This will be my initial product review based on unboxing it and having tried it out once. I will update in 6 months and then a year. Let’s get the major concern some may have with this machine, the sticker shock. Yes, it is pricey. Yes, the juice is worth the squeeze on first impressions. I have owned a number of coffee makers over the years (Cuisinart, KitchenAid, most recent was a Keurig Duo Plus) so this review is in comparison to those. I decided to replace the Keurig as it was no longer making a full pot no matter how often I descale it and I am diligent on doing that. It was also leaking water, from where I could not determine, but that might explain why it would not brew a full pot despite the water tank still having plenty in it.
This coffee maker is solidly built. The thermal carafe is heavy, so it is properly insulated. The water tank is big with a big opening and clearly marked and legible water level indicators. The basket filter basket is big and easy to insert and it does not have to go in any specific way. It will click in place if you insert it straight on, sideways, maybe just not upside down. Much more solid feeling than the Keurig. It fits perfectly under my cabinets as well and despite it’s size and heft, takes up less real estate than the Keruig or any of the others I have had.
Set-up is easy, just read through the manual first, which has clear and concise instructions. Measuring your water hardness is easy as well. The dial on the front to set the time, water hardness, brew style, filter basket style, etc is easy to read and navigate. Setting up the auto-start function is also a breeze (yes, heretical as it may seem to java purists, I use this setting during the week to have my coffee ready by the time I am out of the shower and ready for my first cup while I log in to work). The Keurig was pretty much easy to use to brew coffee but set-up was not. The method to set the time was not the easiest. Setting the auto-start time was very convoluted to say the least.
Brewing coffee – I used the Gold setting as that is the express purpose of this machine and other top-tier machines, brewing coffee according to SCA standards. We use Farmers Brothers coffee as that is what most restaurants in our area use and we like the taste of that particular coffee (again, java purists will be mortified, but like with wine or beer, drink what you like). While the coffee in our previous makers was good, it never achieved that restaurant flavor (most restaurants use the Bunn coffee brewers and while I have not seen them indicate they brew to SCA standards, the quality of their brew is pretty dang good). With the Breville, the taste matched what I taste from this brand of coffee at restaurants. It was delicious! And it was hot! With the Keurig, I would have to microwave my creamer to warm it up, otherwise the coffee would cool down too much. Not with the Breville. Furthermore, I drink a cup at home and on the days I have to go to the office, I pack a cup to go in a Contigo cup. With the Keurig, when I got too work, about a 20 min ride, the coffee would be warm but not hot. Today, I arrived at the office and the coffee was still hot. And still as tasty as the first cup I had at home.
First impressions are important and the Breville has made a good, strong first impression. Time will tell if it can maintain the lofty standard it set but I will update review.
If you are on the fence. buy it. The juice is worth the squeeze.

Si pudiera, la devolvería de inmediato. Estaba entre esta y la Moccamaster. Compré esta máquina al ver los reviews en youtube y acá. Por favor, vayan por una moccamaster, por algo las cafeterías de especialidad de TODO EL MUNDO las ocupan. Gran error cometí al comprar esta Breville… La presión del agua/vapor que genera la configuración “gold” es tan fuerte que dobla el filtro de papel sobre la cama de café en AL MENOS 8 de 10 veces. Tengo que tener un limpia pipa de metal y una linterna al lado de una máquina de 8000 pesos para hacer café, para cuando el vapor doble el filtro y yo lo pueda corregir. Eso implica que si no estoy poniendo atención, en varias ocasiones queda un café “a medias” muy aguado… eso implica café $$$ y filtros $ que se van directo a la basura.

Love the HOT coffee

First thing I noticed was the packaging of the coffee machine was superb, reflecting the pride the company has in their product (a box in a box in another box!)
. The coffee maker was easy to assemble, and the directions and suggestions for brewing were easy to understand. It has a beautiful, smooth stainless steel finish.
There are a lot of options for the serious coffee lover, but I suggest you try the gold setting first. The coffee brews quickly, and stays hot in the well insulated carafe for about 2 hours. It is delicious and tastes just the same 2 hours later. I like that you can put the carafe anywhere, the coffee will still be hot and delicious an hour or two later. The carafe cleans easily with warm water and a mild dish detergent. The opening is wide enough to put an average size adult hand inside to clean. The basket comes with a cone insert for brews of less than 6 cups,. For larger brews the basket comes with a gold mesh filter or you can use a paper filter. The cone requires a cone-shaped paper filter. I recommend Melita brand. I have used this coffee maker every day for three weeks and now my favorite setting is Strong, with 6 level scoops of ground coffee, and a water level of 6 cups. I use good quality, freshly ground coffee and use the scoop that came with this coffee maker. This is the best coffee maker I have ever purchased.

I’ve owned a lot of coffee makers and this is hands down the best I’ve ever used. With high quality hardware, you can feel the quality when you use it. Easy to use, easy to clean, a great suite of features and the coffee is the best. The stainless crafe keeps the coffee hot for hours. Look no further this is the one. Well worth the money 💰.

I spent months reviewing coffee machines and settled on this. I bought the pour over adapter separately, and it arrived about a week after the coffee machine. Our initial impressions of the coffee maker were good. It’s very nice looking and the basic coffee features worked well. It made a very tasty cup of coffee.
The main knob seemed flimsy and the menu was not intuitive. Once I got the pour over device, I basically pressed a bunch of buttons until it started, because none of it made sense. We found out later, from the Breville Customer Support Person, that the reason the packaging box and directions didn’t match our machine exactly is because the packaging and documentation we received was for the European version of the machine, and the machine itself was for the US!
The main frustrations occurred when we received the pour over adapter. This is hard to describe, but there is a flange underneath the brew basket that has a ball shape on the end. When you use the carafe for regular coffee, this ball and flange connects the brew basket with the carafe.
When using the pour over adapter, this ball and flange rises during the brew cycle as the water empties from the tank. By the time the tank is nearly empty, the ball has risen high enough that it knocks the pour over device and Hario Dripper to one side, titling it to the point that water starts to spill out. There is no obvious way to stop this and it renders the pour over feature useless.
We contacted Breville Customer Service. It took 4 hours for them to answer! The rep, Cecilia, was very pleasant and helpful. She set up a video call so I could show her the problem instead of trying to explain it to her. She saw the problem and set up a return label, which went seamlessly. About a week later, the replacement arrived. I anxiously set it up and tested the pour over, and it has the same malfunction as the first one did! In our experience, it was a 100% failure rate!
We tried to call Breville Customer Service again, and as of this writing, nearly 4 hours later, have not received our return call. While we waited, we read the reviews more thoroughly and saw at least one that described exactly the same issue. There were other disappointing reviews about the reliability of the machine, poor customer service, etc. We read that Breville only had a store credit policy, rather than a refund, and decided then and there to stop wasting our time.
I contacted Amazon, requested a refund, and promptly tool it back to UPS. You may get lucky and get a machine that works right from day one, but you may have any number of problems. The machine may work fine for a few months until the return time or warranty runs out. My advice is to keep looking for a coffee maker and forget about this pretty face!
