shipping. I definitely recommend this watch! Sometimes the weather goes in and out, that is my only complaint. I love all of the features it offers, I personally think what I paid for mine was a steal, this price here is pricey but worth it for the features it offers. I don’t like that I can’t use all of the older apps the 7 supporter but it is what it is

  213. Kenny J

    Using for spices. Like the rack, but did not receive a funnel. Appreciate the compact design, frees cabinet space while not taking up too much counter space.

  214. Cody

    I bought this watch 6 months ago and in that time it was one of my best purchases ever. Did everything I needed it to, and extremely useful at work. I loved the sleep tracking on it and it was very accurate it seems. Unfortunately the place where the strap connects to the watch is not the strongest, and it broke while at work. I was very sad that it broke as it was perfect for me. I don’t think I will be buying another as I will get a galaxy watch and a warranty, but I recommend this watch still if you aren’t beating on it all of the time. 6 months of beating is pretty good tho for that plastic!

  215. Kron0_0

    For me having this is a necessity. I do longish bike rides of 50 miles or more on the weekend and sometimes there’s people that had a blow out. It feels nice being able to help people who are less prepared than me. It has different attachments for different valves. So it’ll cover you with a Schrader or a presta. Get some patches to go along with it and a standard setof tools to remove tubes from tires and someday you’ll be someone’s hero.

  216. Karen S

    This was a perfect gift item that I bought for multiple people and It was a hit with them! A compact item containing all the most necessary parts that all fit in one little bag. It worked so well that I had to have one for myself just in case of emergency needs. Since then, I did have a need to use it, and it worked great! I was glad I had this portable inflator handy when my tire ran low. It easily got me back on the road again : )

  217. Marc Ridey

    I’ve purchased the device to keep pressure in my Tesla tires. They require 42psi, more than the average car. The device works fine but over-inflates a bit (44psi then asked for 42psi). I had a tire leak and the battery was enough to bring it from 34psi to 42psi and adjust the other tires before going flat. I’m not sure it would have enough battery to inflate a tire from a complete flat state. It takes USB-C to charge and the Tesla has a USB-C socket so I can recharge it in the car. Overall I’m happy with it.

  218. TechThule

    Bought this to replace a Saeco Odea that broke down after more than 15 years of service. The 3200 Latte Go is a reincarnation of the Saeco. We know it will be durable.
    What we like about this product is its versatility. Sometimes we want espresso, but often we like a cup of strong coffee.
    On occasion we enjoy a cappuccino, and the latte attachment works very well. Even makes a decent macchiato!
    The keypad is very intuitive and provides lots of options to adjust the strength of the brew to suit your tastes.
    It gives you multiple options for adjusting the grind coarseness, which is important.
    Of course the quality of the coffee you use is critical.
    Wife is from Colombia, so her standards are very high.
    If you only drink espresso there are other good options. But if you like versatility, this machine will serve you well

  220. Crysta Gingras

    The only thing not mentioned in the manual is that the power button is also the “inflation switch” but you press it briefly for this function rather than hold it for the power function. So far this thing has made my life easy! I’m used to needing to check the gauge, pump some air, then check the gauge again. With this i just tell it where i want the tire and hit inflate. Sit back and relax. 10/10 really hope this machine lasts in my backpack as storage on my motorcycle.

  221. sunyea

    “The best purchase I made in the past year is definitely this coffee machine! It’s incredibly easy to use and maintain – just press a button and you have espresso. Since getting it, my husband and I have stopped buying coffee at Starbucks. My friends want to buy one after seeing it, and we enjoy hosting them for coffee like a home café. I’ll definitely get one for my parents when it goes on sale later!.”

  222. valerie browne

    Love it. Takes up less space than my old one that I had for years. Easy to use and love that it comes with so mantpy labels.

  223. LadyZana

    I have had the machine since August 2023. I graduated from a moka pot. Love this machine. Whole bean is best, but you can use pre-ground also. Make sure to use only 1 level scoop using the included measuring scoop. ONLY 1 LEVEL SCOOP!! The machine will pitch a hissy and make a mess of dry grounds inside the “brew group”. Rinse brew group EVERY WEEK! Do what the manual says and this machine will reward you with great coffee! Has paid for itself already.

  224. wendy

    I ended up returning because it doesn’t work for me entirely. I needed a watch that would last at least a week because i hate charging every day. Needed the basics to record my steps and workouts and send notifications.

    This watch does all that but the notifications does not work with my iphone 13 pro. I do get some alarm and calls notifications and nothing else. So might be a compatibility but other than that the price and functionality is great.

    I like that you can download different watch displays for customization but i wish you can add your own photo. Really bummed since i wanted to keep this.

  225. Steven

    I make my own ice lattes and this espresso machine is a must, there was no point getting new Philips difference is just the digital screen it does the same job. This coffee machine is the best I no longer purchase Latte Dunkin Donuts or Starbucks I now saved over $600 dollars from not buying coffee at the stores or drive thru, it’s all done at home.

    I learn how to make ice lattee caramel, bought whipped cream and some Tori caramel sauce and bam! Fresh coffee every morning on my way to work. Family loves it everyone can enjoy their own individual different coffee settings.

    The machine allow whole bean coffee which is the best in my opinion and it also accept ground coffee has a tiny door on top to add it. Water temperature is perfect nice and hot and the grinder is excellent. Water filter is great!

    Not to mention Philips offered me 5 years warranty bumper to bumper free no down payment.

    Great machine you will love it, give it a shot take
    Some time to learn how to use it day by day you’ll become pro.

  226. Cliente de Kindle

    Me encantó logré organizar todas las especias que más utilizo y aún me quedaron 3 frascos por si decido comprar alguna nueva. Compré el de 16 frascos pero también hay una opción de 20 fraseos. Lo que antes me ocupaba toda una caja ahora lo tengo ordenado en una esquina y además luce increíble !

  227. Renad Alzahrani

    شكلها حلو وفيها مميزات كثير بس مشكلتها تحمر يذي منها اذا طولت لابستها حتى لو وسعتها وماعي مره مريحة في البداية بس ساعدتني كثير الصراحة في التمرين وحساب الخطوات كمان تحمس

  228. Aris Miguel Candelario

    justo lo que buscaba, estoy considerando solo usarlo para dormir y ejercicio y comprarme el redmi watch 4, pero creo que con esta band 8 es suficiente

  229. Terra

    I decided to fall into the trends of buying the same shakers for my seasonings and I wanted the carousel version. I found these with the black accents and was super happy with it. Though it was VERY time consuming to put seasonings in these jars, it was so worth it to make my OCD at peace. Unfortunately I’m a complete spazz, and didn’t use my brain, so I put the stickers on the side instead of the tops of the caps …. I went back through and removed the stickers and placed them where they belong. So be smarter than me and don’t do what I did. I honestly felt like the jars didn’t hold as much as they said they would because I was trying to pour store bought spices into these, and I’d have some leftover. In theory it should have fit, but that’s okay. These look nice, saved space in my cabinet, and allowed me to have a nice aesthetically pleasing set on my counter. Oh, I started by using the funnel but it took too long so I just started dumping the spices into these jars and it went much faster lol.

  230. HV

    Wederom een mooie uitvoering met super veel mogelijkheden.
    Bandje is moeiteloos in 1 minuut te vervangen voor een metalen bandje.

  231. Maria Botto Micca

    I liked the design of the watch and its configurability. I enjoying changing the face of the watch. I don’t have the necessary tools to evaluate the reliability of data on HRV, calories, etc

  232. Katie F.

    I was really worried when I bought this. I tend to avoid electronics if I can do things manually as I tend to find labor easier in the long term versus the headaches and failures of electronics. Well, this thing is simple, accurate, and versatile. I’ve used it on bicycles (Presta and Schrader both), multiple sporting balls, a motorcycle, and even a car. It works. I’m not a 5* guy but that is just the way of the world. I think this might be a legitimate 5* product. I’m not sure how I could improve it.

  233. M. Steitle

    I love everything about this espresso machine and the one time I had need to call customer service, they were able to give me professional guidance to resolve the problem. (Spoiler: My water pump & seals were fine and I learned about the importance of fresh beans).

    With the right beans, I would rather drink my own espresso drink that I made from my Barista Express than most coffee shops around. I take it with me on local vacation trips rather than go without.

    I have used my Barista Express multiple times daily for over 3 years and it’s still working as well today as the day it arrived, and it looks nearly the same. Having said this, I am meticulous and fastidious about cleaning and maintaining it.

    – Wipe off the screen after every shot pulled.
    – Run the steam wand for ~5 seconds after every use to blow out any milk reside, then I wipe the wand off
    – Only fill the water tank with filtered water.
    – Any time the cleaning or descaling indicator appears, carry out the respective cleaning process within the next few days.

    If the day comes that my Barista Express is no longer usable and can’t be repaired, I’ll be online purchasing a new machine from Breville.

  234. Rob

    I have had several espresso machines including a Breville that only lasted 4 years (which was alot of $$ for 4 years worth). So far I do love how easy this machine is – I haven’t used if for anything except espresso (lattes and mochas), My only complaint so far is the coffee in the grinder has to be pushed down every so often into the feeder part. Other than that – good machine and it looks really nice on the counter!

  235. Charlotte

    This is my go to now for all things coffee. My Keurig feels neglected. I love that the hot water comes from a different source so that it’s not coming out with coffee residue. The Go Latte cup is super easy to clean and one of the main reasons I bought this model. The only down side is that I now drink more coffee, because I am loving the fresh ground coffee each time I make a cup. There are really good instructions on YouTube on how to get this machine started the right way. Glad I followed those steps. I love that I don’t have to press the coffee. I kept the manufacturer’s settings as others recommended and I am good with that. The crema from a cup of coffee is beautiful. It’s a little loud when coffee is grinding or making coffee but it doesn’t bother me because the noise doesn’t take long. I’m sensitive to noise so this says a lot. I love making cappuccinos as it gives me enough foam. I’ve had it for over two months and so far so good.

  236. Blake Hardin

    The set up is easy, very straightforward learning curve to make the different drinks. The machine has worked great and makes great espresso drinks. I would buy it again.

  237. voss

    Very nice quality GLASS spice jars and black stainless rack. I couldn’t wait to empty out my spice cabinet and put them all in here and it looks GREAT! Love using them and the asthetic vibe

  238. Eriely colon

    We love this machine! I initially purchased the Dilongi la especialista for $1200.00 and was so hard to learn how to use the machine we literally suffer so much ended sending it back after a month of bad coffee and a lot of frustration. Then we found this machine and everything change. Was so friendly, I went to YouTube and check some basic videos and in less than a week we was making a beautiful perfect cup of espresso without problems! I highly recommend this beautiful pice of art! We love it!

  239. alejandro fundora

    I love this little tracker. I watched a bunch of reviews and I understand that this band is never going to be as accurate as the Apple Watch or a chest strap. That said, you’re not paying nearly as much for this, and it punches WAY above its weight class. Sleep is one of those areas where it’s not supposed to be super accurate and for me, I find that it’s pretty spot on – so there’s that. There is person-person variability with all of these devices: skin color, thickness of your wrist, how much hair you have, what kind of exercise you do, etc. For general fitness, I find this band to be really good. It does a great job of tracking my workouts and it even provides you with some insights. Screen is nice and bright. Battery life is 8+ days with all health tracking turned ON and all notifications OFF. Steps are very accurate. Heart rate data is decent enough for steady state workouts and resting measurements. Never swam with it but I shower with it every day with no issues. All in all, a great value proposition.

  240. Heli B.

    We liked this coffee machine but we had permanently problems with the water tank. The most if time the systems shoed us a problem with the tank. We checked the contacts, cleaned this also again and again and the tank was full. But the system shows very often „empty water tank‘. That‘s ultimately the reason why we returned the machine. 🙁

  241. Richard L.Prager

    Storing spice that I use often. Good quality of finish, bottles and even provides attractive labels for many popular spice names.

  242. MR ASH

    Went for this model due to the lower price versus the branded names. Seems decent enough. Was able to inflate 6x car tires on one full charge, not quite enough to do two cars at the same time. Does get very hot. The hose is not very long which means you have to find a stand of similar if the chuck is rotated at the top of the wheel. Definitely wouldn’t recommend holding while inflating.

  243. Julie J

    I (like you reading this may be) was hesitant to spend so much on an espresso machine. My daily coffee shop stop was pricy but I had zero prior knowledge or experience. I also assumed that my home coffee attempts would be a flop and I’d be back at the coffee shop shortly.

    I purchased this in July 2023 when it went on sale for around $450. It’s now January 2024 and I use it almost daily and sometimes several times a day. On days I work from home it saves me from getting out and wasting time getting coffee. On days I go to the office I still end up making one in my insulated cup and taking it with me. I’ve returned to a coffee shop a couple times when out of town. I can honestly say what I can make at home is the same or better than anything from a coffee shop.
    Currently I am enjoying trying out new local roasted beans. Messenger coffee beans so far have been my favorite and the ones I continue to go back to.

    When it goes on sale purchase it. You won’t regret it. If mine broke or was stolen today I’d have a new one ordered by the end of the day.

    I recommend purchasing these basics with your machine-Torani syrup in the large bottles (25.5 and up), pumps for bottles, knock box, good quality beans.

  244. LoriG

    I was very excited to get this to organize all my spices. There are more labels than you’ll ever need. The quality of the jars and spinning holder is very good. It fits great in my pantry cabinet. I will be ordering another!

  245. Christopher Hauck

    bought this to have a small emergency inflator for my e-bike(a foot stomp pump is STILL bigger than this) and it works perfectly(after my first delivery was stolen during the thanksgiving holiday, sadface)
    it could be better if it had a tiny compartment for adapter bits(probably space inside the case for a tiny drawer for ball needles and adapters)
    it uses USB-C 5VO (dumb 5v mode) to charge, which could mean smart power-banks do not notice it is trying to charge, but as it has capacity to likely fill 2-4 small car tires before breaking 50% it is a must-have for any small inflation uses, as long as you are ok with it slightly overshooting the pressure at low ranges or small sizes like sports balls

  246. Greg Mack

    I bought this for easily making coffee, from whole beans, one cup at time. This does that REALLY well for a fully automatic machine!
    The Americano is good but maybe a tad too watered down for my taste The rest of the clan seems to like the Latte and Cappuccino options – and the way it does steamed milk is quite impressive (if you’re into that).
    Im not a fan of straight up espresso, so I haven’t tried that (although, I have used it to add an espresso shot to a single large coffee for a really bold cup).
    Easy to clean, easy access to fill water tank and empty the used grounds.
    Wish the water tank was bigger.

  247. DP

    This has come in incredibly handy to top off my tires occasionally, especially in very cold weather when the local gas station air pumps were turned off. Battery life isn’t huge, but it’s been enough to easily fill up one very low tire or top off a couple that were moderately low, and it’s pretty quick to recharge if you need more. All in all, highly recommended to keep on hand to get you out of tight spots and avoid dealing with the hassle of a manual pump.

  248. ashley

    This espresso machine is very worth the money! It really makes quality espresso, including decaf espresso, and regular Ruta Maya Dark Roast coffee. It’s very user friendly with a great instructions, and what to do if your shot isn’t building enough pressure. I will say that you need to leave the filter that’s already in there and don’t change it out, (unless you know how to make it work well for other coffees), because it works best with the one that it already has installed. The steamer works very well, coffee extracts for a good amount of time and tastes very rich in bean flavor. Absolutely recommend!

  249. Sina

    I have an iPhone and I recently started working out, so I was meaning to get myself a wearable health tracker that’s compatible with my phone. Obviously the first option is an apple watch, but I really didn’t want to pay so much money for something I’ll use for a very specific and limited use case.

    Then I thought I couldn’t go wrong with a £37 purchase and decided to give this watch a go, and I’m so glad I did.

    The integration blew my mind. The app can communicate with apple health app and can log in step count, blood oxygen level, heart rate and so on. It can receive notification from messaging apps like apple watch, it even has “find my phone” that vibrates the phone. I bought it under the assumption that it’d operate in its own data bubble, this level of cross-platform compatibility is far beyond my expectation.

    I’m not a big fan of smartwatches in the first place so I couldn’t care less about staying in the apple ecosystem. All I wanted was not having a heart attack while rowing (which is an exercise that it tracks) and still I pretty much got the entire package. Admittedly I never owned an apple watch but I’d be shocked if there’s in fact a £750 difference in user experience between two devices in the context that I use.

    One thing that lost me like 5 minutes until I found the relevant reddit page is that the app design is a bit clunky. The initial user agreement page seems to be stuck. in reality there are two invisible toggle buttons on the left side of the agreement rows. In case anyone else can’t figure out what’s going on.

  250. B. Kelton

    I was pleasantly shocked at the capability of this portable compressor. I have been using a small pancake-style air compressor in my garage and it’s a bit of overkill and time consuming just to top off my bike or car tires. I found the Woowind Portable Air Compressor to be a better solution than I expected.

    It is very handy to have the hose stored inside the compressor, charge via USB-C connector and the multiple settings and adapters. The connectors work very well to screw onto both Presta and Schrader valve caps with minimal air loss during attachment and detachment. The preset pressure works great and the different modes allowed me to set one for my 35.0 psi on a performance tire for my car, 81.0 psi for my road bike and 43.0 psi for my mountain bike (I used the Manual mode for the additional preset). One charge was more than enough for four car tires and then two bike tires from fully empty tubes.

    It is a little slow-about a minute and 15 seconds for each tire, but considering the portability and other benefits, this was a minor detail. It is not too loud–output is about 80 dB. One other small drawback is the mode button can be sensitive as it is next to the power button. A very minor inconvenience and outweighed by all of the other benefits. It is reasonable priced and I would highly recommend!

  251. Brittany Aldridge

    I have gone through a few keurigs and tried a nespresso machine but this by far my favorite way to drink coffee! It took me watching a few videos to learn how to use it properly but once you dial in your machine on your favorite type of coffee bean than you are golden! No more paying $6 for something i can make at home for under $2!

  252. Tim Rottman

    I was getting tired of firing up my 30 gallon air compressor to air up my daughter’s bike tires, scooter tires and neighborhood kids basketballs. I looked for something small I could keep in my tool box that would fit the bill and landed on this pump.

    This thing is amazing. Have used it on balls, bicycle tires and electric scooter tires. Set the desired PSI and it does it’s thing. It charges quickly and comes in a nice bag. Perfect for your tool box and/car.

    Will be buying another for our 5th wheel trailer.

  253. Maykel Pousa Gonzalez

    A mi esposa le encanto,se lo regale por navidad y esta super genial,tiene muy buena vista facil de sincronizar y la batería le dura bastante

  254. RG

    This spice rack is the best. I purchased 2 of them. Great size containers, easy fill silicone funnel, attractive on counter top or in a cabinet. Blank labels to add your own spices. It would have been better to have a small white marker that comes with it since the labels are black. I didn’t have one.

  255. Louise

    I love it!!! The jars are a nice weight, covers go on firmly, the holder spins easily and it comes with labels. The 20 jars were enough for me. The only issue I have is the plastic pieces that allow you shake on the spices. They are hard to get on potentially spilling the contents everywhere the next time you use them. They are no different than the ones that come on spices you buy. I thought they might have been better quality. I bought a second set of labels so I could put one on the side because if I had several spice open I mixed up the covers. I can over state how great this set is. It good quality. The rack spins easily.

  256. Carlos Colon

    It is an incredible coffee maker, it took me a long time to buy it, I wouldn’t change it for anything

  257. Bluemanta

    This is my 2nd Barista Express. I got tired of the stainless steel look so I switched to black. Plus it went on sale for limited time so I couldn’t say no.

    As a hobbiest barista, I make about 3-5 drinks a day. Sometimes espresso only and some other times with Oatmilk.

    This machine has everything you need to make amazing coffee. However, while it provides the right tools and customization, the rest is depended on you. You have to learn and practice how to make your drinks correctly.
    This rule of thumb applies whether you buy this machine or a $2000 fancy machine with 2 boilers and touchscreen. Learn about your coffee and you will be able to master your drinks.

    This machine offers some great features at a very good price point:

    1. Burr grinder with 13-16 levels of grind
    2. 54mm Portafilter with 2 sets of baskets. My recommendation is to use the single-walled double shot basket. You will gain better control when dialing in your coffee.
    3. Programming for single and double shot. Once you dial-in your coffee, you can store the extraction time in memory
    4. You can adjust the water temperature
    5. Self cleaning program

    Again, regardless of which machine you buy, the most important part is prepping you puck of coffee for extraction. Once you understand the different factors – there is no need to spend more $$$ on higher-end machine.

