    What an Upgrade!

    I have had, used, and loved my Breville Creatista Plus using Nespresso pods for about 7 years. The machine still functioned well, but it was just starting to slow down. I had been waiting for an excuse to upgrade, got a raise at work, and decided to treat myself to a new machine. Boy, am I glad I did.

    Great idea terribly implemented. Must recalibrate grind and dose settings every use. Wasteful.

    Consistency. That's what I expect from a good espresso machine. At 66yrs old, this was my 5th espresso machine in the $1000 + price range. Most of my other machines, all super-automatics, lasted a minimum of 10 years. My Jura J9 lasted 10 years and was still making quality espresso when I sold it.

    Great machine

    Easy cleaning and set up. Good quality. Heats espresso and milk very well. Easy to follow instructions and videos. Very happy with the purchase. I would recommend.Update after a few months of use: Love, love, love it! Heats up quickly and gets coffee as hot as coffee shop.

    BEST No Thinking Required Espresso Machine!

    I had my previous Breville espresso machine for 10 years and I used it every single day. We replaced some rubber gaskets in it a few times but other than that - it outlasted every machine.
