Leonid A. Malyutin –
It really pains me to write this review. I love this machine. I want to give it 5 stars. I’ve used this machine for almost 2 years now. The reason for the 2 stars??? Well, its what I’ve been through over those 2 years. In that time, I’ve had to send it back for repair, twice. This second time I fought hard to get a full refund and Breville agreed.What I Like – EVERYTHING about the machine’s functionality. If you use high quality beens, this machine makes amazing coffee consistently with little mess. it really is everything you want in a top end dual boiler machine.What I DON’T Like – IT BREAKS! By putting everything you could possibly want in one small package, all the parts need to be small, cheap, and mostly plastic. When it works, its great, when it doesn’t… read on.What I REALLY REALLY REALLY Don’t Like – Breville Customer Support. The machine pump broke about 1 year after purchase. Sent it for repair and it took 3 weeks to get the machine back… well, not exactly all of it. Just most of it. Parts were missing (and it was still broke when I got it back). Then they shipped a brand new machine, it worked fine. For 6 months… then it too broke, same issue. During the troubleshooting of the first issue, someone in the support team recommended descaling the machine with vinegar, even sent me a nice video on how to do it. I only came to find out with the second failure, from the same support team, that dual-boiler machines shouldn’t be descaled at all. I pushed to get a full refund after they asked me to send the unit back to them. They insisted that I’d be contacted by their accounting team once the unit arrived and a refund would be issued. That didn’t quite happen. I had to put in several irate phone calls after the machine arrived at their facilities to get a check issued.Breville: The CONCEPT of this machine is great. Make it actually work by using quality parts. Fire your support team as they don’t follow up on anything they say…a

I purchased my unit in late August of 2017, by June 2018 (9 months after purchase) our unit began to short out when heating up the element. We followed the upkeep regimen religiously.Sometimes these things happen and I wouldn’t necessarily hand out a 1 star for this alone (though apparently this is a known issue which blows my mind on a $2k unit), but our warranty repair process has been a complete joke.I contacted breville and was told that they would repair it under warranty – great! They would send a fedex label and box to return – even better!However, the return box took around 2 and a half weeks to arrive, the unit spent a half a week in transit and then another week at their repair station, by this point we’ve spent a month out of a coffee machine.The icing on the cake to all of this is that the unit which was apparently sent back to me, has now been mysteriously lost in their warehouse – I don’t recommend!
Amazon Customer –
I purchased 3 machines and have recommended the coffee maker to several friends. All 3 of my machines are now not working and one of my friends machine is not working.All of them have the same issue: water pump in the machine sounds like a lawn mower and will not pump water. Here is what I figured out: The machine requires you to clean the machine and prompts you to do so. So you follow the instruction and this is where the pump fails. It gets extremely hot during the clean process and overheats. The pump motor now will require more amps to operate because it was damaged by the over heating process, that kills the water pump. Frother has stopped working on 2 machines. Customer service will play you like a fiddle and you will invest a lot of time getting nowhere. At $2,000 each not a good buy.Paid $2,000 for this coffee maker 2 years ago and its now worthless. Breville should not be allowed to take advantage of trusting customers. This is robbery without a gun.