    Here are a couple of tips to start with:
    – Get a scale. It will help removing some of the guess work.
    – ALWAYS buy beans that are fresh and with the roasting date printed on the bag. Ignore the “best by” date. It means nothing because fresh coffee is at peak during up to 14 days from roasting date.
    – Watch videos on YouTube. There are plenty of great instructional videos to teach you about coffee and latte art.
    – Don’t be afraid to experiment. You will waste allot of coffee and milk at the beginning. But once you get it right, the reward will be priceless.

    I love how well it fit under the cabinets and keeps the counter clutter free. All the spice labels I needed were there expect for one (steak seasoning) but I was able to use the blank label to write it in.

    Hands down winner vs the fitbit in my opinion. It’s very slightly bulkier, but the screen, response speed, wrist turn time, superior mobile app, and customizable watch faces that allow you to show more than A SINGLE STAT on the watch, makes it no contest. I now have some nice looking watch faces that show me everything I want at a glance.

    Really happy with this, always nice finding that the cheaper product is also the better one. Don’t fall for FitBit’s “good name” it’s actually google now and boy did they ruin it.

    This coffee machine allows me to go back to my barista days, I feel so happy I finally bought it. For those who never worked with more serious non automatic machines, it can be a little tricky because I feel like there are a lot of things that can go wrong and you usually have no idea that the problem is. YouTube is full of helpful videos that can explain how everything works and what might need adjustment and how to pull a perfect shot with this machine. I suggest you ALWAYS work with freshly roasted coffee only, I usually buy it in local coffee shops, it might be a little more pricey but it’s worth it. Some people mention low pressure with this machine, but I have never experienced that. I’m pretty sure that happens if you work with old coffee, that makes perfect sense, that happens even if you work with $30 000 machines and use old coffee that doesn’t have any trapped gas left, you also never get crema from such beans.

    I feel very grateful that I have this beautiful coffee machine, it allows me to make high quality espresso and lattes, much better quality than I used to have at local coffee shops (not Starbucks haha). You have to go through a learning curve that is a little rough, but after that you will appreciate every shot, trust me.

    I’ve only been drinking coffee for 13yrs. Started when I was 30. I have been waiting for a machine like this one for a long time and it was a bday gift from my wife. We love it. I make about 3 cups a day and she makes 2 cups a day. In that time the only thing I’ve had to do is change the water filter. And today I have had my first failure. Some gaskets have worn out and I’m not getting much water at all coming out of the nozzle. It is ending up in the bottom tray. I’ll report back to see if this fix will get it going again. I’m a harsh critic when it comes to brands and I’m very impressed with this machine. My wife bought it when it was $1k, it’s gone down to under $700 now. Crazy!

  262. Consumer

    I was very much hesitant to buy this. How could such a tiny thing pump air into everything?

    Well, guess what…. I don’t care how it does it, it just LOVE it!!

    I purchased this for my new e-scooter, as I didn’t really want to go to the gas station for tiny tires & was unsure of the safety. When I got it today, i immediately charged it and inflated the tires on my scooter. LOVING how it automatically stops at your preset PSI.
    So then I went to my car, which I’d recently filled (&checked with a manual device). Every tire was slightly different. And so I fixed that problem. It was actually fun. I wish I had more stuff to inflate! lol

    This is hands down one of the best purchases I’ve made this year, & that says a lot, because I’m counting my new scooter!

    Don’t hesitate – buy it yesterday!!!

  263. Tyler

    I immediately plugged this in to charge as soon as I opened it, just to make sure it’d be 100%. Topped off my tires, as the cold weather has made them lose a few PSI. Tires filled quickly, and the auto-shut off worked as described. I compared the shut off setting with what my info screen in the vehicle was showing, and the numbers were matching, so the inflation to my desired PSI was very accurate.

    Being able to store the hose inside the unit is VERY convenient! One less thing to have to keep track of.

    While I haven’t gotten to use the other attachments, yet, like for blowing up sports balls etc., I do wish there was a compartment on the device to store those tips as well. I’m sure they will end up being lost before I have the need to inflate a ball.

    Battery life seems good enough for minor use. I added about 4 PSI to all four tires and it put me down to about 75%. I doubt it would last anywhere near long enough to inflate 4 flat tires, but that’s part of the trade off of having a smaller and more convenient device.

    this machine does not work because it seems to me that there are not enough parts inside

  266. Leslie de Graaf

    I can’t say enough great things about this coffee maker! We love it and everyone who comes over to our house usually ends up buying one for their house too. This is professional grade quality coffee at home. This machine is totally worth the investment and we’ve been so happy we get to make coffee at home that tastes so good!! I have to say, we have become quite coffee snobs since purchasing this machine. It’s also wonderful that we have five different coffee options to choose from. I also use the hot water feature every day when making my hot tea, too. Typically, we have to clean out the tray that pulls out at the bottom about once every 4 to 5 days. When I say you have to clean it out, I mean you need to dump the grounds in the trashcan and rinse out the part that holds the grounds. Easy peasy! Philips did a great job with this machine. The bottom part also has a tray that holds water that comes out during the powering up process. This is to ensure that the lines are clear and there’s no stale water in the system. It’s very easy to clean out too-you simply pull the tray out and dump it in the sink. This accommodates very tall mugs and small cups too. We bought the one with the added milk frother because we do tend to enjoy cappuccinos and latte macchiatos and our guests enjoy this feature, as well. This has been a great addition to our house and our friends that come over to visit us always want to make a cup of coffee. I can’t tell you how many friends and neighbors we have had who have seen this machine and end up buying the same one for their home. This brand is known to be high-quality and we’ve been very happy with our purchase. One of the features that made us choose this coffee maker was the fact that it was so easy to use. The machine grounds the beans for you and makes it so fast to clean. If you were looking for a coffee maker at home and you want to experience quality coffee shop coffee, I can’t recommend this machine enough. We love it and I feel confident you will, too.

  267. T. Le

    This was very well packaged and arrived with no broken pieces. Jars are good sized. Lots of labels and I believe there are some blank ones for your own blend or specialty spices. Love the little funnel. Purchased a second one for other spices I have.
    It’s very sturdy and spins easily

  268. Mike R PE

    I use this daily for 7 years now. Do maintenance as needed. Love the fresh grind and taste from its froth. I’d give it a full 5 star rating, however when I want a double-double espresso with steamed milk the mugs fit that just barely fit under it. 1/2” taller for next redesign would fix that.

  269. Dawn Carolyn Sabo

    We couldn’t be happier with this multi function coffee machine. We did lots of research before making a purchase. This Phillips machine kept coming up on top. It’s super easy to use, clean and makes great coffee. We are using it as our daily for our coffee. The setup was a little challenging but not a deal breaker.

  270. MJ

    Look at my video… hands down the best machine for professional barista results but as easy as a Kurig/ nespresso cups.
    The machine fits under low cabinets, with easy and convenient access to grounds and water compartments. The automatic buttons for coffee selection is so easy to select and use to create a perfect cup of americano/ cappuccino, latte, espresso or regular coffe .
    Uses whole beans or grounds Easy to use and clean!
    Worth the price compared to other on the market.

  271. SouthernMade

    Love it. From left to right espresso, coffee, Americano, cappuccino, and latte macchiato. Super easy.

  272. Fabrice

    Montre connectée conforme au descriptif. Élégante avec plusieurs écrans possibles pour que chacun puisse trouver une lisibilité qui lui convienne.
    Je n’ai pas l’intention d’utiliser toutes les options.
    Je m’en sers surtout comme podomètre et, plus généralement, dans le cadre de mes activités physiques.
    Au niveau des mesures, la montre fait le job même si j’ai noté quelquefois des données fantaisistes concernant le rythme cardiaque (bugs ?).
    Je ne suis pas suffisamment compétent pour juger de la qualité des mesures effectuées sur le sommeil et pour les interpréter utilement. Toujours est-il que ça fonctionne et que l’ensemble est compréhensible.
    L’application Mi Fitness (gratuite) est relativement ergonomique.
    Il est toutefois regrettable qu’elle ne soit pas compatible avec Google fit.
    Il est également dommage qu’il n’y ait aucun mode d’emploi livré avec la montre.
    Il y a juste une documentation sur les caractéristiques techniques générales du produit. Quand on est familier de ce genre de produit, on trouve vite ses marques. Dans le cas contraire, ça peut être désagréable.
    Bon, pour le reste, c’est de la technologie chinoise. Il ne faut donc pas s’attendre non plus à quelque chose d’exceptionnel. Cependant la montre fait le job pour un prix tout à fait raisonnable.
    C’est l’essentiel et c’est ce que je recherchais.

  273. Morgan

    What is there not to like about this machine?? It’s by no means a commercial espresso machine- but it is a phenomenal personal machine!
    Takes a bit to warm up properly, so if you are an early morning espresso consumer, turn this on first thing when you wake up.
    Very customizable brewing methods, as well as grinds! It is a bit heavy, which I consider a good thing. Personally, it is a comfortable size. The portafilter is a good weight and very comfortable to hold.
    The steam wand is exactly what I was hoping for! Very good range of motion on it, powerful, accurate, just all around pleased with that!
    It will take you some tweaking to find the correct settings for each type of bean you put into this machine, so please keep that in mind! So far, nothing that comes out wonky is the machines fault. It is either user error, or just a trial and error kind of thing! That is exactly what you need to do. Trial and error until you find the perfect setting for your beans. Every bean/blend is different!!! This is not a miracle machine that you can choose one setting and every type of coffee you put through it will be the same, that’s just unrealistic!
    If you are an amateur barista, this machine may seem overwhelming. I do recommend you do your research to find exactly the kind of machine that will be most suitable for you! There are lots of videos online explaining how to get the best grind and quality out of your brew with this breville, so watch those as well!
    I cannot stress this enough!
    Easy to clean, comes with just about everything that you need! Mine came with two cleaning tablets and one filter pod, so be sure to grab extras as you want to clean this machine every use to keep it functioning properly! Cleaning maintenance videos are online from breville.

    If you are in the market for a quality machine and know your way around brewing espresso, this is the one for you! Even if you aren’t familiar, just educate yourself and you will fall in love with this!! Wish I had the means to gift this to everyone in my family this holiday! Couldn’t be happier to invest in this!

  274. Katie Kreig

    I love this, I’ve been wanting to make espresso at home after I got my barista job a few months ago. Now I can wake up on my days off and make coffee at home instead of paying for it. Pulls great shots, feels sturdy, perfect size for a countertop machine and works really well. I wish it was a little heavier so when I lock the portafiller in place the machine doesn’t slide around, but I can find ways around that to not get it to slide. I wanted this machine specifically because it doesn’t have plastic pieces. I took the only plastic piece that touches espresso out of the portafiller and the coffee tastes the same. So far there have been no leaks anywhere on the machine. Takes a few seconds to warm up but I have no problem waiting for it to heat up. My only gripe is the milk frothing wand. I wish it had more holes for the steam to escape, and I wish it didn’t spurt out water at the beginning. After I purge the water and get my milk ready it does create really good, fluffy foam and warmed up milk. I’ve used whole milk, coconut milk and almond milk and all 3 have worked out really well. Very happy with my purchase!

  275. Ashley

    I use so many more spices now because of the ease of all them being right there versus going though our small spice cabinet

  276. Nick W

    Very happy I got this. I bought it mainly for my ebike, but I’ve already used it on a car tire as well. The build quality and gauge accuracy are pretty darn good, especially for $35. Its as quiet as a small compressor can be, a notch quieter than a typical 12 volt or plug in compressor. It’s slower than a plug in as well, to be expected. One full charge can easily inflate my fat tire 26″ bike twice, I’ve had to do it. It took about half a charge to inflate 10psi on an SUV tire, that’s a lot of air volume, I wasn’t disappointed. I wouldn’t rely on it for car inflation, but for just topping off, it would definitely do the trick. It’s great for bikes and good to have around in general.

  277. Lindaz

    I wasn’t sure I wanted something else on my countertop, but my spices were taking up too much room in my drawers. I really like the way it looks with my farmhouse decor and it’s so much easier to find what I need quickly

  278. Giachino Aiello

    Coffee tastes better and easy to clean. I was using normal espresso machines and I love automatic espresso machines. Easier for me to manage.

  279. Clara Merriman

    I was really wanting to replace my drip coffee machine with something all in one (espresso and drip) but I really couldn’t find what I wanted. I just decided to go with a fully automatic espresso since it makes regular coffee, just not drip. I did tons of research and compared lots of brands and models and for feedback from friends with similar machines. Landed on this one and so far I’m really happy. Really easy to set it all up. Took me maybe 10 minutes from unboxing to getting ready for the first cup. First cup was not great. Pretty watery. But the next one was absolutely perfect (latte). The regular coffee tastes fairly similar to drip so that’s great too. Overall I’m really happy with this purchase and I hope it lasts me a long time.

    Es una de las smartband que al día de hoy me sigue gustando de todas las que he probado es mi favorita y claro cada vez que sale una nueva tiene este especificaciones muy buenas y pues bueno cambia un poquito pero sigue siendo la mejor smartband que puedo probar tiene muy buenos características y sobre todo me encanta que sea resistente al agua que dure mucho la batería y pues bueno los gráficos este el sí el dispositivo supera las expectativas Y qué decir de su costo es muy accesible muy económico y se puede hacer el registro de muchas cosas que hagas en tu vida diaria desde rutinas calendario este el periodo etcétera como dicen de lo bueno poco y estás está smartband cumple con ese objetivo.

  281. Tarengo

    Grandioso producto, nueva interfaz y muchos widgets para el uso diario. Cómoda de usar e igualmente útil en el día a día también no olviden descargar la app correcta que es “mi fitness”.

  282. Iana

    I purchased this coffee machine on September 30, 2016. I have been incredibly satisfied with it and would like to highlight a few key aspects of its performance.

    1) The amount of money I have saved since purchasing this machine is remarkable. Previously, I used to visit Starbucks twice a day, but now I find that I prefer the taste of the coffee I make at home. The quality is consistently better, and I no longer feel the need to spend money on coffee shops.

    2) This machine has proven to be incredibly durable. It has been seven years since I bought it, and it is still functioning perfectly. The only repair I had to make was replacing a ribbon circle two years ago, which was a simple and affordable fix that I was able to do myself. This demonstrates the long-lasting quality of the machine.

    3) The quality of the coffee this machine produces has impressed my friends as well. After trying the coffee I made at home, several of them ended up purchasing the same Breville Espresso Machine. This is a very deep and personal recommendation.

    4) One of the features that I appreciate the most about this coffee machine is the level of control it offers. I can easily adjust the blend size and temperature, allowing me to customize my coffee exactly to my liking.
    It’s capable of making great espressos, outstanding lattes, well-balanced americanos, and perfect cappuccinos. Whether you prefer a strong shot of espresso or a creamy latte, this machine has the versatility and performance to satisfy your coffee cravings.

    5) I also purchased a similar model without a grinder for my parents in January 2016. They have been using it regularly and are extremely satisfied with its performance.

    In conclusion, the Breville Barista Express Espresso Machine has exceeded my expectations in terms of cost savings, durability, taste, and control. I highly recommend this coffee machine to anyone looking to make quality coffee at home.

  283. Kimberly Palacios

    I love how it makes it so easy to spin around for me to get my condiments ! Been wanting one for the longest and I loved it !!! The size for it is amazing as well 10/10 !!!

  284. Tijana

    We have had this coffee maker for a bit over 2 years now, and other than one gasket going bad ( we have ordered a replacement part ), we had no other issues!! We keep up with water filters ( even though our water is filtered ), and have no problem with coffee beans jamming, or anything at all really. It tooks us a bit to set it up, but once set up, no other issues! We drink 6-8 cups of coffee each day, so it gets used daily. Highly reccomend this!!

  285. David S.

    I got this to celebrate a kitchen renovation, and to update the moka pot tradition that’s been my coffee ritual for the last five years. Moka pot is great… but it just doesn’t develop the pressure necessary to extract espresso… and sometimes you just want espresso.
    I was very impressed with the Breville attention to detail. The controls were intuitive, and the detail of the touch points was outstanding- the water reservoir transforms into a bucket with a bail so you can carry it to the sink if you like, or alternatively just top it up on the machine. The assembly was simple enough with quarter-turn to assemble the bean reservoir; it’s clear this was designed for easy maintenance. The instruction manual was also well-written and easy to understand.
    The grinder controls are well laid out and easy to access, with just a dial and a knob: grind level and dosage. The filling of the portafilter basket was messy, since the manual/auto button took a few tries to understand, and I didn’t find the filling funnel accessory in the box until after. This did throw into sharp focus, however, how simple it is to clean and service the drip tray, which holds an impressive amount of overflow and easily lifts out in three pieces for cleaning.
    I did get the knock box accessory, and I recommend it just for the simplicity of knocking out pucks against the rubber bar instead of improvising something.
    My only gripe with this is the twin spouts on the portafilter don’t flow the coffee right- the stream doesn’t fall down on the right side, but rides the spout over the edge and misses the demitasse underneath. I’m just going to scratch it up with a file to increase the surface area and get the water to wet out the end better to try to fix it… but it’s super frustrating to try to get your magic bean elixir perfect and see it just jet anywhere but into the cup you placed for it. Not sure if there’s anything Breville could have done about it.
    The milk foaming wand takes a little getting used to, but it’s easy enough to wire down and service, with a threaded tip you can remove to clean if it gets gnarly.

    For me- it’s the perfect mix of bean-to-cup for someone who cares about espresso but maybe not to the point of obsession. You can take it as manual as you like, with puck texturing and fancy tamping or whatever, since you still have to pack your own baskets, but it’s also approachable for the other inhabitants of the kitchen who don’t want to obsess over perfect extraction but just want a hot cup of coffee. It might not be the perfect machine for the wanna-be barista or coffee snob, but it certainly delivers quality shots of the black stuff if you ask it to. I hope it stays reliable, since it’s living up to the promise so far out of the box.

    Sono estremamente soddisfatto del mio acquisto di questa Mi Band. Inutile dire che è un prodotto straordinario sotto molti aspetti, e posso confermare che è la migliore tra le smart band disponibili attualmente, con un rapporto qualità-prezzo davvero imbattibile.

    La prima cosa che mi ha colpito è la qualità costruttiva. La Mi Band è ben progettata, leggera e comoda da indossare tutto il giorno. Il display è nitido e leggibile anche alla luce diretta del sole, il che è un grande vantaggio. Inoltre, l’autonomia della batteria è eccezionale. Ho potuto utilizzarla per giorni senza doverla ricaricare, il che rende l’esperienza d’uso ancora più conveniente.

    Le funzionalità di tracciamento sono accurate e complete. Monitora in modo affidabile la mia attività fisica, il sonno e il battito cardiaco. La sincronizzazione con l’app Mi Fit è semplice, e mi permette di tenere traccia dei miei progressi nel tempo.

    Un altro punto forte è la resistenza all’acqua. Ho potuto utilizzare la Mi Band anche durante le attività sportive acquatiche senza problemi.

    In conclusione, questa Mi Band è un vero gioiello. È la scelta ideale per chiunque cerchi una smart band affidabile, funzionale e conveniente. La consiglio vivamente a tutti coloro che vogliono migliorare il monitoraggio della loro salute e del loro benessere senza spendere una fortuna. Non vedo l’ora di scoprire ulteriori funzionalità e aggiornamenti futuri!

    Absolutely made the best decision to purchase the PHILIPS 3200 Series Fully Automatic Espresso Machine – LatteGo Milk Frother. I did a lot of research before the purchase. It works as described in the video and the fully automatic features and customization make this a perfect machine for our household.

  288. Derek Mellencamp

    I was skeptical that this machine would offer quality lattes and last. 3 months in and the machine is going strong. The interface is easy to figure out and and milk frother is so easy to use and clean. I have only had to clean the grinder once, which was remarkable easy. Overall very satisfied. A couple of things I do not like: they tray fills up with water quickly….not sure where it all comes from, but it needs to be emptied frequently. I cannot fit a larger Yeti under it, so I have to fill up a less tall (normal) coffee cup and dump it into my Yeti.

  289. D. Hudspeth

    Excellent value for a handheld, rechargeable compressor with build-in light. Small enough to fit in the glove box, 4 amp-hour battery means lots of power, easy to read even in sunlight digital pressure gauge, and recharges quickly with the USB-C port.
    I bought one to take on family e-bike rides, and liked it so much I bought a couple more for my wife’s and son’s cars. Small enough to carry in a pocket, so if you have a wheelbarrow, power washer, lawn tractor, trailer, etc tire that is low, you can fill it to the recommended pressure easily and quickly.
    I have a big air compressor that I used to use to fill the car tires, etc but hated to deal with the air hose, finding the inflator, waiting for the pressure to build up, having to periodically drain the air tank of condensdate, etc. This pump is lighter than the old inflator when attached to the air hose, and instantaneous as well.
    Only con I noticed is that the pressure reads high by a few psi while inflating, but correctly when the pump is stopped. Checked with a digital pressure gauge and the pump gauge is pretty accurate.

