Review on ☕️ Breville ESP8XL Cafe Roma Stainless Espresso Maker: Experience the Perfect Cup of Espresso by Robert Wells

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Love this machine

This is my second Breville ESP8XL. My newest, ESP6XL. lasted ten years and was used every day. I love this little car! It was a pre-8XL model. Basically the same. I had a hard time finding it for sale because Breville discontinued this model. I tried a DeLonghi car that looked similar to me and I was disappointed from day one. I found this one at Revain and immediately jumped in and ordered it. I don't care if this model is discontinued, I will happily use it for another ten years. This is a heavy, powerful and well-built espresso maker that makes great espresso every time if you just grind the beans to the right consistency, put in the right amount of portafilter and clean it when advised. The brochure tells you what a grind should look like and once you experiment and find it, you'll be ready for a great latte or whatever your preference. After brewing espresso, I always run some unfiltered water through the system. I think it helps a lot to keep the car clean. And besides, who needs leftover coffee for a new espresso?

Pros
  • Regular price
Cons
