134 customers mention108 positive26 negative

Customers like the ease of use of the kitchen product. For example, they mention that it's very easy to use, the instructions are clear, and making shots is pretty simple. The basket is not too difficult to insert or remove for cleaning, and it doesn't take too long to heat the boiler. Customers also appreciate the easy-to-remove and install water container, and the fact that it is a cinch to get up and running. Overall, customers find the product to be a perfect starter at home espresso machine for people who don't want to use pods.

"...This machine is easy to use, easy to clean, and consists overall of less work than my Krups...." Read more

"...Sturdy, mostly made of metal, easy to use, makes great espresso for a lower priced machine. You'd probably have to pay $1,000 to get better coffee...." Read more

57 customers mention51 positive6 negative

Customers like the appearance of the kitchen product. They say it's good looking, sturdy, and solid, with a very nice "Guinness effect". They also appreciate the double-walled espresso cups and the metal build and design features. They mention that the product is compact and not an eye sore.

"...The machine has a beautiful stainless steel design looks much better in person...." Read more

"...I love the double-walled espresso cups (2 included), and though I probably won't use the matching saucers, they are nice too...." Read more

"...The water container looks good, but the water-level window will get fogged up upon steaming milk, luckily this will clear up after 20-30..." Read more

"...It’s a solid machine and looks great on my countertop...." Read more

155 customers mention102 positive53 negative

Customers are mixed about the value of the coffee maker. Some mention it's good for the price, while others say it' a real drag for the money. The coffee tasted flat and way below average, while some say it made a weak espresso. The machine looks good, but is not fantastic. It's a weakness point in the Cafe Roma machine, and customers have had to replace the portafilter.

"...Has had no issues what so ever. This machine is great for the money. Breville makes some great products...." Read more

"...are just willing to put forth a little effort... and all for a reasonable price!I am absolutely satisfied...." Read more

"...So far it has made a weak espresso even though I am using a high grade bean and a grind as the instructions show...." Read more

"...reliable expresso unbelievable the very best I ever had great value for the money" Read more

148 customers mention86 positive62 negative

Customers are mixed about the durability of the kitchen product. Some mention it is a heavy, strong, well-built espresso machine that will continue to produce great espresso, while others say that the unit was not of quality construction like the rest of their models, and the espresso quality was a bit inconsistent. The wand is too short and stubby, and it has a less sturdy handle. The box came ripped and had a crack.

"...I like the build materials too - mostly all stainless steel - feels solid, especially when you slide it around on top of the counter as I have to do..." Read more

"...This is not a heavy duty machine but very adequate for your daily cups. Making two cups in succession does not over tax the boiler...." Read more

"...Sturdy, mostly made of metal, easy to use, makes great espresso for a lower priced machine. You'd probably have to pay $1,000 to get better coffee...." Read more

"...Much better built quality than other cheaper units...." Read more

79 customers mention50 positive29 negative

Customers are mixed about the ease of cleaning the coffee maker. Some mention that cleaning is a breeze with the removable tray, while others say that all the pieces/parts take forever to clean and the frothing wand is too short and stubby. Some customers also mention that the stains wouldn't clean up and the filters were dirty. Overall, the opinions are mixed, and it's recommended to read the reviews carefully before making a purchase.

"...Very easy to clean. I will get back in time with an update after a few months of use...." Read more

"...The steam wand is awkward to clean. It has a metal tube over it, to help make foam for things like latte'. The tube gets cooked on milk inside...." Read more

"...The included cleaning tool is SUPERB as it contains (all in one piece) the right sized tool to clean the froth-hole, a smaller tool to clean the..." Read more

Customers are dissatisfied with the leakage of the coffee maker. They mention that it drips water a lot, the steam function is not effective, and the drip tray gets full of liquid after just one use. The steam wand discharges water initially, and it does not always leak. However, it does spill all over and the puck is always wet.

"...I hear a pop and water and coffee was squirting around the area...." Read more

"...manually shut it off to have it stop making the espresso, it leaves a bunch of water on the top of the used grounds and that spills all over when..." Read more

"...Within three shots the filter was essentially clogged. MY FAULT...." Read more