  290. Sam

    This product is an actual life changer. I’ve used nespresso for ten years and basically forgot what fresh coffee tastes like. I now buy fresh roasted beans and let the machine grind them for each cup for the same price as pods. While it is loud, it’s fun to watch the machine work. You can play with settings to change the amount of liquid, foam, or strength of coffee drink. The reservoirs holds about 36 ox of water and we refilled every couple days. Both my husband and I drink so much more coffee now that we have this machine. Guests always love it. The best part was the deal on prime day!

  291. Jessica Belval

    This is exactly what I’ve been looking for! I need a portable bike pump for my kids stroller wheels, as it uses bike wheels. Sometimes the wheels deflate when I’m out and it gets hard to push. I can just toss this in my diaper bag and be on my way, AND always have a pump on me in case the tires go flat.

    It’s very easy to use and has different modes. You can set the PSI to what you need for each wheel. It was a little confusing at first to find out what PSI I needed (user error), but I tested it on one tire and once I figured it out, I just changed the settings for the other wheels!

    10/10 recommend!

    i got this because the voromotors scooter i paid $1,700 for was a piece of trash (don’t buy from them) and they had NO PARTS in stock to fix it, like NONE, so when i discovered the sh*tty design meant a slow leak in the tire i needed something so i could keep it inflated and go to work to make back the money VOROMOTORS stole when they sold me that scooter.

    the first time i needed it, halfway home when the tire went flat, i was nervous because it had been a few days since i had charged it and some reviews mentioned it loses its charge fast… it hadn’t and came through like a champ, filled the tire and i was in my way.

    the 2nd time i used it i was nervous again for the same reason, but it worked… in fact i used it every morning for the next week before i needed to charge it.

    then i was nervous again because some reviews said it’ll only charge a few times, but i’m on the 4th or 5th charging cycle and it’s still coming through DAILY to fill the scooter tire every single morning.

    in conclusion, i think this compressor is a safe bet, and VOROMOTORS can’t be trusted.

  293. JB!

    We picked this up on a Prime Day deal. It works great. This was our first super-automatic maker. I’m a fan of straight espresso and the shots are delicious and perfectly made every time. The crema on the espresso is nice as well. The temperature is just right and the time to heat up is very quick.

    My wife likes capuccino and the milk frother works well. It is fairly easy to use, no difficult settings to figure out.

    Most of the parts can go in the dishwasher.

    My only complaints are very minor:
    It does a rinse cycle before and after use. So if you set your cup on the tray and then turn it on, it will put some hot rinse water in it . Not a big deal as you can just dump it out. But also if you leave your cup on the tray too long, it will eventually auto-shut down and run its rinse cycle again, putting hot rinse water into your coffee. Fortunately you have a long time to pull your cup before it shuts down so that’s not a big issue.

    The other minor complaint I have is that it doesn’t actually detect if the grinder is empty. I went to make a coffee a couple days ago and it went through the whole cycle but only gave me hot water. I realized the hopper was empty so I added beans, dumped out the cup and ran it again.

    Overall this machine is worth the money and it makes a very good cup of coffee. It is very convenient and the features are well thought out.

  294. Lionel

    I have found, as others, that the default factory settings makes good coffee on the coffee setting. But the espresso and espresso based drinks are lacking fullness of the flavors of the beans. However, by setting the grind (follow instructions as it has to be actively grinding to adjust it) to 1.5 or 2 (1.5 in my case) and using beans that are not overly oily (illicafe is my favorite), making the strength setting at the highest and the liquid setting at medium (the default) all the milk based drinks are great and espresso is also good. Lowest liquid setting for espresso makes it great.

    Hope this helps others. Oh, and you need to make a couple of shots before the grind difference seems to take full effect. Not sure why but I have also seen that mentioned elsewhere.

    This coffee maker is such a delight! It was super easy to put together. The assembly of the accessory pieces were just as easy. We like that the frothier is extreme easy to clean and assemble back together. The maintenance is just as easy!! We enjoy that we don’t have to change the coffee grounds after each coffee we make. Just overall we like it a lot! Best purchase!

    Got this on sale during Prime Day. What an excellent value! Integrated grinder and espresso machine with built-in PID and 3-way solenoid valve for less than $600!

    The grinder works well, though there is some clumping, which necessitates a WDT. So far I’ve used light medium to very dark roasts with no issues. Removing the hopper and cleaning the burrs is simple and straightforward. What I really like about the grinder is that there are macro adjustments to account for wear, prolonging the longevity of the machine.

    For brewing espresso, this machine makes it easy. What I really appreciate is the included tamper, dosing funnel and the Razor dose trimming tool. The pressure gauge lets me know if I need to adjust my grind and/or dose. I’m been producing quality espresso shots almost everyday without a hiccup from the machine.

    My only criticism is that the machine could be quieter.

    I was looking at bicycle pumps and was planning on purchasing a stand up push pump when I came across this. So far it’s amazing. It fills my bicycle tires in minutes and I have tried it on balls, my motorcycle, and car. It is pretty cool that it can pump car tires and it’s roughly the size of a Tall Boy Bert can (maybe a little shorter).

    Also, IT DOES work on Presta Valves! The Schrader Valve is pre installed, the Dunlop Valve is the shorter of the 2 included valves and had a blue center, and the Presta is little bit longer. All you have to do is take off the cap on your tire, unscrew the small Presta tip and then push Presta valve until you catch the threads and then continue to tighten it (you might lose a little air in the process but we’ll you have a pump).

    We will see how long this pump lasts but so far it’s amazing and I’m thinking about buying another one just to keep in my car.

    Awesome!

    I bought this as a Prime Day deal, and I’ve had it for several weeks now. It is the absolute best for “set it and forget it” espresso drinks. If you set the machine up properly, it will make great espresso, cappuccino, and americano. The LatteGo feature is great. No need to use a steam arm and a pitcher. Just pour the milk in, and you can’t screw it up. The only drawbacks I have which are minor for the most part) are I wish the machine had a larger water reservoir and bean hopper. After about two months, I’m very happy with the machine.

    This product was ready within minutes of being out of the box. It is easy to use even before you’ve had your coffee. It makes delicious coffee with just the press of a few buttons. I was on the fence about buying it and used a Keurig and a French press as well as a standard home coffee pot. This is vastly superior. Add water and whole beans or grounds and go. It self cleans the nozzle and let’s you know when to empty the grounds. I would 100% buy it again! The only downside is that now I am drinking way more coffee…

  300. Eva

    Sometimes I just spin it for the hell of it. It’s beautiful and modern and fits a large selection of my spice collection freeing up much needed cabinet space! Tons of labels to choose from my only sad report is somehow the little rubber funnel has gone missing. I’ve torn my house apart but can’t find it!

  301. TeeTee

    As expected. Like the stickers and funnel that come with it. All glass containers came intact. Nothing broken and packaged properly to avoid breakage with bubble wrap.

    I recently purchased the Woowind LP1 Bike Pump and Mini Tire Inflator, and I couldn’t be happier with my purchase. This compact device has quickly become an essential tool for my biking adventures and daily commuting.

    First of all, the portability of the LP1 is impressive. It’s so lightweight and compact that I can easily carry it in my backpack or attach it to my bike using the included mounting bracket. This convenience has saved me from being stranded with a flat tire on more than one occasion.

    The performance of this mini tire inflator is exceptional. Despite its small size, it delivers a surprising amount of power. I was able to inflate my bike tires effortlessly and quickly. It also comes with multiple nozzle attachments, making it versatile enough to use on different types of tires, sports equipment, and even inflatable toys.

    One of the standout features for me is the built-in pressure gauge. It’s accurate and easy to read, allowing me to precisely inflate my tires to the desired pressure level. This feature alone sets the LP1 apart from other mini inflators I’ve used in the past.

    The operation of the LP1 is straightforward. With its one-button design, I can start inflating my tires with just a simple press. The LCD screen displays real-time pressure readings, ensuring I don’t overinflate or underinflate my tires. Once the desired pressure is reached, the device automatically stops, preventing any damage to the tire or the inflator itself.

    The battery life is impressive too. I’ve used the LP1 for multiple tire inflations without needing to recharge it. When I did need to charge it, the USB-C charging port made the process quick and convenient.

    In terms of build quality, the Woowind LP1 feels sturdy and well-made. It doesn’t feel flimsy or cheap like some other mini inflators on the market. The attention to detail and quality materials used are apparent.

    Overall, the Woowind LP1 Bike Pump and Mini Tire Inflator has exceeded my expectations. It’s a reliable, portable, and efficient tool that every cyclist should consider adding to their gear collection. Whether you’re an avid biker or just need a handy inflator for occasional use, the LP1 is a fantastic choice. I highly recommend it to anyone in need of a reliable and convenient tire inflation solution!

    Between my Wife and I, we were spending anywhere from $7-$20+ a day going to Coffee stands. After doing the math it equated to thousands a year, so for me it makes more sense to buy an espresso machine(tough though because its not cheap) ,and learn how to make my own because I love iced coffee, Especially in the summer! We’ve had this one for almost a month now and absolutely love it!!! I recommend scanning through U Tube and learning how to use this machine. I’ve found setting the internal grinder in the machine to 3 and setting the external dial to 8 works pretty well for espresso beans.. the gauge for pulling your shots is essential for getting your pressure right. It seemed complicated before I used it, but it’s really not at all. You just have to play with it a little bit to get it right. Just buy it if your spending way to much on fancy coffee and want the convience of making them in the comfort of your own home.

  304. Candy

    I like how the caps twist on and are not flip type. Flip type just pop open on their own, causing contents to become stale more quickly.

  305. Qa

    We recently got this machine after we saw it in one of our friends house and loved the quality and functionality of it.. the coffee comes out fresh and tastes amazing… definitely recommend it and would buy again!

  306. Kentjax

    Waited a while and finally on sale, so took the plunge. At first like anything a new machine can be a bit intimidating, but after a few days, voila you’ll be a pro. First, if your expect exceptional Italian grade, barista made drinks, not gonna happen, but you will get a very flavorful, delicious drink IF you use good water (not tap), great beans and for milk drinks, quality, fresh milk and oh, don’t forget a quality flavor if you like lattes and macchiatos. In summary, a good home machine if you have the money, low maintenance (suggest getting an extended warranty, just in case) and you can get a decent drink without having to go out and get it at a ridiculous price. At $5.00 a cup of coffee, you can literally own this machine is no time. Bought in July 2023 and it’s part of the family now. Easy maintenance. I empty and clean the tray at least weekly, sometimes more (my compulsiveness kicks in) and I top off coffee beans and fill the water reservoir for the next day. Enjoy!

    *** Update 12/29/23 ***
    Positives
    – Automatic coffee grinder built into the machine.
    – Automatic milk frother.
    – Multiple drink options.
    – It does what it says it does and gives you a fresh cup of coffee.

    Negatives
    – Small portion sizes. The highest setting can be reprogrammed and give you a max of about a 12 oz cup.
    – It doesn’t get as hot as I would prefer. Highest setting is drinking temperature.
    – No foam only option, there is a workaround however.
    – The biggest issue is when using pre ground coffee if you do not select the correct setting by holding down the button the ground coffee will end up in the internal components of the machine and will need to be cleaned.
    – There’s a lot of plastic components.
    – Cost.

    *** Update 9/6/23 ***
    I have had this machine for a few months now. What I like most is how easy it is to use as an all in one machine. You can use whole bean or ground coffee and it will make espresso, coffee, americano, cappuccino, and lattes. I prefer fresh beans over pod coffee and it is a better experience overall than your typical keurig machine.

    The machine is quick to start up and makes coffee reasonably fast. Portions can be smaller than what you are used to but you can select to have two cups made in succession. It is relatively easy to clean and can be disassembled for rinsing. The only issue I have had so far is using ground coffee but forgetting to hold the button for it so it ends up grinding coffee and dumping the fresh grounds I put inside the machine. Usually the grounds get inside the unit which then has to be cleaned. There is no stand alone button for only using the milk frother.

    Now for the price is it worth it? This is really hard to judge, I think if you are somehow who is spending a lot of money at Starbucks then this machine is a good option for a quick morning cup of fresh coffee without too much cleanup. If you are relatively happy with pod coffee I would suggest going with a milk frother instead to enhance your drinks.

    *** Update 7/15/24 ***
    This machine still works as good as the first day I bought it. With proper maintenance, cleaning, descaling, and replacing filters it has held up very well. There are some stains and discoloration on the milk frother from timeworn use. But overall still happy with the quality of coffee this machine produces. The same positive and negative qualities still apply.

    I use new filters and descale the machine regularly as the machine notifies me with the replacement light.

  308. Valerija

    I absolutely love everything about this machine! Got it for an amazing price of a little bit over $500 and couldn’t be happier! It makes a perfect shot of espresso, as well as very nice and balanced latte and perfect americano! Highly recommend to everyone who has coffee obsession! 😍☕️

  309. Crabber

    We had a Saaeco Magic for 20 years. This is very similar but improved. It is now working perfectly, however at first it was giving us mud for pucks and imperfect shots. What fixed it was following instructions to the letter and then moving grind setting to coarsest setting doing a few shots, move to finest setting while it’s grinding. Then repeat. It took at least 3 of these adjustments and and wasting 20-30 shots. We did this over several days, as we were trying to figure it out. I am sure most work perfect out of the box, but try this if yours is giving you trouble

  311. Tracy Westrom

    Love that I get fresh coffee with each cup having fresh beans that grind & option for milk/froth.

  312. Rosalie

    I loved how well protected everything was when it arrived and that it came with everything you need. Most sets you get just the rack or just the jars but this you get both, with the stickers and chalk marker! It is super cute and functional. It saves so much room in my tiny kitchen and I would buy it again in a heartbeat. The only downside is that the jars fit 75% of a standard sized spice container from the store, but I didn’t mind losing the little bit here and there, and we plan to switch to buying in bulk anyway.

  313. The Snowberger

    Easy to use, easy to clean, and just overall amazing. Some of the complaints in the comments seem to be from people who have not read the directions (like you can switch to grounds at any time by holding down the bean strength button).
    If you are looking for a good coffee that’s easy this is it. If your a super coffee snob and want to do latte art this isn’t it, but if you want to hit a button and enjoy your beverage, this is it.

  314. Kevin

    Kinda blows my mind that this little thing can replace the giant super loud plugged into the wall air compressors that I remember from back in the day. But sure enough this does the trick. I had no problem getting bike tires up to 90 PSI, didn’t take long at all. Can carry it in a bike bag or leave in the glove box no problem. USB rechargeable means you can recharge it just about anywhere, including in your car.

    I have two “complaints,” though at the price point there aren’t actual problems per se. The display is not very bright and hard to read in broad daylight, but just hold it in your shadow or wherever and it’s fine to get the setting you want and then you don’t really need to be able to read it. Second, the adapters are pretty cheap plastic, like the Schrader to presta adapter – I don’t expect this to hold up to much use and abuse at all. Saves production cost I’m sure but would he nice to see a metal adapter. I’m sure those can be picked up second hand though when the plastic eventually fails.

    Oh, and the warning labels about the tube getting hot during use are no joke, def handle carefully immediately after using.

  315. namouyal

    I used to weigh my beans, grind them up, tamp a puck, presoak, extract for 30 seconds, steam my own milk…

    It was fun for a while but then I realized I’m spending more time playing as a barista and less time enjoying my coffee.

    The answer: super-automatic espresso/coffee machines.

    Just push a button and you have world class espresso in a few seconds. It’s consistent every single time. In fact the only thing I would comment about to new owners is that the machine GETS BETTER OVER TIME. Especially the first hundred cups. When I first got the machine it was not grinding perfectly and the pucks were loose and watery. I saw some suggestion on their website to let the machine settle in for a hundred cups.

    Here I am at cup number 70 and it’s already producing some of the best espresso/cappuccino/latte I’ve ever had.

    This unit, the 3200 + Lattego, was the perfect entryway for me into the world of superautomatics.

    When it comes time to upgrade I’ll probably be able to share my old one with my sister or brother. It’s a Philips brand. Needless to say when I do upgrade in a few years I’ll be staying within the Philips and Saeco branding.

  317. Katie Bland

    Love this product, it was well made and fit in my kitchen perfectly. I am short so had to get something that was easy access to season my food and this comes in very handy.

  318. M. Wieg

    Now that I’ve been using it for a month, I find I really like it.
    Pros:
    I love the LattéGo frother! It’s beautifully designed, easy to keep clean, and does a great job. I use Fair Life 2% milk. Check out the picture of the cappuccino I made recently.
    There is a good selection of drinks. My favorites are espresso, coffee, and cappuccino
    You can select aroma strength and volume for each drink.
    It has a bypass so I can make decaf with ground coffee
    Maintenance is easy. Just follow the directions
    Speaking of directions, the manual is complete–It took me awhile to realize that there are diagrams in fold out pages in the back of the manual.
    I like the filter–I still use filtered water from my fridge, so I like the idea of never/rarely having to descale the machine.
    There is good clearance under the spouts so our cups fit.

    Cons:
    Sometimes the water light goes on when the reservoir isn’t empty. Not sure why this happens, it’s not a deal breaker.
    The design of the grounds container is a little weird; there is a flat piece that is in front of the grounds container–was annoying until I realized that I don’t have to remove this piece to empty grounds.

  319. Amy

    I love this espresso machine. I did know from research when I purchased it that it doesn’t have a double boiler so you can’t make coffee and steam at the same time. Because of this, you do have to wait a little bit for the steam to get up to pressure before steaming your milk. It is annoying however at the price point I think it’s worth it. (I am not a barista and have not spent the time to dial in my espresso because I am impatient and really wanted to work on latte art. That being said, every cup, I’ve had has taste amazing. I will say the latte art does take a lot of practice repetition, and research online to troubleshoot. I was also concerned about cleaning the machine the first time because some of the reviews had water flooding through parts that it shouldn’t be, and I had no problem with it.

  320. José Manuel Robaina

    Es un accesorio que todo hombre de casa debe tener.
    Según mi punto de vista:
    PROS:
    • Portabilidad, poco peso y tamaño compacto.
    • Rápida carga (2h ya está listo para usar).
    • Sirve para inflar prácticamente de todo (con sus excepciones).
    • Al llegar a la presión requerida, el equipo detiene el inflado.
    • Usa conexión USB-C para cargar.

    CONTRAS:
    • Para aplicar 2psi adicionales a un neumático de una Ford Explorer, demora mas de 5 minutos. Nunca lo he usado para inflar desde cero un neumático, pero supongo que se quedará sin batería en el proceso. Se puede usar para eso, pero básicamente es un equipo para inflar globos, cauchos de bicicletas, motos y pelotas. Inflar neumáticos grandes es un trabajo pesado para este equipo.
    • En día soleado es difícil poder ver la pantalla y configurar la presión deseada, ya que no tiene suficiente brillo.

  321. Larryb33

    I had my eye on getting an espresso machine, I work from home and wanted a more “luxurious” start to the day. In full disclosure I also enjoy the “process” of almost anything that leads to a good result. I purchased this based on reviews and I concur this is an excellent machine delivering strong value. The machine is extremely well built and attractive. We have a small kitchen and it fits well, where old drip coffee maker was. I would suggest deciding where you would want it to go, get a tape measure and masking tape to map out the counter space needed, keep in mind that the plug is not flush and sticks out from socket a little more than a traditional plug. Depending on where you put it, you will need to move it (a little heavy) to have space to add coffee beans to hopper and use steam wand.

    I was up and running quickly, there is a process to prime system that is easy. What I learned that is critical, use (or buy if you need one) a digital scale and measure 18G of coffee beans every time (for a double shot) and do not load hopper full of beans as trying to get right amount of precise ground coffee is a challenge. You will need to “dial in” grind size to get best extraction, this is much easier if you repeat, 18G, then 18G etc. and adjust grind size as appropriate. Also key, buy a Matow 53mm dual head tamper – this makes tamping easy and perfect every time, this alone made my espresso results more repeatable and better. You can set this tamper to right gage using provided Breville razor trimming tool.

    I purchased this on a one day sale for $540 and I am thrilled, I feel a very strong value and would still consider it a strong value at more regular price. I did not buy to replace a Starbucks expense (I rarely go) but rather to enjoy as an everyday enjoyable ritual producing near expert barista level results and it does this very well. There are many Youtube video tutorials on how to use this machine and they are very good to get you going. I am currently making a double shot in AM and early afternoon during week and experimenting with latte’s on weekend. I do not view this as a toy or supplemental coffee maker but an every day appliance and I expect this to hold up well. I would caution against purchasing if you think you are only going to use on weekends because you will never learn enough or develop the rhythm and patience to easily produce regular excellent results. I can make a double shot in less than 5 minutes (better result if your machine is warmed up, means simply hitting power button earlier) I have not mastered the frothing/milk steamer, will take some practice but will get there!

