to be fair this worked ok for 6 month before we noticed pump issues, heating issues and steamer issues, it now takes forever to heat uo and when it is up to temperature the coffee is still not hot enough so we have to steam it up to temperature, however that takes for ever to heat up and it pumps out loads of water with the steam where it never did that 6 months ago.
we dont have hard water issues but still use non hard filtered water so have never had problems with scale but still run a descale and cleaning cycle regular to keep it maintained.
its been in use every day for just over 12 months now and basically ready for the bin, however it is older than 12 months as we never used it for a long while as we was still using pods before pods became too expensive to use..
it seemed like great value at first but i dont like the idea of getting used to changing my coffee machine every 12 months when it just pops out of warranty as it seems like this is designed to fail just outside of the warranty. i will not buy another

I bought this Breville to replace my old leading Italian Brand budget coffee maker that was over 11 years old ( well beyond my initial expectations) and had probably made coffee over 8000 cycles. This Breville was I initially chosen on its functionality ,design and user review. Pros It fits neatly on the kitchen work surface under the cupboards and it is a bonus to me that I can store a can of ground coffee on the cool water tank at the back. Its stainless steel build looks good. The coffee produced is very good once you get the coffee filter holder levels right and tamped down. We drink coffee strong and black so I haven’t used the milk wand and probably only use the wand on my previous machine less than once a year. The automatic function fills 2 cups or a large mug adequately. Cons The most significant problem with the machine is the loud vibration that will shake a two cup setup apart resulting in spillage. Initially I reduced this by placing the cups on a folded paper kitchen towel. After experimenting the best solution is to buy a sheet of 22mm diameter x 10mm self adhesive silicone feet. This reduces the noise and vibration. (See pictures, use only 4 feet at the corners or the vibration will come back). A pity that Breville didn’t seem to detect the problem in the design stages and add deep silicone feet costing a few pence. Using automatic to produce coffee tends to produce cooler coffee and probably does not get the most out of the load. I have therefore reverted to the technique that I used on my previous manual coffee maker. I let the machine heat up and half fill the mug or cups before turning the machine off. I then immediately turn on again, let it heat up and the complete filling the mugs before manually stopping. It really is hotter and better taste extracted.
The coffee filter holder is a bit smaller than I am used to so the coffee strength of 3 is a little weak for a double cup or full mug. Using strength4, 5 (expresso coffee) and above does produce very good strong coffee . I think the Barista Mini has a bigger coffee holder but the design is not as nice and it is more plastic.
Overall For the price it seems a good machine with some resolvable issues. I have used this machine 3 times a day for just over 6 months without major issue.

Me and my husband are bug coffee drinkers and always wanted a good ecspresso machine but the prices was not in our favour.. but then I found this Breville ecspresso machine and fell in love with it! I always drink my coffee with milk so I put 2cup attachment and make my milk hot and fluffy with steam wand – perfect latte👌😍 this machine ir really easy to use, and clean. All process takes up to 5 min, the machine itself warms up quickly (~1min) I just prepare my coffe in that time, after O make my ecspresso I immediately press streem function and while it warms up I clean up my coffee container and also prepare milk for steam👌 ( Never forget to clean you steam wand immediately after use!?) And the price of this thing is just a bargain, you will never find it cheaper 🎊 really recommend!

Review:
I’ve been using the Breville Bijou Espresso Machine and am really impressed with it. It’s a great little machine that makes excellent espresso, cappuccinos, and lattes.
The build quality is excellent. The machine is made of high-quality materials, and it feels very sturdy. It’s also straightforward to use. The controls are simple, and getting great results with a bit of practice is easy.
I especially like the fact that the machine has a built-in steam wand. This makes it easy to froth milk for cappuccinos and lattes. The steam wand is also mighty, so you can get the perfect foam.
Overall, I’m thrilled with the Breville Bijou Espresso Machine. It’s a great little machine that makes excellent coffee drinks. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a good-quality espresso machine.
Pros:
Great build quality Easy to use Makes great espresso, cappuccinos, and lattes Built-in steam wand
Cons:
It can be a bit noisy The water reservoir could be bigger
Overall:
I recommend the Breville Bijou Espresso Machine to anyone looking for a good quality one. It’s a great little machine that makes excellent coffee drinks.
