This one replaces our almost 10 yr old machine whose pump was failing — not surprising since we make multiple lattes every day, 20- 25/wk X 52 wks x almost 10 years. None of the reported issues of a too tight filter, etc. that others have reported. We have three Breville small appliances (4-slice toaster, kettle, and Cafe Roma) that have all given reliable service over many years.

Un latté ou un espresso?
Reviewed in Canada on November 6, 2020

Reçu hier et profitant de mon premier espresso ce matin, je serais simple et discret sur l'utilisation de l'appareil. Je ne providerai donc pas d'informations sur la durée de vie de l'appareil mais bien sur les aspects technique et les apparences.

Par points forts et faibles

Forts:

L'eau chauffe très rapidement. J'ai connecté celui-ci à Alexa via une prise intelligente. À mon réveil, lorsque je lui demande de lancer l'appareil, il me suffit de me lever et de préparer mon café puisque l'eau est déjà chauffé. Moins de 1 min de temps suffit. Pratique pour les matins hivernaux!

Beaucoup de petits accessoires: pichet à lait de bonne facture, temper/cuillères (préférable de vous acheter une meilleure qualité mais pour un accessoire de plastique, il va plutôt bien), une rallonge pour le bras à vapeur, un petit grattoir /nettoyeur/déboucheur pour le bras vapeur, des autocollants français pour la machine ( pour moi c'est un énorme gaspillage environnemental mais pour d'autres, ce sera apprécié) et 3 filtres ( simple, double et dosette)

Elle n'est pas trop grosse et paraît pas mal pour une petite machine bas de gamme.

L'extraction est très rapide

Assez silencieuse! Certains disent qu'elle tremble etc... Personnellement, je l'ai placé sur un petit tapis de table... Et elle ne tremble pas, etc...

Mousse le lait très rapidement. J'ai testé avec le lait de soya ce matin. Moins de 10 secondes, ont suffit pour obtenir une belle mousse,

Bon réservoir d'eau,

Très facile à nettoyer et utiliser ( à droite on coule, à qauche, on mousse point),

Beau crèma! Une belle grosse couche! La machine coule très rapidement avec une bonne pression!

Assez haute pour mettre des tasses basses à café au lait sans enlever le plateau récupérateur. Sur la photos, les grosses tasses empilables ont même de l'espace!

Prix abordable et vient avec une garantie de 1 an du fabricant.

Faible

La machine ne produit pas de capsules secs, et votre filtres va se retrouver avec du grains mouillé... Donc, un peu plus sale... J'ai simplement placé un plat de récupération à côté de la machine... Cela pourrais déplaire à certains. De mon côté, c'est un petit désagrément qui se place en bas de ligne. Considérant que la machine coûte si peu.

Le bras à vapeur est assez court, et mieux vaux mettre la rallonge. Certains préférons le faire sans...

Beaucoup de parties en plastique (Moitié/moitié),

Entièrement manuel ( ceux qui préfèrent les multiples obtions serons déçus),

Pas de clic lorsque l'ont met le bras... Donc attention à ne pas trop pousser...

Pas assez haute pour mettre une tasse régulière. Presque... On y est presque... ( je sais que certaines personnes aimes cette option... Pour les lattés, par exemple),

Un peu lourde pour une petite machine.

En bref: je ne peux malheureusement pour l'instant parler de la solidité dans le temps. Elle semble de bonne facture, solide et fiable au prime abords.. Le temps le dira!

Pour des espressos plutôt biens ( je ne dirai pas excellents, mais bons), pour l'apport qualité /prix en résultats, la facilité d'utilisation et simplicité du nettoyage, les nombreux accessoires ( le filtre à dosette est une surprise rarement inclus dans les entrées de gamme) et la vitesse/pression plutôt impressionnante... Je conseil!

Ce n'est pas une machine à Barista industrielle, mais une vraie petite bête pour les petites cuisines ou les bureaux!

Allez, bonne caféine!

Great machine for a decent price
Reviewed in Canada on October 6, 2023

I purposely waited to write this because I wanted to be able to give a fully informed review. So many review I see on �鶹�� are from people who 'just got the thing' and haven't had enough time for something to go wrong.

I bought this particular model because a family member has had the same one for years and is really happy with it.

