Breville Cafe Roma ESP8XL Espresso Machine

This is a pump type espresso machine versus a steam machine (those that sell new for about $50 or less). The ESP8XL makes espresso coffee with a tasty layer of crema on top, that carmel colored, slightly foamy layer that's the goal. It will do this without the high temperature of the less expensive steam machines, which is a bit too harsh for the coffee. The ESP8XL takes some understanding. The pump is noisy and the puck of coffee grounds left in the filter will be wet and soupy; therefore, they can't simply be knocked out like the dry pucks of a steam machine. A more expensive pump machine with a three-way solenoid valve will leave a dry puck, but it will require more maintenance for that convenience. You will have liquid accumulating in the drip tray, so I clean the tray daily. I'm not an expert, but my ESP8XL doesn't seem to work very well for frothing the milk with the steam wand. I think the steam machines do it as well or better. I just pour half-and-half into my coffee which works for me and its quicker with less clean-up. Making a good espresso requires good, properly ground coffee, a quality machine, and some time and patience with your individual learning curve and goal. It's easy to become either a fanatic or move on to more important things in life.Lire l'avis complet...

It has its quirks, but it's an excellent 1st machine

Everything the critics say is true — the filters can clog if you use a grind that's too fine, the frother is so-so (at least on the earlier version), the black plastic locking base plate/neck can crack, and it shakes the cups around while you're pulling a shot. Nonetheless, if you use it the way it was intended, it should provide lots and lots of years of excellent service. Notice how nobody has any qualms about the espresso it makes. I believe most of its more serious flaws like the cracked plastic neck are from improper use (overfilling the filter basket or threading it improperly). In my opinion, this is the best value in the entry-level 15-bar machines. Love it!

ADDENDUM: I've now used this machine for 3 months and am completely comfortable with it. It is an EXCELLENT machine, but you must have the proper GRIND otherwise the filters will clog. Get a good burr grinder and grind on the coarse side for espresso. (On my Baratza Virtuoso, I grind it set at 12.) Also, it's a good idea to run a shot of water through the filter after you've used it and cleaned it out. This helps dislodge any particles of espresso still in the filter basket. Now that I have a ritual down, it never clogs on me. Ever.

My one complaint with the machine is a minor one: the "puck" after you pull a shot is on the wet side so it's a little messy to clean out the used grounds.Lire l'avis complet...

Nice Espresso Machine

I've been using my machine about 4-5 days per week for about 3 weeks now to make latte's. Overall I think this is a very good machine.

The good parts:
- produces outstanding frothed milk and it can froth continuously.
- the new all stainless frothing wand works well and doesn't have to be taken off to be cleaned
- the espresso comes out very hot and produces a very nice crema
- the water resevoir is a good size, has a convenient handle and seats nicely
- the drip tray is easy to remove and clean


The not so good parts:
- the frothing wand moves back and forth but not up and down.
- when the frother is turned off it will siphon some milk back out of your container if you do not pull it off immediately
- I cannot see the water level in the resevoir through the viewing window, I have to open the lid and look in to see how much water remains.
- the espresso handle is not completely sealed and will allow some water to enter if it soaks for cleaning which will drip out when the handle is attached to the machine

Overall, this is a very solidly made machine that works very well. I am very happy with my purchase.Lire l'avis complet...

The Little Engine That Could...

I purchased the Breville Cafe Roma ESP8XL Espresso Machine for design quality, size, and price. I am pleased with my purchase.... I have been wanting my own machine for quite some time and just couldn't see spending a fortune on one!! I think this machine is a great deal for the first time buyer. I tried it out.... ok lets go back many many years first, because I was a barista right out of high school; so I know what a good espresso is and the art of making one. I am usually a coffee person by day and espresso person by weekend... so I am ordering some PODS for ease of use and cleanup! Grinding the beans, measuring, tamping and producing that yummy crema can be time consuming!!! I am all about quick and convenient... thus the pod purchase!
I would recommend this product to any beginner that wants a very simple, easy to use machine!!!Lire l'avis complet...

Good machine but Filter cup clogs; USE COFFEE CLEANER!

