Breville 800ESXL Die-Cast Espresso Machine Review
Breville is one of the most trusted and reputed Espresso Machine brands out there in the market. For many years Breville is pushing out product after products that are shaping up the Coffee making industry. The 800ESXL Die-Cast is also follows the same pattern. Decently priced, the Espresso Machine made out of stainless steel appears to be a bargain in the overpriced market.
It is power packed with a lot of features and handling and maintenance of the machine is very low. The only problem with the Espresso Machine from Breville is its longevity. You are not completely sure about how long the machine will last. It could die 1 hour after the expiry of its warranty period of 1 year or may go on to produce tasty coffee for many more years.
One drawback that I found is that you have to diligent clean the filters regularly as to avoid a substantial amount of clogging in the filters.
Final Words
The Die-Cast Espresso Machine provides a perfect combination of high quality, rich style and great functionality and should at least be in the shortlist of people looking to buy a Coffee maker in the near future – whether they are completely novice or even if they have a completely experienced artistic hand in making great coffee drinks.