I've been using this machine a couple times a day now for about 8 months, and I have to say I'm very happy with it. It's solidly built, easy to use, easy to clean and doesn't take up a lot of space. Best of all, it makes great coffee and the steamer works very well (make sure to remove the outer metal cuff/hose from the steamer nozzle and clean it all thoroughly after each use).

My only complaint is that it's not easy to see the water level because the interior of the slot where the water tank sits is dark grey. All they would have had to do to make the water level more visible would be to paint a strip of white at the back of the slot so that when light shines through it has something to bounce off of. I tested that out by slipping a strip of white paper into the back of it, and with that white background it's really easy to see the water level. Such a small thing, but that only makes it doubly annoying that they didn't do it.

Other than that, I truly have no other complaint about this machine. I am extremely happy with my purchase and would recommend it to anyone else wanting a good, quality machine without spending an arm and a leg. It is the kind of machine that I feel will last a long time and hold up well to repeated daily use. I've had 8 months now to confirm that.

Update: I felt the need to address a comment I saw in another review about this thing having 'a dorky steaming wand', along with comments about the intelligence level of people who 'can't use a normal steaming wand'. The steaming wand on this unit is a totally normal steaming wand. I think the reviewer just didn't realize that it has a removable long outer stainless steel cuff for optional use. I hope they clue in soon, because that cuff needs to be removed and cleaned after every use to prevent a crusty buildup of burnt milk on the inside of it.

Now, on to why that stainless steel tube/cuff thingamajig (Breville's term for it is 'texture enhancer') is so useful: It enables the user to force the steam into the bottom of the milk jug, thereby making it a lot easier to fully heat the milk. I like my steamed milk piping hot, and this texture enhancer makes it a lot easier/quicker to reach higher temps. The other thing I've noticed about using it (and likely the reason for the name of the item), is that the texture of the milk foam it creates is so much nicer. The bubbles are tinier, the foam is smoother and creamier. Just divine.

The bubbles are tinier, the foam is smoother and creamier. Just divine.

Perfect kitchen counter espresso Maker

I bought the Breville ESP8XL in early 2012 after much review reading and procrastination. I've only used large professional/commercial style 2-4 group machines in my bakery and struggled with the thought of not quite as much steam head and big boiler mechanics in a small espresso maker.
One particular review captured my attention because it outlined the parameters of using the Breville and I expect many others in this price class. I was so thankful for the review and thought I could expand on it a bit more and add my process for making espresso in the Breville.
I'm extremely happy with the machine and almost a year later still am. In that time every couple of days I make two cups one right after the other. Cleaning it immediately after use, especially the steam wand & wand cover have kept me from any deep cleaning since I've owned it.

Steps to a great espresso brew:

1. Check water amount in water well- fill as needed

2. Turn ON Breville

3. Grind your coffee, I use a little blade coffee grinder and drip sized grind espresso coffee which I spin around until it has some fines and a little bit coarser coffee. (mix the fines that fall under the blade with the above blade part.) Experiment until you can execute this every time to the right consistency.
Note: too finely ground coffee will not allow the water through the group head (where you put the coffee) So if you ground the coffee to a powder by mistake - toss it out and try again.

4. Heat a some water in your electric kettle, microwave or stove/pot and pour into your espresso cups to pre-heat them.

5. Put your group head WITH OUT any coffee in it on the machine and run a little water through it. Keep it on the machine while you go to the next step. (this preheats it so the steam pressure and heat doesn't dissipate when you brew your espresso)

6. Steaming your milk or soy. I fill the pitcher that came with the machine about 1/3 full of milk. (leaving room for foam when it forms) Blow any water out of the steam wand into a clean towel-Watch out it's hot coming out. When it's sputtering without water squirting out put steam wand into your pitcher. Keep it well into the milk and keep a hand on the bottom of the pitcher to track temperature. When it begins to get warm you can move the steam wand near the surface and it will generate more foam.
--My past experience was to foam cold milk first then heat lower in the pitcher, but this reverse system works better in a small pitcher.
When milk is hot to touch and foamy turn steamer off, remove pitcher. Now blow the milk residue out of the wand with a towel over the end of it. Watch out it's hot coming out. If this is the last coffee your making pull the outer metal cylinder off, toss in sink and clean the wand thoroughly with a wet hot towel. Getting the cooked milk of now will save time later I guaranty.

