    5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent machine when you are ready to move up to using an non-pressurized filter

But if you are ready, or plan to soon, move up to professional style non-pressurized filters, then this is a great machine for the beginner up through intermediate user at a very good price.One thing I want to say upfront, ALWAYS run an empty shot before making your espresso. The first shot runs about 20 degrees below the optimal 200 degrees and will result in an under-extracted espresso. It is also good to heat up your grouphead, portafilter and cup. It makes a very very good espresso that probably can only be beat by a $2.000+ machine. I used a non-pressurized filter on my previous machine, but noticed that the shots with the infuser brought some of the subtle tasted characteristics from my coffee beans. It is important to use a good quality conical burr grinder in order to grinds that are fine enough to use with a non-pressurized filter. I use the Breville smart grinder pro. I think this is a better way to go rather then getting the Breville Barista Express with the built-in grinder, for numerous reasons. One is that it is more flexible than the built-in one, which only has 30 settings. The smart pro has 60 settings so you can use it to get coarse grinds for a French press and other coffee makers. It is also much easier to clean and allows you to upgrade to a more advance espresso machine without having to buy a new grinder.The steaming wand works very well after a small bit of practice. There are some videos on youtube that are helpful. After some research it seemed the best milk to use is grassfed whole milk. So I bought organic grassfeed whole milk, and wow it is the way to go. It tastes great and easy to get an excellent microfoam. I highly recommend that you give it a try.The pressure gauge looks cool, but is totally unnecessary. I wish the tamper were a heavier all metal construction, though this lighter one is needed to use the magnetic holder, which is convenient. The tamper words oaky, so I will just have to get used to it. Overall this is a great machine at this price.update: 13December:thought I would address of common complaints I've noticed in some reviews. One being that it uses too much water and that the drip trays fills up to fast. Both are due to the fact that the steam wand purges (through the back of the tray) hot water after use, which is good so that if you pull another shot the water won't be too hot. To me, it's not a big deal to refill it. As far as the tray filling up, just do what I do ... empty the tray each time you use it. It is very simple and only takes a few seconds. A plus is that the tray design is very easy to remove and install .. it is really no big deal at all.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Review After Two+ Years of Daily Use: Durable, Excellent Machine

    L.D. · July 25, 2021

    Despite being really happy with this espresso machine, I have held off on writing a review for it too early because my main concern when parting with the money for such an expensive item was its durability. Having owned it for a little over 2 years now (purchased May 16 2009), I think that I can now feel comfortable sharing my opinion.I worked at a coffee bar 20 years ago, and, since that time, I've have always wanted an espresso machine for my home. The problem always was that they are very expensive. When I was 19, I was too broke to afford one. Now, at 39, I'm just cheap, and I was held back by the nagging idea that, no matter how good the coffee that comes out of it is, it'd be really financially unwise to spend a lot of money on an espresso machine unless it would last many years.My wife and I first met at that coffee bar where I worked in the early 2000's, and we bought this machine on our 10th wedding anniversary. I did as much research as I could beforehand, and I don't regret the decision.It makes espresso and foams milk every bit as good as the professional machine that I used 20 years ago. The portafilter is no different from a professional machine. The steam has slightly lower pressure, so it takes somewhat longer to steam milk, but it is able to make foamed milk with the exact same quality as a professional machine, too. No complaints there. I can make espressos, americanos, cappuccinos, lattes, etc that are better than the local coffee shop's. I use a manual burr grinder to grind my coffee (a Lido 2) and use freshly roasted coffee. The espresso is amazing, and my mom and sister come to my house just to get me to make them some.I've had zero problems with durability. I use the machine almost every day, and it just works with no problems. The company includes instructions for maintenance that makes me think they are paranoid that people are going to be trying to make espresso using pond water and then lodge complaints when they end up with problems. I followed those instructions for the first month or two and then stopped worrying about it. I haven't ever changed the water filter in the tank, and I haven't run a cleaning cycle on it in over 2 years. I do use reverse osmosis filtered water which won't gunk up the machine with mineral deposits. It makes the coffee taste better, anyway. Why would you spend so much money for something that makes amazing coffee and then use sink water?I don't necessarily recommend you not follow the company's instructions, but I feel confident at this point that the machine is well-made and doesn't need to be meticulously maintained to avoid problems. I would use filtered water, though. You also really will need a burr grinder (and they're not that cheap... i think my manual grinder was $180) and somewhat fresh coffee. I have tried making a shot using cheap coffee that's probably been sitting on the grocery store shelf for months. It will make a shot, but it's hard to get the water pressure right, and it is noticeably less tasty.So that's my review. Overall, the cost of these machines is intimidating, but this one is capable of making 100% professional quality espresso and steamed milk. You just have to use fresh coffee and a burr grinder for even particle size. The machine is well-made. It isn't going to break down on you after just a year or 2 of use even if you aren't faithful with cleaning and maintenance. It seems like the cleaning/maintenance instructions are concerned a lot about hard water, so just use good water. I think it's an excellent value--much, much cheaper than daily trips to Starbucks! I'm really glad I bought it and recommend it without hesitation.

    Impressive Espresso Machine!

