At the time, the reviews all agreed, this was the best home espresso machine. The crema is simply fantastic! It comes with everything you need to use the espresso pods or freshly ground and properly tamped coffee (you'll need to fiddle a bit with the grind and the tamping to get the perfect cup). It has served me well over the past seven years and is still going strong. Never had any trouble with it and the espresso is first rate.

At the time, I got it on sale but still thought it was expensive. At full price, I probably would have trouble buying it. But that said, it's a fantastic machine and may well be worth the money. In 2009, I'd have to research espresso makers again before I'd make the purchase. This was the best I could find in 2002 though. -- Bought this back in 2002 and am very happy with it

This is my 3rd machine in the 13 years I've been making my own espresso. It wasn't worth the amount of money it cost me. I did get a lot of use out of it. At first it worked just fine. So I guess I got my money's worth. The brew head is very hard to get to. The brew head is way too hard to clean and leaks no matter how much or how little amount of coffee I use. The machine leaks water a lot now. My main complain with the machine, the brew head is not good. For the amount of money this machine costs, it should be better. -- Good machine, but not worth the money

I had a krups machine a year ago and it started to leak right after the warrenty expired. Then I bought this machine; the crema is way better and the espresso is fine. Water leaked from the fliter when I didn't lock it up, but it worked fine once got handy. I didn't find Auto Espresso Flow very useful though.

Overall very good machine. -- Nice Machine with excellent CREMA!

Briel's espresso machines are complete junk. I had the same problems the others reviewers state. After reading the complaints about the service center and how you pay shipping both ways for warranty repairs, I have decided to junk it and count it as a lesson learned -- Don't be misled by Briel rep. write-ins

This machine's instructions are awful. There is almost no explanation of anything. A 7 year old could write a better manual. After starting the machine is is noisy and vibrates like a tin can when operating. The machine is also impossible to adjust for the exact cup size. It also leaks water after it stops brewing, now I know why the drip pan can hold so much. It leaks more with the ESE pods than regular grinds. The flavor is good but is is just not worth the money. Most likely sending it back ASAP. -- Not worth the $$$$