7. Take your heated group handle off the machine and measure out your coffee from the grinder into it. Using a metal (my preference) or plastic tamper, press down firmly and twist. You might want to do this twice.

8. Stick into the machine, pour the hot water out of your cup and stick it under the group head, turn on the brewing switch. Rule of thumb on a professional machine is a 20 second pour. The pour should be slow to start and build more volume as it continues. Color should be dark and rich. On the Breville with it's special group cup I find a 30 second pour is good. When the stream of espresso turns a lighter color turn it off. Lighter color tends to be bitter (a over extracted coffee)
If all you are getting is a faint drip... drip...drip out of the group your coffee is to fine. Try grinding again.
You may have to work a little bit to find the perfect grind to pour time when you first get started with this machine. Moisture in the air, in your coffee etc. play into the grind size as well. Patience is good and a better Burr style grinder if you can afford it!

9.Mix up your steamed milk and foam, gentle pour it in your cup and sit down and enjoy!

10. Remember to Turn Off your machine and clean all the parts, group, up inside where the group sits, bottom tray, wand & cover thoroughly after using.

Please note that with any espresso machine if your cup & group is hot before you brew you'll have a far better espresso making experience!
This is not a heavy duty machine but very adequate for your daily cups. Making two cups in succession does not over tax the boiler.
Hope this helps in your research of counter top espresso makers. Cheers!

Tenía una Hamilton Beach versión de entrada hasta que se descompuso y la verdad la créma que se obtiene del café es excelente. Solo sigan la recomendaciones del manual de uso sobre todo el esperar a que la temperatura esté a nivel y liberar un poco sin café y limpiar los accesorios tras cada uso. Vale la pena hacer esos esfuerzos para conservar la máquina en óptimas condiciones.

Great Espresso maker
Reviewed in the United States on October 11, 2013

I have been using this espresso maker for about a week and so far I am very pleased with its performance. I have been visiting the local espresso shops for the past couple years without a espresso budget in mind, i was just buying when I felt the urge. I didn't realize how much I was spending on espressos weekly. The machine has a beautiful stainless steel design looks much better in person. It pours out the espresso perfectly based on reviews and videos I have used to compare with other high end machines. The taste is consistent not watery or strong. I matched it up with the Breville smart grinder and that too does excellent work. The milk steamer is powerful and heats up the milk quickly. I usually put my milk in the metal milk container and stick it in the freezer for about 5-10 min prior to making the espresso this helps with the frothing. Very easy to clean. I will get back in time with an update after a few months of use. So far I saved $40 on espresso this includes making a few cups for co-workers. So far 5 stars and I recommend.

10/16/13 update
OK I had an issue with espresso machine the other day. Here is what happened; I thought I blew a gasket or something. I was so irritated. I switch to a new bean Ethiopia from Starbucks and used the same grind as the previous bean. I ran the espresso machine and the coffee was coming in slow drips. I thought for a moment and decided to clean the portafilter. I ground some the same coffee and ran the espresso again. I hear a pop and water and coffee was squirting around the area. I stopped the machine and thought about the reviews I read about leaky espresso machines and blown gaskets and I thougt...That was mine and I will need to send this back or get a new gasket. I also read reviews about coffee being too fine and clogging the portafilter. So I tried it again. I gave the smart grinder a couple of clicks to the left and ran the espresso again and man the coffee came out fine. I was so relieved and glad that I took the time to read and learn about espresso makers before I purchased one.

That experience has taught me a lot about espressos makers, grinders and beans. It has become apparent to me that some beans can grind finer than other brands of beans and some espresso machines cannot handle too fine of a grind. The bean well I think its because how they are grown, the locations and elevations.

I see why some may have issues with espresso machines. I would say take the time to read or view some youtube videos on espresso machines. They are very insightful.

UPDATE 2/08/14
my espresso machine is doing great and it's been five months.It still puts out great creama and has been doing great on a variety of beans as if it has gotten better every time i use it. No clogging and it is still performing well. At this price, which is cheaper than what i bought st, I highly recommend this product. you will not be disappointed.

The machine is doing great and my coffee still taste great. Still a five star.

