Product Description
Café culture for the home countertop. Die-cast aluminum and zinc body. A full 4.5" (11.4 cm) clearance accommodates larger cups - ideal for espresso variations like Americano, Cappuccino, and Café Latte. Prior to extraction, the unique 15-bar Triple-Prime pump automatically releases three bursts of hot water into the filter head, causing the ground coffee to expand. The increased pressure allows the machine to extract more crema and gives the coffee a rich, smooth taste. Both 'Single Wall' and 'Dual Wall' filters now included.

I love my machine.If my house were robbed and they stole my Breville 830, I would replace it with another Breville 830 (I've only had the machine for 4 months...I reserve the right to change my opinion if it fails me in the first 2 years).BES830XL Die-Cast Programmable Espresso MachineEvery morning I stumble over to this very beautiful piece of machinary, and push that round "start" button and savor the anticipation of coffee drinks better than I get at the local overpriced coffee drive-through.I can't comment on reliability apart from "mine works just like new and I use it twice a day". At four months old, that's expected. Ask me in 2-3 years. My last machine was a gift from my parents in 1991. It finally died of total system collapse (i.e. "old age").This machine makes great espresso WITHOUT having to be an expert.I had my heart set on a LaPavoni Europaccola, but after reading the blogs , I knew that I'd never devote the hundreds of hours to learn how to exactly tamp the coffee, say the magic spells and do the special espresso dance necessary to pull a great shot out of such a machine.SO maybe this machine doesn't produce the AMAZING espresso that experts get from a LaPavoni. But even a half-awake idiot like me can dump coffee into the Breville basket thingy and push the big round button at 6:01am and have truly good espresso by 6:02am.GREAT:******The machine is BEAUTIFUL to look at. It looks more expensive than $500. In the past, when I've looked at a lot of machines in stores, seen the price , and thought "they want HOW MUCH for THAT?" Not this machine.Well-built. The brew head "assembly" is definitely made to last. It weighs about 25 pounds, so it's not some flimsy piece of junk.So easy to make excellent espresso. The included filters have some sort of a pressure thing in them so you get exactly the right pressure for good espresso. If you're an expert, you can use the single walled baskets.Buttons are easy to program if you prefer your shot size to be larger/smaller than standard.Steam gets generated pretty quickly, & Steam wand easy to clean.I love the 2+ litre water tank (although it seems to go through water pretty quickly).Average to not-so-great:************************The hot water spout is semi-lame. you run out of hot water real fast.The drainage try fills up pretty quickly, and it's a bit plasticy underneath the nice metal cover.BE CAREFUL not to use overly finely ground coffee with double-walled filters. The coffee will get stuck in between the walls and then you will be most unhappy. Note: I put the "ruined" filter in a pot of boiling water for several hours, put it in the Breville, and then ran hot water (no coffee) thru it until the gunk got blown out.I find the "huge solid steel cup warming tray" is useless - it takes about a half hour to get the cups warm. Unless you leave the machine on all the time.Because the coffee filter assembly is such a big hunk of solid metal, the first shot of espresso can come out a bit lukewarm. Manual recommends running hot water through it. I don't bother. I just make my first one a double.For $500, i think the warranty should be longer than 12 months....even if it's "parts & labor" for 12 months and "parts" for months 13-24.

This particular model (830XL) was out of stock at most dealers. I was tempted to get the older model, 820XL, but found negative reviews regarding its pressure guage breaking down often. I wanted to avoid that so I waited and found a seller that had the newer 830XL in stock. Item was well packaged and was delivered ahead of schedule.I ran my first espresso, and it came out decent with a good amount of crema. I tried again using a different grind size. I can see the pressure guage showing optimal pressure for the 1st run, and slightly higher for the 2nd run. On the third run, the pressure guage stopped working and the espresso was muddy and terrible. I made sure everything was clean and water tank was full, etc. I tried both manual and automatic modes. I tried going back to initial grind size. I have a pretty good coffee grinder (Rancillio Rocky) that gives out very consistent grind size. I tried everything I could think of, but the pressure guage never worked again and the espresso was not the same as the first two that came out.They emphasize that this machine is die-cast. I was expecting a solid build quality. It's beautifully designed, but I don't know how much of this machine is actually die-cast. A good part of this thing is also plastic with something silver on the surface. I can cause the machine to flex slightly by applying some pressure from the sides when I try to move or shift it. It didn't feel as solid as I was expecting it to be.I really wanted to like this espresso maker. It appears Breville did not do so much to address the common pressure guage problem found in the previous model. Thank God I bought this from Amazon; I just arranged a return with the Seller without any trouble.I've purchased a Rancilio Silvia since. Very satisfied with the Silvia. Check her reviews.

I purchased my Breville BES830XL online, as an open box floor model. It has functioned fine out of the box, and has given me no mechanical problems.The only issue I have with this machine is a design flaw, which I have successfully worked around. The stock filter basket is a double-walled pressurized filter basket, meaning that once the coffee passes through the standard porous bottom of the filter, it then is forced through a SINGLE hole in the very bottom of the filter. While this ensures that you have crema on your shots every time, does not yield a quality shot. Perhaps Breville is aiming at people who want to own espresso machines more than they want good espresso. I dunno.The work-around is simple. Seattle Coffee Gear (no, I don't work for them) offers a NON-pressurized filter basket ([...]) which is retro-fit to this machine. With some experimentation with grind/amount/tamping, you can make a GREAT quality shot of espresso using this Breville, but you need the non-pressurized basket.Since the modifaction, my machine has been making great espresso for me almost daily for two years. It now has performance to match its devilish good looks.
