Breville 800ESXL Espresso Machine

This is a great espresso machine! Why pay $4.00 or $5.00 for a cappucino when you make it just as good or better if you ask me at home with this machine? This makes a hot shot of espresso in about 3 minutes- start to finish. One of the best features is the cup warmer on top of the unit. It is such a nice idea to put heat up your cup instead of having to pour hot liquid into a cold cup! This machine comes with all of the adapters as far as how many shots of espresso you want to have. The tamper doubles as the espresso scoop which is nice to have included on Breville's part. I have saved the most impressive feature for last. The frother! This frothers does an excellent job. The steam is ready pretty quickly and is very forceful for this little machine. I used to work in a coffee shop and this rivals the higher end machine used in a retail shop. I am very impressed with the frothing capabilities and ease of use of the frother. My husband can even froth milk on his own now! This is also great for heating up water for tea in a pinch and to froth milk for hot chocolate!
