Title: Briel Chamonix
Review: I bought this from a 'GoldBox' deal on Amazon. I loved it - at first. Easy to use, easy to clean up. Drawbacks have been well documented - the main one for me was the low height of the brewhead - very hard to find a large enough container to capture a double shot. The unit I have died after about 6 months - no consistent steam pressure. Sometimes, it works great - most of the time, it takes 20-25 minutes to get enough steam to heat a pitcher of milk. I tried everything, from cleaning out the water feed tube, to the steam wand. No good.Luckily, I received a new higher-end machine for Christmas (Starbucks Barista). Frankly, The Briel unit looks, feels and is cheap comparably to the Barista. This would be expected for a machine 1/4 of the price. I only wish it would have worked longer, but I love my new machine! I would have given the Briel unit 4 stars had it not failed to work after six months.
