Title: OK...for a while
Review: I've had the machine for over two years now. It made OK espresso for an inexpensive machine but the real problems started when I'd had it a while. Because you have to place the espresso cups just so underneath the machine, it's necessary to get down at eye-level to make sure the brewed espresso doesn't miss it's mark. The first clue I had that the machine was starting to fail was I was splashed in the face with scalding water while trying to ensure the espresso was going where it should! I thought this was a fluke and blamed myself for not locking the basket properly. Some time later, the same thing happened. Finally, the machine spews hot water regularly now...the water actually bypassing the basket entirely and spewing everywhere resulting in cups full of brown water, not espresso.I emailed the company and never heard a word. If I had, I may have considered replacing this one with another Breville. I'll buy another brand now.