    Enjoy!

  322. Salma De La Orta

    Es muy bonito, de buen material pero llegó un poco doblado de una esquina. Nada que ne preocupe.

  323. Patrick L. Vogt

    We purchased this machine because we valued having access to great quality espresso with maximum convenience. If you are looking for complete control of your coffee, this isn’t the machine for you. At the same time, unless you enjoy/tolerate futzing with grind settings, pre-heating and clean-up rituals, this machine strikes the perfect balance. You get consistent, very good quality drinks from the machine with maximum convenience. It takes care of grinding, tamping, brewing, frothing, and dumping all in one cohesive package. Are you going to be able to make latte art with the foam? No. But in exchange you don’t have to mess with a steam wand that you need to clean. Everything is integrated and works, time and time again.

    One downside is the increased coffee consumption because it’s just too easy to go to the machine and brew yourself some great tasting espresso. But I like to think of that as a testament how much we enjoy the machine.

    I find the machine excels in all available drinks: espresso, Americano, “Coffee”, Cappuccino, and Latte Machiato. My favorites are the Americano and Latte Machiato. Each drink setting allows you to configure the aromatic, espresso, and milk froth amounts. These settings each have three levels, and they are unique to each drink. The settings are remembered so you don’t need to manually program the machine each time.

    Milk frothing is done through a two-piece system that forces steam into the milk, up a tube, and out into your coffee without the need of a steam wand. Hot water can be dispensed out of a separate outlet, which is great for tea. The machine takes care of the warm up and shut down procedures (prewarming the group head by pushing hot water through it for some time on initial start). Maintenance is important– you must remove the mechanism and rinse it with water once a week, and clean the inside from coffee grounds, but this only takes a few minutes.

    We have found the included filter does a very good job filtering out impurities that exist in most municipal water systems.

    Overall, very happy with the machine and would recommend to anyone.

  324. Dennis McIntyre

    This makes great coffee. It is so easy to make espresso, easy as a Keurig but exponentially better.
    I had recently bought a fancy looking high pressure espresso maker. It made just good enough coffee to make me think why am I being stingy with something so important to me every morning? And I bought what I really wanted, this Breville. I’m happy with this decision iny life.
    EASY! It is as automatic as can be. Espresso faster bean to cup than the Keurig next to it takes to make coffee.
    Consistent. I could never do this before. Easily set grind, amount, size.
    Crema. I consistently get thick foam across every shot of espresso. I usually fill the cup with espresso with the hot water that comes out with a dial and drink an Americano. This way makes a fantastic coffee that may astound a guest expected regular coffee.

  325. Kate

    Very easy to remove the blue protective film. Perfect size and very nice looking. i love it! Wish they had a sticker for Ranch but they have a few blank you can make your own.

  326. Diane

    I have been in the food and beverage industry for a couple of decades. I have been fortunate enough to enjoy many good espresso drinks from high end commercial equipment. This machine is the real McCoy. Beautiful crema and silky textured milk is the norm. Buy it. You and your wife will be happy. I tacked on the 3 year service plan so I can be sure to enjoy delicious espressos and cappuccinos without any interruption.

  327. Hey Girl

    I love this spice rack, it really helps with the storage and makes it easy to refill the bottles of spice.

  328. Cariola

    I bought this to replace a 30-yr old spice rack. It’s smaller in size but still holds 20 bottles. Well constructed. I’m especially with the assortment of labels. The old rack had engraved labels that were wearing off, so I always had to take them out and sometimes sniff to find the right herb. The white on black print is sharp and easy to read, and the set included All of the spices that I frequently use and many, many more. Very happy!!

  329. Beemama

    I love the way this machine so easily blends drinks for me. My morning usual now is an Americano topped with a cappuccino. So smooth with the espresso beans that I use. No need for 2 morning cups. This does the trick!

    Easy to clean! It actually clears its own tract so when turning it off or on it is best to slide a cup under the spout to catch the wash out. The pull out tray makes it so easy to get rid of the excess water and the grounds (which we compost). Yes, we clean it and refill the water tank after every mornings use. If you are too lazy to do that then don’t bother getting this. However, for us it is simply heaven.

    We LOVE our coffee and this expresso machine is the bomb! Coffee is better and/or just as good as any coffee shop, no lies! The dark roast/expresso beans taste best and more like you get at a coffee shop. Takes a little getting use to but once you have the hang of it, it is perfect for your at home coffee shop!

    Like most people I’ve drank coffee out of cheap machines and Bunns my whole life thinking that was what coffee should taste like. WRONG!!! Normally I had to drown my coffee in creamer and sugar to drink it, but not with the Phillips machine! Now I drink it black with a 2 small packs of Stevia and enjoy the coffee instead of the creamer. Even cheaper whole bean coffee from the grocery store tastes significantly better.

    Initially the latte and cappuccino options were for my wife, but I will admit to still partaking in a dressed up coffee on occasion. 😁

    I made a peppermint mocha using the latte function for a friend and was told it tasted just like Starbucks. That pretty much says it all.

    If I could have given this 4.7 stars, I would have. My husband and I shopped around for an upgraded coffee machine for a while before finally settling on this one. We were looking for a machine that would make everything all together – milk and all. We upgraded from the Nespresso original line with separate milk foamer. We’ve been using it for about two weeks now, and we are really happy with it! It makes an assortment of drinks at the press of a button!

    CONS
    – I’m still guessing at this point how much exact milk to pour in the milk frothing container so I don’t waste any milk.
    – It doesn’t froth as well as the separate Nespresso milk frother. It does a decent job, and I still use the frothing attachment on the Phillips most often. However, the foam is not as luscious and thick with the Philips (as it is with Nespresso). For this reason, I’m holding onto my Nespresso milk frother until further notice.

    PROS:
    – delicious coffee
    – environmentally conscious (no pods going into landfills!)
    – easy to clean (so far!)
    – customizable beverages

    Overall, it’s a big investment and one that we’ve been happy to make. No regrets! Would purchase again!

  333. Alan Holder

    It makes great coffee. It takes a couple of days to get used to, and I recommend changing the grind setting 2 notches finer because once I did that I have had perfect coffee. But I recommend you just take a couple days to play around with different settings and watch a few youtube videos and it won’t take long to dial in the perfect coffee.

  334. Kayden W.

    Probably the best purchase we’ve ever made outside of our house and our pets. Fantastic espresso drinks and incredibly easy to use and clean. I’ve doubled my caffeine intake and inspired a string of coworkers to also hop on the train.

  335. Vilma

    This spice rack looks so stylish in my kitchen. It comes with a lot of spice option. The stickers hold very well on the cap and it is very durable. The rotation makes it even easier to use.

  336. Mrs. Johnson

    This machine is a dream! I’ve worked with 2-4 group commercial machines throughout the years in independent stands and I’ve decided to buy this Breville for myself and my family. Let me tell you- if you don’t have experience with espresso, I can see where the reviews with frustrations can come from. Dialing in the machine is difficult at first for grind, but I found when I kept the upper burr at stock 6 and worked with fresh beans and my own old school knowledge, I produced consistent shots. Some people go as crazy as measuring their grams etc.. I am just that good I can do it all by eye and hand. Been doing it for years in WA state espresso stands. Now I will enjoy every day making coffee from home and serving it to those I love! Best investment for those who want fresh espresso at home and saving $$ but throw all that over analyzing crap out the door that some crazy espresso nuts do (no offense to those) my shots are art and buttery crema that settles slowly like a Guinness separating beautifully after being poured in its glass. Thanks Breville . Be smart with your machine, love it line it’s your child, refill the tank every time you use it, prime the machine by purging the steam wand, then the group head to prep for a shot. Those are my couple of tips for newbies apart from adjusting your grind. Cheers

  337. Dennis

    This review is for Automotive use.

    Impressed so far,but only first time use so hopefully holds up. Here’s what I like:

    It’s very small and can be stored in the glove compartment if there’s room.

    The valve screws onto the tire valve without leaking air. It’s sturdy enough to let it hang until it’s finished.

    It will shut off after preset limit is reached.

    Here’s what I don’t like:
    Very dim display. Forget trying to see it in sunlight! The good news is you can set up inside and will retain settings once turned off.
    I topped off all 4 tires, about 3-5 lbs each and the battery level dropped to two bars. So if you have major filling to do don’t expect this to last. This could be different for bikes,etc.

    You cannot use while charging and it takes over an hour to charge. Since I just got it,I cannot vouch how long a charge will last if stored for a few months,etc. If going on a road trip I would charge before leaving.

    Again,this is my impression for first time use. I will try and update after a few months but I’m impressed so far.

  338. Asia

    This machine is so beautiful, and it makes quality espresso! There is a world’s difference in the taste from the Breville Barista Express coffee vs. from the $45 machine I bought at Target.
    I spent $599 on this machine (on sale), but given the math based on how often I frequent coffee shops for a quality latte, it should actually help me save money!
    I will say, it’s louder than I expected… but most espresso machines are. When foaming milk/ using the steamer, it makes a loud pumping sound. Not a deal breaker though.
    Please note, that you can’t simultaneously steam milk and run an espresso shot at the same time. There is no dual heating chamber for that with this machine. Also not a deal breaker for me, but I did a lot of digging to read into that before I bought it and not one review mentioned that part. So, thought I’d save you some time if you’re reading reviews to find that part out. I personally didn’t want to spent 2-3x more money for that function.
    I like that it has a separate spout for just hot water if you just want a spot of tea.
    The frothing pitcher it comes with is big enough for one good-sized, 8oz mug, or two smaller-sized mugs.
    It does not come with a knock box. I bought the Breville knock box you can see in my photos and it matches the stainless steel of the machine very well.
    Overall, I’m so pleased with this espresso machine. It’s compact, beautiful, and professional quality.

  339. Irina

    We use it more 1 year (from Sep 2021) and it is exactly what we need, Nothing extra, nothing what we could miss… Perfect combination quality, speed, taste and price! A lot of our friends changed their manual coffee machines to this model.
    I like latte and possibilities to do diff size of milk foam.

    One thing what I didn’t find here is to do hot milk with foam without coffee (kids like it). But i found round way and i just switching a cut to extra cup to exclude coffee to get milk only. All my friends and my family use it every day, so cool purchase!

  340. Chrisso

    Well made, with spices, jars, funnel and numerous spice labels included. I use it every day. Much better than my previous spice rack, where the jars snapped into the plastic frame. The plastic wore out and broke on the old one. This rack is metal, and the jars slide easily into place. No stress on the frame.

  341. Js

    an awesome espresso machine for first time home baristas. overall this machine is great but has just a couple of shortcomings which are easily mitigated. first off it has a premium feel to it. no flimsy plastic or cheap construction, it feels solidly built. i got the stainless version and it fits in perfectly with the rest of my stainless kitchen.
    As for the device itself. pros: large capacity water reservoir. plenty of grind settings (ill go over my setup after listing the pros/cons) conical burr grinder (fully auto with selecting the dosing amount or manual ability) single and double wall portafilters (for both 1 and 2 shot sizes double wall for pre ground espresso-yuck) 15 bar pump, and a pressure gauge for letting you see where you are when it comes to seeing how you did on puck prep. it has the ability for programming the shot duration so you can get the perfect 1:2 ratio (18g espresso into 36g of finished product in ~25 seconds – this is what you are aiming for when dialing in your settings…)
    Now for the cons which are few: its not a double boiler system so you cant steam milk while you are pulling a shot. its not the thermojet heater which has a 3 second heat up time (seriously no biggie) the steaming power is not that strong- while it steams milk just fine its not super fast like if you go to a cafe and they steam it for all of 3 seconds and its done. it will take about 60-70 seconds to get it to microfoam and be at the right temp. (for this reason i steam milk immediately prior to pulling the shot so the espresso isnt sitting there waiting for the milk and cooling off). the manual tamper that comes with the unit is pathetic. they tell you how to use it but there i’ve found there is a steep learning curve with it as you have to have the right amount of grounds, right tamping pressure applied, AND you absolutely must have a level tamp otherwise you will get channeling and will pull an uneven and ultimately sour shot. i think i did 4 correct shots out of 15 made that were enjoyable. they were all “drinkable” but using the provided tamper only 4 of them tasted good and i would consider serving them to other people. as i said these problems are mitigated. the milk frothing taking longer than could be. boohoo deal with it honestly its really NO BIG DEAL… take your time do it right and get that pro barista microfoam and do some latte art if you want (i tried to do the art, im not artist and suck at it so i gave up lol i find it stupid and would rather put my effort into making a great tasting drink which is about to go into my stomach and not an art museum). as for being a single boiler system and not being able to pull a shot and steam milk at the same time no big deal as i said before i do the milk prior to making the espresso and thats it if you are making multiple drinks then it will just take a little bit longer which again is no big deal. if you drink straight espresso or americanos or any non milk drink this is a moot point. the puck prep is made easier by #1 weighing out 18-19g of espresso putting that into the hopper (dont fill the hopper all the way up because you expose the beans to air and oxidize them you want to store them in as much of a vaccuum as you possibly can.) #2 using 3rd party accessories prepare the puck- (CREMA BRAND dosing funnel and CREMA distribution/palm tamper tool [which you have to calibrate once]) you evenly distribute the grounds to a flat/level surface (with the distributer side) and then tamp it with the tamping side (using your palm to push down on it) once calibrated you get a perfect puck and a consistent shot every single time. you can find youtube videos on how to calibrate the distibution/tamping tool these devices make espresso idiot proof right off the bat.

    my setup:
    Illy classico whole bean…
    grind setting #5
    19g beans -> 19g ground -> 36g liquid in 26 seconds. (using single walled 2 shot PF)
    steamed half and half
    Crema dosing funnel
    Crema distribution tool (distributor set all the way at the base, tamper calibrated as per youtube videos)

    overall this is a great machine that is easy to use once it is all dialed in (which has to be done with any espresso maker btw) and it pulls consistent great tasting shots each time. as for taste start at the baseline and customize from there which is totally doable with this unit. obviouslyt you can try different beans but you will need to dial it in again because beans have different strengths etc stuff not having to do with the machine. get it, i like it, and it gets rave reviews.

  342. Marco

    The coffee grinding is perfect, the cappuccino, macciato etc are just perfect, just push the button and that’s it. I recommend you to have the frother accessory. this is the best machine for the value you are paying, also I recommend yo use the lavazza super crema coffee

  343. Philip W. Overby

    Sturdy, thirty glass containers, many labels, looks neat and nice on my counter. Very user friendly.

  344. James Barry

    I have gone through several espresso machines over the years. Started cheap and worked my way up to a fancy Breville that was still a pain to work and sometime served hot frothy drinks. I splurged for this machine and will never look back.

    * The machine is drop dead easy to use.
    * The drip pan and grounds tray is simple to empty and clean. Realize that you do need to empty if frequently as the machine startup always cleans the pipes and drops water into the pan at every power on.
    * The frother is dead simple – add milk – and go. The cappuccino is amazingly tasty. Saving me $5 a workday from the local store.
    * I have been using it for regular coffee too and replaced my Kuerig, as its as fast, cheaper per drink, better for the environment (no cups) and tastier.
    * Its so simple, power on, select the drink, select the strength and size and press go. If you don’t change settings select your drink and go.
    * I have had drinks from far more expensive machines at friends houses and this one prepares the best , in my opinion.

    My other machines were way messier, took longer and were easy to mess up the taste/flavor because of the manual steps.

    So simple to operate, simple to clean, tasty drinks. Its a perfect home espresso and coffee machine!

  345. Chardo

    UPDATE – January 2023:

    I’ve had the machine for well over 6 months now and can make a few additional observations, plus clear up some misconceptions from other reviews.

    Coffee Strength – it call comes down to what you are used to. I’ve read 1-star reviews from those who say it is too strong, and others that say it is too weak. In comparison to a K-cup, it is much stronger. In comparison to a traditional espresso machine, it is much weaker.

    Coffee Grind – I highly recommend a 3-4 grind setting (or finer). I would not wait 30-days before changing the grinder setting (that’s crazy in my mind)

    Coffee Choice – do NOT use oily beans. Highly recommend fresh medium roast beans. It is also an Espresso machine, not a coffee machine, so don’t expect the ability to choose different coffees (like a k-cup) or to make 16-oz coffees. You technically could, but you’d need to make 2-4 coffees to get that level of volume.

    Now to be fair, while it is super convenient, it is not going to give a quality of espresso similar to a semi-automatic or manual machine. It will likely be much more consistent, but consistently ‘average’ vs. what you can get from a machine like a Breville Barista Touch/Pro/Express (or other semi-automatic). Ideally, you get a 2:1 ratio of coffee in about 25-35 seconds. That is, 18g of ground coffee should yield 36g of espresso in 25-35 seconds on my Breville. On the Philips, it’s 10-14g of ground coffee yielding 30-40g of coffee in about 15 seconds. Clearly, that will result in a less than ideal espresso. I wish there was a way to slow down the extraction like some superautomatics.

    Reliability – no issues so far. Simple weekly cleaning (rinsing and lubrication of the brew group) per the instructions is all that is needed.

    ————-
    I’ve wanted a good espresso machine for a long time and I have experimented with many before this Philips 3200 (and then later traded in to get a 5400 with more features including ability to make double shots for all drinks).

    First, I tried the manual – definitely cheaper, but also more of a hassle with lots of bad shots, some great shots and a bit of mess each time. Not for me.

    I also tried Nespresso and for work, it does a great job as there is no clean up (provided you are not using the milk frother). But it is not cheap – machines are $300-$700 (or more) and the coffee is 70-85-cents each, meaning a double shot latte is pushing $2+ milk, which can add up over time.

    So – I looked into fully automatic machines and for the longest time I have wanted one, but they are VERY pricey (many are $2k+) and also require extensive maintenance / cleaning.

    I mean, Jura, which makes some great machines, suggests that after each milk drink, you run a rinse & cleaning cycle. This is a bit excessive, but certainly at least once a day you need to do it and it involves getting a tablet, some water, running the hose through the solution… no thank you.

    This Philips is a game changer in that regard. The milk jug is stand-alone meaning there is no ‘hose’ that the milk runs through, and it doesn’t go into the machine at all. It is all managed via the frothing jug, which comes apart in two (well, three parts including the lid) making it super easy to rinse off. That’s it.

    In terms of making good coffee, I followed some videos online that suggested adjusting the grind right away to 3 or 4 and it made a world of difference. Immediately the pucks became much less soupy and more solid.

    In terms of the touch screen, it is pretty basic, but in all honesty, for what you are wanting to make, it does a great job. You can customize the espresso strength, ml, and shots and also adjust how much milk you want.

    I can’t speak to longevity yet, but so far, it is doing great and I’m loving this machine more than I even thought I would.

  346. Dave

    This little guy really impressed me. I originally bought this because of its small size and to fill up our bike tires. However, I then tried it our vehicles, a Tacoma and a 4 Runner, all 4 tires. Pressure on the unit was set @ 35 psi for both vehicles. Initial pressure readings on all tires were around 27.5 and 28.5 psi. Startup of the unit was easy and straight forward. Within I’d say 10-15 min the tires were at 35 psi. Now as far as how far did I get on a full charge, well that was around 3 tires, then had to go in for a recharge. I let it go to 1 bar and then recharged it.
    Also note that the nozzle and hose does get a bit hot getting it up to pressure so be forewarned when you go to take it off. Not that this is a defect in the product but rather it’s pushing a ton of air thru a tiny opening. 🙂 All in all, I’d recommend this little beast as it does the job well done!

  347. J. McVey

    We are quite happy with this Espresso machine. If you have a big family then you’ll be refilling the water reservoir fairly often as it really isn’t that big. Perhaps 5-6 cups of the size we make.

    It makes great coffee and we also love the milk frother for lattes. We have moved to decaffeinated beans so we can enjoy a cup in the evening as well. Here’s a simple iced coffee method we love during the summer: fill a cup about half full of crushed ice, add a little caramel syrup, put your cup under the spout and have this machine dispense one or two servings of Espresso into it. Add a bit of chilled milk and stir. Fantastic!

    Some complain the beans don’t move down to the grinder quite well enough, but in truth that is such a minor issue. Make it a habit to check the beans when you check the water.

    We highly recommend this reliable machine.

  348. Michele Miranda

    The only thing I didn’t like is that you get a few extra blank stickers to add a spice but the stickers are black. I think they should have included a white marker so we can actually use the stickers.

  349. Mark S

    I bought this product hoping that it would work great with my bicycle. I recently had a double flat tire occurrence and was a bit disappointed in my small, hand air pump. Just didn’t quite cut it any more. So instead of investing in another hand pump I thought I would try this product.

    I charged it to max right out of the box and then used it to reseat the back tube on the bike just to make sure it would be set for the next ride. Removed the tire from the frame, used a bike tool to get the edge clear, used the provided connect line to let the air out of the tube, reset everything, and reattached the connect line and product.

