The increased pressure allows the machine to extract more crema and gives the coffee a rich, smooth taste. Both 'Single Wall' and 'Dual Wall' filters now included.

| 23 of 23 people found the following review helpful  I *love* my Breville...4+ stars, By This review is from: BES830XL Die-Cast Programmable Espresso Machine (Kitchen) I love my machine.If my house were robbed and they stole my Breville 830, I would replace it with another Breville 830 (I've only had the machine for 4 months...I reserve the right to change my opinion if it fails me in the first 2 years). BES830XL Die-Cast Programmable Espresso Machine Every morning I stumble over to this very beautiful piece of machinary, and push that round "start" button and savor the anticipation of coffee drinks better than I get at the local overpriced coffee drive-through. I can't comment on reliability apart from "mine works just like new and I use it twice a day". At four months old, that's expected. Ask me in 2-3 years. My last machine was a gift from my parents in 1991. It finally died of total system collapse (i.e. "old age"). This machine makes...

I was tempted to get the older model, 820XL, but found negative reviews regarding its pressure guage breaking down often. I wanted to avoid that so I waited and found a seller that had the newer 830XL in stock. Item was well packaged and was delivered ahead of schedule.I ran my first espresso, and it came out decent with a good amount of crema. I tried again using a different grind size. I can see the pressure guage showing optimal pressure for the 1st run, and slightly higher for the 2nd run. On the third run, the pressure guage stopped working and the espresso was muddy and terrible. I made sure everything was clean and water tank was full, etc. I tried both manual and automatic modes. I tried going back to initial grind size. I have a pretty good coffee grinder (Rancillio Rocky) that gives out very consistent grind size. I tried everything I could think of, but the pressure guage never worked again...

After a lot of research on the Internet and reading various reviews from posts and watching many YouTube demonstrations, I decided on the Breville 830XL. Yes, there were a lot of negative and even nasty comments, but the favorable comments outnumbered them by far. I received my first 830 XL on 14 Apr 2012. I was surprised that it was much smaller than it appeared in the advertisement and YouTube reviews. However it was very heavy, 10.3 kg (almost 23 pounds, net weight) and looked good and impressive on my kitchen counter. I had it ready within an hour for my first brew, even after spending time cleaning it and flushing the system out with its first hot water "brew." The coffee came out tasting not bad considering what other reviewers said about using cheap coffee and throwing away the first brews to get rid of the metallic taste of new metal. However I could not... Read more |
