Average Rating: out of 5 stars
Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Great, but I have questions...
This is my first "real" espresso maker after the Krups machine we had for some years.Overall I'm very happy with it, but I have some questions (which are probably due to my lack of coffee making skills).

1) Some reviewers here talk about a pressurized vs an unpressurized basket.How does that effect the coffee and the crema, and which is preferred?

2) The instruction book states that "Twenty seconds is generally sufficient to make two 30 ml espresso shots".Mine only ... Read More

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Awesome machine, coffee and design
I think this machine it's great. It does all it's supposed to do. Rich consistent flavorful coffee, lots of crema and then the modern, sleek design... it looks great. This is a heavy machine with simple, elegant buttons. This is the Bose of expresso makers!

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Very good budget espresso machine, with a couple small flaws
I did extensive research on machines before finally settling on this Breville. I've now used this machine for a couple months. Look wise its a beautiful machine, I love the brushed metal look and the aqua colored tank looks great.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - I love my breville Ikon
I absolutely love my espresso machine. Lovely espresso, Quick, Stylish. Just do yourself a favor and get it. (I got refurbished one and it works perfectly for 7 months now.)

I don't usually write reviews but I had to do it for this one. :)

Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Average Brew
I have used a Starbucks barista for over 10 years so I sort of know how to make espresso, but wanted to upgrade recently. Like many here I too found this unit marked down so I purchased it. To make a long story short, no matter what type of espresso, how I grind it, or how hard it is pressed down in the basket, I get the same result. A quick black brew and then it immediately turns clear and watery, and yes this is a shot glass amount, no over watering. I am very disappointed and plan to return the ... Read More