    Set it for the psi pressure I wanted and let it do it’s job… within just a few minutes and the pressure up to 72 psi from being initially at 6 psi. Then used it to just add a few psi to the front tire. Amazing. It is a bit noisy but who cares? I then wanted to see how much recharging it would need… Barely anything… still on 4 bars. It’s going in my saddlebag! It’s pretty lightweight and anyone with saddlebags could carry it.

    The connect line is a bit short but I would recommend connecting to the bike’s valve first (air will escape from inner tube) and then connect the device to the connect line and set it to go. It was a bit easier.

    Easy to set auto feature to get it to the wanted psi pressure. Unit stopped faithfully at the right setting.

    Highly recommend for anyone who bikes.

  350. caroline Lott

    This was my first espresso machine type purchase. I am coming from traditional coffee makers and Keurigs….This machine was totally worth the money. I’m still learning the intricacies, but overall it’s easy to use and makes great coffee. The automatic milk froth component is very nice to have on mornings when we are in a rush. I do wish there was an attachment where you could froth your own if you wanted to do so, but most mornings I would not have enough time anyway. My husband drinks decaf so I leave the hopper filled with my choice of caffeinated bean and he uses the compartment for ground coffee. Works great for our purposes. I wish the maker would accommodate a larger tumbler, more pre ground coffee and had more programmable features. Although there are a few minor areas for improvement, overall I am very satisfied and would purchase again.

  351. D. Duong

    Love this machine. Have only had it a few weeks, but we are highly satisfied after replacing our Keurig and Nespresso machines for this one. I’m glad to get out of the pods and using fresh coffee beans. Love the customization and how easy this machine is to maintain. It has self cleaning, which uses up water so you end up having to fill the tank more than you’d think, but that is a fair trade off. Couple points to keep in mind if you are considering this machine:

    – Your first several cups will be watered down and undrinkable. The pucks will be a soggy mess. Do not get alarmed and rest assured this is just temporary as the machine gets broken in.

    – I found the coffee a little weak for my liking so I adjusted the grinder to level 4 and it’s much tastier now (perhaps some of that is the machine also dialing in a better cup as it’s still breaking in).

    – You can program the quantity of the Large size for any of the drinks.

    – The manual doesn’t tell you the drink sizes, but a couple of the more Helpful reviews tell you the size for every combo (thank you!)

    – For purists, the milk is always dispensed first. Doesn’t matter to me, but could be a concern for others.

    – The temperature isn’t very hot, even at the highest setting. This is more of a concern for the milk based drinks.

    – You can’t make a double of the milk based drinks like you can for espresso/coffee/americano. I end up adding in a single shot of expresso if I need a little extra jolt, which is not a terrible inconvenience, but is an additional step.

  352. Kristina

    I love the look of this rotating spice rack organizer, it matches well with my appliances. I purchased the one with 20 jars and the marble décor. I liked the fact the jars were empty and I could fill them with my spices. (I ordered one from a previous company and I didn’t know they sent you the spices inside the jars already) Needless to say, I returned that item and purchased this one. This helped me de-clutter the chaos that was my spice cabinet.
    The jars do come with blue protective tape on the lids so just remember to remove that piece before placing your stickers.

  353. Randy

    Who ever approved this machine and placed that sticker on top of where the coffee beans go should be fired. Spent 30 min under hot water, rubbing and scratching it off. The sticker on the frother peels right off, no idea why the same adhesive was not used. It really delayed my enjoyment of the
    new machine.
    UPDATE: The coffee/froth is very good. Caution ref. Dark roast beans. Not mentioned anywhere, but several post warn grinder can not handle.

  354. Girlia

    Love the machine, that is, 2 years in and there was a pinging sound inside. You need to take the brew group out (that big central part that does everything except grind the coffee) every week or so to clean up all the coffee grounds and oil a few parts. Not hard, just messy, but doable. This time I took the brew group out and found a broken wire spring hanging there, disconnected from one side. It has a screw on both sides so I figured I could take the screw out and fix it. No, it can’t be done because the wire goes from the obvious to the inside somewhere obscure. Not fixable. Our local coffee machine fix it person said $125 to fix it, as he can’t buy a new brew group. I looked online for a replacement brew group – none on the Philips site, none in the US at all. We ended up buying one from a seller in England for $100 and it will arrive in a week. It’s hard to believe Philips wouldn’t sell them in the US. But at least it’s on the way.

    Wow, I’m pretty impressed with this little gadget. When I first got it, there was some battery life but I charged it for a few hours to make sure it was full. Then, the kids and I tested it by pumping up a basketball and two soccer balls. It was a little loud but worked well on the balls. The next day, I brought it with me to my sister’s house about 45 minutes away for a birthday party. One of my dad’s tires had a flat so I tried it out on his tire. It started out at 3.0 psi and we got it up to 35.0 psi in about 15-20 minutes. It took about 15-20 seconds to pump up .5 psi (no timer, just counting in my head). The battery life was enough to get one tire from flat to inflated, it was just about out of battery by the time we were finished. The battery indicator was helpful with that. (Remember that I had already used it the night before to pump up 3 balls, so I wonder if it would have taken less time on a full battery.) My dad was impressed but felt it took a while to use compared to his big, noisy air compressor he uses at home. Also, the tube that connects the air compressor to the tire is quite short, I would have liked another 3 inches or so on it. I held the air compressor for a few minutes while in use (but too much vibrating for comfort) before I decided to prop it up with my sandals.

    Overall, after using this product for a few days, I am impressed! For emergencies, nothing can beat it; it’s portable, convenient, does the job, and affordable. I love that there are preset modes you can select from (car, motorcycle, bicycle, ball, and even a custom mode to create your own psi setting) which makes it super user friendly. It also shuts off on its own when it reaches the set number, so you should be nearby to monitor but don’t have to baby it. Excellent product! I was praising its uses to my siblings at the party. I will definitely be purchasing another one for my husband’s car and gifting one to my dad. Great buy!

  356. Evan Briggs

    Easy to put spices in jar with the attached funnel. Love that it comes with labels and extras. Spins and looks nice on counter.

  357. Rob F

    The users guide is fairly detailed regarding all of the programmable adjustments you can make, as are the cleaning and maintenance instructions. This machine is so easy to use, we have had it for 2 months now, and no issues at all. Be sure to read the entire users guide, there are a lot of things and adjustments that are not obvious if you don’t read the manual. But, once it’s set up, it’s fantastic.

    It brews a fantastic expresso, cappuccino, americano and coffee. Really easy to maintain and to use, we brew at least 4 drinks a day.

    I wish the water tank was bigger, we fill it every day for getting 4-5 12 oz drinks. But, the space it takes up on the countertop is minimal, so there is that tradeoff.

    I’d buy another one if I thought I needed another one :>)

  358. Anna Nash

    Pretty, sturdy, looks more expensive than it is, glass bottles, comes nicely packaged, only downside is the labels are strange, like flour and baking soda are listed among other weird things that I definitely would not use this item for, but they do give you a few blank labels to write your own.

  359. Sarianna Saberwolf

    I just about drove myself insane trying to decide which cappucino machine to buy… but I’m confident I made the right choice. The clincher for me was that this gave the option of paying in 5 monthly installments without any interest, and that made it possible for me to get a machine that would have been out of my price range otherwise. I worked for 5 years as a barista at Starbucks, and had the first iteration of the Starbucks Sirena machine.. which was okay, but not nearly as good as this one. The steam wand on this Breville does a great job making dense foam that supports caramel and other goodies; and so far, having a built-in burr grinder has been fantastic — although maybe I should note that if you were expecting the machine to grind what it needs and then produce a shot, it doesn’t do that. There isn’t any incorporated functionality between grinder and espresso machine; it’s essentially just a separate burr grinder and cappucino machine that happen to be inhabiting the same body. I’m a little worried that the grinder will break and getting it fixed while be a nuisance (more built-in devices means more that can go wrong), but I reckon I’ll cross that bridge when I come to it. I’m super impressed with the espresso this machine produces — I’ve seen reviews complaining that it took a period of experimentation before learning how to use the settings to make a great shot, but I found that this machine produced exceptional shots right out of the gate with the first settings I tried. Granted, this might be because I have had a lot of experience working with cappucino machines and their settings… my first try might have been somewhat better informed than a first attempt by someone who has never used one of these machines before. Still, I think this machine wouldn’t be hard for a committed beginner to learn; its ubiquity means that there are loads of instructional and tips videos on YouTube that feature this exact machine. I only have one more payment to make before I’ve paid this machine off, and by my estimation it has already nearly paid for itself in money saved by not buying overpriced lattes retail. Highly, highly recommend!!!

    I cook a lot and needed an elegant but efficient counter-top spice rack. This one works perfect for me. It has 20 bottles vice the 16 that most have, and looks great.

    Absolutely love this. We never had much counter space until we bought our new home. So having this is awesome and keep everything looking nice and organized is to fill and clean

    I am a long time user of espresso and am switching from Nespresso Latissima Pro. I was looking for new flavors, no capsule and easy cleanup. This machine delivers all of that and more. Made few espresso shots and cappuccino cups and overall very happy. I started with Lavazza crema beans for espresso machine. Is critical u use dry beans no oil for best grind on prevent clogging the grinder. Overall very pleased will see how it goes over time.

    Product came damaged but the seller had excellent customer service and was able to help me resolve the issue. When I first opened this, I was disappointed to see blue lids. Didn’t realize the blue on the lids was a removable cover to protect them from scratches.

    Giving up coffee shops these past two years like so many of us, I’ve missed that perfect latte I used to get daily at Peet’s. I’ve experimented with a few different machines, but realized I’m not the type of consumer who wants to measure, pound, level, count, etc just to try to figure out a good, reliable drink. This machine is so simple after setup, has a few a strength adjust and volume adjust for each drink type, and does so consistently and simply once configured. I used the Peet’s whole bean roast, Major Dickenson’s, I bought from Costco to compare to my other machines. The flavor comes out smoother and less bitter, especially compared to my moka pot.

    The latte go attachment is very easy to clean, most the time I just rinse a few times with warm water. The milk is actually steamed and properly foamed unlike the countertop type machines that do heat and whisking, this uses the actual steam from the machine, but you don’t have to count or do anything but pour milk to the right line. Though I thought I would use this mostly for mochas and lattes, the americano is so good I’ve split my daily coffees about 50/50.

    I’d definitely buy the machine again with a few notes: the estimates on when to empty it and how often it needs water are definitely based on the espresso drinks like the latte – the coffee setting and the americano require more frequent filings. And you have to empty the grounds container closer to every 8 drinks when doing doubles, but it is very easy to do so, and no grounds all over my counter from tamping individual servings. Definitely a lovely at home all in one machine.

    This item makes it very easy to visually see our spice collection and with the nice labels I keep them in alphabetical order. The “shaker” holes work just fine but I do keep a finger on the shaker cover just to make certain it does stay in place during the shaking activity. And, while the shaker cover is easy to remove and reinstall, I do wish it had a pour feature.

    I love my spice rack. It serves it’s purpose. I love how convenient it is and easy to access. I have more room in my cabinet now that I have my spice rack. I’ll be ordering another one real soon.

  367. Free Man

    It arrived this morning just in time for our first cup of the day. The packaging is very professional, although they use styrofoam, which is a shame. The quick start guide was excellent. i was able to make my first espresso in maybe 15 minutes from the time I took the machine out of the box. It takes a little practice to make good espresso. After 6 cups (not all for me), I feel like I’m getting the hang of it.

    Convenience & Speed
    This is not a “press a button, get an espresso” machine. There’s a bit of prep work and some cleanup after. But I think I might actually save a minute or two vs. making brewed coffee with my Chemex.

    Size & Weight
    It is quite light and fits well on my little kitchen stand (see photo). In fact, it’s so light that it moves when I crank on the brew basket, so I have to use two hands to secure the machine. Bigger feet could help, I suppose.

    Functionality
    I’m not an espresso expert, so this machine has more than enough dials to suit my needs. The grinder works well and you can adjust the quantity and granularity. The pressure gauge never quite got into the “espresso range” for me, but that’s probably because I’m not packing my basket full enough.

    Flavor
    I’m amused that the rating includes a “flavor” component, because that’s more about the 1) the operator, and 2) the beans. As an operator, yeah, miles to go. I had some old beans in the pantry so I used them. I have better beans on order, and I’m confident that they will yield better espresso (although what I made today was not bad).

    Milk Steamer
    It takes maybe 30 seconds to come up to full steam but the pressure is good. I like the optional water setting to warm the cup, make tea, etc.

    I usually don’t buy extended warranties, but I did for this purchase. I’m hoping I won’t have to use it, but there are quite a few components in this thing and I’ve never owned a Breville product before. So far, I’m pleased. I think I’m getting pretty good value for the money. If that should change, I will update this review.

  368. nicole

    Exactly as described I absolutely love it it holds quite a bit of seasonings in the jars .the only downfall is it comes with an assortment of seasoning names but most of which I don’t use but it does come with some blank stickers but I’m not sure what to use to make it able to be seen since the stickers are black .

  369. Patty

    I have to preface this review by pointing out that I’m not a coffee guru. Not an expert barista. Not schooled in the art of espressos. So with that in mind, take this as pure opinion from a frugal consumer who loves coffee house coffees, cappuccinos and lattes, but hates coffee house prices.

    I bought this machine because over the years I’ve purchased coffee makers, moka pots, etc., trying to up my coffee game but never quite getting the same result as those coffee house drinks. The closest I’ve come so far is the moka pot, but it’s still not quite there yet. Granted, those coffee houses have espresso machines that cost thousands of dollars. Hey! I like coffee as much as anyone, but not THAT much. I refuse to pay that amount, even if I have the means. It’s not how much you make. It’s how much you keep. Right? Anyway, I chose the Breville Barista Express because 1) I love their products and they’ve been reliable for me over the years. And 2) this model has enough power and features at a reasonable price for someone who is no expert. I bought this model for $599.99 + tax on a Black Friday sale (not a huge one, but still) because it’s the only amount I could stomach to pay for a machine like this. Plus it was my Christmas gift to me. I have to say that it’s been totally worth it! I suspect even those who are anal about their coffee would love this machine as well.

    My first cappuccino on this thing was not great. In fact, it was horrid! It may have had something to do with the fact that I dislike reading instructions and barely made it through the quick startup guide. When will I ever learn? But I have the patience of a five year old on Christmas morning. I couldn’t wait to get to it. So, after that first disappointing cup I watched a few videos on YouTube. Fine. More than a few. And I finally thumbed through the manual. The videos were more helpful when it came to creating the best cup. All the tips were valuable. And gradually I saw improvement until I got to what seemed like a good cappuccino. So far so good. But still not quite there yet. So I followed another tip and got better coffee beans. Oh dear! Now comes more tweaking. Because when you change to another bean the entire process starts over. Until finally, the cup I wanted and craved. Wow! What a difference.

    I’m improving with each cup and small tweak. The grind, the amount, the tamp pressure, the amount of milk (or almond milk or oat milk), the amount of sugar, cinnamon or no cinnamon, etc. I had no idea how much actually went into a good cup of coffee. But I’m appreciating it more and more. And I’m getting spoiled. So much so that my other coffee machines (standard, Keurig, moka pot) are all taking a back seat and getting less use. Like none, lately. The other thing I appreciate more is the local barista in those coffee houses. I may not frequent them as much in the future. But I don’t think I’ll ever complain about the price again. I will gladly tip the barista. And I will simply enjoy the fruits of their labor.

    KEY POINTS: The learning curve is real. Have patience. The end result is worth the effort and the cost of this machine. The absolute best tip I can give you is to wait the full 15-20 minutes it takes for all the elements of your machine to heat up before making your cup. It makes a huge difference if the coffee beans and portafilter are warm, but especially the water. Duh! The other tips are to read the manual and watch video tips from Breville and legit baristas. It all helps. Education is always good.

    This espresso machine is a great buy for both the novice and the more experienced barista. It will pay for itself in the long run.

    Now I’ll go make myself a cappuccino. Happy 2022! #PeaceOnEarth #ItsTheLittleThings #Enjoy

    When I ordered this coffee maker I have to say there was some nostalgia associated with it. When I was a teenager I took a trip to amasterdam. The airbnb I stayed at had a phillips automated coffee maker. It just made black coffee, but I fell in love with it. Of course when I returned home to find out not only was it way to expensive for a 19 year old kid, but it wasn’t even sold in the states.

    Seven years later I stumbled upon this machine. Phillips had left an impression on me that this machine lived up to. It’s almost prefect. The coffee that comes out of this machine is wonderful. It’s easy to maintenance, but the water reservoir has to be filled every day with just one coffee drinker in our home. It’s really only capable of making three cups of coffee per-fillup. I’m still giving this machine a five star review because I absolutely love it. Just be aware that it chugs water during its self cleaning.

  371. Edward R.

    One of the best coffee machines I owned. Had this model for well over a year now, and it still works as good as when I purchased it.

    For reference, I had Thermador and Miele before, about 7 and 10 years ago. Both are in much higher price range than this one, but this one makes better coffee than what you would get at Starbucks in my opinion. I like the manual option of inserting the fresh coffee grind instead of automatic, and that makes the difference. I use the single filter shown in the picture.

    There are a ton of other more detailed reviews here, so I am not going to waste yours or mine time. One improvement that I made is cutting off the groove from one side of the Main tray. Every time you take the main tray out to wash, it catches the smaller tray for tool storage, that you never use, and it gets annoying. You need a very sharp nice to cut it off (your choice, obviously), similar to the one I showed in the picture. BE VERY CAREFUL while performing this to not cut yourself. Use common sense.

    All the best! Enjoy your coffee!

  372. Britt Coates

    This machine works like a charm. Super easy to use. The milk steamer works amazingly and very simple to use and clean. The coffee is extremely smooth. The machine even empties the old grounds for you into an easy to empty and clean bin that you simply rinse under the faucet. Very happy with this machine.

  373. natalie taillepierre

    Ever Since I received the spice rack, it has helped me tremendously. It’s nice to have all of my spices in one rack and able to turn to see what I need

  374. Sally Orlowski

    We love our new counter spice rack. Lids seal great on the jars. Swivels easily. Stainless steel looks great and easy to wipe off.

  375. A purchaser

    Edit #2: It took a week to get the O ring replacement from the company. They requested a picture of the broken ring. The machine has worked great for over a year since the replacement.

    Edit: 2 months into use the machine stopped brewing. After follows instructions and reading all possible troubleshooting advice in the manual and on the internet, we discover that an o-ring has broken and the machine isn’t pumping the espresso as it should. We are trying to find the o-ring replacement on our own without ordering through Philips-Saeco so that the fix doesn’t take so long. I wonder if this is what happened to other who said their machine stopped working? Really disappointing for a two-month-old expensive appliance.

    I was scared that this would be complicated when I read other interviews. It couldn’t be easier to clean and maintain, considering what it does. Just read the manual, which isn’t thought either. The lattego attachment makes foamed and steamed milk easily, and you can use the preground coffee setting to make the steamed milk by itself by stopping before the machine dispenses water. This machine is awesome. Order Lavazza super crema espresso beans for lower cost and great-tasting espresso.

  376. Brandi

    It’s so beautiful! I love it! No broken jars when arrived. I had a label for every single one of my spices.
    my only complaint is that I actually have more spices then I realized and could have kept filling jars! I filled the jars with the spices I use weekly.
    I highly recommend. The quality is great, and it is such a beautiful addition to my kitchen.

  377. JLF

    Im a pretty simple guy and was happy with the Ninja coffee maker. I truley try to make my wife happy by buying her what she wants (not working) and she really was convinced that latte and espresso drinking was her new thing. I bought this Phillips device because I read that tbe cleaning was easy (no “tubes” to worry about), had a cermaic coffee grinding head which is durable, a milk frother** that automaticlly integrates the milk foam into the pre-selected coffee drinks that require it and had a fairly small lhysical footprint and a relativley small price tag. I love it. The wife js back to just makibg the standard cup of coffee, which is a pre-select option, but I am a daily lattee fiend with an occasional plain espresso shot. The Ninja had a milk frother but it didnt integrate the froth into the coffee drink like the Phillips one does and the froth wasnt warmed up (unless you warmed the milk on you own). I also love how I/we can broaden the coffee choice by purchasing whole beans and all you do is dump the beans iinto the hopper and your done. The machibe also truley makes espresso correctly by compressing the coffee grounds into a “puck” while pushibg coffee through. Beinf able to make lattes. Americanos and machiatos so easily has made me a daily fan of these drinks.

    BIGGEST CONS – for this model you cant just froth milk which to me is crazy. The volume of coffee the machine produces for just a normal cup of coffee is small so I have to choose the “two cup” coffee setting and then run it again for a “single” cup. You can easily adjust the volume of eater, intensity of coffee and amount of froth from the preset amounts but the machine should revert back to the preselects after the drink is made. This would make snense because you may make an odd adjustment for many reasons and then forget what the preselects were.

