2.0 out of 5 stars Great Cappuccino, Bad Design Fault!, 26 Jan 2007

By	K. Harris - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Has anyone else had a problem with this machine? I have had 2 replacements due to the dial at the side sticking or braking making the machine no use at all because you can not dispense the coffee. I loved this machine in the time it did work but sadly i had to have my money refunded after the second machine would not work properly. Come on Breville update this model and i would buy a new one.

3.0 out of 5 stars Tastes great - but there's a design flaw, 21 Jan 2007

By	Emma (UK) - See all my reviews

I bought one of these about three weeks ago, and I have to agree with other reviewers' comments that this makes delicious, frothy cappuccino with minimal effort.

No need to wobble milk jugs under steam spouts; no need to measure out ground coffee - just put water in the steam tank, turn it on and wait a few minutes until it's up to temperature; put milk in the milk tank and slot it into position. Pour some instant coffee into the chute, turn the dial once per teaspoon of coffee, then turn to 'GO' and hey presto, you have perfect cappuccino.

Easy to clean - just fill the milk tank with clean water, turn the dial a few times to empty the chute of left over coffee, and then turn it to 'GO' and leave it to finish its cleaning cycle automatically while you go somewhere quiter and enjoy your drink.

At least, this is how it worked for the first couple of weeks (until the day after I threw the box away...).

It's quite tricky making sure you've got all the left over coffee granules out of the machine, how ever many times you turn the dial during the cleaning process. One day I obviously had not got them all out, and the dial was stuck. The manual tells you to turn the dial again - which may require 'slightly' more force than normal.

But the dial would not budge.

And the more pressure I applied, the more sticky it felt, and I had visions of the whole plastic assembly snapping. So, I had no alternative, but to pour a tiny amount (less than a teaspoon) of warm water into the chute to free it. This worked, except the water caused the excess coffee to solidify, making it even stiffer the next day.

And so it went on, each day having to put a little drop of water in it to free it, only for it to be even stickier the next day.

I still haven't solved the problem, and now it is nigh on impossible to get any coffee into the system, so my frothy cappuccinos are now little more than frothy milk with a little coffee colouring. I'm getting round it by adding the coffee to the cup (the same way as the chocolate powder is added to the cup when making a mocha) - but this misses the point.

So beware - it does make a delicious cup of coffee, but the coffee dispensing mechanism is not up to the quality of the drinks this machine can produce when it works. And if it gets stuck - don't do what I did and pour water in it...

UPDATE: I have contacted Breville (via their website) to complain about this item's design, but their customer service does not match their flash website and they have not even acknowledged my complaint (over a week ago now) - never mind replied or offered any help. I will think twice before buying any more Breville products.

UPDATE 2: It has now stopped even taking in the milk! It is utterly useless - the worst thing I've ever bought. Breville finally sent me a very rude and unhelpful reply to my 3rd email. I am off to buy a new coffee machine (definitely NOT Breville).

1.0 out of 5 stars One my second machine in 3 months!!!!!!!, 8 Jan 2007

By	Sammie (West Midlands, England) - See all my reviews

The cappuccino machine is a great idea, and it's fantastic that you can use your normal brand of coffee. However it really is too good to be true :o(
Our first machine 3 months ago packed up after 2 weeks, the mechanism just jammed, this is because you cannot clean where the coffee goes after it has dropped out of the hatch. The self clean system only cleans the tubes the milk+coffee go through together. This means that when the coffee sits in the mechanism it may start to conjeal if your not careful that it stays bone dry the whole time.
Our second machine has lasted 8 weeks and now it won't even clean itself. It just keeps producing steam and not pulling the liquid through, so even though it's making the right noises not much else is happening. This one has not jammed up, however they do seem very unstable.
I would suggest anyone thinking of buying this to look at the Kenwood Hot and Cold Frothy Drinks Maker, it's a simple design that can be cleaned properly, so there isn't any risk of the above.
