Great video! Thanks for sharing your espresso journey with us! I'm thinking of getting one of these machines, but I can't see my wife having the patience to learn how to use it. Unless it has one button that says 'coffee' on it, learning about blend strength, grind size, timing and creating the perfect puck is going to be challenging. I however love all this stuff, so maybe I'm a coffee geek! Would you still recommend this machine 1 year on?

13secs way too fast! Under extraction! Grind finer to meet the 25-30secs demand! Btw I returned it years ago because the brew temperature really gets on my nerves for below brew temp! It cannot achieve hottest temperature from 93c-95c! Unforgiving on Breville part for releasing such an inferior product! Super sour and bitter shots on dark roast!

Amazing video, we do need more videos that are quick and straight to the point. Might I make a little suggestion, though? Spraying the beans in the grinder catch cup leaves it moist, so some of the finer grinds will stick inside it. While that might not be a particularly bad thing for the coffee taste, it means you have to clean the catch cup every time. You can use a separate ceramic espresso cup for weighing and spraying the beans. BTW, Your videos should have a lot more views!!!
