Rating:  - first one missing sealing ring, second one falling apart
First one came with missing sealing ring in the plastic collar.
I returned that and still hoping to get a functional piece ordered a second one.
That came in even worse shape, the sealing ring was there this time but the plastic collar was not attached at all because all four screws were simply missing !!
I am returning the second one too.
It is outrageous that someone is trying to sell these not functional not fully assembled things.
Rating:  - First use observations

I have to say that I now believe those negative reviews are from truly defective machines or truly inept people. This thing works great! It's very hard to find a truly European tasting cappuccino in the US. We've only had ... Read More
Rating:  - Not So Good Machine
Breville needs to do some design work on this unit. It does produce excellent thick crema shots but the double walled filter clogs easily and is a pain to try to boil clean. The krups unit I had for 10 years prior to buying this machine worked flawlessly. I have had to unclog the double walled filter at least 5 times in under a years time already. The other thing is that the machine is noisy and vibrates so much that you have to hold the metal expresso cups in place or the vibration causes them to slide ... Read More
