Bottom Line: Buying new, I would buy something better, but yes, I would buy a Breville based on my discoveries. Especially if it was a boiler model not another theromoblock.

Bottom Line: Yes you can make a slightly better cup with a fancy machine but in terms of bang for buck this one takes some beating.

Bottom Line: I really enjoy drinking the coffee once I get it to my liking. Better than a cheapo machine. Not as good as a $1,000. one.

Bottom Line: If espresso is what you want, this machine is hard to beat for $400. I think you need to spend a lot more for quality foam.