    Thanks

  378. Alina

    Comes with so many sheets of stickers that you can find any spice on there to label your containers. I feel so much more organized now without having to take half my spices out to find one I need in the cabinet. Adds a nice touch to your kitchen décor as well

  379. Cheyenne

    Good quality, no jars broken, 144 stickers! I was surprised to see it had a granite type design on top and bottom, but I love it !

    if you are considering this machine, I would like to share some of my experiences with you, pre-owner and new buyer. You might knew those tricks if you’ve read the manual.
    my Little Summary of “Press and hold for 3 seconds” with the following buttons under “Power Off” are able to change some hidden feature settings …. suits EP3241/54
    1) Aroma = Water Hardness Soft1>Hard4.
    2) Quantity = Water Temperature Low>default>High.
    3) Aqua = Activate Aqua-Filter.
    4) Calc = Auto-off timer 15/30*/60/180mins.
    5) Espresso = Restore factory setting.
    6) Coffee = On/off panel Beep Sound.

    this LatteGo automatic espresso machine is super easy to make cappuccino under 3 mins from power On. and Super easy to clean up too. It’s make noise but not really loud enough to wake anybody in the morning. It’s gave me really fast, tasty and creamy espresso as always.
    if you knew how to use “Bypass” feature … “Press and hold 3’s ” on the “Pre-ground/Aroma” to bypass the grinder on Latte Macchiato can easily get “Hot Milk only” and same way to get “Foam Milk only” on Cappuccino.
    so far, for the past 5 months I just have to refill coffee beans and fill up the water tank at the Front side when it’s empty.
    Do “Maintains it” just take a minute to drain the drip tray and empty the bin after every use, and also took about 5-10mins to rinse the brew unit weekly.
    Wait 5 seconds to “Reset the built-in counter” when took out the Drip tray under Power On as always. Otherwise it’s will keep LED remind you to empty the bin after every 8-10 shots.
    The coffee spout is adjustable to fit most travel mug not taller than 16cm which is big plus to me.
    And all beverages are able to program it’s own quantity size from 50-250ml but at least larger than the default size. all details is on the manual.
    be cautious with the Aqua-filters, it’s needs to be fully filled water and lets bobbles completely out before installation, otherwise you may get trouble with the water intake cause by the air block.
    and the running cost, according to the manual that Aqua-Filter needs to be replace every 3 months or every 95L of water ( >1,000 cups), It’s means I need to replace Aqua-filters x4 per year. That’s about 25cents per day for Filters and each shot of the 10g coffee beans cost about10-20cents. Total is just Less than $2 per day for me to make 6-8 shots espresso daily. (I like Melitta and Lavazza beans both not oily)
    Lastly, For the past 5 months I did once filter change already and did descaling once just follow with the Philips you-tube instructions step by step easily. the machine still works very great.

    Tasted the coffee made by this machine, gave my keurig away and never looked back. There’s no contest! If you enjoy your coffee as much as I do, and I drink 3-4 cups a day, you must invest in one of these. There are fancier models out there, but I’m one of those that likes perfect balance between efforts require and results. Sure, there’s always room for the coffee to be even better and foam could be frothier, but if it’s too complicated, I will give up and won’t use it. This machine hits the sweet spot, and everyone in my family, wife and teenage kids, makes coffee with it everyday. Fewer trips to Starbucks paid for the machine in no time! After using it for 7 months, the machine suddenly won’t make a full cup of coffee. I thought it was the hard water in my house affected the machine, tried descaling but it didn’t help. Call customer service, very courteous and professional people. At first they couldn’t figure it out either, but one of their experts eventually figured out that it was caused by a defective part: one of the two o-rings in the machine. For good measure, they sent me replacement for both o-rings. The parts arrived in timely manner. Fixed the problem right away. Communications from customer service were great. The whole process was painless, got the parts within a week at no cost to me. Now I am back to enjoying great full cup of coffee!

    I couldn’t be happier with the Breville BES870XL Expresso machine. My husband and I were Starbuck addicts for years. We finally decided to shift to making our own at home and through much research I came across the Barista. I was amazed at how lengthy and enthusiastic the reviews were so we took the leap of faith, even though it was a bit pricey compared to other machines. However, we have not been disappointed. Not only does it make great lattes, but they are even better than the ones we were getting at Starbucks all these years. Some of the reviews said that it would take awhile to tweak it for a good cup, but our very first cup was excellent. It is a very well designed machine with the built in grinder and steamer. Although the steamer jug provided is sufficient to steam milk for one latte at a time, I did go ahead and invest in a 32 oz steamer jug so that I can froth enough for two lattes at a time. It also seems that using the larger cup with more milk makes for a creamier and lighter latte. We started with the 1 cup filter basket as recommended, but now use the 2 cup basket which is perfect for a venti size latte. The Breville is easy to maintain, clean, replenish water and beans. I absolutely adore this machine and look forward every morning to making our delicious lattes after our daily workouts. We have been using 2% milk to keep calories down, and it is still amazing. If you are a discriminating latte drinker, this machine is for you!!

    I had a different espresso machine for 20 years. Getting a good double shot of espresso was a bit of magic. This machine let me dial everything in so it’s perfect every time. It seems expensive to buy but it’s as much an investment as anything. If you stop by an espresso stand everyday on your way to work it’s more than paid for in a year. For me the deciding factor was time. I hate waiting in line. It takes me under 5 minutes to make a mocha. That’s less time than I spend sitting in line at the coffee shop. Let alone driving out of my way to go past one. And I get it exactly the way I want it every time. I get to purchase organic coffee from small producers I want to support. I use cacao powder instead of industrial chocolate syrup. On the weekends I enjoy coffee with friends on my patio. I am a fan of Breville. I have their convection oven that I love. Don’t get caught up on the price, it’s the value that’s important. If you buy a cheap one, your total cost will be higher when you end up replacing it with a good one. The only thing you’ll have to show for it is years of drinking crappy coffee.

    Update: it’s September 4,2023. It’s still working perfectly. I always use Kicking Horse Espresso beans. I have never had to change any of the settings on the machine. I am good about cleaning it when the light comes on and I use filtered water.

  384. alex koop

    I was very hesitant to order such a pricey little machine, but man has it been worth it! Warched it for almost a year go from $1000+ to out of stock, finally nabbed it on sale for $699. So easy to use.. wake up, turn it on, in 30 seconds it has cleaned itself and ready to make your drink of choice at the press of a button. So easy to clean. Can adjust cup size/liquid amount as well as amount of coffee grounds. Have never used it with ground coffee(only whole beans), but it does have the option. Only complaint would be there is no travel mug size or the fact my travel mug is too tall to fit under the spout and if you remove the tray to make room, you cannot run machine without tray in place. But I still manage and not a deal breaker for me. Definitely recommend and have not been to caribou or Starbucks since I got this machine!

  385. Tony F.

    I’ll keep it shirt because I could truly go on for some time about every thing that I like or didn’t like about this purchase.

    Pros:
    Best. Coffee. Ever. or espresso 🙂 – the quality of brewing in this machine is phenomenal. And if your deciding on buying a new Kurig or investing in this…you won’t regret it. Keep in mind it’s a lot more to do than just dropping a cup in and pressing a button. But the pay off is so worth it. Again if you’re able to deal with the process the outcome is worrh the effort.

    Easy – grind beans, pat down (or don’t), brew. Yes if you want creama you’ll need the grind finer and if you have a wife like mine who prefers coarse ground over my fine ground there will be mistakes 🙂 (not my fault she drinks coffee made for normal ground people) that’s why there’s a knob you turn boom creama turn boom regular coffee.

    3. Variety – vanilla beans cool espresso beans cool mix beans cool the bean cup can giveth and taketh away. Meaning you can switch out beans whenever you want because the cup detaches, pit different beans in or whatever. No more multi pack of k cups you’ll never drink but it was cheaper to buy in bulk.

    Cons:

    Gotta admit there’s only a few that aren’t really cons, they’re just the reality of having a “machine” vs. 1 button brewing.

    1. Cleaning – you gitta do it and once you do the first one it’s not a big deal but I’d be lying if I told you I DIDN’T watch a few YouTube videos to get confident on what to do.the included instructions are…informative. Watch the videos save your stress.

    2. Size – cup size to be precise. From the pic notice your standard coffee mug under the thing where your coffee comes out (not trying to impress you with my knowledge and terminology of every part of this thing) but standard mug I press button coffee goes in, large mug I need to use ANOTHER cup or an espresso mug to get my espresso (or coffee) and then pour it in my normal Monday morning late coffee cup. Again, not a big deal but just know that 2 cup mug isn’t fitting under extractor.

    3. Water tank – not that it’s small and not that it matters if you have it sitting on a counter NOT underneath a cabinet.but you’ll notice we have ours on a lazy susan so that we can spin machine around fill with water and spin back. It was a few weeks of lifting machine pulling it out taking stuff off the top of it emptying tray to put water in that made us go that route. If it’s under a cabinet consider that. The lazy Susan spinning while lock g in extractor took some getting used to but it works.

    That’s it I won’t go on because anything else would be nit-picking in my opinion.

    Oh last thing price. Just a $100 less and this is a no Brainerd but that last $100 made us think hard about a new kurig or nespresso machine or this. Find a sale or wait for the price reduction it’ll make it easier to click buy.

  386. Kai Cedeño

    After researching for months I ordered this unit with much excitement. After following the step by step setup guide I was immediately concerned by the setup step when hardly any water came out.

    Well – hardly any coffee came out when setup was complete. I’ve gone through all troubleshooting steps without success.

    Frustrating and disappointing.

    I’m a bit of a coffee connoisseur. I’ve tasted some of the best cups of coffee in independently owned coffee shops Australia and New Zealand. So long as you put some good coffee beans and have your settings correct -this machine will make an excellent cappuccino, latte and Americano. I will admit, however, that the espresso is not as good as the Jura. My neighbor owns the Jura, which is supposed to be the gold standard for espresso machines. While his Jura makes espresso, it doesn’t really matter to me because the espresso that I make gets mixed into milk (I don’t drink shots of pure espresso). This machine is also way easier to clean out the milk pitcher as compared to the Jura which requires the use of a hose. I’ve had this machine for about 4 months now and zero issues -it makes a cappuccino in 3 minutes. 1 minute to warm up. 1 minute to froth the milk. 1 minute to grind and make espresso. 30 seconds to rinse out the milk frothing cup.

  388. Candace

    To me, there’s a middle ground between great quality and decent price and this machine does that. Granted, its more expensive than most espresso machines but the quality is there every time. I bought my machine in November 2020 and it took me some time to find the perfect grind settings and grind amount (it comes with recommendations, but I found settings that work best for me) but once I did, I don’t think I ever have a bad cup. The trick is in the beans you choose. Cheap beans = bad tasting. Decent-great beans = great tasting. I’ll add the beans I use at the bottom for those who are interested in a decent price. But I’ll talk about a few minor cons.
    Cons
    1) It takes time to get used to the machine (watch some youtube videos and you’ll figure it out)
    2) the milk steamer doesn’t have a thermometer (I bought my own, burnt milk can also ruin a cup of coffee)
    3) The instructions seem to be from a previous model where a couple of changes were made – most notably the tablet cleaning process is a bit different
    4) It comes with a lot, but a cleaning towel for the milk steamer would have been great. I can obviously use my own towel that works, but as you’ll see some fabric doesn’t work so well at cleaning.

    Overall, like many things on the expensive side, it takes some time to understand the system, but its great/consistent in the long-run. I don’t foresee any mechanical issues in the future, but the product support is there as well!

    My beans recommendations: Lavazza Caffe Espresso Italiano Whole Bean Coffee Blend, Medium Roast, 2.2-Pound Bag (Pack of 2)

    I love the Breville Barista Express. We make 4 or 5 double shot lattes every day. We have been doing that since we got it in Nov 2018. The machine still looks and performs like new over 2 years later. It also lets you know when to clean or descale it. I don’t have to try to remember the maintenance. This will make it last a long time.

    There is a bit of a learning curve to get the grind size and volume set right, but once that is done, there is no need to mess with it unless you change coffee beans.

    The steamer does a great job, too. That also takes a bit of practice. But I can now make latte art like hearts and rosettas.

    We love this thing so much that, if we leave on a long trip and we are driving, we take it with us! We have set it up in several hotel rooms and all our family comes to our room in the morning for coffee instead of going to Starbucks.

    I did get a few accessories. These include a Knock-box to dump the used grounds, a small rubber bar mat to catch excess grounds and provide a soft surface to press the grounds, some clear double-wall glasses so you can see the coffee, and a bunch of cloths to catch water from the steamer wand and to clean the wand.

    Bottom line, this is an excellent purchase. It is worth every penny. I highly recommend it and would buy it again.

    Except for the loud noise, this small nifty machine is amazing. Haven’t been to Starbucks since we made this purchase. If you are thinking about it, I would recommend go for it.

    I have no experience with anything other than normal coffee pots but decided to treat myself to this Espresso machine as a reward for quitting drinking alcohol and I am so happy I did. I have had it a month now and have used it multiple times a day everyday I have had it and have not had any problems. This is extremely easy to use and set up but the cleaning is the best think about this in my opinion. Clean up is so easy and maintenance minimal.

    Let me be clear, this is a BIG purchase for me so I was nervous about it. I am a single working dad and I take spending this kind of money very seriously so I did a lot of research reading reviews and watching reviews before ordering. Most of them raved about the LatteGo system and rightfully so! No tubes or hoses to clean out or get plugged up, just a single container that is easily washed out and can be stored in the fridge if there is milk leftover. I get some people like to put in the work to make their drinks, but I just want a good end result with the lease effort possible and it really can’t get easier than this! I definitely do not regret buying this machine and would highly recommend it!

    First off I was hesitant at first when I bought the unit because it was about $1-3K less than all the others like Jura.
    When I got it set up I worried about the machine being plastic and not metal like the others. In my mind coffee machines are always metal.
    After using it however those thoughts have gone away. The machine is plastic but still very sturdy. Doesn’t feel like the plastic that breaks.
    Makes a great cup of espresso or cappuccino. I will admit the cappuccino wasn’t quite strong enough for me so I simply added another shot of espresso. The whole thing takes about 3-6 min. I’m actually excited to wake up and get to use the machine. It’s fun to watch.
    I’m definitely going to keep it and save the few thousand on one of the other units like Jura. Maybe those are better and last longer but I don’t see the Benefit. Also they both have a two year warranty.
    Lastly I love the size of the unit. It doesn’t have parts all over the place like the Jura and the milk is directly connected. It fits perfectly on my counter. I highly recommend if you like Starbucks.

    I don’t know how I feel about this machine. I finally found a setting that I believe produces quality espresso shots, but who the heck knows at this point. It’s a frustrating and, to me, tedious process. Definitely not going to be perfect right out of the box, so prepare yourself.

    I also don’t know if it’s normal for so much water to accumulate in the drip tray, and it even seeps below the drip tray. Make sure you empty it after each use to avoid a mess.

    But the good part is it’s easy to use on the human side once you get it Calibrated, and it’s a beautiful machine that will make anyone’s kitchen appear that much more sophisticated. Now that it’s rigged up and ready to go, I enjoy americanos every morning. And the occasional latte.

    The steam wand does not detach for more deep cleaning, so I’d advise you to have a wet cloth ready to wipe it down after use to prevent milk buildup.

    I love it so much now, but I think for the price it shouldn’t be so difficult to get it up and running. This is the first espresso machine I’ve ever purchased though, so maybe I just need to adjust my expectations.

    ***Updated 3/4/2021*** I switched my beans and that made all the difference. I didn’t have to adjust the grind at all, it pulls espresso shots without issue now and I love this machine! Still not a fan of not being able to clean the steam wand well, and all the excess water.

  394. J

    I know nothing about coffee. But I love it. Exactly what I wanted. There is a lot of steam from the latte go thing. So you maybe don’t want to put this under a cabinet. The first couple of cups were watered down. Love the bypass system.

  395. D and F

    I use the Lavazza Super Crema beans (others recommended them because of taste and are not oily). The quality of the espresso and lattes are cafe quality.. love the smooth taste. Will pretty much never buy another drink from Starbucks or Dunkin again (unless traveling lol).

    The coffee – as you would expect – also tastes amazing. The double serving is just about 12oz. Cleanup so far is VERY easy. I have not had to lubricate it yet (every 2 months) but have cleaned everything else (and it’s easy and not time consuming).

    I missed this machine in my life, wish I bought it back in March!! Unbeatable for the price point and convenience.

  396. Teri Aalders

    I could not be happier. This machine makes a great cup of coffee. An amazing espresso, a wonderful cappuccino and anything else you might desire. What more could you want….easy to clean? Yes, it is a breeze. I was using a “grind and brew” machine. Cleaning that out every day was a pain in the butt, this machine is so easy. It tells you when to dump the coffee grounds (little pucks) I wipe the milk spout after each use and put it back in the fridge(love this part) and I rinse out the main part every Sunday morning….done. The set up was so easy. Some people have mentioned the noise, but it is so much quieter than my old grind and brew. My husband passed away a few months ago, I figured I was not going to be drinking a full pot of coffee by myself. So now I can have a big mug of regular coffee in the morning and a cappuccino later.. or macchiato. I don’t feel like I would change anything. I studied machines and watched youtube videos for about 2 weeks before deciding on this one. SOOOO Happy! I’ve named her “Florence”( my favorite city in Italy) but I call her “Flo”.

    Excellent automatic espresso/cappuccino/latte/coffee/hot water machine👍👍👍Wish it’d be available in stainless steel and has water connection to house water filtration system. Great latte and cappuccino using half whole milk and half flavored coffee creamer👍 Sprinkle some powder chocolate/cocoa and cinnamon for intense homemade Starbucks cappuccino or latte.Only one scoop of ground coffee can be used! Machine stop brewing if more than one scoop. Gotta touch and hold to change to ground coffee every time turning on.

    So there are plenty of reviews that give you a pretty good idea as to how well this machine works, but I thought I’d go a little deeper into the milk frothing system on this unit as it’s the key differentiator to other systems.

    The key innovation here is that it gets rid of the difficult to clean tubes found on other units. It does this by effectively splitting the steam/milk tube in half by using a cut groove on the inside side of the clear plastic milk cup, pressed against a rubber fitting on the black plastic cup holder. When you snap the two together the two halves pressed together create the “tube” where the milk/steam is mixed. Pop it apart again and wash it and it’s completely clean and ready to go again. The whole milk cup/black plastic assembly just hangs off of the steam fitting on the main unit, so you just lift it up and off easily, then unsnap the black plastic and cup and rinse it. Ridiculously easy and convenient. I usually pop it off and rinse and dry it and hang it back on again after brewing a cup or two (three) in the morning for my wife and I. The unit is always clean.

    TL;DR this unit is just very simple and from an engineering and ease of use perspective just super easy to work and to keep clean and keep in good order. It just feels really close to a regular coffee machine, even though it makes cappuccinos and lattes.

    If I had known how easy and reliable one of these machines was to actually use and how much we would actually use it I would have bought one years ago.

    <UPDATED REVIEW>
    Yeah.. this turned out to be our #1 favorite kitchen appliance of all time.

  399. JIM's wife

    After many years with my Saeco Odea Giro machine I didn’t think it was possible to love a coffee maker more. I had to make a decision to repair or replace my 12 year-old Saeco, and I decided to replace it with this 3200 Latte Go. I’m glad I did! Although my machine is brand new and I’ve got to spend some time customizing it to my personal taste, the very first latte I made was amazing. The automatic frother creates perfectly steamed milk, as good as I ever could with the manual steam wand on my Saeco. The espresso was nearly perfect as well. I do need to adjust the amount per cup to better suit me, but that seems easy per the instructions. This machine is super easy to use and a breeze to clean. I love all of the drink and customization options available. One note on the set-up instructions; I had problems installing the aqua clean filter at first, it wouldn’t stay seated in the water reservoir. There is an o-ring included with the filter that I didn’t notice that needs to be installed on the filter. This was not addressed in the instructions. Very easy once I noticed the o-ring in the filter package though.

    The unit arrived 3 days quicker than originally promised. Packaging, in 3 boxes like a Babushka doll, was excellent. Everything arrived safely. It was fun to learn to use it. PLEASE read the instructions first and there are several key things to do when first setting it up. First coffee, as predicted, was a throw-away category. After 4 more single tries, I went for a real Americano. Followed by Capuchino. Expresso and lattes. All excellent. Yes, daily cleanup is needed, especially the drip tray. However, we are excited to use this in our motorhome over the long haul. It replaced an aging Keurig. The footprint is nice and small.

