Although I bought this product from Bed Bath and Beyond several months back and have been meaning to review it...thought I would at least get it out here. This is my first espresso machine, it's overwhelming researching this type of product and come to a final decision on WHICH one to buy! I took the plunge, mostly because BBB offers great discounts and coupons, so I used my 20% off on this baby! I do love it; the espresso tastes lovely and the steam function works well. I love the fact that the grinder is built in; however, on the flip side I try not to make it a point to buy a product with multiple functions such as this because if one breaks down, you lose the entire unit to repair...but fortunately, all is well! I can make myself the perfect latte or cappuccino, every time. Here are some of the draw backs: You waste a lot of ground coffee; it spills over while grinding. My only other complaint would be that where you put the beans to slide down and be ground isn't very aerodynamic...I find myself having to push them down the chute. But otherwise, I love it! I'm also wondering why you have to use regular water...as instructed, I still use filtered water. Enjoy!

I purchased an Italian model for my new home recently but it was a built in model and I needed to buy another machine for my latest home. The Breville was far and away superior. I like the multi function, it is a neat looking and compact bench model but best of all it makes a super coffee. A little bit of trial and error on ground size etc but that is all in the fun - the end result is a great coffee. Stylish and user friendly - my wife and I think it's terrific.

I have owned 2 other brands of espresso makers. This is by far the best home machine I have seen. Easy to use and makes great drinks. I purchased my machine almost a year ago and have had no problems of any kind.

I've used this machine at work for over 2 years now; well, this espresso machine has been run over 50 times a day and never has failed. Breville BES860XL is simple, easy to operate and maintain machine. Highly recommend.

About Breville
In 1932, O'Brien and good friend and fellow engineer, Harry Norville, decided to pool their resources and start their own business manufacturing radios. In the 1970s Breville, imbued with a "we-can-do-it" attitude and a healthy dose of Australian ingenuity, unleashed a series of appliances on the world that would become kitchen icons.
By the 1990s, consumer attitudes and lifestyles had changed with an increasing awareness of healthful cooking. Families also began experimenting in the kitchen with Asian and Mediterranean cuisines and Breville responded by developing high performance electric woks and health grills.
As health-conscience consumers grew in number, Breville recognized the need for a machine that would produce fresh and delicious juices. This led to the invention of the world acclaimed Juice Fountain™. Before the Juice Fountain™, making juice was a messy task. This remarkable piece of engineering removed the need to cut fruit.
All Breville® products are as beautiful as they are functional. Any kitchen will be enhanced by the contemporary, sleek designs that Breville® has to offer. From blenders and juicers, to toasters and coffee makers, Breville® lets you get the most flavor and nutrition from your food for better tasting, healthier eating. After all, you and your family deserve no less!