For the first year, I loved this machine. Worked great. Coffee flowed fast. You have to get used to the fact that the steamer will shoot off a small amount of water first before it steams; I use this to heat up a carafe and then pour that water out before sticking it under the coffee dripper.

However, now after a year, the one-hole filter is getting clogged. I turn it upside down on concrete with paper towel over it, and bang it down, and I can see tiny coffee particles that have been slowing the whole thing down as it drips now,not streams as before. I'll order another filter, hoping that it's NOT the pump. Overall, I like it alot, except for this filter problem.

FOUND THE ANSWER: I had to use a coffee machine cleaner, and it now works again like a charm. I used the liquid by Goo Gone and a big lump of junk got spit out of the steamer, and now it works perfectly! You simply put the solution in, 1/2 strength, and in about 20 mins, its working again!

Got the machine off ebay as an open box. It worked fine, saved $100!Lire l'avis complet...

Breville Cafe Roma ESP8XL

It is necessary the user follow the instructions provided. Also, there is no perfect expresso machine so each has characteristics that appeal and some that are annoying. This is our second expresso machine and we like it very much. It does what it is supposed to do, and it does it well. Two common negative characteristics others have pointed out are: the water tank is small and needs to be monitored closely, the second is the dual filter system. I wish the Breville people would offer a single filter system. While it is easy to maintain with frequent use, this machine is a little more maintenance heavy than our other machine. The price is right, and when instructions are followed this is a user friendly machine.Lire l'avis complet...

Little Breville good for beginners and office

I own a Breville dual boiler (BES920XL) and love it. So I decide to buy a smaller Breville for my office. This little good pump machine is compact, easy to use and ideal as an extra espresso machine for your office.
For those new to the Breville brand the ESP8XL has a few extra cleaning steps than other conventional brands doesn't need. After each espresso the machine drips water to a reservoir in the base. The reservoir needs to be empty and rinse every three to four days depending on the use. For those than doesn't care about this extra step this is the perfect machine.
Espresso quality is not as good as my BES920XL but is better than any other comparable brand in size.
This is the perfect Espresso maker for the beginners and those who needs and extra machine at work.Lire l'avis complet...

Best Period

I bought one for $500 when they came out. Always keep a spare just in case of failure which is very unlikely. However know you cannot EVER get all the water out of tanks on a used one so good chance of leaky mess n shipping and sometimes they fail from ship even with tested good unit from this water.

Sometimes turning upside down and shaking very hard with side tank OFF can fix this issue.Lire l'avis complet...

great tasting luke warm coffee

My only complaint is that the coffee is luke warm 98% of the time. If you want hot coffee you have to wait 10 to 15 minutes. The machine makes great tasting coffee with a thick foam on top. the steamer works differently than other espresso machines I have owned. If you follow the directions on how to steam, water is introduced into your milk. I do feel it is a quality made machine. If the coffee were to come out HOT on the first brew I would be in love with this machine, but since I have to wait up to 15 minutes for hot coffee I will not be purchasing this brand again.Lire l'avis complet...

Breville Cafe Roma not as hoped at all!

We bought the Breville Cafe Roma in hopes that it would be more beautiful(which it was), than our old machine, faster(maybe a little), better tasting espresso (not)and we were disappointed. It did look good, all metal housing, the one we had was red and chrome - very stylish...however that is where the love affair ended! There is only one extrememly tiny hole in the filter, so it constantly gets clogged up with all the pressure pushing the water through the grinds and that one hole. They even supply a cleaning tool (a little pin thing) to clean out the one hole, but unfortunately by the time you find that it has clogged YET AGAIN you are in the middle of trying to make an espresso, and have to take it all apart, throw out the half used coffee grounds, and start all over again. No matter how the coffee is ground, unless of course you had it too coarse to begin with, it would ultimately clog at some point.
Also the so called "vibra pump" is just plain embarrassing! Switch it on to froth, and it starts to ka-thump ka-thump ka-thump loudly through the entire frothing process. The whole thing is a pain - espresso was fairly good tasting and froth was good, but not worth the money or the noise and the clogging.Lire l'avis complet...
