Customers are mixed about the quality of the coffee machine. Some mention it makes really good espresso, the best coffee machine they've ever owned, and produces the best crema. However, others say that the plastic is inadequate and often falls off, making weak espresso. The wand is too short and stubby, and the product has a rather plasticky brew-head handle.

"...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...." Read more

Customers are mixed about the cleanliness of the coffee maker. Some mention that it's simple to clean, easy to use, and the included cleaning tool is superb. However, others say that the clean up is a bit time consuming, the steam wand is awkward to clean and the spots wouldn't clean up.

Customers are mixed about the size of the coffee maker. Some mention it's not too big for a counter top, nor does it mess up aesthetics. The water reservoir was a good size, and it does not take up a lot of counter space. However, others say that the provided milk steaming container is too small, the reservoir is smaller, and the frothing jug is tiny.

"...The unit's frothing jug though is tiny and it will only accommodate enough milk for up to two cappuccinos, or one latte...." Read more

"...The water reservoir is a bit larger... and easier to read the fill-level..." Read more

"...Anything finer than that I've noticed pulls way too long, and anything courser will be under extracted...." Read more

"...The knob turns from brew to froth, there is no built in control on shot size so you have to eyeball it unless you have measurements on your espresso..." Read more

68 customers mention0 positive68 negative

Customers are dissatisfied with the water quality of the espresso machine. They mention that it drips water a lot, and the steam function is not working properly.

"...I hear a pop and water and coffee was squirting around the area...." Read more

"...manually shut it off to have it stop making the espresso, it leaves a bunch of water on the top of the used grounds and that spills all over when..." Read more

Would NOT Buy Again

Would NOT Buy Again
I'm returning my Breville Cafe Roma one week after receiving. Much of the blame falls on Breville for LOUSY, incomprehensibly foolish instructions. Is it possible I got a lemon - sure. In fact I was certain this was the case. In reading other reviews, I don't think so.I'm not a barista but I know what good espresso is supposed to taste and look like. Breville says in the instruction manual not to use a COMMERCIAL espresso grind. In other words, don't go into Starbucks and ask them to do it. Incredibly, the manual has two color photos depicting a home espresso grind versus a commercial espresso grind. NO ONE, short of Superman, or an X-Ray machine, can tell a difference.The first grind I tried was a Starbucks Commercial Espresso grind - as I had bought some in anticipation of the unit's arrival. It made one very slow cup of very good tasting espresso. Within three shots the filter was essentially clogged. MY FAULT. So, I returned to Starbucks to buy a different grind who seemed baffled by Breville's advice.So despite my original grind looking EXACTLY like both pictures and fitting Breville's absurd description: "Should be like sand that adheres to your fingers" (and slightly turns them brown,) wrong grind. Starbucks told me the next grind was a '4,' that is the next THICKER grind. Thinking that would be too coarse, we chose halfway between Espresso and '4.' Now the shots are weaker BUT - AND THIS IS THE CRITICAL THING, the shots still pull too slowly. Worst of both worlds.Other grinds don't work either. I'll be honest, the espresso still tastes pretty good and that's the sad thing - the potential for great espresso from this machine seems to be present.I talked to SIX professional espresso repair shops in Washington, Oregon and California after my first 3 shots - all on the first day! I was so mad I wanted professional advice. All said that the grind was too fine. Yet going coarser did not fix the problem.Two of the six recommended the Philips Carina Superautomatic Espresso Machine - and one of those two did not carry Philips; both recommendations seemed quite informed and sincere. It costs a hundred bucks more than the Breville Roma. The repair shops said operation would be trouble free and I'll spend 39 bucks for an extra year protection plan. My former boss's ancient Philips coffee machine (not espresso) produced "best coffee I've ever had" type of results, so I'm hopeful.Of the six repair shops I consulted, the most famous (in Portland) in terms of youtube hits (hundreds of thousands) was honest when I said "how much to spend for completely reliable results?" Their answer: "About $1000.00." While this business did not recommend the Philips when I told the owner I'd probably buy the Philips, he told me to expect good results.Two other of the six said home espresso machines were notoriously unreliable. The gal at my local Bed, Bath, Beyond (and I realize this is not scientific whereas the shops I spoke to are probably truly expert advice) said she'd tried almost every model Bed Bath sells and at the $700.00 price point is where she felt the machines were finally somewhat reliable.Breville gave me an RMA with a sincere apology. Unfortunately, the terms of the return - not ONE THING including original packaging can be missing, or no return, were presented very rudely.For me, this was a strikeout and not a base hit. From the moment the machine arrived...

5.0 out of 5 stars 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 Amazon 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.
