After all the recommendations I read about this espresso machine, I was disappointed. I liked some of basic style of the machine, but it did not make as strong of espresso that I prefer for a latte. It had a manual on/off for pulling a shot and even doubling the volume still left it weak flavor. My old Sienna from Starbucks had an option for a double shot that was just a push of the button and it automatically shut off. Frother did not create a good amount of foam, it was barely frothy. My old Sienna had a manual knob where you could control the amount of steam but the Breville was either on or off for steam.
Also, beware of buying from Richmond Sales because if you need to return, in addition to return postage, they charge you the original shipping fee plus a 10% restocking fee. Ordering a refurbished $219 machine ended up costing me over a hundred dollars when I returned it. Being used to Amazon's return policy and their excellent customer service, I did not read the fine print when buying from a different seller. Needles to say, I was shocked and learned a hard lesson to order only from Amazon.com.Best Buy Breville 800ESXL Best Price, Buy Now! [Click Here!]