    It’s funny how I went from deciding to return it, to not only keeping it but LOVING it. The reason I wanted to return it is because after setting it up and making my first cappuccino I was shocked at horrible it tasted! It tasted like watered down coffee.

    I thought maybe I did something wrong. So, I experimented a lot with the coffee strength settings…1 dot, 2 dots, 3 dots…same horrible tasting coffee. I also experimented with water quantity (I think they call it the drink quantity button)…I tried 1, 2 and 3 dots. Still the same horrible taste.

    At this point I decided to return it. My husband suggested we keep it for a week and see if there’s anything else we can do…maybe change the type of coffee or something.

    The next day while reading reviews on this machine I came across a tip…change the coffee grinder setting. I decided to try it, but I didn’t expect it to make that big of a difference…WRONG. It made all the difference. After setting the grinder to 4, I can’t believe how good the coffee that comes out of this machine! We’ve had it now for a week and my husband and I can’t imagine life without it.

    Here are the settings for my cappuccino : Coffee grinder 4, coffee strength 2 dots, water 1 dot, milk 2 dots…I know this is frowned upon but I like to stir it before I drink it.

    Here are the things I absolutely love about this machine:
    1- It does everything… grind coffee, brew coffee, froth milk and self-clean. if you’ve never owned an automatic machine, like me, you will be blown away.
    2- You can get an amazing coffee with a click of a button (once you program your favorite drink)
    3- Cleaning the milk container is a breeze.

    Things I saw people complaining about:
    1. It uses up a lot of water.
    This is true… however considering it self-cleans and I only have to worry about cleaning once a week, I don’t mind it.
    2. Weekly and monthly clean is too much.
    I would GLADLY do a quick weekly and monthly clean/maintenance if it means that on a daily basis all I need to do is click a button to have a cappuccino.

    Please bear in mind that my review is based on the fact that this is my first super automatic coffee machine.

  402. Owen M.

    Best automatic espresso maker so far. Makes a perfectly consistent espresso each time. Before the coronacation my office had a WMF espresso machine and this Phillips is the closest thing I’ve seen to it under $1k. The temperature is great, espresso comes out at about 140F and hot water is 160F

    The steamer is easy to clean, there is a rubber gasket that presses against a plastic channel so no hose to worry about. I wasn’t impressed with the froth that it produced but I was using almond milk. There is no way to use a stem or only get steamed milk. You press latte macchiato or cappuccino and it puts the milk in first and then espresso. It only does the macchiato style which is milk first and espresso 2nd. When I first got the machine this seemed important but now I cannot remember why…

    The brew unit is easy to clean as well, it pops right out and you can rinse it and wipe it off and goes right back in. The drip tray has a little tab that pops up when full. It slides out easily along with the container of used pucks. When you turn it on it will run a bit of hot water though so the drip tray tends to fill quickly. I would recommend keeping it near a sink but it is fairly large and you have to load the beans from the top. There is about 18” clearance from the bottom of my cabinets to countertop and the machine is about 15” tall.

    The machine is fairly loud and it even vibrates the floor slightly while running. You are left with a sense of awe at its coffee smashing power. I bought the maintenance kit for it as well because with great power comes great responsibility.

    So what do I recommend? Start with a double espresso and then add macchiato. 3 shots of espresso with a little milk is perfect.

  403. Jessica

    I am not a coffee snob. But I just couldn’t stand the Keurig cups. I loved lattes, but didn’t like having to froth milk. For that reason I refused when my family begged for an espresso machine. Then I researched. First – the milk container. OMG – this thing is the best. I clean it once every few days, but can just store the milk in it in the fridge between cups. It makes pretty good foam. Definitely better than that little frothing wand on most. It is just so convenient. Second – the choices. Each of us has a different preference in our coffee. Here we get it all. We customize with double shots, strength of brew, etc. But the point is that with a touch of a few buttons we get custom coffee. Third – size. It takes up about the same amount of counterspace as a 10 cup machine. Maybe a little more. But it was definitely smaller than I was expecting. Fourth – ease of cleaning. You just pull a tray and dump the grounds (in a separate little container) and water. It tells you when it needs to be emptied. This is easier to clean than an actual coffee maker because there is no carafe to scrub. Fifth – the water capacity. Coming from a small keurig, this is my son’s favorite part. You fill it and forget it for a few days. There are four of us who drink coffee regularly. So the size of the water container is great.
    Cons – like others have said, it is not quiet. It doesn’t bother me much. But I have raised two boys who are now teens, have two cats and two dogs, and am not used to a quiet house. I have an air compressor for an airbrush and it sounds like the compressor sounds from outside the house. Really just soothing background noise for me at this point. Price. It is a kitchen appliance. In order in my house of use is the fridge, the dishwasher, this machine, the microwave, the oven, and the rice cooker (we cook rice every day). If you can accept that you are paying for an appliance and not just a little coffee maker, it will sit easier. As it is, I was really hesitant. My family has convinced me it was worth the purchase. Just pull off that sticker shock and the pain subsides quickly.

  404. Justin D Henderson

    I was worried this would be hard to clean and potentially not as flavorful. With the price it’s a commitment. However, I’m extremely happy with this purchase. The unit is super easy to clean and the taste is top notch.

    I now have the problem that I drink too much coffee/ caffeine. The good news is I’m slowly saving money by not going to coffee shops plus the time savings is great.

    The only downside is the noise when making coffee especially with the milk frothing. That’s lots but still totally worth it

  405. Angus

    What a machine! I’ll add photos later. After doing months of research into espresso machines I decided the best option for me was to go with the Breville Barista Express and I don’t regret it. My first try resulted in a well-bodied flavorful and neatly extracted espresso that honestly blew me away. I also have a Flair Pro 2, which I also highly recommend, but you must invest in a nice grinder (I use a timemore hand grinder for it – yes it takes forever).

    Pros of this machine:
    Grinder built-in: produces a fairly consistent grind and has easy step adjustments)
    Cleanliness: I wipe the front down each day with a damp rag, but overall it’s easy to clean. I’ve also cleaned the grinder already using the espresso Grindz and the included brush, works wonderfully. The one drawback is the steam wand, which milk burns to easily, I use a wet sponge to clean it after each use which makes cleaning it a breeze.
    Pressure gauge: this makes understanding your extraction super easy if you don’t want to time and weigh your shots.

    Cons:
    Steaming power: it takes a minute or two to get started after selecting steam, and it’s very slow, I’d say I spend about 1-1:30 minutes steaming milk. It does create great milk texture though, and I’ve had success with dairy and non-dairy milks.
    Tamper and distribution razor : the tamper and included razor tool suck, they’re not unusable, they just take a lot of practice to get consistent tamping and distribution. This is incredibly important and I recommend checking out accessories that distribute and tamp easier. The razor is just plain stupid, and I never use it.
    Portafilter: the 54mm basket is more forgiving than a 58mm (standard size), which actually makes extraction easier for a beginner; however there’s a plastic piece inside this portafiler that I popped out with a screw driver because that’s silly and unnecessary. As you get used to using it, I recommend looking for a bottomless portafilter. It’ll change your espresso experience for the better.

    All in all, if you’re new to espresso and want to play barista get this machine. It’s an all a rounder and amazing value.

    This is our third Barista Express machine.
    The first was a BES860XL. When the grinder stopped working we gave it to a friend.
    The second was a BES870XL. The mechanism that automatically stops the extraction after enough water or time has passed is not working consistently. After we get this one repaired we will take it to a lake cottage that a friend has.
    We purchased this third machine so we don’t have to go without espresso while waiting for the second machine to be repaired.
    This latest is a BES870XL/B. It was not grinding the beans fine enough. I set the grind dial on the side of the machine to its finest setting (1), but no matter how much pressure I applied while tamping, I could barely get the pressure into the “Espresso Range” on the meter.
    While cleaning the machine to return it, I noticed on the upper burr of the grinder embossed numbers and the legend “<–Finer Coarser–>”. So, I looked at the instruction book, and there is a new page that wasn’t in the old book. In our book it is page 23 titled, “Adjusting Conical Burrs”.

    The upper burr dial came from Breville set at 6. I set the upper burr dial to 2 and set the side dial to 5. I am now able to grind, tamp and extract our espresso the way we’ve become used to with our second machine.

    For the record, I try to get the needle on the pressure gauge between the third “S” in “Espresso” and the “N” in “Range”, with the favored point being the “R” in “Range”.

    So, if you are used to one of the older Barista Express models, be aware of the new upper burr adjustment function.

    Breville needs to update their instruction book to refer to this new page in the “Espresso only drips from portafilter spouts or not at all” and the “Espresso runs out too quickly” entries in the “Troubleshooting” section.

  407. Erin

    Short: I have had this machine for 3.5 years. I use it every day, and I absolutely love it. I have had no issues with it and haven’t needed to fix anything. I would purchase again in a heartbeat.

    Long: I was a barista for 3 years and basically consumed so much coffee that it replaced the blood in my veins. I love coffee. When I got a new job, I had a hard time transitioning from espresso back to your average black coffee. I ended up buying coffee almost every day (which really adds up $$$). I started researching at-home espresso machines to see what my options were. There were pros and cons to every machine. After months of research, I ended up splurging to get this machine. 3.5 years later I have not regretted it. I adore this machine. I make espresso every day, and I have brought it on vacation with friends multiple times (and even persuaded some friends to buy their own 😉). Most days I only pull one shot, but I have pulled up to 20 shots on a single day. She works like a champ. The espresso is smooth; the crema is magnificent. It’s not automatic, so you need to know what you’re doing. If you’ve never been a barista, there will be a learning curve on how to tamp, steam milk, etc. But it is so fun! If anything happens to this machine, I will definitely buy another one. It is an expensive investment at first, but I have saved almost $5000 in the 3.5 years I’ve had this machine by not going to coffee shops anymore.

    Pros:
    – you can remove the tamp (which is high quality). Many at-home machines have an attached tamp that is very awkward
    – manual steam wand – this was a must for me. I like control on how my milk is steamed
    – customizable settings – I love being able to customize the time of my shots, the grind size, and grind amount
    – easy to clean – a light turns on every time she needs a cleaning 🙂 so easy!
    – amazing grinder with removable hopper
    – convenient hot water spout
    – helpful built in pressure gauge
    – handy storage tray behind dump tray (see pictures)
    – single or double shot
    – everything is so high quality. The tamp, portafilter, filter baskets, milk pitcher, and the machine itself are solid and made of metal. Nothing feels like cheap plastic. I did drop the water tank a couple months ago and it cracked, but I taped it up and it works just fine!
    – feels like you’re in a coffee shop, but from the comfort of your home
    – MONEY SAVER

    Cons:
    – I wish the water tank was slightly bigger, but that would make the machine bigger
    – it would be nice if it came with a knock box, but you can buy those separate for only like $15
    – big investment and potential learning curve

    Overall, I would recommend this machine to anyone. It’s fun, easy to use, high quality, and saves you a TON of money. It is the best machine for less than $1000. I truly will never not own this machine.

    If you want to make really good espresso/cappuccino, you need good equipment. The Barista Express is a self contained espresso bar. It utilizes a good conical burr grinder and an excellent semi-automatic espresso machine all in one unit. My old setup, comprised of a separate grinder and espresso machine was okay, but always left quite a mess to clean up after making a couple of coffees. With this Breville model I have no coffee dust all over the counter after grinding the coffee. Brewing is as easy as touching a button. It is very easy to dial in your grind,dose and tamp because of the pressure gauge. I had it all set after pulling 3 shots. The unit has features found on much costlier machines. You can go full manual or automatic on both the grinder and the brew. You can swap out the bean hopper without spilling a single bean. It has both a professional steam wand (single hole) and a hot water dispenser, which enables you to make any coffee drink you like i/e machiato, capuccino, americano etc. I am finally getting the most out of my coffee with no hassles whatsoever. Very happy with my purchase and would recommend this product to anyone who loves coffee.
    It’s been 4 years since purchasing this excellent espresso maker. I make up to 8 coffee drinks per day on average. And I still make the best coffee in town. Just use fresh roasted coffee beans and do regular descaling. The rest is easy.

    First impressions since I just got it, and only used it for a couple of times. First things first, it arrived double boxed and actual product box was in neat condition. Machine is brand new. I can’t believe I saw a review from someone claiming that the machine arrived used with residue coffee grinds and scratches. That must sucks but thankfully not my experience. To me this is a high end machine for a espresso beginner like me and so glad I got it for less than the typical $700 price tag. I added the protection plan too so some peace of mind there. My current coffee beans are dark roasted and oily so it was kind of tricky to find the right maybe not perfect but considerably right grind size. Lots of trial and error until I felt like I had dialed in a good size. Also had to mess with the grind amount. I started with the recommended setting of 3 o’clock and oh boy that wasn’t right at all for my beans. Anyways just keep in mind that you have to spend some time adjusting if you’re using whole beans and a non pressurized basket. The steam wand is awesome and works great. Please don’t make my mistake even though I know I have to wipe the wand immediately I got distracted and took longer than I should have to wipe clean the wand so it got messy but got it cleaned up good now. The hot water dispenser is so convenient to quickly warm up cups. It has that preinfusion feature and also the one that removes the excess of water from your group head and leaves you with a dry puck. Those are excellent features. Overall again first impressions are excellent. This looks like a high quality machine to me and I hope to see it work well for me for years to come. Maybe on the high maintenance side but oh well I will do my beat to keep clean and we’ll maintained. Cheers!

  410. Kevalyn

    I held off on writing a review for years because I saw someone saying that this machine lasts only around 2 years. This is totally not true. I purchased this Apr 17, 2017 and I am writing this Feb 16, 2020. So I’m just shy of 3 years. It still works perfectly.

    I have 5 years of barista experience and have worked with Nuova Simonelli and Rancilio machines and I love this machine. I’ve never had any issue with it at all. I was worried because my tap water is VERY hard. I was afraid that the insides would seize up after a while due to build up but nope. I’ll also add that I’m kinda lazy. I don’t descale it nearly as much as I should. I think I’ve only descaled it 5 times in the 3 years I’ve had it.

    I think what a lot of people struggle with is getting the settings right. Even if you’ve worked with espresso machines before, each one is a bit different and each type of bean is different. It took a bit of experimenting before I got the grinding coarseness, grind amount, and tamping pressure right; but once I did, it’s so easy. So be patient, try different things and see what works for you.

    I love the power of the steam wand. You’re actually able to get good microfoam. It takes longer than commercial machines but that shouldn’t really be a surprise. It comes out hot, luscious, and creamy.

    Is this the best home espresso machine ever? Probably not. But unless you’re a huge coffee snob and have tons of money to throw around, it’s unbeatable at this price range.

    Some tips:
    >Don’t use the auto grind dispensing setting. Not because it’s inaccurate but because it will get messy as the heap of grinds tumbles down and over the edges of your portafilter.
    –> What I do is I set the auto dispense to a single shot with the amount only at about 1/3 of the way turned up. I auto dispense that base amount, take out the portafilter, gently tamp down the grinds a bit, then manual dispense grinds to my desired amount. This prevents a world of mess. What’s the desired amount? That’s up to what you’re making and with what size filter you have on your portafilter. Single, double?
    –> As a general rule of thumb, on my final, full pressure tamp, I make sure the grinds are about 5mm down from the top.

    >How much grind you put in and how hard you tamped it will affect the pressure reached while infusing!!
    –> if your machine is not getting to “espresso range” pressures then don’t assume it’s broken! You might just not have put enough grinds in or tamped to the appropriate level. Getting it right may take some time.
    –> When you remove the portafilter after infusing, the “puck” of espresso grinds should come away in the portafilter and be easily disposed by tapping it (with a bit of force) on the edge of whatever grind receptacle you’re using. If you get sludge when you remove, you did not put enough grinds in/tamp with enough pressure.
    –> If you’re still struggling to get a good infusion, play with the grind coarseness setting. It’s different for different beans!

    >RINSE after each use! Start up a single shot without a portafilter under for a few seconds then turn it off again. Having old grinds stuck on there is gross and affects the taste of your next espresso.
    –> Rinse out the milk steaming wand after use! Have a wet tea towel ready before you steam milk! Once you’re done steaming IMMEDIATELY wipe down the wand (watch your hand! It’s hot!) Otherwise, the milk will cook onto the wand and form a hard crust. Rinse the inside by turning it on while pointed at the tray for several seconds.

    >If you turn on the steam wand and it’s not starting, don’t panic. Be patient. Sometimes it takes a little bit longer to get going.
    –> If it’s really not turning on, turn it off, then check the hole. It may be blocked up with the aforementioned cooked and crusted milk. They provide you with a handy tool to clear it!

    That’s all for now. If I encounter any issues in the future, I will update this review to include details.

    Update: I’ve now had this machine for a year, and we still adore it. Not long ago we had to evacuate for a hurricane, and I actually packed this up and took it with me, because I couldn’t bear the thought of a long evacuation without good coffee in the morning. I still wish the water tank were bigger.
    —————————————————————-
    I got this machine for Christmas and we love it so much. I have three teenage sons, so this machine gets a lot of traffic, especially on the weekends. My husband hates learning new gadgets, so I was a bit worried about him, but with a few practice runs, he’s now also enjoying daily Americanos and says it’s the best “coffee” he’s ever had. On weekday mornings we stick to Americanos, and the hot water dispenser makes a good tea too. For mornings where we can slow down more, all of us have gotten decent at steaming and frothing milk, although that definitely took some trial and error.

    I appreciate the small footprint of this espresso maker. Some users have suggested ample space is needed around the machine, but we have it on a smaller counter segment with only 6-8” on either side and it’s fine. When we had it set up at my parents’ house, it was horizontally awfully close to the bottom their cabinet, but it fit. However, that makes it harder to remove and replace the water receptacle, which for my family needs to be done at a minimum daily, and usually more. I have higher raised cabinets though, so it’s fine.

    As far as accessories, we bought some double-walled glasses, but we mostly drink taller drinks that need a mug. I recently bought an inexpensive knock box, and this is more useful than I would have expected. Besides using it for disposing of grounds (or in our case transferring them to compost), it’s also handy to have below as you smooth and level grounds. Before I’d walk over to the sink to do that, inevitably leaving a trail of grounds. I also bought a poster that shows all the different kinds of coffee drinks. That’s a fun reference and provides more drink ideas.

    The cleaning light finally came on a few days ago, but as I said we’re heavy users. I used one of the tablets that came with the machine and followed the directions. It was a pretty easy process. I haven’t needed to descale it yet. Once or twice a bean has jammed the grinder, but again that was an easy fix even for the mechanically uninclined.

    Overall, we love this machine. I hope it has a nice long and happy life.

    We were looking at the Breville machine without the grinder since it was on Cyber Monday special but glad we spent the extra for this. The espresso comes out great every time, the cleanup is easy and the steam wand actually works to froth milk. I used to work at a coffee shop on much more expensive machines and while this may be no where near those, it does produce exceptionally consistent shots and has a pretty high quality feel to it. My wife was at first concerned it may be too complicated but running through it a few times teaches you everything you need to know and it’s quick to operate. What I really like about this is the level of thought that went into it. They really did think about everything in this machine. The bottom grate removes easy and is split into a coffee grind collector and water tray that catches and extra steam runoff or missed espresso if you don’t get cups directly under the portafilter.

    Pros:
    – High quality shots every time
    – High build quality and easily cleaned everything
    – Automatic grind feature is really nice and avoids another device on the counter
    – Steam wand is one of the better ones on a home unit

    Cons:
    – Breville recommended grind amounts were way too much. We dialed ours back to 1/4th rather than half way as recommended and waste a lot less Espresso. However your results may vary.
    – The Breville razor is kinda useless. If you get the grind amount right I’ve noticed that the included tamper marks about the same level if you line up it’s metal tamper with the rim of the portafilter
    – Having multiple portafilter caps is nice but we find unnecessary. 99% of the time you’re gonna use the one for two shots with whole bean coffee, though it’s nice to have in a pinch if you have to get preground.
    – This machine requires water filters every two months. This isn’t really a con but more so inconvenient. The benefit of this, though, is a cleaner machine so it’s the least concerning. Also the filters and cleaning tablets are pretty cheap.

    All and all I’d highly recommend this machine for those in the market. It may be more expensive than others but produces a far better quality product.

