Pros: The Breville BES870XL espresso machine has a built-in grinder, pressure gauge, scale and nearly every other bell and/or whistle a home barista could ask for. Breville is also known for its excellent customer service.
Cons: There is a high learning curve with this machine, and it's probably not a good choice for beginners. Users have also reported machine failure after 12 to 18 months, which is not much time considering the machine's price tag.
Summary: Users who have learned to use the Breville like it a great deal. It's an advanced machine for home use, but does deliver great results, and is one of the best machines on the market.
