Title: The juice is worth the squeeze
Review: This will be my initial product review based on unboxing it and having tried it out once. I will update in 6 months and then a year. Let's get the major concern some may have with this machine, the sticker shock. Yes, it is pricey. Yes, the juice is worth the squeeze on first impressions. I have owned a number of coffee makers over the years (Cuisinart, KitchenAid, most recent was a Keurig Duo Plus) so this review is in comparison to those. I decided to replace the Keurig as it was no longer making a full pot no matter how often I descale it and I am diligent on doing that. It was also leaking water, from where I could not determine, but that might explain why it would not brew a full pot despite the water tank still having plenty in it.This coffee maker is solidly built. The thermal carafe is heavy, so it is properly insulated. The water tank is big with a big opening and clearly marked and legible water level indicators. The basket filter basket is big and easy to insert and it does not have to go in any specific way. It will click in place if you insert it straight on, sideways, maybe just not upside down. Much more solid feeling than the Keurig. It fits perfectly under my cabinets as well and despite it's size and heft, takes up less real estate than the Keruig or any of the others I have had.Set-up is easy, just read through the manual first, which has clear and concise instructions. Measuring your water hardness is easy as well. The dial on the front to set the time, water hardness, brew style, filter basket style, etc is easy to read and navigate. Setting up the auto-start function is also a breeze (yes, heretical as it may seem to java purists, I use this setting during the week to have my coffee ready by the time I am out of the shower and ready for my first cup while I log in to work). The Keurig was pretty much easy to use to brew coffee but set-up was not. The method to set the time was not the easiest. Setting the auto-start time was very convoluted to say the least.Brewing coffee - I used the Gold setting as that is the express purpose of this machine and other top-tier machines, brewing coffee according to SCA standards. We use Farmers Brothers coffee as that is what most restaurants in our area use and we like the taste of that particular coffee (again, java purists will be mortified, but like with wine or beer, drink what you like). While the coffee in our previous makers was good, it never achieved that restaurant flavor (most restaurants use the Bunn coffee brewers and while I have not seen them indicate they brew to SCA standards, the quality of their brew is pretty dang good). With the Breville, the taste matched what I taste from this brand of coffee at restaurants. It was delicious! And it was hot! With the Keurig, I would have to microwave my creamer to warm it up, otherwise the coffee would cool down too much. Not with the Breville. Furthermore, I drink a cup at home and on the days I have to go to the office, I pack a cup to go in a Contigo cup. With the Keurig, when I got too work, about a 20 min ride, the coffee would be warm but not hot. Today, I arrived at the office and the coffee was still hot. And still as tasty as the first cup I had at home.First impressions are important and the Breville has made a good, strong first impression. Time will tell if it can maintain the lofty standard it set but I will update review.If you are on the fence. buy it. The juice is worth the squeeze.

Title: Best Quality Brewer I've ever used!
Review: I've put the Breville Precision Automatic Coffeemaker to the test!What I discovered was amazing coffee in every batch! I was very hesitant to spend $300 on a coffeemaker. I was hoping that for that price, it would also wash, dry and fold my laundry, but no such luck. Instead, I settled for a perfect cup of coffee, which I think is a pretty good trade-off if you ask me.This well-made brewer impressed me at almost every step. I fell like the price is worth the money for this coffeemaker. I'll give you a simple run down and you can decide for yourself!Sturdy designThe water reservoir and body are hard sturdy plastic.The thermal carafe is large with a large opening for easy cleaningThe lid is very sturdy and very easy to use with a flow-through brew and no adjustments before pouring.The filter basket is deep, wide and sturdy and moves in and out of the machine as smooth as butter.OptionsThis baby has all the options you could ever want! Seriously, there is something for EVERYONE.You like a mesh filter - comes with oneYou like a cone filter - comes with oneYou like cold brew - does itYou like iced coffee - doneYou like strong coffee - there's a setting for thatYou like your coffee exactly as it's recommended by the SCA - yeah, you guessed it, there's a setting for that!You like it hotter, cooler, faster, slower, longer bloom time, no bloom time - you can you the "My Brew" settings and get EXACTLY what you want! I LOVE THIS.Oh did I mention that it's also got an auto-start?Do you think the only way to brew perfect coffee is a pour-over method? Well, my friend, it can do that too! (but this does require additional equipment)Features worth mentioning:Due to the unique water boiler design, the water remains at a steady temperature throughout the brewing cycle so all of your coffee is perfectly extracted, and you CAN tell a difference.The fact that the brewer gets the water to 195 - 205 is another reason the coffee turns out so amazing.The water reservoir has lines that are easy to read, so you know exactly how much coffee you're about to brew. This tells you how much ground coffee to add to the filter.It comes with a scoop that coincides with the number of cups that are marked on the water reservoir. You are brewing 4 cups, use 4 scoops... 6 cups, 6 scoops and so on.Selecting the options using the dial are very intuitive and easy to use.What it's missing from this machine:The maid/butler to deliver you a hot cup of coffee in bed.A telepathic genie that will push the button for you.A grinder to grind the beans.Someone to sit with you and chat while you're enjoying an amazing cup of coffee.A coffee subscription to Bean Hoppers coffee (that would be a perfect world).My personal cons (but are really small gripes):The water reservoir does not come off for filling up the water to your desired level, and it would really make it easier to clean the reservoir. But since the opening is really wide, it's easy to wipe out from time to time, plus I could descale it.The lines on the reservoir are in 5 or 10-ounce increments. In the USA, 6 ounces is considered a cup and we're used to measuring 2 TBSP of coffee per 6 oz of water, but in the UK, 5 oz. is a cup. But they do provide you with a scoop that holds less than 2 TBSP and I've used it (heaping) and it really does taste great using their measurements too!The lid to the carafe gets water stuck inside it and potentially it may not dry out.Cost - very expensive, but I also think it's very well made and the cost is justified by the experience and the quality of the brewer and the amazing coffee it makes.It doesn't wash my laundry... just sayin.MY FAVORITE THINGS ABOUT THIS MACHINE:The water temperature is perfect and EASY to adjust.The settings are intuitive and easy to figure out and navigate.The water reservoir is easy to open, easy to see and has multiple methods of measure. (which is amazing!)The carafe is easy to clean.The filter basket is easy to clean.It really makes amazing coffee.It literally has something for everyone, no matter how you like your coffee.Overall I highly recommend the Breville Precision Brewer and would rate it a 9 out of 10 even at this price.Only because I haven't tried some other really nice brewers on the market that I'm still going to try. But I'm not sure how it could get much better.

Review: Si pudiera, la devolvería de inmediato. Estaba entre esta y la Moccamaster. Compré esta máquina al ver los reviews en youtube y acá. Por favor, vayan por una moccamaster, por algo las cafeterías de especialidad de TODO EL MUNDO las ocupan. Gran error cometí al comprar esta Breville... La presión del agua/vapor que genera la configuración "gold" es tan fuerte que dobla el filtro de papel sobre la cama de café en AL MENOS 8 de 10 veces. Tengo que tener un limpia pipa de metal y una linterna al lado de una máquina de 8000 pesos para hacer café, para cuando el vapor doble el filtro y yo lo pueda corregir. Eso implica que si no estoy poniendo atención, en varias ocasiones queda un café "a medias" muy aguado... eso implica café $$$ y filtros $ que se van directo a la basura.