    ***UPDATE*** After 16 months of daily use, once per day to make double shots of espresso, this machine gave out. Being outside warranty, the cost of shipping and handling, cost to diagnose the machine, and then replace parts, would at minimum cost nearly 1/2 what this machine cost me when I bought it on sale. What happened? The machine stopped pumping water into the group head with enough power to do an extraction. I kept this machine clean, clean, clean, and even after careful descaling it still would not do the job. I will not be replacing this machine with another Breville. I will not chance it. ***I owned a Starbuck’s Barista espresso machine and it lasted about ten years. It was a durable machine, but it couldn’t brew a great espresso because it was underpowered. So, when I gave the Barista machine to the local Goodwill, I began shopping for it’s replacement. I wanted a machine that could brew several drinks in a row without any reheating issues or steaming issues. Enter the Breville BES870XL.I live modestly, but I do like an excellent Almond milk latte. I also like to spend much less money on said latte than what I am charged at the local coffee shop! The Breville BES870XL is a God send! The machine fits nicely on my limited counter space in my very small apartment kitchen. It grinds beautifully and I can whip up wonderful lattes at will. The machine is so easy to use compared to the old Barista. Extraction of the espresso always gives excellent crema (I use Lavazza Super Crema beans) and taste and steaming the milk right after extraction always happens, since the Breville has the water good and hot, ready to go.The only con is that the grinder is messy. I use a tray to collect the grinds that fall out during collection and also pressing into the basket. But that is really the only issue I have with this machine.I keep the Breville clean after each brew. Be scrupulous with cleaning and the machine rewards with great tasting brew!I haven’t owned this machine for but a month, so durability is not considered here. However, if the Breville BES870XL lasts as long as my old Barista did, I will be extremely pleased. I would buy this again without thought! Enjoy.

    My Rancillio finally bit the dust after 10 years. I researched espresso machines extensively before going for the Breville. I wasn’t sure about the combined grinder because that is one of the most important aspects of pulling good shots–a good grinder. And I already have a good stand alone grinder. I almost bought the one without the grinder, but I thought I could save counter space if I paid a little more and got the grinder. I’m glad I did. This machine grinds well. I wait until just a few grains fall over the top, then use the tamper (that attaches by magnet to the inside top of the machine-great because I constantly lost my other tamper after rinsing it), then use the razor that comes with it before connecting the piece to the machine. The grinding, tamping, razoring process takes about 40 seconds. After connection, I just push the double button and I have two perfect shots in 33 seconds. I like lattes so I pour about an inch of whole milk in the stainless steel pitcher that comes with the unit, and turn on the frother. It takes about 78 seconds to froth the milk for a latte or cappuccino. I wipe the frother with a damp rag I leave on top of the machine. So in under two minutes, I have a fabulous latte. The first time you turn on the machine, it heats up in under a minute. If the machine has just gone to sleep, it heats up in about 15 seconds. This is much more time efficient than waiting in line at the coffee store, and it saves a lot of money, now that the Denver coffee shops are charging nearly $5, before tip, for lattes and cappuccinos. I drink 3 or 4 lattes a day. I figure once you include the cost of your time, gas, and the cost of the actual drink, this machine will pay for itself in about a year, less if you drink more and your time is worth a lot.

    Update: After 2 Years, I am still very satisfied. Nothing has broken, and the coffee is still great. Don’t hesitate to buy this. I am at home 7 days a week now due to Covid-19 and I use the hell out of this. Original review below:

    This is a great machine. Below are the reasons I give it a favorable rating.

    Coffee – This is not my first espresso maker, but it’s my first advanced model. It makes a great shot of espresso with good crema.

    Second: Features – Not too many features. This unit has the basic ones you need: Automated Burr Grinder, Pressure Gauge, Single/Double shot options and of course a steam nozzle. There are a few tweaks you’ll need to dial in, like any espresso maker. These center on grind size (easy to use dial on side of machine), grind quantity, and how to properly tamp down the espresso. Once you get that down, you’re golden. Most importantly, the pressure gauge will tell you when you have your settings right. I only briefly referenced the manual to answer a few questions. Still haven’t read the whole thing.

    Second: Materials – It is made of good stainless steel and has user-serviceable parts. Espresso Portafilter is heavy gauge – it feels good in the hand too. Someone put some thought into the user-experience with this machine. Four filters are provided with the machine for varying brew quantity and strength.

    Third: Longevity – I have been using this continuously for 4 months. No problems so far other than a clogged steam jet, which was easy to remedy via the screw-off steam nozzle. Didn’t even have to reference the user manual – it was that easy. I will try to update later to see how it’s doing after a year in service.

    Fourth: Looks – this unit will most likely be placed in your kitchen, and it is not small. Your eye will be drawn to it (my friends all comment on it when they come over) so it’s important that it not be a plastic beast. The stainless is easy to clean and looks good. It also has a great drip tray that tells you when it’s full. I’m not a terribly neat guy, and this thing is easy to keep clean.

    Why I Bought It:
    My goal was to cut down on what I was spending at Starbucks. I was averaging one 5.00 coffee per day during the week. That means roughly $100.00 per month. I wanted an espresso maker that would provide quality coffee and, over the course of a year, save me money. The Breville BES870XL hits this mark. It also saves me a little time and some gas (going to the coffee shop). I still support my local coffee shop because the owner and his staff are great – but the afternoon trip to Starbucks is gone!

    Hope this helps in your purchasing decision!

    Owned since Oct. 2017, no issues yet. Avg. of maybe 2 double espressos per day, steamed milk less often, so relatively low use. We have a whole-house water softener (and 5-stage RO filter for drinking water), so scale buildup is not an issue at all. I do run the cleaning tablet when the “clean me” light comes on. I did descale it once so far, but might not have been necessary (eg. our electric kettle doesn’t build up any scale). We only use the non-pressurized filter baskets (tried the others, didin’t see the point, harder to clean).

    My best advice for an easy and consistent “Italian café style” espresso is to get a can of Illy medium roast beans. Especially if you’re new to making espresso (actually in this case you may want to start with a can of ground Illy — still tastes great and takes one major step out of the equation, and you then know the desired coarseness for grinding your own). This gets me a great espresso every single time. With local roasts (we have several roasters in the area I’d prefer to support instead of Illy) I found it is much more finicky… can change from cup to cup, and definitely from batch to batch. While I’ve gotten some great espressos from locally-roasted sources, with interesting flavors, I’ve gotten way more poor shots. With the Breville and Illy I can make a better (IMHO) espresso than any of the local shops can manage… honestly. Mind you we live in a small college town. I guess most ppl drink frothed milk with a little coffee and don’t really notice the espresso part.

    Don’t try to grind a double all at once… a lot of it will overflow (wasteful and messy). I grind one shot, take the filter out, spread out the grinds and give it a couple taps on the counter to settle them, then grind the 2nd shot on top of that. Makes almost no waste or mess this way. I’ve found that the “half a double” grind amount is typically one click less than an actual single-shot grind (so eg. twice at 1 o’clock for double, once at 2 o’clock for a single).

    Also forget the metal “leveler” thing they include… it’s silly. Spread the grinds out in the filter with a finger edge. If the double filter is full to the brim before packing, you’re good to go. The single filter should be a little under full before packing. After packing either filter, the metal rim on the press should be even with the top of the filter (as shown in the manual). Hardest part is making sure you’re not tilting the press while pushing down, as it is easy to get a “cockeyed” pack. Again, watching the metal rim of the press vs. the filter rim is a good way to check that.

    Low pressure can be a direct result of old beans — really. Came home after a 2-week trip once and tried to make espresso with beans from an Illy can that had already been opened (and had made good coffee before trip). Couldn’t get the pressure high enough, regardless of grind size or amount, or tamping. Even tried a cleaning. Opened fresh can of Illy, et voilá, good pressure again.

    I didn’t find any other accessories necessary (except eventually some cleaning tablets). You will want something on the counter to put the filter on while packing (and banging it to settle grinds) — a folded kitchen towel works well. The space under the filter allows for a wide variety of drinking vessels (whoever suggested using paper cups… really? Wasteful and ruins the taste IMHO).

    The grinder maybe isn’t the best — the grind is good. and can be set very fine, but would be better to grind based on weight instead of time. It’s important that the beans are fed into the grinder consistently. Make sure they’re spread out evenly in the hopper, and as someone else mentioned, tapping on the hopper while grinding may help (esp. if there aren’t many beans in there). You can hear the grinder sound change when it is grinding beans vs. air. Regular cleanings help as well.

    This is not a great machine for serving a party of people. Unless they like cold coffee, or you serve them all individually as the coffees are ready… the first ppl you serve will be done by the time you serve yourself. It’s fine for a couple of servings, but beyond that it starts to get awkward. Especially if they want steamed milk…. you’d want the double-boiler model for that at minimum.

    Overall very happy with this machine. I had never made my own espresso before owning it, but I certainly knew what I liked. This machine delivered, after a modest learning curve (and the Illy beans helped a lot).

  417. David Nadas

    It was everything I hoped for. This machine is beautifully made and makes a coffee better than I had in France and Spain. I had tried some friend’s machines, ranging from high-end Italian made commercial equipment ($$$$) that was fully manual to a De’Longhi MAGNIFICA Fully automatic for about the same price, one-button machine (also a very good machine), and the Breville unit is right in between the two–but it is considered fully automatic. The construction is top-grade and the small surprises were: the magnetic nest the tamper fits into, the use of a filter in the water tank (plus spare), the hidden drawer for the cleaning equipment, the warming tray on top for my cup and the pop-up tab when the tray is filled and it’s time to empty. It took me a few tries and adjustments to get everything just where I want it to be and that was easy to get from the instruction manual. The only improvements I can suggest are: offer a larger water reservoir and a better indicator when the water tank is getting low, but these are hardly show-stoppers.

    P.S. I’ve tried only a few different sources of beans from various countries and settled on the Hawaiian Gold Reserve Kona Blend medium roast beans (Not the Kirkland) at COSTCO. Delicious, rich and creamy. Still plenty more to try. I have tried other beans (ie.e Starbucks, Columbian, Guatemalan, etc.) and had to fuss with the grinder settings as well as the conical burr grinder settings to achieve the perfect extraction. For the Kona, I set the grinder to “5” and leave the burr grinder at “6” I also find that when using a double, you are better off grinding a single, then tamp it, then hit another single instead of a double to begin with (less grind spill).

  418. TheFutureMe

    I bought this about a month ago and thought I’d give it some time to review. This is my first espresso machine, and I must say, I am very impressed.

    The reason I bought it was mainly because I was tired of reloading my Starbucks card, and I missed real Italian espressos from Italy. I had tried brewing with Moka pots, but it just didn’t work out. The Breville is spot-on!

    At first, like everyone else, I had a bit of a hard time getting the dial to register correctly in the espresso range. Finally I settled on the Starbucks espresso beans with the grind set to 3. When you grind the beans, start off just barely filling the filter, then gently pressing the grounds to the sides. After that, grind a little more just so you can make a little rounded hill. Then, tamp firmly.

    Milk frothing is a breeze as well. There were some YouTube videos I watched to get an idea of how to do it. Honestly it’s not a difficult machine to use. My 11-year old daughter has the whole process down pat and has officially become the family barista. My wife won’t drink a capuccino unless my daughter made it.

    UPDATE–After nearly a year, this thing is still chugging along! Two things stand out as must-do’s to keep it that way:
    – Clean regularly — I had let the grinder get clogged up and it wasn’t grinding as well. Routine grinder cleaning is essential, as is regular descaling and cleaning using the tablets.

    Also, I do have to say that you should call customer support when you’re not sure what’s going on. I had a problem also with the pressure and found out that because of the beans I used, I needed to change the grind size to a finer grind. Not only did they help me figure it out, they also sent me some Breville descaler and cleaning tablets free because the machine was still under warranty. That’s worth an extra star in my book!

  419. G. A. Giordano

    Follow up: Oct. 2019,
    Still going strong. No issues with the machine to date. Still looks great, works great. Daily use, 2-3 cups a day. Thousand+ cups made. I have been cleaning it regularly and descaling about every 6 mos (not hard water area). I have cleaned the grinder once and even that was probably not necessary. I didn’t find a lot of buildup on the burs. I only grind fresh roasted unflavored beans, I was kind of surprised to not find any buildup on the burs, but hey, I’m not complaining. I would definitely buy this again.

    Original Review:
    A fine machine for the cost. I was not sure what to expect, but this thing is nice. For a home machine it kicks out a nice cup-a-joe!
    Bottom line, this is a great machine. I have tried several and so far, short of a commercial unit, this is the one to get.

    Not an automatic coffee maker. You have to learn how to use it. But if you are like me and don’t mind a little hands on, and a little thinking you will love this machine. If you are looking for a ‘push the button and have a cup of espresso’, look elsewhere. You will need to adjust and adapt to the coffee beans you choose.

    Pros:
    Pump is powerful. Have not had any issue getting excellent extraction.
    Heater is powerful. Heats up fast and not much waiting at all for a single boiler unit. I was initially debating on getting the dual boiler unit since almost all I make is cappuccino type drinks. However, the wait for steam is only about 10-15 seconds and at this point I can’t see spending the extra cash. Plenty of steam!
    If you like hot milk, or lots of foam, or somewhere in the middle, you are set. Once you get the hang of the steam wand, it is no big deal to make it how you like it.
    Construction is solid. Materials seem high quality and sturdy. Has a good feel.
    Grinder works just fine. As long as it doesn’t break, we’re good. The grind is consistent. I have used store bought and fresh roasted (same day) coffees. All grind just fine and make a good cup. I don’t use the pressure filter, but have tried it out on some pre-ground coffee. It does fake out a nice crema. So if you don’t want to bother with fresh beans and proper grind, you can still get a nice looking cup.
    It is not ‘automatic’ as in brainless. One still needs to get the right grind and tamp for the beans you are using, but for anyone with a tad of experience you will be proudly sipping your efforts in no time. I find the results very consistent and repeatable. Once you are dialed in for a batch of beans, you don’t need to mess with it.

    Cons:
    Mostly nits but some may find them more annoying…
    The drip tray fills up very fast and if you wait for the little ’empty me’ flag you waited way too long. Prepare for a mess. Just stay on top of it.
    There are lots of crevices in the drip tray that you will never get clean. OCD people will not like this, but it’s nothing you see and won’t affect the operation at all.
    The grinder does not feed itself well. It will run dry with beans in the hopper. You have to tap it or stir the beans to get them to drop in. Not a big deal though.
    It is a tad on the messy side, but I really don’t see any way around this. You will have grounds and drips and stuff around the work area. Again, I don’t see any way to load the filter without a bit of a mess, but just know this is not a clean freaks operation.
    You will have a perpetual gob of steamed milk on the steam nozzle in the little flat area that is there to thread it together unless you scrape it out every time. It’s just a little space but again, if you are the OCD type you will notice it…
    The drip tray finish scratches easily. Don’t expect the work surface to stay pretty long. It will show use. No harm. Just not new looking…

    Wish List:
    I wish it had an option for a water line and a drain tube.
    I wish the finish was a little more fingerprint and scratch forgiving.

  420. Buddy

    I rarely write online reviews of products I buy, but I am so impressed by this machine I must share with people who are contemplating this purchase.

    BOTTOM LINE:
    This is an extremely good value for the price, and I would HIGHLY recommend this machine to anyone regardless of their experience level with making espresso-based beverages. Read on for more detail…

    BACKGROUND:
    I am very careful when buying products in this kind of price range, and thus do a lot of research before buying. This is especially true with something you can’t truly “try before you buy”. I read over 100 of the reviews on this product, and although there are some complaints the major theme is very positive. I have been using the Breville daily now for almost two months and feel I understand it’s pro’s and con’s very well.

    As a coffee person, my focus is on espresso, Americano, and lattes. I was never a drip-coffee person, but I have been a hardcore Starbucks latte guy for 6 years. I have talked at length to baristas over the years to get a more technical understanding of what makes great coffee, and previously owned a fully automatic machine from Saeco (about a $600 machine). When it came time to buy a new machine, I felt that I was ready to make the jump to a semi-automatic machine.

    Lastly, I come from a technology background (e.g. Apple employee) and feel that I am a good judge of design, manufacturing, user interface, etc.

    DESIGN:
    This is an extremely well designed product. Every little detail, from the exterior & interior packaging to the controls on the front of the machine, is very thoughtfully done, well executed, and serves its intended purpose. From the beginning you see that it is a high quality product, and Breville spent money where it matters. The materials are visually appealing as well as sturdily built, with the kind of craftsmanship and heft you would expect from a much higher priced machine. Nice touches like having the tamper store in a magnetized hole in the top of the machine, having the top surface of the machine stay warm from the boiler to keep your portafilter and coffee cup warm, and creating a hidden accessories tray in the base of the machine are signs of top notch designers. Overall, the product is relatively compact and will fit into any size kitchen situation. Lastly, the user instructions are extremely well done and very helpful – READ THEM.

    PERFORMANCE:
    The espresso produced is extremely consistent, and only changes as your beans age (although a pretty small difference). The water boiler heats up very quickly and you will be drawing a shot less than 2 minutes after hitting the power button (part of this time is grinding the beans). The controls are easy to use, and the movable items such as the portafilter and steamer wand are holding up well and I have zero concern about long term reliability. The steamer wand, compared to my previous Saeco, seems to create much richer milk foam, which is important for lattes and cappuccinos. There are a number of “complaints” from people on these reviews about how difficult it is to get good espresso, but I can tell you my very first shot was good and has been ever since. I think these people are creating the wrong impression, as this machine is incredibly easy to use. However, it’s critically important that you read the instruction manuals FIRST to help ensure you get it right. The grind level is the only thing you really need to set, and that will be personal preference to some extent but for my beans it seems best at 4. The other thing you control is how hard to tamp the grounds in the portafilter, and I will tell you that if you give it a good strong press (I use two hands on a hard flat surface), it will be just fine. Don’t overthink this machine!

    BEANS:
    I strongly suggest you find a local shop that roasts their beans on-site so you can have truly fresh beans. You want espresso whole beans, and they need to be 100% Arabic and NOT the “oily” kind. Otherwise, you will gum up your grinder.

    CLEANING:
    Terrific design makes this a breeze to clean. The water and grounds catch tray just lifts out in one piece, and you can take everything to the sink without making a mess. A quick rinse and you are ready to put it back. One thing that cannot be avoided is that some of the coffee grinds will spill out of the portafilter during the grinding process, and may even fall off the coffee maker and onto the counter (or floor). I shake the portafilter mildly while its grinding to even out the grounds to minimize the mess, but even that doesn’t eliminate it completely. The other mess creator is tamping the grounds and levelling off the dose size, this will cause grounds to be spilled. Up to you how to contain this, although I just turn the dosing blade upside down and use it to scrape the grounds off my counter and into a bowl I use to catch the grounds when I level the dose. Overall it is quite minor and requires less than 5 minutes of clean-up a day.

    I had a Breville for 5 years before this model, that I loved. I really had no good reason to buy this because my other one was still functioning perfectly. But I went ahead anyway for two reasons: I saw a video that made the workflow look much nicer, and just the look of the bean that came out of the grinder was intoxicating.

    To say I’m not disappointed is an understatement. This may be my favorite appliance of all time.

    This machine already has so many 5 star reviews, I decided to write another for two reasons:

    1. This machine is such a huge improvement over the prior model it’s astounding that it came out as being the same price.
    2. The types of improvements indicate that Breville is that rare company that really does learn and refine, delivering amazing excellence.

    On the first point, my prior machine had a few little warts: when it started to make the espresso, it would vibrate and often it would move the cup out of the way and pour the espresso down into the grill. I tried a lot of things to cure that. The only real solution was using really big mugs but even then it was rickety. This thing is smooth as silk. Granted, it is significantly bigger, but they have made big improvements. It feels like a completely different machine. Like going from a pinto to a cabin cruiser.

    Having the grinder onboard is fantastic. I was using a Krups that sat next to the machine. I was grinding every day or two and keeping the bean in a small mason jar, but still, fresh ground is going to win every time. Also, the grind looks totally different than what you get from a steel blade grinder, which tends to go from coarse to powder very quickly with not much in between. This was one of the main reasons I upgraded: I was off coffee for 15 years and went back after countless studies showed its ability to prevent neurodegenerative disease. Clearly, beans that were ground just now, and in a more gentle, less oxidizing way (the metal blade grinder whip up the contents too much), are going to be the best you can do on this front.

    One of the other huge areas of improvement is the degree to which the machine teaches you how to make the coffee you want to make. This alone is worth the purchase price. Turns out I was using 2x the coffee I needed to on the old machine, with pressure rarely getting over minimum. This setup has already in a few days taught me more about getting that balance right, and there are more controls and easier ways to see the effects of each change you make. This is really huge: the ultimate in design is when the product also trains the user.

    I am a software developer. We talk a lot about Lean as a process methodology: Kaizen, constant improvement, by minding the things that are done to produce a result. The workflow of making coffee on this new machine is so much nicer: no more transferring ground beans, etc. Filling the water is still kind of a drag. I think they should have a simple way to attach this thing to a water supply, but, that’s a minor nit.

    Finally, on the financial side, though many people consider $600 a crazy amount to pay for a coffee machine, when you get coffee out it’s ~$3 per serving. That means 200 servings later, this thing has paid for itself. Also, an interesting study recently showed that very large machines in commercial installations are often cleaned with harsh chemicals that leach lead into the water. This is the best way there is today to make coffee.