I'm returning my Breville Cafe Roma one week after receiving. Much of the blame falls on Breville for LOUSY, incomprehensibly foolish instructions. Is it possible I got a lemon - sure. In fact I was certain this was the case. In reading other reviews, I don't think so.I'm not a barista but I know what good espresso is supposed to taste and look like. Breville says in the instruction manual not to use a COMMERCIAL espresso grind. In other words, don't go into Starbucks and ask them to do it. Incredibly, the manual has two color photos depicting a home espresso grind versus a commercial espresso grind. NO ONE, short of Superman, or an X-Ray machine, can tell a difference.The first grind I tried was a Starbucks Commercial Espresso grind - as I had bought some in anticipation of the unit's arrival. It made one very slow cup of very good tasting espresso. Within three shots the filter was essentially clogged. MY FAULT. So, I returned to Starbucks to buy a different grind who seemed baffled by Breville's advice.So despite my original grind looking EXACTLY like both pictures and fitting Breville's absurd description: "Should be like sand that adheres to your fingers" (and slightly turns them brown,) wrong grind. Starbucks told me the next grind was a '4,' that is the next THICKER grind. Thinking that would be too coarse, we chose halfway between Espresso and '4.' Now the shots are weaker BUT - AND THIS IS THE CRITICAL THING, the shots still pull too slowly. Worst of both worlds.Other grinds don't work either. I'll be honest, the espresso still tastes pretty good and that's the sad thing - the potential for great espresso from this machine seems to be present.I talked to SIX professional espresso repair shops in Washington, Oregon and California after my first 3 shots - all on the first day! I was so mad I wanted professional advice. All said that the grind was too fine. Yet going coarser did not fix the problem.Two of the six recommended the Philips Carina Superautomatic Espresso Machine - and one of those two did not carry Philips; both recommendations seemed quite informed and sincere. It costs a hundred bucks more than the Breville Roma. The repair shops said operation would be trouble free and I'll spend 39 bucks for an extra year protection plan. My former boss's ancient Philips coffee machine (not espresso) produced "best coffee I've ever had" type of results, so I'm hopeful.Of the six repair shops I consulted, the most famous (in Portland) in terms of youtube hits (hundreds of thousands) was honest when I said "how much to spend for completely reliable results?" Their answer: "About $1000.00." While this business did not recommend the Philips when I told the owner I'd probably buy the Philips, he told me to expect good results.Two other of the six said home espresso machines were notoriously unreliable. The gal at my local Bed, Bath, Beyond (and I realize this is not scientific whereas the shops I spoke to are probably truly expert advice) said she'd tried almost every model Bed Bath sells and at the $700.00 price point is where she felt the machines were finally somewhat reliable.Breville gave me an RMA with a sincere apology. Unfortunately, the terms of the return - not ONE THING including original packaging can be missing, or no return, were presented very rudely.For me, this was a strikeout and not a base hit. From the moment the machine arrived...

5.0 out of 5 stars Great machine for a decent price
Reviewed in Canada on October 6, 2023
I purposely waited to write this because I wanted to be able to give a fully informed review. So many review I see on Amazon are from people who 'just got the thing' and haven't had enough time for something to go wrong.

I bought this particular model because a family member has had the same one for years and is really happy with it.

I've been using this machine a couple times a day now for about 8 months, and I have to say I'm very happy with it. It's solidly built, easy to use, easy to clean and doesn't take up a lot of space. Best of all, it makes great coffee and the steamer works very well (make sure to remove the outer metal cuff/hose from the steamer nozzle and clean it all thoroughly after each use).

My only complaint is that it's not easy to see the water level because the interior of the slot where the water tank sits is dark grey. All they would have had to do to make the water level more visible would be to paint a strip of white at the back of the slot so that when light shines through it has something to bounce off of. I tested that out by slipping a strip of white paper into the back of it, and with that white background it's really easy to see the water level. Such a small thing, but that only makes it doubly annoying that they didn't do it.

Other than that, I truly have no other complaint about this machine. I am extremely happy with my purchase and would recommend it to anyone else wanting a good, quality machine without spending an arm and a leg. It is the kind of machine that I feel will last a long time and hold up well to repeated daily use. I've had 8 months now to confirm that.

Update: I felt the need to address a comment I saw in another review about this thing having 'a dorky steaming wand', along with comments about the intelligence level of people who 'can't use a normal steaming wand'. The steaming wand on this unit is a totally normal steaming wand. I think the reviewer just didn't realize that it has a removable long outer stainless steel cuff for optional use. I hope they clue in soon, because that cuff needs to be removed and cleaned after every use to prevent a crusty buildup of burnt milk on the inside of it.

Now, on to why that stainless steel tube/cuff thingamajig (Breville's term for it is 'texture enhancer') is so useful: It enables the user to force the steam into the bottom of the milk jug, thereby making it a lot easier to fully heat the milk. I like my steamed milk piping hot, and this texture enhancer makes it a lot easier/quicker to reach higher temps. The other thing I've noticed about using it (and likely the reason for the name of the item), is that the texture of the milk foam it creates is so much nicer. The bubbles are tinier, the foam is smoother and creamier. Just divine.