We decided it was time to retire our old Starbucks Barista and did some research. As we already have a good grinder, the Breville The Infuser had excellent reviews and so we decided to give it a try. We were not disappointed. Once you get the grind correct, this machine produces amazing espresso. The pressure gauge was essential in determining the correct grind. It took several test shots while adjusting the grind to get it just right. The machine comes with a good instruction book, quick start guide, a variety of filter baskets, measuring scoop, tamper, leveling tool, cleaning tool and stainless steel milk frothing jug. Initially, we did have some difficulty opening the water tank and we would prefer it if the machine was a bit heavier. The filter baskets are also difficult to remove from the portafilter. However, despite these little quirks, the Infuser is a great espresso machine for the price.

    Preciosa.

    Es un producto bellísimo. Funciona bien y cumple básicamente las exigencias de las bebidas. Buenos materiales. Muy elegante.

    9 years of ownership and still going strong!

    E.G. · February 12, 2022

    We had this machine back in 2015 to replace another Breville product; Cafe Roma. The first one, Cafe Roma lasted 2 weeks short of 10 years. This newer Breville is a big improvement over the previous one. It takes half the time to warm up for the first coffee cup of the morning. Also, the pump feels stronger and can push water through more finer grinded coffee=more tasteful coffee cup. The bigger water tank is a big benefit on this unit. So far i can say that we have brew in the vicinity of 11000 cups of coffee with this machine. We did use the hot water spout many times for a quick tea cup. If you think about it carefully, the price of the machine divided over that many cups is not much! I can confidently say that we didn’t experience any issues of any kind with this machine, this is sign of a higher quality product. Breville seems like it is making a name for itself. When this machine will stop working one day, we will buy another Breville. If you care about the longevity and reliability, this machine is for you!*Update, as of September 2022, i will need to open up the machine and find why the pressure is low. Also, there is just too much water in the tray to ignore it after brewing a single cup. Stay tuned for the update on the repair!**Update 2; after opening the back of the machine, i did a complete inspection and cleaned up the solenoid valves. The 3/2 solenoid valve was probably stuck open and sending warmed water to the hot water/steam wand when it shouldn’t, loosing pressure doing so. The shower head was in need of a big cleaning. Gasket ordered from Breville for less then 10$. Also, i noticed that the safety valve(located below the pump outlet) has a weak spring. This makes some pressure getting lost towards the tray. I will have to find a stronger spring to solve this issue. I included some pictures of the internals of the machine. As you can see, everything is super accessible and made to be repaired if it eventually fails. The pump is an Ulka, Italian brand. All low pressure hoses are 3/8 ''od food grade. Really pleased with the repairability of this machine. All is now in perfect working order, almost like a new unit.**Update3, April 2024: i replaced the inline water filter and also the overpressure valve. These 2 parts were causing low pressure issues. The machine is now back to normal operation. These 2 parts could be purchased locally as they were not listed here. Part number are : SP0001461 and SP0001539.Please let me know if this review is helpful. Thank you!

    Wonder espresso machine

    A.D. · April 2, 2024

    I started with a Cafe Roma, had it for years and sadly it eventually stopped working. Maybe not so sad though. I purchased a Duo Temp Pro and that just upped my coffee experience.....but it wasn't the unit I wanted. I really liked using the Pro, but I wanted an Infuser, but found it to be on the pricey side, so the Pro was purchased on a great sale price. Along comes a sale on the Infuser..hooray!.This is so much nicer to have. Automatic 1 or 2 cup settings that you can adjust to your choice. You can adjust the water temp to, but I havent gone there yet. It stays on forever, so you can warm things up ahead of time. The duo pro had a nasty habit of a timer that kicked in at 5 minutes and turned the unit off. I like the pressure guage as it helps you make adjustments in grind and tamping. This is a great feature for a beginner. Eventually, I doubt I'll pay too much attention to it as I get used to the machine. It has a small foot print on the counter and looks great.The Infuser is fairly quick to heat up. I don't need instant heat like the Bambinos. By the time I grind my beans and prep them, the water is hot. What I really like is that once the coffee is made, the unit stops sending water and removes it off the puck, so you actually get the amount you chose. The advantage is, you can select your size and walk away. The Duo Temp did not do that and it drove me crazy when I had to manually stop the water flow, but the residual cont to come out. Get good beans and a good grinder and you'll have a great coffee. I buy the whole beans from Costco online, they are so much better than what they have on the shelf. Watch a few videos on how to froth your milk silky and you will be waking up to a wonderful coffee everyday

    Trustworthy coffee machine for mornings

    O. · January 8, 2024

    This is the perfect Espresso machine.Simple machine with not too many bells and whistles but makes delicious and easy Espresso.This Breville is just the right size and will not take all your counter space. With a medium water reservoir in the back and a small filter to removed some minerals. There is only a few buttons like on/off, a program button to adjust the amount of water coffee to your liking and 1 and 2 cups buttons. You also have a switch on the side to operate the steam wand for the milk on the weekend mornings.It warms up really quickly (about 15-20 seconds) and is ready for the family morning rush. It does have a pressure gauge that will indicate if your coffee grind is too coarse or too fine but since I get it from a reputable local coffee shop I rarely watch it. The maintenance is easy with only 1 filter in the water tank and you must use a tablet with a rinsing cycle occasionally. This one allows for filtered water who result in less maintenance (I highly recommend it). There is an overflow bin who must be cleaned regularly but it is rather easy and very quick.
