I love this machine. My first venture into making cappuccino, espresso, etc. I believe I made a good choice. It appears to be well made, doesn't take up a lot of room on my kitchen counter. The instructions are concise and there are also YouTube vids they recommend. Those are very informative as well. I have always wanted to make my own espresso, cappuccino, cafe au lait, etc., but wasn't sure which machine to go with. I thought the pricing was very good for what you get. And it makes first class beverages. My wife loves it and calls me her personal barista, lol! It comes with both dual and single wall filters for single and double shots. Make sure you read up on when to use the single wall and double wall filters. It's quite interesting and makes your coffee even better. The bottom drain is easy to remove and clean. There is a kit for cleaning the steam nozzle and removing scale. It also includes a nice milk jug and a tamper. It has been an interesting learning curve and I think this machine is probably one of the better ones if you are just getting into it and don't want to invest large amounts of money to get started. And enjoy a great cup of espresso, cappucinno, cafe au lait, etc.
(Please note in the pic I included the Breville knockbox. It matches the machine but was a separate purchase.)