UPDATE 10/2/15
It's been a 3.5 years since I purchased the Breville espresso maker. I stopped using the steam wand over a year ago because it added water to the milk, but this was a blessing because I purchased the Breville milk cafe frother and I am so glad I did. The frother does an excellent job frothing. No more holding the container under the steam wand waiting for the steam to do it's job. I now just have to press a button on the frother and it's in it's own but not only that, I can add ingredients to the frother while it's frothing and also add the espresso shot for a perfect stir. So now I can froth and pull my espresso shots without having to wait for one to be done before the other. No matter what espresso machine you have of this type you may want to look into an external frother so it'll save you time. The Breville milk cafe is highly rated.

UPDATE 06/12/16
Ok I am blessed and happy to say that the expresso machine has been doing great in my opinion. It still perfoms and pulls shots like new. Has had no issues what so ever. This machine is great for the money. Breville makes some great products. I still make espressos for co-workers and they love it always ask when I will bring in espressos. I maintain it like recommended.

This cafe roma is about 8 years old and still running like a champ. I may purchase another for my cabin up north.

LOVE THIS MACHINE (replaced my old Krups)
Reviewed in the United States on May 20, 2009

I have to say, I absolutely love this machine! This is a preliminary review since I just got it today -- I will try to remember to do a follow-up review in about a month concerning the issues that others have brought up that seem to mainly appear only over a few weeks of use (i.e.: clogging filters). For now, these are my first impressions after having pulled 3 shots with frothed milk.

Up-front, this is not my first espresso machine; this one replaced my old, small, a little beat-up (but still functional!) Krups. It made a decent cup -- but the Breville puts my Krups to shame! I also tried another couple brands from some big-box outlets and took them all back, unsatisfied. So I am familiar with brewing espresso, even if I'm not a full-fledged barista. :)

These comparisons are mainly made as opposed to my Krups.

1) The warming plate gets noticeably hotter

2) The crema extracted is noticeably thicker and richer looking
2a) In order to achieve this result, I don't have to grind as finely nor tamp nearly as hard -- indeed, I haven't had to tamp with much pressure at all

3) The crema extracted stays a LOT warmer for longer

4) The shot is noticeably less bitter (ie: not bitter at all)

5) The frothed milk is absolutely better. My Krups required 2-3 frothing cycles per batch in order to get anything close to acceptable. This machine accomplishes MUCH BETTER... and in only 1 frothing cycle

6) The drip tray is WONDERFUL... 2 holes for the grouphead to drip it's excess into without dirtying the tray-top and an overflow indicator to warn you before you create a mess

7) With the exception of the measuring spoon/tamper, all of the other accessories were AWESOME. I love the double-walled espresso cups (2 included), and though I probably won't use the matching saucers, they are nice too. The included cleaning tool is SUPERB as it contains (all in one piece) the right sized tool to clean the froth-hole, a smaller tool to clean the pores of the filter-baskets should they become clogged, and a wrench to remove the frother-tip for periodic cleaning. The included spoon/tamper is "OK" -- it's certainly more durable than my Krups one, but it's still just plastic... I would have liked a nice stainless one to match the machine.

8) The water reservoir is a bit larger... and easier to read the fill-level (still not ideal, though, it really should have had a small LED light shining out from inside... but it can be read with a little care... my Krups one pretty much I couldn't ever see the water-level.

This machine is easy to use, easy to clean, and consists overall of less work than my Krups. It's obvious from just a few uses that when it comes time to give it a thorough cleaning (I usually do that about once/month) this one will be MUCH EASIER and the results will be superior.

But in the end what matters most are the results: the product I produced from this machine tastes JUST AS GOOD (if not better) AS MY LOCAL BARISTA. I am *VERY* satisfied! :)

All of that being said, let me emphasize that I am not comparing this to my old Krups as a way of suggesting that NEWER Krups's wouldn't also fare better; I'm sure they would. But my old Krups is what I have to compare this new machine to.

Also, I am sure many of the complaints of other reviewers are probably somewhat valid; however, it should be remembered that this is NOT a $1000 machine... it's not going to do everything for you. You are still going to have to do much of the work, especially clean-up & maintenance. But you are going to get a FANTASTIC product if you are just willing to put forth a little effort... and all for a reasonable price!

I am absolutely satisfied. I'll post my thoughts again in about a month.
