    AN AMAZING MACHINE!!! AWESOME COFFEE!!!

    Ok, I am going to try to split this into two sections- the short review and an extended review.The short review: It is AMAZING and well worth the expense. Buy good beans and you are good to go.The longer review:First of all, this machine is expensive so I would look for any sort of sale.

    The literal best cup of coffee in the world

    I could talk for an hour about this machine. I love it! It was definitely expensive, but worth the price.Some notes: seriously, its the best coffee drink I can make or find. While you can see all the normal functions, customizing my own drink was life-changing (I'm 50/50 if that's hyperbole, it's that good).

    Extremely Poor Service

    ** Updated review**....InitialIy I was very pleased with the service that I received from Breville. After receiving a defective product, they said that they would send me a shipping box and return label to return the product so they could either fix/repair it.
